    Water Movement

    I never would have known about pinpoint vs. widespread flow until I used both Korelias. They are saying the Nanos are a little bit on the under-rated side( as far as GPH goes) but I like having both in that tank. I too am becoming a flow junkie! Dawg, depending on what you stock in there...

    ORA Phil's Granulosa is back

    Thank you Brie, wow, that puppy (Doctor Phil) is so GREEN!! I think he loves me already too, must be the fresh rotifers.

    Water Movement

    I have a 29, with a Koralia 1, rated at 400 gph. I recently purchased a Koralia nano 240 to get more flow towards dead spot at the back of the tank. In comparison to the two, the 400gph has worked wonderfully for me, has a wide spread amount of current vs. the nano, which it seems directs the...

    King N, that is the funniest avatar I have ever seen! LOL

    clownfish + breeding = hair algae??

    I thought it was everything from soap residue on my arms getting into the tank, to my granddaughter sneaking into the tank room and giving the parents some snacks. I don't know about you, but I get pretty huge spawns, and with only a 29 and two fish in a FOWLER, I think 400-500 live snacks in...

    clownfish + breeding = hair algae??

    I do notice a small algae bloom on my rocks the week following the hatch day. Took me a year to figure that one out. My phosphate level rises a bit and there you go. If I catch the babies, no phosphate (no "excess food") but if I let the hatch go, I have had problems. Adding more CUC has...

    Vinegar Solution

    Most everyone has vinegar around, and diluted white vinegar is also great on cleaning wood floors. I use it full strength, overnight, soaking the etch off of any glass pieces that I can remove (re: MH glass covers) I know what vinegar is made of, but I don't know what muriatic acid is made of...

    Wow, what a sale! I had a great time and would have said hello to either Mike or Mike (above) if I knew you (or anyone) from RF yet. ;) I kept Brie busy with a bunch of CUC restocking, got some B.Cardinal babies (Husband warning me not to start rearing ANY more fish, lol) and a gorgeous...

    Devastating Tank Tragedy

    Very inspiring thread! Michael, my heart went out to you when I was reading about the disaster and following days of death. SO glad to hear a happy ending though. I could totally relate to being so disheartened that you would want to throw in the towel on the hobby entirely, and glad you and...

    Changed spare room into clownfish nursery

    Here are a couple of full room shots... if I take out my granddaughters bed I can probably fit more tanks in. My neighborhood will refer to me then as the Crazy Clownfish Lady.... so, I say no! I keep 2 buckets of rotifers inside when I need them for feeding larvae. If I want plain rotifers...

    Changed spare room into clownfish nursery

    It all started one night. I was sad because I watched Mom and Pop clown carefully tend another batch of eggs and I knew they were all going to magically gone the next morning. I started reading forums about raising them, bought Joyce Wilkerson's book on the subject and bought rotifers and all...

    Test kits for beginners

    I will be sure and keep a close eye on the dates on my test kits, great tip. :) A refugium is on my list of Things to Do Next. I believe having one will make a big difference. Algae growth always happens right after a clownfish hatch. Most times I let the hatch go, therefore I guess "...

    Test kits for beginners

    Hi, I'm Carol and fairly new to reefkeeping. I am glad I found this site to assist people like me with all the many aspects of this hobby! Already I have learned a LOT, just by reading through the forums here, although I admit it would take me days and days to read everything. Plus the fact...

    New Fish

    Webos, I said the same thing you just did,about a year ago! I love my clowns, and when they first started spawning I totally freaked out, thinking about "Nemo" hatching and then getting all eaten up. All the LFSs said that the spawning was great nutrition for the tank and I now agree, even...

    What to do in case of emergency

    Thanks, Dragoneggs I AM the scared wife and now am not afraid of any power outages, of which out here between Woodinville and Mill Creek there have been quite a few over the years...always when the hubby is away too. As long as I keep a gas can of fuel I know I can keep all my tanks happy...

    What to do in case of emergency

    I use a Honda 2000i generator for power outages. It's small, easy to start and will run all my tanks (and a hairdryer in the morning) for about 10+ hours on a gallon of gas. I just carry it outside to a window closest to my tanks and pull-start it. Quiet too.

    Hey Nata, I wrote you back an Email about your tank...I live up north near Mill Creek so probably would take an hour to get to your place.
