    My skimmer is going crazy.

    My Skimmer has gone crazy when ever I have had to add a lot of freshwater at one time. I am not sure if its the freshwater itself or if I kick up junk from my sump. Maybe the same thing is going on for you? My Auto top off hasn't been working properly so every once in a while I add 4-5 gallons...

    Has anyone put dead rock into their display?

    Just to be safe you could do a small water change and sit the dead rock in the old water with a pump for a week or two but if you are only adding less then 5lbs it really shouldn't be an issue.

    Acro flaking why?

    This may be something you already looked into, but have you made sure that no power-heads are blowing directly onto the ACRO? I had this happen once when a Korelia was blowing directly onto a sps and it started to bleach, after I moved the power-head the coral grew back just fine.

    My tank crashed today, Help

    I actually have a couple of SPS that are coming back. I did lose about 75% of them but I am hoping that the ones that remained are stronger and more resiliant which will be good if I ever get to frag them. All my Xenia is gone ( I actually don't mind since they like to take over everything) The...

    Zenia melting????????

    Last week all my xenia melted, I narrowed it down to a short circuiting pump in my tank. In my case i also lost a bunch of sps. I would double check and make sure this is not happening to you also.

    My tank crashed today, Help

    I didn't think about the copper factor I will look into that. I did change about 50gals in total over 2 days. I just couldn't believe a jet that I had for only 2 months could have failed like that. The fish are fine and my corals are opening up again.

    My tank crashed today, Help

    For anyone who is still wondering what happened and hopefully to help some other reefkeepers out there I am 90% sure of what happened. I had a marineland MJ1200 that was sputtering in my tank I pulled it out cleaned it and then decided to test it to see if it was in fact the problem. I put it...

    My tank crashed today, Help

    I FOUND THE CUKE! It’s still alive and fatter than ever! As of this morning nothing more has died off so now I hope to nurse back to health what is left. And I will now be starting a strict testing regimen. The first picture is kinda crappy but that is what it looked like a week ago. And the...

    My tank crashed today, Help

    The only reason I decided to dose the Alk (soda Ash)in the first place was because my ph was always low. Even with normal water changes. I didn't want to add to much to the system so that my PH would shoot the other direction and get too high. Obviously that didn't work like I had planned. And...

    My tank crashed today, Help

    I did notice an in tank pump that kept sputtering yesterday I kept checking it and adjusting it I didn't think about it possibly shorting out since I just got it a couple months ago. I have now pulled that pump out.

    My tank crashed today, Help

    I tested the water for a couple weeks before I started dosing, I am sure that I am actually not putting enough KH=PH in because I didn't want my lvls to get too high. My Mag is at 1000 which is a little low but not by much. I tried to make sure I didn't get any board in my tank but I noticed a...

    My tank crashed today, Help

    My aquarium has pretty much been on cruise control for the last 2 years. Everything was growing like crazy and my clown fish have spawned 4 times in the last 2 months. I actually was in the process of adding a 20 gal frag tank to deal with the overgrown coral "problem". Today I came home and...

    PSAS Sponsor/Discount list

    So update I talked to Andy who is the owner and he stated that they will still offer the 10% for PSAS card holders. I do know that when there is a sale they will not give both the sale price and the discount but otherwise they do still give out the 10% discount. Steve

    PSAS Sponsor/Discount list

    I know this is an old thread but I noticed that saltwater city in Bellevue is no longer on the list, Are they no longer a sponsor? If this is the case then this page should be updated.

    Blue Velvet Nudibranchs

    I uped the flow and added a light, then added a Blue Velvet nudi. My nudi disappeared along with my flat worms after a week, and I never had a problem after that.

    Reef Club Meetings?

    Most of the PSAS meetings are in the Tacoma/ Federal Way area so they would probably be the closest club for you. LOL most of the North Sound Reefers are either current or former PSAS members that live too far north to travel south all the time.
