    210 shark/reef tank

    Hey can you guys still see my photos that i recently uploaded or are they all red x's? I am only asking because my work blocked photobucket so anything from there is blocked so i am wondering if they blocked them entirely or if its just here at work that i can't see them?

    Corals aren't spreading/growing

    Gabby, I do run a skimmer and i skim 24/7 until my collector fills and then the skimmer is shut down till i empty the skimmer. Sometimes it will be down for a few days before i notice.

    Corals aren't spreading/growing

    No they go nuts when i feed them. Most of the food is gone before it hits the bottom. Only a few pieces towards the end get past my fish.

    Corals aren't spreading/growing

    Well to answer your question Don i would say that its not spotless. I have to clean the glass every 2-3 days but even then its not discustingly think its just a dustiong of algae or a very light film. I feed my fish daily. I also run a refugium and a sterilizer both are on/lit 24/7.

    Convict Tang doesn't look so good.

    A LFS near me just got in two convict tangs yesterday 3" each. I am going to check them out today and if they are good i will grab em. Hopefully they will do okay. If they look bad i am gonna pass on em and just place an order with the DR's.

    Corals aren't spreading/growing

    My ph stays between 8.1 and 8.3 i add iodine once a week and do small water changes every other day. By small i mean between 2-5 gallons. I do this only because i want to keep my QT tank levels at zero sice i don't have a great filter on it.

    Corals aren't spreading/growing

    Most of the corals i am concerned with are at the 4-5 month stage. I know that my new ones are not going to start growing for a while but still. My xenia and star polyps aren't spreading thats a sentence that shouldn't exist!

    I have to ask only because i am stumped. I have had my tank setup since July of 06 and so far i have had some tough breaks in the tank but my coral has always survived anything life has thrown at me. Knock on wood but every coral i have bought for this tank has kept on living which i think is a...

    Cleaner Shrimp has eggs

    I had this happen a couple of times in my old 90. Some of the shrimp did hatch and took shelter under some clam shells i placed in the tank. Unfortunatelly i never saw any make it. i think my green mandarin got them all. Still the female layed eggs a few more times until my tank over heated and...

    Finally new tank pics.

    I guess it is possible but you run the risk of losing certain body parts if you get caught so i will stick to just the one.
