    Taking trip to Upstate NY

    So I'm taking a business trip for like 3 weeks to upstate NY on business. The Glens Falls area to be exact. I was wondering if anyone knows of anything reef related to do in the upstate area. Albany is pretty close too.

    SCWD and Mag 12.

    Mine has slowed down over time but then I'm sure I need to clean it out. I really like the random current. My only complaint with the SQWD is that you can easily overtighten your hose clamps. I cracked my caseing but then fixed it with epoxy. Just and fyi to be gentle with it.

    Does anyone add vinegar to their Kalk

    I have noticed that my clams seem happier and I'm able to keep a 1.5" long maxima clam. Clams that young usually don't survive without some serious supplementation. I'm going to assume that the "food" produced with the vingar kalk mix is helping him along. I fed DT's for about first month I...

    Does anyone add vinegar to their Kalk

    I mix 1 tblsp of kalk to 5 tblsp's of vinegar and dose it into my skimmer every night. I helps to lower the PH of the kalk and for me has kept my calcium and alkaliinity at optimal levels. For me its cheaper than a calcium reactor.

    Coral Disease from Halimeda

    I agree that there are probably many other factors involved. Many times our reef tank environments do not mimic a real reef environment. While I try to control halmedia because it always eventually dies off I think more studies should be done as to its ill affects in a reef tank environment.

    Pocillpora babies

    So does the pocillopora polyp that leaves the mother colony just float around until it finds a place it will be happy with? So they're exact clones of the original? Just like frags? I was just curious. I count at least ten of these new fuzzy's in the tank.

    Clown gobies and sps don't mix well

    I have a citreon goby that seems to bother my sps as well however I'm hoping that there will be a happy medium at some point where the little bugger is happy with the way things are.

    SPS ID help

    I don't know what #5 is but I like it. If you're in the spokane area and ever get a frag of that puppy I have some blue ridge coral at home and would definetly trade for some of #5. Blue ridge is an octocoral and looks waxy or shiny sometimes. Its really unusual because the whole thing is...

    Pocillpora babies

    Okay this is going to sound like a dumb question but how on earth is it possible for my tank to be invaded by pocillpora babies everywhere. I mean I've heard of other people having this same thing happen but I don't understand it. Is it some sort of asexual reproduction? Its certainly nothing...

    wouldnt a true refugium have to be above the tank??

    Thats how I have my refugium. Above my tank. I get a decent amount of pods flowing into the main tank this way.

    Curse that emerald crab!!

    I agree with R/C man. I feed red algae, brown, and green plus formula 1 flake food every day. My emerald crab is well behaved. Of course my peppermint shrimp much prefer flake food to aiptasia. I guess its a trade off. I mean if you weren't hungry would you bother to go after food? It...

    How'd you find us?

    Its all because of Kevinpo. I think it went something like "if you like reefcentral you'll love reeffrontiers". I've been hooked ever since. It gives me a nice diversion from work also :).

    Bad Urchin

    Just thought I would share my frustration. So Tuesday night I woke up to my water alarm (its one of these basement type flood alarms). I found water on the floor and my rock boreing sea urchin (that I've had for like 5 years) attached to the float making it sink instead of float. So I got out...

    My Poor Car

    I work for an insurance company. I would have to say Washington is very relaxed when it comes to our insurance enforcement. In that state of NY you get fined 8 dollars a day for every day the DMV finds that you don't have a vehicle insured. In addition you have to have a scannable bar coded...

    Public Aquarium

    I wonder what other inland northwesterners think about a public aquarium. Seattle has one, Tacoma has one. We seem kinda left out in the greater Spokane area. I wonder if people would come see it. We couldn't seem to support a zoo very well though. But still I think it would be way cool...

    Yellow Clown Goby

    Its good to know that this is pretty much normal for its species. I never have looked at him at night. I think I will try tonight to see if he changes to a more yellow color.

    Yellow Clown Goby

    I purchased a yellow clown goby a few months ago. Its was yellow with vivid blue lines. I noticed it just loves hiding in the acropora and irrated the corals in a few spots. Since introduction its changed color. Its now a very distinct black color with blude lines. Is this normal? I also...

    Carbon Use

    I use it 24/7 to prevent coral wars. I had many problems with one coral thriving and another no looking so good until I started using it. I change it about once a week or once every two weeks. Randy
