    # 1 Rule for Stony Coral-Besides Basics

    I agree guys-complex, machine-powered dosing is prob another good option- Just dont expect hand dosing to get you anywhere-a constant drip seems to be key...

    # 1 Rule for Stony Coral-Besides Basics

    Calcium Reactor - why - Steady drip of balanced goodness. Forget trying to dose only I was trying to run a heavy SPS stocked tank by dosing only for years. LOL! Not an option- I tryed different regiments-Only thing that worked was back and forth with calcium+ and alk powders about 10 times a...

    Live or Let Die? Fast growing sponge

    A zoanthid rock in my tank has sprouted a mustard green, spider web paterned, sponge(?). Im a little intimidated honestly, cause it looks like one of spidermans enimies.The sponge is growing fast and I am considering let it continue its march across the bare bottom glass. Is it good or bad for...

    ***Killer Worm***

    I caught this !@#%! swimming around the tank like a sea snake. He got caught in some dendros and I was able to suck him out fast. I recognized his face...saw him take several large bites out of my hokesema acro (it had some food stuck to it). Looks to be 7 or 8 inches. Anyone know what it is or...

    Blue Tort/Green pigmentation

    cali-tort grows way faster, and shows green in many tanks, and has a much taller staghorn growth, compared to the dense, smooth cluster growth of Oregon tort. They arent really that simmilar.

    is my setosa dying?

    That happened to my setosa recently also. I moved it to lower light, but think it might have been eaten by nudibrachts-the kind that prefer and hang out on zoanthids, but that will also munch a little monti for desert. It was mostly munched from the tips, but some on lower areas as well????

    what happened to the A.hoeksemai?

    Remember in 2004 the A.hoeksemai were coming in thru bali aquaculture or something? It seems like there was a good stock of these to start, but I havent seen anything but frags since then??? Did the aquaculture program loose their stock? Im glad I snagged a piece when it was available, cause its...

    Impulse Elos 120XL - Custom Stand

    Thanks for looking everyone! My light is fixed for now-and higher than normal while I acclimate new fish and fiddle with rocks. I would like an adjustable light, but budget concerns, and design ideas need to get worked out.-future project. Sand always looks better-but due to maintenance-I will...

    Elos 160XL set up

    Are you going to add skin to the stand, or leave it open? One design I really want to see from someone with a remote sump(not under tank) is a floating elos tank. I'm thinking three or four little steel t bars or beams sticking out of the wall with an elos tank just "floating" there defying...

    Impulse Elos 120XL - Custom Stand

    Doors are in!-3 are mounted, but I think I'm going to reverse the frosted side. Right now they are mounted glossy side out which is the common way to show frosted glass. If mounted frosted side out, they have a more raw, matte finish that is harder to see through. I love the look of the side...

    Elos 160XL set up

    Did u figure out the lighting situation yet? I remember you were thinking about the icecap Reef Illumination fixture. I can tell you a couple things about it. 1)--The halides are spaced far apart, so it easily lights a five foot length, however the width is not lit as efectively. There are pros...

    Impulse Elos 120XL - Custom Stand

    The tank lacks movement with all the hard corals. What corals sway in the flow but don't slime the water too much. I would go torch, but don't euphillia foul the water somewhat?

    Impulse Elos 120XL - Custom Stand

    The segmented bare bottom is certainly a design issue that I havent figured out yet. I love the look of a sandbed, but cant deal with the mess. Right now my plan is to grow zoanthids and crusting monties and such on the floor to cover the silicone mess?

    Impulse Elos 120XL - Custom Stand

    I have two doors on now-the other 2 will prob. be here tomarrow! I was thinking of getting art glass doors, but they were too expensive. I went with acid etched/frosted. Probably should have done back painted glass. It looks frosted, but much harder to see thru.
