    Lanthanum Chloride

    Don, I understand from my quick research that Lanthanum Chloride would be a very good bonder of phosphates in water, but with this being one of those "rare earth metals"... not sure for a hobbyist the possibility of "writhing, ataxia, labored respiration, walking on the toes with arched back...

    Smoke Vs Reef

    It sounds like you are on the right track with doing Water Changes. Your make-up has good readings for your Alk. What does your make-up water test for Calcium and Magnesium? If your Magnesium is way out of ballance, it also effects how Calcium & Alkalinity ballance for you, so you may wish to...

    Smoke Vs Reef

    Back when I did a softy-tank, I noticed that my Xenia were VERY picky when it came to my Nitrate levels. Anything going over 5, and they started slowing down on growth. When things got over 10, I might as well forget even trying to have them. This may be an area you can look into, and...

    Me, Myself, & Sherman too.

    As long as you find the time for the important things... like the excitment about your tank (not to mention what type beer might fit in that fridge in your system room), all is good guy! :D

    Mag 5

    With my Calcium Reactor, I found that every time it was ready to add more media I needed to completely clean it, and replace the sponge under the media at that time. If I only rinsed out the sponge, within a few days small particles of media found their way into my pump, and it started...

    Mag 5

    With the flow out of the bottom of your Calc-Reactor into the input of your pump... I am guessing no matter which pump you put on that will end up making noise... as the reactor media will break down then small pieces will get sucked into the input of any pump you place there. Even with a good...

    Quarantining for lots of fish…..

    Sorry to hear about your loss. :( The rubbermaid bins would work... however when I had my QT up and running, I found it most helpful to be able to actually look in and see how my fish was doing... where you would only be able to do a "top-down" look. Like I said though, the rubbermaid bins...

    Quarantining for lots of fish…..

    I'll defer most of those questions for the knowledge Lee brings here... but I don't see any problems with running all of your normal equipment. The light idea is probably a good idea since your fish would do just fine under just Normal Output lighting, I guess you could save a few in your power...

    Quarantining for lots of fish…..

    I would think, as long as you understand that any corals and most likely coraline algae, wouldn't appreciate the Hypo... I don't see a problem doing that on your main display. Don't take any shortcuts in your Hypo treatment. Take the time to do it correctly, especially after completion the...

    Dan, 1st, and most importantly... WELCOME TO REEF FRONTIERS!!! What you are most likely seeing, is the effect of competition for what will soon become (if not already) very little space for the type fish you have chosen for your system. Both the Foxface and your Tang require much larger...

    See Krik!!! Even in my "Lee Look-a-like" format, I wasn't able to say it nearly as well, mentioning nearly as many great points as Lee was... and that is even after a frustrating day I'm sure for him working to get a computer back up and running! ;) :D
