    crabs and treating red bug

    lol, OMG 12 times. Most of my hermits are 3/4" to 1" plus so I guess Ill give it a shot and monitor nitrates. Do you all dip your stuff in a small amount of this stuff when you get them? I know the guys at barrier said that they do. Drew This is the only reason I can figure out why I am...

    crabs and treating red bug

    OK so I need to treat for red bug. I have a small 3gal I can set up to save 10 or so crabs but here is my question. If I take some rock out of my sump to set up the quarentine tank, do risk some red bugs on that rock? I guess I could just not put it back in the tank. I would not want to...

    Shell Deterioration

    I am horrible at taking photos but here is what I got. top pic, can see mantle is normal, you can see a little of the deterioration on the left side. pic with flash to see if I could clear up the side pretty blurry but the best I could get. I could swear I was looking at the shell a couple...

    Shell Deterioration

    I need to take a picture but I have a normal Crocecea (sp) in a 45gal, 250w MH over it. The mantle looks fine, but the shell looks almost "burnt" and torn up closer to the edge. All parameters are great, I have SPS that are doing fine. Never seen this. Sound like anything to worry about?

    Birdsnest prob.

    Thanks Kevin, you think I should move it out of the middle for a bit? Or damage is done, might as well let it aclimate on its own time?

    Birdsnest prob.

    Also do you think I should move it to a lower area of light. There isnt many in a 3' tank with a mini luminarc. but maybe it should not be in the highest part. I just remembered seeing you tell someone that these were some of the most light needing sps. I also have a purple slimer, right...

    Birdsnest prob.

    The intesity it pretty drastic IMO, he had 12k, I have 14k, but his was int he back of a 120, mines is directly under the light in a 45. Its been about 5 weeks or so. Didnt realize it would take a couple months. Then I guess im not worried. What would cause the alage? its only on that...

    Birdsnest prob.

    I have the 250w 14k, as well as 2 - 24w, and 2 65w atinics. I was wondering if it is a little "burned" as well. The guy I got it form had it in the back of his tank and looked like it needed more light, although the polyps were extended. I know birdsnest need high light though. But the ORA...

    Birdsnest prob.

    Frog spwan is in a sort of "cave" area. In the 45g I got 450gph out of the sump, a Koralia 2 (600 gph), and a modded 1250, (1000gph or so). Boat load of flow, 50x or so +. Almost too much for the lps in the tank. And its right in line with the 1250. Tis why I am in a quandry.

    Birdsnest prob.

    OK so I have a pile of frags. This particular one has never really polyped out. Now it has a brownish alage growing on the top left tip. I am wondering most on placement. It is literally the clost of any to a 250w 14k se MH. The MH is about 10" above the water in a mini stealth. I have a...

    flow design for a chiller addition

    OK I got a 45 acryllic with a corner over flow. Right now with a 3 section sump/fuge I have an eheim 1250 on it and have about 200gph give or take. Works pretty well. Now I need to add a chiller to the outfit. Most 1/10 chillers need 400+ gph flow. If I just change the size of the return...

    Hood Configuration

    Thanks for the thoughts. I hadnt thought of led's for actinics, that could be great. Any suggestions on where to find small "pods" of them? Or, I was looking for 12" t-5's and couldnt find any. I am using the CF's because I have them. What do ya'll think about how close the MH will be to...

    Hood Configuration

    Yea, I figured I would block the actinics with the luminarc. I dont think I would get any shadow from the actinics. Not sure if 100 watts of atinic is worth worrying about.

    Hood Configuration

    I know this is a double post but I need some quick opinions. Its under SPS as well. OK here is my delmela. I have a 45 gal sps / mixed reef. 36"(L)x15"(w)x20"(h) . my 150w mh just went bad, ballast, and probably ruined my bulb as well. So the tank is lit but a little dim as I hope the...
