    Branching GSP

    Yea mine does too. Here is a stalk that grew off off mine, then reattached to the back glass. I have all kinds of corals, but the green star polyp among my favorite.

    Anyone here into cars?

    [QUOTE I also considered the GTI. The focus is good enough thought. It’s just right for the around town driving. Im averaging about 4,000 miles a year. It really doesn’t get to stretch its legs out much.

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    I used Shop-rite brand pure ammonia as well. I wouldn’t worry about testing anything but ammonia and nitrite for now. Once the cycle is complete the other parameters should fall in range. If not, a simple water change will help bring it them line. I didn’t even have do a water change though.

    Anyone here into cars?

    I’m a hatch back fan myself. Got a focus St, with all the bolt ons. Also have a 1962 Ford ranchero. That has a straight 6, 3 on the tree. Its fun classic and a useful pick up when I need to haul stuff.

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    I also worked with Alex when I started my new tank. I used pure ammonia as he recommended. Once it cycled, I added fish and coral. No issues.

    RAP NY Purchases

    I bought a coral. Some kind of Rhodactis mushroom from ultimate coral. I’m can’t find anything quite like it. It’s pretty bubbly. I’m not sure if it is some sort of bounce. Paid a litte more than your typical Green Rhodactis, but I didn’t pay bounce money, so I’m happy either way. I know it’s...

    Water

    I would leave the pumps on. I stirred up the sand and created dust storms every day when my tank was cycling. Clogged my filter sock everyday. Now my sand is pretty dust free.

    New new 40 breed

    I had to run back to OIA again today because I did not get this toadstool yesterday.

    New new 40 breed

    Yes. The torch is pretty high flow. Really swinging around. Doesn’t seem to mind though. The hammer is in a little less flow. The motion is very nice.

    New new 40 breed

    Just visited Ocean Image Aquatics. Picked up a couple nice euphyllia specimens. Looks pretty nice in my tank if I do say so myself.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Wow. I’m going to start a culture! They sound like an ideal saltwater food. I like to feed blackworms, but white worms are more sustainable. I had no idea they could stay alive in saltwater for days. I have found black worms to be the most nutritious food. The fish look so fat and happy when I...

    Skimmer problems.

    That’s a good plan. I’m going to make sure to have supper clean hands when I rinse and ring out the sock. It could have been oil from my skin. I was rinsing the sock frequently from wall the dust from the new sand bed clogging it. Not that I was working in the tankwithout washing my hands before.

    Skimmer problems.

    No idea. Before I swapped it it would just make bubbles, but no foam. It was very touchy, and there was a fine line between not skimming at all, and overfowing. Now I can adjust to skim dry. I can skim wet without overflowing. It seems to be working properly. It was immediately better when I put...

    Skimmer problems.

    After all the trouble with the skimmer, I changed the filter sock 2 days ago. It immediately started building proper foam for the first time ever. It’s been working perfectly for 48 hours. There was absolutely no surface tension before to form foam.
