    Anthias behavior

    I am curious as to some anthias behavior that I am experiencing. I have about 12 squamipinnis and about 9 barlett anthias. The lyretail started as 12 females and one male. 2 females died eventually and then the male was assassinated. I say assassinated as he was doing quite well and was found...

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    OK, so I went back and read the entire thing. That is the last time I jump into a thread at page 14 without reading from the begining LOL...........................

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    I did not start following the thread fromt he begining and may be why I did not know about the pictures. I will go back and check it out. What I did do was to treat the tank. Then, 6 hours later I did like a 150g (1000g system) water change and added carbon as well as starting the skimmer...

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    Mike: Maybe I missed this, but how much time was there between your first and second treatment? You should have spaced the treatments by about a week at least, otherwise I don't think your second treatment was any more effective than just doing the first one. There is no question this stuff...

    My Latest Rabbitfish Addition

    Live foods is a good place to start. I would add some cyclopeeze to the brine shrimp and let it sit with it for a good 10-15 min. It will gut load them and make them pretty nutricious. You could also try some fresh water glass shrimps and gut load them the same way. That is what I feed my 2...

    Alternative Reactor Media

    You know, I don't even remember the guy who made it. I know Edward probably knows as the guy is local to him and has built several thigns for him. You don't mount it to the reactor, but rather to the sump. You connect your effluent line to the side port on the top, the effluent runs through the...

    Alternative Reactor Media

    Actually, unless I've missed something, all the GEO reactors are that way. They take the water from above and discharge from below. It is the most efficient method I think because it tends to re-use any gas that may accumulate at the top. Plus, the water tends to flow better that having to flow...

    MOTM July 2005

    Actually, most are and they are not getting fragged for another 1-2 years, which means they will all be dime a dozen by then :eek: :eek: When I was planning for this tank, I wanted to hand pick and meticulously select specimens for it. I mean, I already had a tank full of corals, so I know...

    MOTM July 2005

    WOAH! Thank you all so much for the honor. It truly is an honor ;) I don't think I do anything different than the people I learned a lot from. They are the ones that humble me every day. I am just glad I can pass on to others what has been passed to me. I do apologize for the lack of really...

    Temperature hitting 81 degrees on my aquarium

    I run my tank at 81-82 degrees all year. However, you might want to alter the time your photoperiod comes on and off. Not only reduce the totla length of it by a couple of hours during the summer, but if you run it starting later in the afternoon when it is coling off outside it will save you...

    Did you buy the prone x-10 modles? The cheapest I could find was like $16 each!

    Neptune Controller Questions

    Nikki: Deviant minds must think alike as I have been seriously looking into these things lately. I came home one day and my chiller was completely off. The power cable came off the breaker and it cut the power. The temp was 87 degrees. I realized that day I wished I had something that would...

    Alternative Reactor Media

    Well, let me throw my 2 cents. First of, regardless of what the manufacturer say, all media release PO4. Some release a ton and some release less, but they all do. Over time, I have used just about everything in the market except for the rowa stuff (I refuse to buy a reactor that locks me into...

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    I've also had similar experiences with the recovery of the corals. After treatment, they all seemed to perk up quite rapidly getting color back and good polyp extension.

    Red Bugs - Inevitable?

    The red bugs, the invisible (clear) acro eating flatworms, and the monti eating nudibranchs are probably the most spread around coral predators we have seen in the hobby since the begining. It is the equivalent of syphylis and tuberculosis in Haiti. It is not a matter of whether you will get...

    Just stunning. Your club should put a bid for MACNA so the rest of us have a strong enough excuse to make it there. As if the tank wasn't enough LOL.....................
