    Crazy Chromis

    So I have 5 Chromis. When I first purchased them back in March 1 would never come out of the rocks except to eat. After a few weeks they all stayed out and schooled together. Over the last month or so I though one of my Chromis had died until I saw it in the rocks. The fish is so pale it...

    Why are my polyps dying?

    I would consider 2 K3s and 1 K2 somewhat low flow for a 125. Is your tank 72" long? I have a 72 long AGA and I have 2 K4s (1200gph) and 1 Seio 1500, overall I have about 4700 gph flow including my returns. Cyano tends to only build up in some dead spots but dissipates within a few days or so...

    Can Carbon Cause Loss Of Polyp Extension??

    I recently started running carbon with a Phosban reactor without previously running carbon. After a day I noticed polyp extension for the first time in my system. I wouldn't worry too much about it...I have seen some tanks that guys on here have running lots of carbon and they have great polyp...

    Reefing the next 20 years

    I'm sure there will be advances that at this point you wont even be able to think of. All it takes is some research and development and for all we know you have a few electrodes that connect to your computer and control the enitre enviroment. 20 years is alot of time.

    Maintenance Advice

    Some good replies here. Lets see what I can do. :) "Sorry to hear about your algae troubles man, but the good news is, algae sometimes goes in cycles even in an established tank If nothing much has changed in your tank in a while, then the cyno may just be the result of a small cycle and may...

    Maintenance Advice

    Currently 2 250 Watt MH with Reeflux 12k bulbs that are around 2 months old. I plan to add a 3rd MH sometime soon. I have about 4,800 gph for flow including my returns. I have a MAG 12 that I figure is about 900gph at the head. 2 Koralia 4s (1200gph) and a Seio 1500.

    Chad's 125g reef project

    Steven just needs to see updates since he is too lazy to drive over and look at the tank his damn self. I'll throw some pictures up when I get home of my frag tank. :)

    Craigs List scam beware

    Another similar scam runs through Paypal and having non confirmed addresses, etc. Online fraud is so big because in most cases people don't know what recourse they can take after the fact. If for some sad reason you are taken by someone online and you at least have a name and address call the...

    need help with zoas

    Never had a problem with any Zoas I got from Steven. All opened up the same day, stay open all the time (except when my Clown rubs on them) and grow like mad.

    Overflow Question

    My Durso stand pipes are about even with the top of the Overflow, making the water level about 2-3 inches below the overflow level. It makes them very quiet.

    Koralia Setup for a 75g sps tank

    In your length of tank you would get good flow from 2 K4s. With how you have your return set-up this would probably be your best bet. You could have one on each end of your tank, then position them so they aren't directing flow right at each other. I'd say try 2 K4s. If you want more after...

    First Storm of the Year (PNW)

    I left work yesterday to try and get home before the storm (just before 2) to notice the storm was already kicking up. It was pretty windy in Federal Way, but I only lost power for about enough time to make my Koralia's chatter. (And cause me to replay a portion of the videogame I was playing...

    First Storm of the Year (PNW)

    Though this sounds like it will have a higher chance of impacting people in more wooded areas.... For those of you in these areas incase you are part of the majority of the US residents who pay zero attention to the news. "KING 5 Meteorologist Jeff Renner says the storm doesn't appear to be...

    damsel vs. chromis

    I wouldn't put fish in your tank if you think they'll die. If you have good live rock your cycle should be minimal if at all. Mine was that way. If your tank is ready to support life Chromis are a good addition. They are peaceful fish.
