    Fish and corals do not mix

    Scooter brother I have to agree by learning the hard way. Jerry

    Calcium questions

    Thanks Rob I want to get the Aqua Med quad so I can set it up. The problem I am coming across with these saltwater setups is space. When I purchased my 175 I also got the factory stand because there are not a lot of aftermarket bow front stands out there. I also at that time got the Oceanic type...

    Friggin Nitrates

    Ok here goes, 54 coner with overflow into a All-Glass Brand type 1 sump. I do not use any type of filter media except for the water flows over Bio Balls into the refergium which is filled with 2" sand and some live rock and chetamorpha(SP?). I do how ever use the foam filter between the...

    My new room for my 175

    BTW that must be a myth about the pound to pound and three guarter per gallon. I have about 130 pounds in there and can't really fit very much more without losing swim room. Jerry

    My new room for my 175

    Thanks Rob. I wanted to drill the back to install the returns but was scared I would crack it. It says right on the label. "Tempered glass do not drill". I couldn't even get a local shop toi touch it. Jerry

    Oceanic 54 corner with over flow. How do you suggest cleaning it? I guess that would be true for the sump them also? Jerry

    Friggin Nitrates

    I've tried everything under the sun but no luck. Water changes solved it momentarily and after a week right back. I only feed once a day in the morning and I do not overfeed then. I do have a refergium with plants and cleaning crews and a skimmer. Nitrites are zero and PH is between 8.0 and 8.4...

    Calcium questions

    When I first started out in the saltwater side of the hobby I didn't do enough research and because of that a lot of innocent beautiful sea creatures are no longer with use. One of the biggest lessons learned was "CALCIUM" in a reef tank is a most and second boy did I flush a lot of money down...

    Tang question

    I've had both and had to get rid of my Yellow because it was a big bully to everyone in the tank. That's just my opinion. Jerry

    Zoo Snatcher

    In my 54 corner I have a Pasor angel, Fox Face, 2 Clowns, Scooter and Red lipped Blenny, Imperial(?) Dottyback, Firefish, Mated pair of Banded Coral Shrimp and a Regal Tang. I just got a bunch of new Zoo frags attached to plugs that I stuck in holes and rocks and every one of them is now at the...

    Blenny?

    Blenny's are so cool!! My Scooter was one of the first in my system and has done just fine. I put some well established rock in the tank also before adding fish. A Bi-Color or Red Lipped Blenny would be good ones also. My Red Lipped actually will bite my finger when I put it in the water. Just...

    purple up

    So If I understand this correctly, If you put in one rock that is seeded already into your tank it should then spread faster if you use the Purple up? Thanks Jerry

    2007 tank photo's

    That is a killer set up. A lot like what I want to do with my 175. Great job bro. Jerry

    My new room for my 175

    Well I got my rock yesterday from Marco Rocks (Shamless Plug) and I must say I am very happy with what I got. I weighed the live verses his and I am so glad I went his way. My skimmer is working over time this morning. I should have read a little more on his site (I'm such a rookie) about...

    Do you know why it does that? I do have a micro bubble problem. Jerry

    Hello Everyone

    Pretty limited here. Only a handful of reefers around. I do most of my buisness via the enternet. The local pet store owner does reef systems so he gets a fair amount of stuff in. There is a lady 80 miles south of me in the middle of no where that has a live coral shop. Nice stuff but pricey. I...
