    Have any Seattle are reefers ever put critters from the sound in their tanks?

    I know... kind of a weird and possibly controversial topic. I have a red coris wrasse and to prevent him from eating my very cool cleaner shrimp, I figured I would just provide him with some local fare. I went down to the beach and found some small clams, very small hermits, very small crabs...

    Rods-Food Review Two Thumbs Up

    This has finally made it to my LFS. Are those of you who started using this back in June still using it? I actually went down to the beach yesterday and grabbed a few clams, some very small hermits, very small snails, and an oyster to feed my red coris wrasse.

    BEST Way to Remove Phosphates

    I just tested my RO/DI water and the PO4 was undetectable. Also my tank has went from 1mg/l of PO4 to .3mg/l in 2 days. I'm pretty sure the source of my phosphates is an ever aging DSB (probably 6 years old). I did a pretty heavy cleaning of it and I'm fairly sure it released phosphates into...

    BEST Way to Remove Phosphates

    I just purchased a phosphate reactor. I use RO/DO water and skim heavily, but I still had (according to the test kit anyway) 1 mg/l of PO4. I do use flake food and don't rinse my frozen food. I could tell my SPS was not happy. I read an article in Coral (Jan '07 I believe - the one with...

    Hydor Koralia powerheads

    I just put a 2 in my nano... I'm impressed! I have it skimming the surface, but with the bi-directional flow, I'm getting good movement throughout the tank. I'm thinking about pulling the crappy MJ1200's (crappy because of the mounts, not the pump) out of my 80 and throwing in some koralia 3's.

    Hard Lesson Learned the Hard Way

    I don't want to take this off topic... but what exactly is BCM. I've always wanted a monti and was even thinking about heading to the Shark Reef to get one this weekend. BTW, sorry to hear about your loss... what a bummer.

    vho or mh

    There's always the LED's... very expensive, but you won't have to buy a chiller. The other option is to get the VHO's now and then get the LED's 2-3 years from now when the price becomes reasonable (I hope)

    A quick responce about PetHole©(name changed to protect the innocent. ;) )

    It's great that you have went above and beyond company policy. I believe that most people want to do a good job. You've taken measures to inform yourself, but most employees have to rely on the company policy because they don't have the time, interest, or money to learn about reefkeeping...

    Upgrading lighting

    I just purchased one of those cheap "hombby" fixtures from fleabay for my 20H. It has to actinic 65W PC's and one HQI 250W MH. I heard different opinions about quality and such, but the ballast is electronic and the price is right... $179 shipped for 24"

    Any LFS in Redmond area?

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I am heading over to Microsoft tomorrow to playtest the Xbox 360. I rarely get over that way, so I figured I would head over there early to check out some LFS's. Anyone have any suggestions? The only SW LFS I have ever been to is The Shark Reef. They are a...

    Shark Reef LR

    Check for hitchikers before going too crazy. I have bought about 40-50 lbs of Shark Reef's Jakarta rock and I got 1 mantis, and 4 "rock" crabs. They were a pain to remove and they killed a few of my inhabitants.
