The tank now has a nice bunch of corals but it has taken a different direction. I am not more interested in breeding gobies. I have about 20 different gobies, some kind of unusual a few pairs of which are spawning as are a pair of Bangai cardinals and bluestripped pipefish This is the clam I...

Wendy, thanks Here is my tank about 5 years ago. It was full of corals. Then about three years ago I had an acident. Now there are much less corals. My town added a large dose of zinc orthophosphate to the water supply and for some reason enough of it got through to kill most of the corals in an...

They are always spawning 8) Mike maybe they looked like watchmans when they were very young but they don't dig like a watchman. I have some watchmans. I really don't know and I don't know if I have a book with them in there, maybe someone on here does

:D Actually UG filters were first put to use in the early fiftees. Robert Straughn (The Father of Salt Water Fish Keeping) advocated their use in salt water but he did not understand the principal which made them work. He used them as a mechanical filter. Saltwater fish could not be kept before...

OK who has a problem with UG filters and why? Think hard before you reply ;D

Now they're this fat married lazy old couple

Mike these are the gobies when they were young

OK maybe just one

Wow, you must be an old guy :D

Then you may not see ich again ;D

I think people are tired of seeing pictures of the bottles in my tank by now. ;D

Hello people. I just got here. It seems like a nice forum (even though I see my name mentioned in a few places) I diden't say any of it. Anyway I started my reef in 1972, it runs a reverse UG filter (yeah I know it can't work) I also use some NSW from the Atlantic, an algae trough and just...

Mike, mine never looked like yellow watchmans. I got them when they were young and are definately not watchmans. I have some of them but I never looked up the name of the ones I have. I have 3 of the gobies that are spawning now, the pair now ignores the third one but they drove him crazy for a...

They are, I just browsed a few threads and I am accused of all sorts of wierd things. They are all true of course, but wierd. ;D

I do, but my reef is only 39 years old, I think all of those horror stories kick in around 40 years ;D

Nice to be in your reflection, reflections ;D

I don't think I suggested that. (although I personally do not change much water)I also did not write that study nor did Bob Goemans. He got the information from a few researchers who were writing a scientific study and he published it in a free newsletter. I did not say DSBs do not work, they...

Who is this "Paul" guy? Sounds like a jerk 8) UG filter? The nerve. Can't work. I bet it won't last a day past 40 years. :'( I'll bet he even puts mud in there from the Long Island Sound ;) And I also bet that some of his fish are not even 15 years old and a few of them are not even spawning...

Bill I thought I would visit. Thanks for the link. Your tank looks great. Good luck with it. Paul
