    Niger M.I.A.

    When my niger was small he would hide in rocks but for him to just go missing, that's odd. stir up the sand bed and lift up rocks. Try looking around on the floor's or pumps. It sucks when they just go missing, I always want to know where to dead or alive so you can prevent it in the future.

    For those of you that want Xenia.....

    Thats awesome lol. I just had to pull out a bunch of kenya and xenia out of my tank. When you rip it off the rock 90% of the time for me it comes back and over time if left non-pruned it becomes a pest.

    Ideas for blocking overlow

    So yesterday I traded some coral for a 5" baby snowflake eel, and today I found him in the sump. I'm adding a top to my overflow box to keep him from going over the top but the slots are 1/4". I'm wondering if I could add some kind of large screen to keep him from going through them or maybe...

    Coral Bleaching

    Tap and prime is not the way to go. I did this for a few months and then bought a RO/DI. I run my salinity at 1.026 and my birds nest looks awesome (I think) but I also have it under MH. you can use GFO to remove phosphates with a reactor. a pH of 8.4 is pushing on the high side, but if you...

    RBTA split

    he has always stayed on the glass near the top of the tank close to the overflow. it moved to the bottom to split and now both are back at the top. It does keep its foot behind a rock but its still in the glass.

    Overflow to sump.... Calling all Drilled bottom peeps

    As for them both dumping into the skimmer chamber? I would leave it how it is. You could change that 2nd baffle so you get more water in the fuge and would be able to grow out algae. Also I run a filtersock on one of my pipes that dumps into the skimmer chamber.

    RBTA split

    lol yeah, I was liking him as one huge nem though. It grew kind of quick so maybe it wont take long to get back to HUGE.

    RBTA split

    Well after having the BRTA grow up to 13" it finally split last night. It finished today around lunch time, the clowns are now going back and forth. I hope they stay together in the general area they were in before.

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    That's awesome, he sounds to have a cool personality... Mine wont spit at me but he loves to nibble on my fingers for some reason... it startles me when he does. Keep up the feeding with a good meaty food. Mine also likes clams and krill.

    finishing product for aluminum?

    You could also just use a flat clear coat of enamel paint. You can pick up cans of it anywhere

    The conch lives.

    I also bought a conch from BR. I see him about once every 3 weeks.... he will be out eating for awhile and then go hide in the sand. Might be normal for them?

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    Focus more on your ammonia and nitrite more so than your pH. pH is important but my Niger does fine is 7.8 when it drops. Do your after changes and feed him. Mine loves a full silver-side or shrimp.

    Over Flows?

    Seems pointless to round the edges.... If the box can keep up with the pump then why would you need more flow in the box?

    Over Flows?

    1.5" long and 1/4" wide. My water level sits right above my frame on the 75g. Its not an issue for lighting but I have 2 MH lights on each side.
