    Poll: How often do you feed your fish?

    I know that you are supposed to feed twice a day, but I typically manage only once in the evening. 2 Occ clowns 1 Leopard wrasse 1 gold-spot goby 1 Green Mandarin 1 Dog face puffer 1 hippo tang

    Lee need your help with ID and treatment course.

    If anyone has Thursday afternoon free, DJ and I are headed his way to catch the remaining fish and try to fix them up while he is out of town, any assistance is welcome! Lee, since the remaining fish are looking healthy what is the correct course of action? I can setup a hospital tank for him...

    Oh yeah, that is the place to go for sure! You are in luck, it is next Sat!

    What do you guys think?

    Oh yeah, it cleans great, then you pull it out (stop right there Floyd) and you have nutrient export! Just like a fuge only bigger.

    Water results

    I did, I now use an Ro unit. I talked with thefilterguys.com on the phone. They were awesome, and did not upsale me at all. I had the water tested and everything looks good at about 35ppm tds, mostly iron. I still had a fair bit of algae growth until I added the Ro. It is a pretty inexpensive...

    What do you guys think?

    So if I bring the clam over your way you can irradiate him for me?

    Humidity Issues

    It will indeed work in the next room. Vapor pressure is very pervasive!

    What do you guys think?

    Man, if you are running out of projects, hop in the car and head my way, I'll fix you right up! I like the idea, other than the space/splash that I have noticed on other setups, I think it makes all kinds of sense. I'm looking forward to your build. As a side note, are you still running the...

    Differing test results on water samples - API vs Elos

    @Kirk: Hahaha, yeah, one of your fish is the total bioload of most tanks! :-)

    Looks fantastic Mike!

    Green Star Polyps not attaching

    I have not used that product. I typically use 2P10 Gel, works great and the bottles don't seal themselves shut. If you want to minimize the surface skim, just glue what you can out of the water and give it a swish in a cup of saltwater. I have never noticed any ill effects from using superglue...

    high nitrate levels

    For the reasons that the Skimster just pointed out, it is much easier to raise fish in a tank other than the display. You can feed lots and use water changes to export the nutrients without having many places to build up detritus. For me, I worked on making water changes as easy as I can, that...

    Differing test results on water samples - API vs Elos

    No, that should do fine :-) After the cycle is finished the hard part comes: stock SLOOOOOOW :-) that will allow the bacteria to keep pace with your added load. Toughest part of this hobby for me, patience!

    Differing test results on water samples - API vs Elos

    Keep up the water changes, the bacteria will normalize with time. Kirk is right that as long as there is nitrite present you are not done with the cycle. More time is all you need.

    high nitrate levels

    Tureefik87: In the first post he says that he is using ro/di water, that he is running an octo 200 skimmer, and for the record it is NOT ok to feed fish fry once per day. Cobyb: As thatguy says above, water changes are the way to remove nitrates. You might think about changing the filter socks...

    North Sound Reefers full tank shots.

    Sure, I will drag out the camera tonight and see what I can come up with.

    Green Star Polyps not attaching

    You can certainly cut it if you want. You can glue it in place or use a rubberband to hold it where you want it to attach. They grow crazy fast, so be sure you like them where you start them, they will be pretty tough to remove from rock once they establish.
