    John Brancheau Slimmer

    Here is a frag that I got from my friend John Today. I measured it because we are going to calculate growth rates as part of my 8 year olds science project on reef keeping.

    HOT skimmers

    the micro-bubbles were a point of concern on the first day but as soon as I revisited the direction I foi=und my problem. I did not have the diffusion plate inserted all the way. Now I get a few here and there but nothing that I consider problematic. I had more problems with the Remora. The...

    HOT skimmers

    I use a Deltec MCE600 hang on. I can say that it is a killer skimmer even though it is 446.00 plus shipping it is worth it. I had a remora pro with a mag three before this one and it was not worth the money IMO. It did not perform anywhere close to the Deltec. Plus teh customer service and...

    Is crystal-clear water bad for our corals?

    I too am on a quest for crystal clear water. I strated using Purigen today in an effort to polish the water. I have placed it in the media chamber of my Deltec skimmer. I have toyed with injecting Ozone after the first of the year through the skimmer and running a high grade carbon (Rowa) in...

    Deltec MCE600

    it is a nice skimmer. If I were going to do an insump skimmer (will after we move) again I would look at Deltecs and Bubble Kings

    Red bug affects on Acroporas

    Yes, Some lessons only experience (albeit a bad one) can really teach. A 10 gallon tank is far cheaper than a total tank wipe out in the long run and less traumatic than watching you corals and fish die

    Red bug affects on Acroporas

    It is eye opening when you see the little red bugs in your tank and think "man I shoud have".... I removed two acro pora frags that were in my tank (a new set uP) because I saw them cramling on them. I admit I panicked a bit and acted first and thought later! The good news is I am setting...

    Deltec MCE600

    I started off the tank with a Remora Pro (mag 3) and the Overflow box. I had read a bunch of great reviews on another board and believed I was making a sound purchase. What I learned after setting this up is to do more research on the method used to produce the air bubles that will provide the...

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    I appreciate the response. I have never been great at adhering to the QT method but after all this talk of the detriment that these mites cause I am going to do it. I have a CSL PC hood with 2 28 watt PC in it. I am going to use this as the light for the QT (left over from my old refugium)...

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    thanks for the advice. My dilemaa is this: I have a Tyree Soli frag in a friends tank who has a Butania that is infested with red bugs. Plan is to get the QT up and get my frag and do the six hour treatment in a QT tank and then rinse the frag in SW before placing it in my system. This wil...

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    Do the bugs that are in the system die if you take the infected acropora out and have no other acropora in the tank? I had an episode recently where I bought a couple frags at teh LFS and noticed two days later that they were infected. I tossed them in the trash! I have no other corals in...

    Custom Tank

    We are going to move next year and I have the basement to myself and want to finish it. My thoughts are for something atleast 30 inches wide. I want to keep it 24 tall because of my height. would glass or acrylic be better? I might want to do it in a tuning fork configuration. Where you can...
