    Nudibranch ID

    Thanks. My tank, sump and refugium are all separate so I should be able to just treat the refugium, thanks for the idea jrgills. Right now I don't have a ton of the red ones just thinking if I'm going to treat I should do it sooner rather than later. I like the white ones and my wife thinks...

    Nudibranch ID

    Thanks for pointing me toward a flatform. From my research this guy appears to be an Amphiscolops sp. and is reef-safe ;).... Unfortunately looking over the other stuff I spotted in the refugium it appears I also got some "Red Planaria". Any advice beyond siphoing on how to get them out...

    Nudibranch ID

    So I've had my system setup for almost a month now and am finally starting to see some life in my refugium / Algae Turf scrubber. Tonight I was looking over things and I noticed what appears to be Nudibranch growing in the refugium. Anyone have any ideas on what they are? Video

    To UV or to not UV

    Thanks for all the feedback. I'm still getting everything running and am going through an algae outbreak right now so just picked up some Mexican Turbo Snails and broke out the toothbrush. I don't think I'm prepared to setup an Ozone unit but it does look appealing. I'm still on the fence on...

    To UV or to not UV

    I'm doing at least weekly water changes however I'm looking for any insurance in between to help with water quality in between. Hadn't considered electricution however wouldn't the GFC protect from this? Although this would turn off all my power on that outet which can be bad too.

    To UV or to not UV

    I've got a 145 Gallon display tank, 55 gallon sump and a 55 gallon refugium. I'm considering if its worth the cost / effort to put in a UV sterilizer. And if so where should I put it. My options are return from Sump to display with a ball valve + check valve, sump to refugium or from sump back...

    Spa flex plumbing question

    I utilized spa flex for my drains and just used PVC Primmer and Cement however I agree with others on the thread that it doesn't allow sharp turns however if you use a hair dryer it allows it to be a bit more flexible when your setting up. You should have seen my wifes face when I grabed her...

    Feeding Stations

    That's pretty cool. So do you hatch the brine shrimp remotely?

    Hitchhiker ID on a Green Elephant Skin Coral

    Thanks for the feedback! Great to hear that it doesn't appear to be too destructive but I didn't like the fact it was leaving what appeared to be a "scar" on the coral. After the removal the coral appears to be doing fine and I'm sure it will grow over the removal site.

    Stocking Plans

    Thanks for the feedback. I kinda figured that I could only have one tang. Any ideas on introduction order? I'm assuming the flame angle should be one of the last. I would like my next intro to be the Naso Blonde Tang.

    Hitchhiker ID on a Green Elephant Skin Coral

    Yeah I'll have to keep an eye out for eggs. Sorry for the quality of the pictures still working on how to get good macro photos through the glass and water. My wifes a photographer so she has the right bodies but it seems like she doesn't have a good macro lens. Plus layered on top there is...

    Hitchhiker ID on a Green Elephant Skin Coral

    Not sure how to move the thread, but I agree didn't look like a good criter. Broke out the dremel and cut them out. They left a tunnel structure in the skeleton of the coral which I cut open then redipped in coral rx. Well see how it does thanks for the input.

    Hitchhiker ID on a Green Elephant Skin Coral

    Took advantage of Barrier Reef's end of year sale and picked up a piece of Green Elephant Skin Coral. After doing an acclimation drip and a Coral Rx Dip I placed it in my tank but just noticed two citters on it. They appear to have a central moth and two feelers. I'm not sure if I should pull it...

    Things are going well. Amonia is holding steady at 0, NO2 around 1ppm and NO3 10-15ppm. Skimmer has broken in and is pulling junk out of the water. The Diatom bloom setting in. I realize this is just a phase while the tank is cycling however the research I've done has shown a split between...

    Apex unit

    Fallback ON - Means if there was a power failure or for what ever reason the powerbar can't talk to the main module default to on. Set ON - Means set the current state of the outlet to ON. As JrGilles says this should leave the outlet on all the time. Another option is under status just set...

    Its been awhile but I finally have a tank. First I need to thank Jason CFI for the beautiful tank and going above and beyond by #1 providing a reference to Wilson Remolding who did the cabinetry work, giving great advice on the tank design, coming by my home after hours to help me get the...
