    Coral Beauty questions...

    I had one a while ago and it was a great fish. Didn't bother any tank mates, including various types of shrimp. The only question might be with corals, but you said it's a FOWLR, so there shouldn't be any issue.

    Shluzer's 120

    Aquascaping looks great. I love the arch look. As Hawkeye pointed out, the star is a known fish eatter, so be cautious.

    Starting Bio-Pellets

    Sounds like you're good to go. Did you ever decide which one you were replacing with the pellets?

    Starting Bio-Pellets

    Running GAC and pellets in a series isn't the ideal situation. Not just the clogging, but they will probably need different flow rates and the GAC will need to be changed more regularly, so you'll be disturbing the pellets more than you should. If you can separate the two chambers and use two...

    Starting Bio-Pellets

    I been using the WM EcoBAK pellets for over a year and a half. I simply added the full 500 ml in a TLF reactor. I was running GFO too for the first 6 months. I decided to pull the GFO offline after the 6 months and my levels have stayed undetectable since. I kept using filter socks and my...

    Recharging GFO??

    I did try it. It seamed to work. I had reused my GFO several times and my levels stayed low. I didn't do it in the quantities they talk about. I just found Rooto crystals at my local Ace Hardware for like $3. I believe I used about 30 grams to a liter and threw in about 50 grams of GFO. I...

    Added a yellowhead jawfish and a "bonus" dragon wrasse today....

    I've had a Yellowhead a while back. Really cool fish. I lost mine when my tank got velvet. Definitely make sure the rocks are close to the bottom of the tank, another one I tried dug under and got squished. The Dragon Wrasses are neat looking when young, but do get larger and aggressive. It...

    20,000gallon in home reef tank

    Holy crap. That thing is huge. I can only imagine the maintenance that goes along with that puppy.

    Just got fios

    My parents have had it for a while and love it. I keep looking every so often, but it's not in my area. I switched from Direct TV about 1-1/2 years ago to the Comcast triple play. The Comcast HD DVR really does suck though. The Direct TV one worked perfect, but the Comcast one just flat out...

    Lost some more fish

    Nothing really jumps out to me. My first tank had higher nitrates that I was battling and the fish were fine, so I doubt that's the cause. What type of damsel is it? I'm assuming you've seen no aggresive behavior between any of the fish. Do the remaining fish all look fine? Where the clowns...

    My New Cone Skimmer is Beast!

    Hey Dan's it's looking nice. I'm glad to see it's finally breaking in. That looks a lot different then yesterday.

    Can't catch a break

    Just keep an eye on the other fish and keep checking the levels until they zero out. Maybe the levels are because of the dead fish. I'd try to find them unless you have to put it apart. I've lost fish in mine, but never noticed a spike. I guess my CUC has taken care of them, but any I've...

    Can't catch a break

    Not sure just what happened. It seams like it's having a small cycle, since it has some Am & Nitrite. Maybe since they were only in there for 3 weeks it was just a health and adjustment issue. I don't count a fish as good until it hits at least the 1 month mark. I've had plenty of fish that...

    Can't catch a break

    My fish do bully newcomers, but only a day or two and usually not bad either. But, by your post it sounds like they were together for a while. I also doubt it was the dosing. It could have been due to a bunch of things. Was this a small tank? Were the YT and angel really small (compared to...

    Grounding Probes – The Debate

    Not sure whether it's good or bad to have. But, I added one about a year ago and everything's been doing fine. So, I'm just leaving it there. I have mine in the sump with all the equipment. I'd imagine if you had stray current in the sump, the whole tank wold be effected. Water is a...
