    Question on flow -- Dart closed loop VS. Tunze Streams

It's drilled for a closed loop in 4 places. 2 in the back glass panel and 2 in the bottom in opposite corners in front of tank for returns from pump and the outlet to pump is also in bottom of tank right in the middle...

    Monti eating nudi?

    they lay their eggs on the under side of the monti. caps or at the very base of digis. I soaked mine in very strong solution of lugol's. Didn't even slow them down.

    Monti eating nudi?

    Yes there is a Monti. eating Nudibranch. Very hard to get rid of short of breaking off (fragging) the uninfected areas and throwing the rest of the coral away. Had a run in with them a few months ago. Lost 98% of all my Monti. Caps and Monti. Digitatas. Had Caps as big as dinner plates now have...

    A little reading: Blue Coral Method

    I started back about 3 wks ago. Had stopped due to getting married and home remodeling. Had to let the tank idle for awhile. Made a fresh batch of pappone and back to feeding once a week. Will probably continue this method indefinetly.

    Blue Coral Method. It's a feeding method used for feeding sps/lps corals.

    Hard Lesson Learned the Hard Way

    I had great results with it. Stopped for a while and just started back with it last week. Will feed again tonite. If your tank is fairly new I would hold off for a while and let it mature for a while.

    Asperatic acid would be best, if you can't get it use L glutamine. It works very well.

    Your very welcome;)

    Growth shot

    If your going to do this feeding method start slowly. Once a week at most for say 4-6 weeks then you can start increasing the frequency. I myself have slowed way down due to the fact that the tank is getting way to over grown, no more room. Will start back up again when I get my larger tank up...

    Yep that's it. Thanks for the spelling correction to ben. I knew the way I spelled it just didn't look right:D

    I need to know quick! RTN?

    RTN: RAPID TISSUE NICROSIS STN: SLOW " " The spelling may be wrong. Yes the stn can be stopped. Spread a little super glue over the bad area and on some of the good just above. RTN can take out a whole large colony very quickly. One day it's pretty the next it's a pretty white...

    I need to know quick! RTN?

    Odds are if it was rtn it would be completely white by now. Probably the glue which caused a little stn rather that rtn. Rtn can take a sps out in a matter of a day.

    Major Lighting Upgrade. Need Some Imput

    I would think the AC 14K's would be plenty blue enough. Fragfarmers carries the Aquaconnect bulb. Very cool! I've been looking for what seems forever. Will have to check them out.
