I have been running BRS pellets for about 7 weeks now, and my nitrates have not moved at all. My LaMotte nitrate kit looks like grape juice (clear is 0 nitrates). This is off the charts at over 10. I have been adding Zeobak a few times a week. From what I heard from folks at the Sept...

Well, the tank looks good and a lot of people say if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but I took the plunge and am now running BRS Bio Pellets. I do have some small cyano patches and a few tufts of hair algae in lower flow spots (if that is possible in my tank, it's like a Jacuzzi in there - 4...

Blue Tipped Purple Slimer Miyagi Tort I just finished renovating some colonies that have grown out of control, and that means free "trimmings". I reduced the size of the colonies so they are now maybe 1/4 the size of the original. The remaining stumps and extra branches I did not use are...

Didn't know where to post this, but I don't see any mention of a July meeting. If no one is stepping up, I hereby volunteer the services of the HerbieK house. Any of you grand exhaulted, high club officials out there have any comments? Let me know. Herb

Sorry for the lousy pic. These are not caps. The green one is more of a Spongoides type of coral that forms a cap like plate, but sends up spires. The other also is a thick plating coral that can grow cap like, but also sends up spires. The green is about 1.5 to 2 inches, the other two are...

I am re-arranging some stuff in the tank. I have some large green cap w/ purple rim frags, some green slimer frags and some other stuff that broke off as I am working. I have seen other people actually selling frags of this size, but I am giving them away. I was going to throw this stuff out...

This thing is 6 inches long and about 3 inches wide, and beginning to "swirl". Hopefully someone comes for this before I throw it out! Herb

I am going to clear out my huge green slimer colony in the center of my tank. This one has provided frags to many a club member. I am looking to move the whole thing, or some very large colony sized frags (4 - 5 inches, branching). The whole shebang is 8 - 10 inches high and about a foot...

At the July meeting, there was a discussion involving what happens to wattage used when restricting pump flow. I hooked my Kill-A-Watt up to my chiller pump (Gen-X), which has a ball valve on the outflow side. When I turned down the flow (closed the ball valve slightly), the wattage used...

Anyone have any tricks or tips (besides spear fishing, which I am considering!) for catching a fairly large Powder Blue tang in a 180? This guy's coral munching days are coming to a close. I don't want to tear down my rockwork if I can help it. Much of my colonies/frags are attached to the rocks...
