    mh 250 too much

    Personally, I don't necessarily agree with this. Our tank swings about 4 degrees between lights off (76) and lights on (80) every day...for the last two years this tank has been up and running. I have no data other than my own personal experience but there are others that agree that small...

    hitchhiking crab

    There are like a jillion (or as quoted "about 42,000...") different crabs, personally if it's not a crab I put in the tank that crab has got to go. I have killed two, each time after noticing the crab (generally gnawing at an SPS colony) I would scan my tank each morning (when the lights are...

    Overwhelmed~Needing Help

    Ashley, first of all I wouldn't say you are that bad off...a "little" algae and some aptasia are easy to take care of with a little work. As it was pointed out you probably have high levels of nitrates or phosphates that is feeding the algae. Water tests are a good idea but you can get it under...

    Red Bug Topic

    Personally I am ashamed to have any association with all of you (meaning SS, HFF, DD911, BCT, Roscoe, etc.) I have realized this board is becoming a lot like high school...like if you are not in the South-End clique you might as well not even bother as these are the 10 to 15 people that dominate...

    Are we doing this right,Or are we way off?????

    1) Water can be purchased at Safeway, or any other store that sells the Glacier Water (Safeway .41¢ per gallon) - this is what I use for water changes (have for the last two years) and it's just fine. I am sure someone will make a comment about this, just remember advice like DonW's is like...

    MH Lighting - Questions about Strange Behavior

    Tried posting this on Reef Central, checking out the scene over there...nothing so far...I would like to get some advice. :) Hi, I suppose this is my first post here but I am not new to the hobby...about 2.5 years in now. So I have 400W MH and am trying to dial in the "prefect light" or better...

    Mistakes #..........how to not set up a Calcium reactor

    This is actually a good bit of advice as I am about ready to set up a reactor for the first time this weekend and the thought of this happening freaks me out a little bit...keep flow all open/pressure low. I have heard that the pressure in some tanks is enough to drive them straight into the...

    best way to treat red slime?

    I've had success with Boyd's Chemi-Clean, I've tried other products and none works like Boyd's...cleaned tank/sand of as much as I could and waited 15/20 minutes. Replaced the filter pad for the overflows (if you use one), turned off skimmer and carbon (if you use, I don't use carbon) and then...

    Have you considered a Roman theme upstairs? I hear columns are making a comeback and would surround the solar tubes nicely. ;)

    Salt query

    We used Tropic Marin for a while and my only complaint was the availability on-line and/or cost locally. We recently switched to Seachem Reef Salt and it is really standing up very well IMO. Also, we buy salt from Live Aquaria...

    That's what I'm hoping as the humane route has not been successful.
