    Heaters - Need Help ASAP

    Ok thanks... I've put in a call to the one and only saltwater store within 100 miles. They are checking on prices but it will most likely be Thursday before they can get one. That, still, is quicker than online. I'll just keep the lights running. It helps keep the water up. My Odyssea does have...

    Heaters - Need Help ASAP

    No Ed, you are mistaken. The heater in the tank is an 800 watt. It is dead. We need a new one. I have been looking on internet and am seeing that our tank doesn't need one with that much wattage. I think a 400-500 will do for our tank. We must order one immediately. We have no heat going to the...

    Heaters - Need Help ASAP

    The temp in our house stays at 70 degrees. I guess I should keep the lights on all night but that's going to be disastrous as far as algae goes but hey, I'd rather not lose my fish. We have an expensive Odyssea titanium heater and it's just been crap since we got it. Any recommendations on brand...

    Heaters - Need Help ASAP

    Our heater went out on our 120 gallon tank. AAAHH!!! I need one ASAP. We have an 800 watt but from what I'm reading our 120 gallon tank does not need one that high? What does everyone think?? Amber

    Nitrate help

    we got that powder blue tang for $45 (that size) at a local LFS.... it had been in a 20-30 gallon tank for months, so we bought it knowing we were going to have the 120. thanks for the concern!! i hate to see so many fish and such big fish in little tanks!!

    Nitrate help

    definitely... we had that intention from the beginning. absolutely no nitrate problems in the 120 so i'm thinking the crushed coral in the 46 has a lot to do with it. we are using DSB in the 120.

    xenia fading away

    Everyone, here is a piece of xenia that is disappearing.... thought I'd show a picture. And BTW, that red mushroom was not there when it started to die. The red mushroom jumped ship and decided it wanted a new location yesterday.

    xenia fading away

    I already dose iodine!! Once a week... how often should I dose? As for the temperature, will lowering it 2-3 degrees affect any of my other corals?

    xenia fading away

    Interesting and beautiful tank by the way. It looks like 2 different tanks? Did you just rearrange from the 1st pic to the 2nd? We use tap water (shock, shock) because all of our parameters (with the exception of a slightly elevated nitrate level) have ALWAYS been good. We have very little...

    xenia fading away

    Ok here is a picture that was taken Sept. 19th. As you can see there are 4 xenia frags in this picture... all spread out. Number 2 split and a piece of it fell onto the sand and is now in location number 5 (where you see nothing). Numbers 4 & 5 are living and doing well. The other 3 just...

    xenia fading away

    Xenia is supposed to be so hardy and I had about 5 good stalks of it and now I'm down to 2. All of a sudden, the stalks just shriveled up and it looks like the heads have fallen off of them and they died. They were fine for so long. What could make them do this all of the sudden? All water...

    Gold-striped maroons - Question!!

    Thanks for the awesome explanation!! From your info, I can now say that I have a young GSM - maybe 8-12 months as you stated above. I cannot see any gold on the second & third stripe yet and am just beginning to see it on the first stripe, although very faint!! It is a misbarred clown with...

    Gold-striped maroons - Question!!

    Can someone tell me how the gold-striped maroons develop their gold stripes? Are their stripes barely gold when they are young and then get bolder as they get older or vice versa?
