    Tales from the Crypt-ocaryon

    Np.. I used it with a Kole tang a while back. It was a pain in the backsideto be either tearing down a tank, setting up a tank, or mixing water every day for 15-18 days, but it meant no medications or stress on the tang, other than being moved every 3 days.

    Tales from the Crypt-ocaryon

    Shaun, thought about the 3-day transfer method? I don't know if the hypo-tolerant ich variant is a myth, or has been seen outside the lab, but if it really is ich, this would be a safer alternative than copper. http://www.petsforum.com/personal/trevor-jones/3daytransfer.html

    Ick

    If one of your fish has ich, assume the others do (or will). Qt'ing inverts, rock, coral, sand (basically everything _except_ fish) for six weeks and separately qt'ing fish and putting them through 6 weeks of hypo will lead to an ich free tank.

    Nano snails

    Why not get some columbellid snails? (euplica versicolor / pyrene versicolor / "IPSF Strombus Grazer") They're small, reproduce to meet available food, and are great herbivores.

    Epsom salt weight?

    Ahh, wonder if you can drive off the moisture the same way you do baking soda.. then get a good weight.

    Epsom salt weight?

    Well, yes, that's what I was working from.. but from the article.. But.. Just wondering if there's a weight for epsom salts and magflake.

    Epsom salt weight?

    I'm switching over from kalk dosing (not enough evap to dose the required amount of limewater) to RHF's homemade 2-part + Mg. Question I have is that I'm a stickler for measurements, and switching over from weight to volume is irking me. So does anyone know how much 3 cups of epsom salts...

    Feeding My Anenome..

    Bingo.. he started out as a little 5" bubble-y guy about 3 years ago. Once we upgraded to MH lighting, he really started to take off. Eventually it started splitting, and I got either 6 or 7 clones from it over the course of the next year and a half. We eventually sold it and the tomato clowns...

    Feeding My Anenome..

    We stopped intentionally feeding this guy when it got to about 20" across. Yes, it's a BTA, I swear :)

    My poor button polys... help please

    I agree with thekingfish. I've seen it in action. I had a colony in the direct flow from a powerhead, that had long tentacles. I split the colony and moved it to a calmer spot, and eventually the tentacles shortened.

    A Better Salt Study Thread

    Ad Hominem and Appeal to Authority.. Appeal to authority again.. Appeal to ignorance.. Note that the core issue is never addressed.. is 10 tanks with one salt each a large enough sample size to come up with _any_ valid results. No matter how many reams of data collect, or how nice the...

    Can fish over eat?

    We feed as much as the fish can eat in 3-4 minutes.. that works out to about a turkey baster full of slurry- usually one small cube of food and tank water twice daily.

    Suggestions on ich products for a reeftank?

    You really have two choices, or a combination of them both.. 1) kill the ich. This involves getting all the fish out and treating them with hypo / copper for 6 weeks, and letting the tank sit fallow. There is no proven reef safe, yet proven effective in-tank treatment. 2) deal with it. Boost...

    A Better Salt Study Thread

    I agree that the sample was too small.. would it be statistically significant if this study of 10 tanks were repeated ten times? I guess I don't know enough about the proper way to run an experiment, but I do know this one sets off all my warning bells.

    can anyone id this crab?

    Ehn.. look at his claws.. to me, that looks like a herbivore (and yes, I know, most crabs are opportunistic omnivores).. I mean, c'mon, he's packing salad tongs, not a steak knife ;)

    Sexual Halimeda plant???

    I'm holding some livestock for a club member who had almost all of her halimeda die at once, polluting the tank. Not sure if it went sexual, but it had gotten very thick, and it's roots were everywhere.

    Fuge Problems??? :mad:

    My 55g fuge went through the same cycle. I added two MJ 1200 powerheads, and it eventually went away (took about 3 months of siphoning excess out once a week).

    Can someone please tell me what this is?

    Hrmm.. doesn't look like a ball anemone.. they have little 'balls' on the end of long stalks and a small central disc. I have a couple of pink ones like that.
