    Need a favor - borrow lights?

    besides fish, tank has ricordia, deresa clam, frogspawn, lots of mushrooms (variety) and button polyps (variety), rose bubble anemone, pineapple brain - probably a couple I'm forgetting. My concern is the length of time its probably going to take to ship it out, get it fixed, and get it back. :-(

    Need a favor - borrow lights?

    Well, as the title says, I'm gonna ask for help here :) I have a CurrentUSA Sundial T5HO that has decided to quit functioning correctly. Current is going to take care of it under warranty, but requires me to mail it to them for service. In the meantime, that means that my livestock are without...

    pineapple brain discoloration - dying?

    I will have to find someone to test the mag...or go get a test for it. I've been using Kalk +2 (with mag and strontium) for my ATO, and i've never had to supplement calcium...never checked mag. The placement is getting good flow as you mentioned...but not blasted, same place its been for months...

    pineapple brain discoloration - dying?

    I have 4 x 48" t5s 10k and 2x 48" t12 actinics over the aquarium....no changes in that department in months. Bulbs are about 5 months old. I don't really have any other corals near it, and haven't moved it. What kind of pests might I look for? Thanks.

    pineapple brain discoloration - dying?

    The only fish Chang has been a new blue hippo tang, and I've never seen any fish near eating it. It isn't in really high flow, but the same place its been for months. The only other change was to a finer sand a couple months ago. Someone told me that the finer sand can irritate it if its sitting...

    pineapple brain discoloration - dying?

    I have this pineapple brain that I have had for about 8 months. It has always looked beautiful. Recently, I noticed a discoloration around the bottom edge of the rock formation. In the last 2 weeks, it seems to have spread. (pics linked below - one in full light, one in actinic only). I have no...

    how should I go about moving my tank

    Why not just leave the sand bed in the 10gal tank with the bottom inch or 2 of water? Is there some reason to remove it?

    how should I go about moving my tank

    Carefully!...J/K Seriously though, with that small volume, you can probably just transfer everything from BOTH into a large cooler (with lid), add heater and circulation if you want to run it from your power inverter, and put it back together when you get there. That being said, I would make...

    Coldwater / Temperate Reef Keeper here :D

    I saw the "tide pool" setup they have at the Pacific Science center in Seattle this week. VERY cool stuff. Would love to do something like that if I had the room/time.

    wow! That's great. My wife and I were recently at Seaside admiring the MASSIVE starfish and large anemones in the tide pools there. Very cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.

    Help setting up Kent Marine Nautilus Turbo Eductor

    If you're still looking at new skimmers, I'd also recommend the Reef Octopus XP1000SSS. Fits easily in my skimmer and rocks!

    Ro/Di Setup

    Well, for the mixing part, I use a submersible pump (can't remember what brand off hand...i'm at work) and a few feet of vinyl tubing connected and dropped in the bottom of the trash can along with a couple of heaters so I can have a water change ready to go quickly. The tubing wraps in a circle...

    building a bubble trap quickly

    Is it fish-safe that quickly? I don't need something to be completely water-tight or hold a lot of pressure....just baffles

    building a bubble trap quickly

    Any other suggestions for something to put these in that dries quickly and safely? I really don't want to have it down long enough to drain and silicone them in :(
