    Caulerpa serrulata take it or leave it

    I had to remove the live rock that was affected since it was pretty heavy duty stuff. I unfortunately had to get a steel scrub brush and remove it all and let it sit in fresh water. This happened to about 10 pounds of live rock. So after about a few weeks of fresh water, I put it back into...

    Hangging a light fixture

    Mine are rated for 50 pounds eventhough my sunpod weighs less than 10. I used some folding brackets. Drill the pilot hole, squeese the the brackets into place. The brackets will expand and then I have the screws that put them into place. My current sunpod came with mounting brackets but you...

    Underwater Nightlights hopefully actinic 03

    I am looking for a submersable actinic 03 lighting system for my 29 nano tank since I have no room to put them on my hanging MH lighting Current Sunpod. I would love to have it placed in the rear of my tank by suction cups to keep them in place. Is there something out there that wont cost an...

    MH bulb lighting help..please

    Thats cool to hear BLK!!! I am sure that the no name brands are actually name brands but not printed on the bulbs its self. I have a few halides that I no longer use that are name brand but have no name on them.

    Green Slimer Problem

    I test using a refractometer that is calibrated by ro/di water. So it is pretty accurate.

    What kind of coral is this?

    Mine seems to love to eat, thats for sure. Just turn the pumps off and then squeese a some oyster eggs, baby brine and zooplankton. Then they will flower, then I will offer the sun corals some Mysis Shrimp and larger brine and they will eat em up. As for the Mystery Coral, I use much smaller...

    Green Slimer Problem

    I just tested my tank and my parimeters are around Calcium 460-480 DKH 9-10 Magnesium is around 1400 Phosphates are at 0 to .01 ( I have 3 tests and each one gives me a different reading but the average is 0 to .01)

    What kind of coral is this?

    Any Idea on how or where I should put this coral at or leave it there? It is a nice center piece. Like I said, it only eats at night. The polyps only extend when moon lights are on. They usually come out about 30 to 45 minutes after the MH lighting turns off. TNS

    What kind of coral is this?

    Ok, I bought this coral about 2 months ago and the guys at the LFS had a very difficult time trying to figure out exactly what it is and what to charge me. Regardless I got it for around 35.00 USD. They said it was an Asterapora? My memory is horrible!!! The polyps do not come out during the...

    To add on to my post, the Ushio 250HQI 20K are looking very nice but I would like to get supplemental lighting such as some actinic 03. Now I have to find a place to put them at!!!

    Green Slimer Problem

    Ok, that seems quite logical. I can take a water sample to my local Fish Store and have them do a complete test to ensure that my test chemistry is accurate. Also it will allow me to see how they use different test kits. Ill bring in my test kits and we can compare results. I have a Red Sea...

    Green Slimer Problem

    So the more magnesium I add, the more the calcium will drop? I just want to make sure. If this is so, This will allow me to contol the calcium level in my tank. I just want to see how these things work.!

    MH bulb lighting help..please

    Here is how I started out in the 2 1/2 years of using different bulbs, all of which are 250 watt HQI (Doouble Ended) Current (14K came with my sunpod) Changed it right away with a Guiesman 15k (I think) I returned it because it was waaay to yellow for me. I exchanged it for a: Phoenix 14K and...

    Green Slimer Problem

    Sounds like a good idea and will try it out and see what happens. Normally, Ill drain a gallon and then replace it, then drain at a different location and then add again. Also I put my phosphate reactor out line in an area where there isnt much water flow. What are your thoughts on that?

    Green Slimer Problem

    Why do I do such small water changes? I Thought that 2 gallons weekly would be good enough and keep the tank from going into shock. I run Chemipure elite in my reactor and Chemipure in my final chamber. I also have a bicube filter with activated carbon in it that I change about once a month.

    Green Slimer Problem

    I noticed changes for the better since the change of my lighting from a year old 250Watt Sunpod 20K SPS HQI to a 20K USHIO HQI and moving the lighting to 10 inches above my waterline. Also moving the corals to a new location along with adding a new phosphate reactor using Boyd Chemi Pure Elite...
