    Yellow Tang

    Steve, I woosed out. I have let my fish be because of the net thing and the additional stress that it may impose. I have tried to keep my hands, etc. out of the tank and give the fish time. It is kind of strange gut feeling I had because he has been active and eating well. I have to say in...

    Up And Running

    Great job, Tracy. Thanks for the little tip on the sump drain too. You saved me from about 5 gallons of IO on the floor when we lost power. Can you flow the ampmaster at full throttle? Are those 250 or 400? Cool man.

    SPS with VHO's???????

    Fragman has a VHO only 75 with awesome SPS. Check out the for sale items thread he had in there. His tank has about 8 VHO's but again depth is the obvious limiter.

    300 gallon mixed reef

    Boomer, Here are the numbers for this week. The tank seems stable still. The eff. from my reactor is down to @ 6.75 now. The PO4 chamber that I had running is dowon to a slow trickle now. Is this the time to add the Warner GFO? How much would you recommend for the 300 gallons? Still...

    Yellow Tang

    Hi folks, I have go a plan. Tomorrow morning - I will get up bright and early and tantalize my tangs with a a pinch of food. Then I will slide my net under him and if all goes well - I will be able to catch him. Today I toyed with the idea and he really doesn't mind the net. Kind of wierd...

    Yellow Tang

    I see the link for the dips. It says twice at 3 day intervals. Is this twice total meaning tomorrow and then in 3 days. Then he should be good or twice in a day at 3 days apart?

    Yellow Tang

    Okay, ronj I think you have it nailed. Steve, could it be but on my fish it is those dots all over but no dark bruises or dark tissue. He is looking perfectly health. The big question is how the heck do I get this little guy out of this big tank? Once I get him, I need to dip him? In FW...

    300 gallon mixed reef

    I have figured the problem on the NO2. After my dKH exceeded 10 - I am supposed to use 2 scoops on the test and have not opened the instructions up to notice this little "caption" on the testing instructions. TBS, here is what changed. NO2 since 11/3 has been inaccurately stated I think. I...

    300 gallon mixed reef

    Skimmer top half is cleaned weekly with my standard tasks. The skimmer overflow container is dumped about every 3 days. I try to keep the skimmer tube clean so that I can make adjustments if needed. The green skimmate is only in the skimmer chamber and pipe to the storage tank. The main tank...

    Are water changes realy necessary?

    I know the feeling...no problem. So if water changes are necessary as most folks conclude, what is the most common % of volume that would be required anyway?
