    It's going to be pretty sweet. I am getting ready to start my plywood tank here in the next month.

    That is why I said I add it to my fuge and no sediment gets into the display. I also said it was just my process and it may not work for everyone :) If you slow drip it in you can have it drip at 2-5 drops per second with no problem to your system. I have seen many experts in the field do far...

    I put sbout 1/2 a teaspoon in a gallon of RO/DI then shake the dog snot out of it and pour it into my sump/fuge. Works great and I have never had a problem. The reason you get sediment is because the water becomes saturated and cannot hold any more causeing the rest to settle out. If you add the...

    I thought about one, but have always heard they are just bulldozers in the tank. I really don't want to have all my corals pushed over and around. I may look further into one.

    I cut back my lighting in the past and the corals didn't like it. I gave them a long time to adjust but they never did well until I returned to my current lighting scheme. I guess I will get a bristle tooth tang and see how it does.

    Yeah I know it is bit much but our local water is very questionable and I don't want to take any chances. I am a little crazy I know.

    They are about 10 days old, I like to replace them about once ever 6 weeks. I know I spend a lot on doing that, but water needs to be clean in my book :) I have 2x400 10K XM's with a IceCap 48 inch VHO Retrofit Kit 4 Lamp unit, and moon lights. The VHO comes on at 8:30 am then the 400's come on...

    What to feed small clam

    I have a gold maxima in a 10 gallon with a 70 watt MH and it is very happy and healthy. It is just about the only thing in the tank but it is very happy.

    Not to sound like I am making excusses but I do have a cleaning crew. Snails, crabs and a sea hair. I had my water tested and phosphates are not an issue, neither are nitrites or nitrates or any of the standards. The water was tested by the Environmental Sciences department at the University...

    Algae Eater

    I do water changes and have a good skimmer and I have never had luck with emerald crabs. They eat good just not what I want them to eat. I use RO/DI water in case anybody was about to ask. I even have a phosban reactor on the system with media changed often. I just want to know if there is a...

    Free snail!!!

    I am not fond of killing either if it can be avoided. Try taking it to a LFS or put it your sump. Most everything will adapt to its home and will eat what is available. That snail would prefer zoa's but if forced I am sure it would feed off things in your sump. No need to kill the little guy...

    What would work on thick patches of algae, you know, the long fuzzy crap (hair algae I think)?

    Algae Eater

    What fish would be best for eating algae? I know lawnmower blennies are good, but they are only good as juvies. What would you all recommend as a great fish for eating hair algae? This is just a general question, I have read many different threads about this and thought I would ask the locals...
