    Anemone Id

    Can someone help me Id this anemone? and possibly help get rid of it? Here is another specimen: I have tons of them. Some in the overflow, a couple in the fuge and whole bunch of them in the sump. In the sump they are pretty much everywhere, on the skimmer, on the side wall, wires, pipes...

    Another accident story

    I have a limited tort of $15K. If it exceeds that amount, my medical insurance will take care of the rest. If I miss work, I will get paid $100 per week. PER WEEK! I want to tell them I need that much just to keep my fish tank running! I am not into litigation either. Actually I can't sue...

    Another accident story

    Glad she is gotten better. Didn't you have to pay the deductible for the medical expenses? I was told that I have to pay the deductible and the deductible gets adjusted with the overall yearly deductible for medical insurance that I have through my company. No idea how this is all will work...

    Fish room

    +1. When I did my fish room, I made a stand and put the sump inside the stand and fuge on top of the stand. It looked neat. But what I didn't realize was that most maintenance activities happen right out of the sump - vacuuming debris, cleaning the sock, cleaning the skimmer, water sample for...

    Water Temperature Issue.......

    One of the things you want to make sure is that the temperature swing is not too drastic. In your situation, I would suggest try to maintain it between 82-84. Don't try to bring it down to 78 until the summer is passed. As others have mentioned, a simple fan brings down the temperature by...

    How to remove RBTA from live rock?

    I have used the powerhead method few times. It worked every time and the anemone comes off within few seconds. To me, it is much safer than a screwdriver.

    It is time for me to replace the Mag test kit. I currently use Salifert, not very impressed with their rigid instructions. Does anyone have experience with any other brand? Any recommendations? Besides testing for the usual Alk, Mag, Ca, Nitrates & Ammonia, what else do you all test? Like...

    Dosing alk with doser

    I got it brand new from a guy in MR since he wasn't planning to use it. I believe I paid like $350 at that time. I know they are expensive but they worked very well for me. You calibrate it once and never have to tinker with it.

    Manifold water pressure

    No problem Ritchie, I can understand the Saturday can be hectic especially on a meeting day. I get it now. I understand that by throttling both ends, the water can be forced to the openings in between. I am going to try that tomorrow.
