i made the mistake of housing my tang in a QT with a damsel. The damsel stupidly tried to carve out a space and that didn't work out. Since that brief period in the QT, it's been years now and even though there is 120 gallons of space, the tang will purposefully chase the damsel at any given...

Since his costs are probably lower overall to maintain his tank - everything now has a rosy complexion to it! :grin:

cool...the rock rubble was a nitrate trap like nikki said then!

I have a softball sized hunk of candy cane. It started as 3 heads from greg. Needless to say if you want to start over, more than happy to chip in. No frogspawn but plenty of hammer coral (similar). My setosa is very small. I had bryopsis about 2 years ago and pretty sure I eradicated it...

Cool...sorry to hear about the permit issue though...it's always one thing or another with the local towns.

Mine gobbles up any bits of mysis that float by the clowns and fish. That is the extent of me feeding it. I also used to feed it directly (as in turkey baste some mysis right at it) but noticed how quickly it was growing and I stopped. It's still growing and just split.

ouch.... congrats on the panels though...how big of a system did you get?

LOL. People are stunned when I tell them that the grape cap is "alive" and not a piece of plastic stuck in there. But honestly telling them it's an idaho grape cap is about as relevant to them as what kind of pumps I'm using. LOL. My typical answer: "yes that wavy thing is alive, it's an...

MACNAs past. While I feel like the club learned a lot from Atlanta and made a lot of changes to accommodate what people wanted, I sorta doubt MASNA would choose NJ again so soon. Also a lot of the core knowledge from people like john/phyl/mikem/rod/brian etc which would be beneficial to have...

Names and corals don't get along with me. I'm just happy if my corals live...lol.

Cool - i saw the pic and was like - ok I see the hinge but I don't see the head/legs...which means it's hiding. If it were dead it would not be able to hinge close like that I think...and it'd be might stinky....or plain empty. thanks for sharing!

lol don't get me started on the emoticons...they are (as charles barkley would say) Turibble.

oh and btw - this is one reason why i don't venture into big box store fish sections. Just too many horror stories...

foxface isn't a tang though...rabbitfish. I feel torn on this. I agree the fish probably deserves a better home, but let's not forget a "better" home means not just size, but water quality, food, appropriate community mates. What I'm saying is that at the extreme, one would argue no size...

FWIW I use the Lamotte test kit for alk...love it. I don't need a chemistry degree either to figure out the results.

Australia and France...two countries you'd think would be "advanced" enough to realize that if a shark wanted to kill you, there would be a death every day in those waters. For perth - 5 in one year results in this panic? ridiculous. The french panic because of 2 attacks. Neither article...

not to confuse the matter further but what you are using to measure Ph?

saw this - figured it might help to repost: 1) Isolate (quarantine) the fish if any of these things apply: - i) Fish is covered in many areas with nodules; - ii) Fish is being harassed by other fish; - iii) Nodules on the fish's mouth hinder it from eating normally; and/or - iv) Fish shows...

hard to tell -maybe Brooklynella (aka clownfish disease). Velvet would have probably struck them dead already. The other possibility is ich...

I am using biopellets now. Benefits: http://www.njreefers.org/showthread.php?74843-Starting-Bio-Pellets&p=674626&viewfull=1#post674626 I've read that some people will still run GFO and Carbon along with bp. Like i said, i'm just too lazy to hassle with another reactor for carbon or gfo... So...
