Right now all coral colonies look OK, but still need to recover the Emp's body, or I can still have...
Well my pellets ain't doing squat in my tank. Going on 8 weeks, 750 mls of Bulk Reef Supply pellets. Maybe I should adjust the flow? Up or down? Nitrates are 10+ . BTW, Jim these are under my tank,which is not totally dark. Dan, you saw my tumble action, they looked OK to you right...
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...
I have been blending salts now for the past few years. My usual blend lately has been 1/2 Red sea coral pro and Reef Crystals. Blending salts can prevent issues that may be salt related. If you have a bad batch, only 1/2 the salt added will have a problem and the other half most likely will...
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...

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.

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...
If you are going to use ozone, I would recommend an OzoTech ozonizer. The Poseidon model is pretty good, and I used it for a few years. This thing produces ozone even w/o the air drier. I would not consider any other unit. I used a Red Sea and had nothing but trouble. They sell them at...
Anybody going to the meeting have any extra MgCl (Magnesium Chloride) that I could buy? I am running a little low in the Mg at around 1200 and want to get it up to the 1350 range. I could use a couple of pounds if anyone has any leftover from a big buy. I also have some bulk group buy carbon...
I have a somewhat large Miami Orchid Colony for Sale. Local pickup only. This guy is about 10 in. + high and maybe 5 inches wide.
I am trying to keep my colony sizes down, and this guy is just blocking too much light. $120.00. If no interest in the whole colony, I will chop out some huge...
I sent my food preference w/ my PayPal in the message text, but in case it was missed, HerbieK and Mrs. HerbieK hearby request 1 Flounder and 1 Salmon meal.
Thanks.
