I hear you. I don't feel like replacing all those beautiful fish just to watch them die in february. Who knows, I may lose the rest before we get power back. FML.

Very bad luck with the power outage. I have lost some of my favorite fish and some corals are dead. It's cold in the house but I have a generator which helps. RIP: regal angel Powder Blue Tang copperband BF foxface Cleaner shrimp MIA: gramma blood shrimp Still hanging on: Majestic angel...

That's good news. I thought you lost it for some reason! How's it doing? Let's wait until I get my parameters stable for a few weeks if it is big enough to frag. You're carrying the Kedd's torch for now! Don't drop it! (And make sure you tie your Keds).

Is that the solid alcohol (carbon dosing) stuff? I'm already dosing vodka-sugar-vinegar. Isn't that the same? Are you having luck with the biopellets? The thing that makes me nuts is I had it all going so well at one point. Maybe the nutrients from all that PE Mysis have built up in the system...

I was away for 10 days on a trip. The caretaker (my wife) did a pretty good job and most of the coral looks good. I lost my last piece of the Kedd's Table though. That's the end of that. I'm trying to get phosphates under control and failing. There's some cyano and hair algae is growing where...

You will be grateful at some point if you by a ShopVac or other wet/dry vac soon.

It's a Glasscages stand. I had to put the finish onit myself.

...And the first of the NEW ballasts has blown! You called it correctly, it's dead as a doorknob! The were very nice at Marine Depot but I did have to buy a new ballast in order to have one sent out "in advance" of their receiving the old ballast. Then they will refund me when they get the...

Hi Sandee, like Jeff Curry said, welcome to the neighborhood! I'm in Rockaway Township (WML) just outside of Denville across Rt 513. If you need to borrow a cup of Tropic Marin or anything else fish-related, just contact me. (nine seven three - five eight sax -ate seven one too.)

I think every fiasco is going to happen to me this year. Last week's big problem: BOTH float switches stuck, top-up system put 15-20G of RO water into the tank. I'm just lucky I have it set up to only go on in intervals, or else everything would be dead now. I was filling the RO reservoir that...

New ballast is 2-3x brighter than the 2nd hand one I borrowed. D'OH! no wonder the coral on that half of the tank is suffering. Wow it's bright. Nice design too, smaller, lighter, runs much cooler.

I was shocked to look at pictures I posted in Feb. and how much better everything looked. I need to get back on the horse! My new electronic ballasts came yesterday. They are dimmable and can run either 250W or 400W bulbs. I need to give you back your ballast you lent me Bax, I do appreciate it!
