    more lighting for sps....

    Two 250 watt SE reeflux (not my fav.) Just over a year later with 10K XM's.....only a kalk reactor, nothing else.

    BTA's, RBTA's why some split and others don't.

    Wow I missed this last post! That's great and obviously a sign of seasonal splitting. Mine is getting BIG and I wish it would split. It's also a rare BTA IMO, it's neon (I mean NEON green with pink tips). We have had one shipment EVER from a wholesaler with this color BTA. We continue...

    Trachyphillia

    Not sweeper tentacles. They have short tentacles that trap food. If you haven't seen them that's not a great sign. Try using a turkey baster and squirting some food or food juice near the coral after lights out. If you see tentacles out 10-15 minutes later give it some food. If the...

    BTA's, RBTA's why some split and others don't.

    Wow thanks everyone. I can say this, the girl I was talking about does not feed her anemone at all but has a clown that host in it. I asked last time when it split if she had done a water change or if something was off in the tank.....everything was fine??????

    BTA's, RBTA's why some split and others don't.

    I have been wondering about this a LONG time. I work at a LFS and people are constantly bringing in rose bubble tips that have split. One of the owners took one of the clones and it has split 3 times in 6 months. I hear the same story over and over about rose bubble tips. I have NEVER seen...

    Need help finding a post...please.

    No, but that helps a lot........I'm on the wrong site........oops, sorry.

    Need help finding a post...please.

    Hey Anthony I believe it was you who said something about the toxicity of GSP's and it was not too long ago.....I cannot find the thread and someone wants to read about it......I just can't find it. I'm not sure if it was on this site or another? Anyway you mentioned something about it being...

    ro/di question

    Thanks. I test my TDS when I first start the "filter" and when it's near completion. It's always the same, so I guess I'm OK for a while.

    ro/di question

    Well now I have a question. I have read all the "above" posts and have a product I believe to be the exact same as the filter guys with a different sticker. The sticker on mine says dvoneb aqua reverse osmosis water purification system.......5 stage....looks EXACTLY the same. What do you...

    24in Tall tank would 2 250w Mogul MH w/Ice Cap Ballasts work for SPS?

    Here's a picture. 10K bulbs no actinic, I would like to add some actinic in the future.

    24in Tall tank would 2 250w Mogul MH w/Ice Cap Ballasts work for SPS?

    Here's my personal opinion on this. I HAD 1 250 watt MH on my 90 gallon, it did not seem like enough light.....oops I should mention I also had 130 watts of PC. I decided to get rid of the PC and go with 2 250 watt MH and I LOVE it, my corals took off, better color, LPS are fine, all my SPS...

    Rhodactis propagation techniques, what's best?

    Thanks Anthony. I guess getting a mouthful/eyeful of mushrooms juice wouldn't do a whole of good.....and even after reading your story I wouldn't have thought about it, thanks for bringing it up! As for the gloves, great idea, and something I haven't invested in yet. I may just buy a pair of...

    Kalk wasser need to know

    Thanks Don, that would surely be a cheaper route. I posted this on another site.......where I originally started my SW hobby and they seemed to think a kalk reactor would work better? Thanks again.

    Kalk wasser need to know

    Don, I've been looking at getting a kalk reactor. Are you saying the Tunze calcium (whatever they call it) dipenser works just as well? I am going to buy the Tunze auto topoff system for sure, but was just going to buy a seperate kalk "stirrer", if the dispenser works the same I might as well...

    Rhodactis propagation techniques, what's best?

    Hello everyone. I've been reading your (Anthony's) Book of Coral Propagation and am completely addicted! I just got through reading about his (your) experience with "giant palythoa", which has crossed my mind a few times when cleaning tanks with a open wound. Your experience would have sent...

    Ozone use....

    I have thought about using ozone for a long time, for some reason it freaks me out. I've read letting it escape into the tank is BAD and would be continuously worried it was escaping into the tank. I have a EuroReef RS-135 skimmer which says using ozone will hinder its performance (not likely)...

    refugium

    Unless your planning on using LS that has been sitting a bucket of nasty water for a month, or adding uncured LR it should do absolutely nothing negative. I'm assuming your going to be adding sand, maybe some LR, and macro algae? If you do add rock, just make sure it's cured first.

    Nitrate levels and Acro browning.

    That makes perfect sense, thanks. I do run carbon on occasion and I also "check" my water visually compared to newly mixed SW in a glass.....both look identical. Thanks again.

    Nitrate levels and Acro browning.

    Thanks for the response.

    Nitrate levels and Acro browning.

    Skimmer is cranked, thanks. I'm also adding some additional flow to help get rid of dead spots.
