    coral receeding- need help please

    it wouldn't really cycle, since the rock is well established, but would be quite a shock, I agree, just feeling desprate. Quite a tramatic crash I'm experiencing... check out the attached picts, the milli started loosing tissue yesterday, then you can see the picture from today.. pretty much...

    coral receeding- need help please

    Thanks, I wish so too looking like it's going to be a busy day.. unfortunately, not sure how I'm going to set up the quarentine tanks.. one with sps only, one with the sick softies I guess, wish I had a third skimmer for the rock.

    coral receeding- need help please

    I'm pretty on top of my cleaning duties, worse case senario maybe three weeks, definately not any real time for such troubles to build up... I do use a turkey baster, at least during cleaning/water changes, occasionally during the week as well. No, no HOB filter, used to have HOB skimmer - cpr...

    coral receeding- need help please

    exactly, that's what I don't understand... I'm no longer sure of the live rock weight, but it's piled from the bottom to the very top say 24 inches -30in tank; so there should be plenty -attached is a pic. Not a whole lot of a clean up crew these days, misc snails, still a couple hermits lurking...

    coral receeding- need help please

    oh and I did have cheato, but pulled it out with the sand a year ago, as it was collecting way to much detritus in the main tank... no ref, and at the time no sump to turn into a ref... thinking about going back to that, but it's already really crowded in my sump..

    coral receeding- need help please

    yeah, that's my general plan, RO is filling a bucket right now.. unfortunately, everything is fading fast, wondering if it might be a better move, to set up a new small, "emergency" tank, to pack all the corals in. I was hoping for any ideas concerning the nitrate.. since, it isn't anything new...

    coral receeding- need help please

    It's been a while since I've had much time to cruize the forums, or make it to any psas meetings, but I'm in need of some help please. I've had my tank set up for about 2 years, slowly getting things attemptively set up right. Anyway, it's an 80 gal tall tank, which is cool looking but presents...

    Nudibranch Breeding

    As for a constant supply of flat worms.. other than recomending you to a couple of stores I can think of! hehe... guess just setting up a second tank or two to let them breed is all I can think of

    Do you currently have any Berghia for sale? Where are you located. I hate having to ship, so if you're local I'd love to buy a few off you. What's your price per nudi? I'm in Seattle.

    my new look 220 gals

    Hey dang, I came in for lunch today and was worried when I saw the tank! Glad it was a change for good, not some horrible accident! hehe... Did you set up a new softie tank too, or just break it down... oh, also, I noticed there was a good sized frag of the blue acro that got broken off and was...

    circulation

    I'm glad to see the thread has continued so far! Been so busy with work, haven't had much of a chance to even glance back at it till today to see how it's grown! hehe.. as for my decision; I may go with a simple closed loop, but we'll see if I have time to plan this out soon! I'll try getting...

    circulation

    Yeah, I've considered just going with a seio, but trying to think more long term.. as I've seen, powerheads do lose power over time, even with regular cleaning...plus it would be nice to get a cleaner look with less of them in there... I don't know though, not a lot of time right now to build a...

    circulation

    I feel like my tank really needs some better circulation.. currently I've got a bunch of power heads, that I just don't think is doing as good of a job as it could be; especially looking at the detritus build up under the rocks. My tank is an 80 gal tall tank, 36x18x30. I'm debating getting a...

    Sorry to hear it Dang, if there's anything I can do, I'd be happy to swing by after work tomorrow or Friday? I've been trying to get work to order from you guys as much as possible, hopefully it will make the cost a little less painful for another new tank!

    lighting problem---Please HELP

    hmm..well, pretty sure it must be the ballast, despite it being strange that it's still powering up; with it open, I can hear a clicking noise of it trying to maintain connection...suck... thanks, guess i'll order a new one tomorrow, unless you or anyone else has any great ideas I'm...

    lighting problem---Please HELP

    Thanks, fun thing to come home to when trying to work lots of OT, I appreciate it! It's an instant start, worked great yesterday, but as of today, will trip the gfi and flickers, not quite to full brightness, but near it before overpowering the breaker. My first assumption, after a bad bulb...

    lighting problem---Please HELP

    thanks, I started taking it appart and all looks pretty good.. could it be the sign of a failing ballast, or do they just go completely usually? Is there a way to talk... I've done wiring work, but don't know a whole lot about it, to tell the truth

    lighting problem---Please HELP

    I have a orbit current 4x96watt pc set up. It's worked great for the last year and half, although the thin plexiglass cover warped out of fitting it within a year. I still use it, but it certainly doesn't completely protect the lights, which always concerns me... anyway, today one of the lights...

    bb and gsp's?

    Ilham, if you have any ideas to save it, I'd love to hear it... or if you're interested in the sand yourself, I'd be happy to share...though you may want to give it a good rinse first! What ever happened with the bangaii babies? I'm still quite interested in a pair...well, once I get this...
