    Culturing copepods

    those are not the same as the "tigger copepods". Tibse copepods are common - the species being sold by reefnutrition is a different species altogether.

    Chemistry

    i use kalkwasser to keep my ph to 8.5 consistently. I can't speak to two part. I'm sure a lot of people use it and can chime in. My understanding is that one part (of the two part) is indeed a buffer for alkalinity which should help maintain pH. When alk is there, it helps to minimize pH swings.

    Opening a can of worms...

    That's the L series. The L series offers the image stabilization. Frankly I intend to take photos of the corals in my tank. They are not moving and using a tripod is a no brainer. I guess i could take some pics of flowers or such. But even then I'm not 100% convinced I want to drop...

    Is this a good deal?

    Hmmm - I would be patient and seed everything with biospira. This way you control exactly the bacteria that is going into the tank and nothing else. You could also seed the tank with "live" sand purchased from the LFS. When i bought LR (from a fellow club member) I ended up introducing...

    Dino's or Cyano?

    nassarius will help to turn the sandbed slightly and eat any food that lands on the bottom. But if you want something to eat the growth on the sand you'll need either fighting conches or a sea cucumber - but i'm not sure the latter is ok given a 45 cube may not have enough sand real estate to...

    The End For Now (75g RR)

    hey man - if it's bryopsis - a gallon of tech M will destroy the stuff in a month or two with no danger to the rest of the tank. If it's just regular HA - just throw in a couple mexican turbos. consider mexican turbos = $20 for 2~3. Tech M is $30 or so for a gallon. vs selling your tank at...

    Is this a good deal?

    why do you need more LR - it looks like plenty in the tank. Just get some of that biospira stuff to get the cycle/seeded it.

    Is this a good deal?

    i built mine from "scratch" by finding the parts at Home depot and putting them together. Not as nice looking as the $50 version though.

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    after what he has been thru - i wouldn't be surprised if jim was dosing vodka to himself!!!!!! :D but it does seem like things are looking up. So you are the second person to warn of the hypnotic and aggressive growth of pocci. My pocci (courtesy of herb) is confined to a small island...

    Dino's or Cyano?

    have you considered increasing the output on the mp10s? maybe that will discourage the growth? The other question is what your clean up crew consists of. Anything for the sand?

    Short vid of my 90g w/ an awesome song by "Hillsong"

    i've never heard of a choc chip star eating corals (but you may be right)- but i have read that they are dicey proposition with tridacnid clams. As for the fish - he knows - there was another thread about him wanting to add a clam but first having to remove the fish. I think his family loves...

    Culturing copepods

    I've read just the opposite - tigger pods are a pelagic species that do not do especially well in the confined cases of our small warm tanks.

    Road Trip

    I think I read an internet quote that is very appropriate - something like " the surest sign of intelligent life outside of earth is the fact that they have never contacted us"....HAHAHA.

    Trivan's 45 Cube

    The tunze ATO is a set it and forget it thing. The ONLY thing I check is to ensure the top off water is never exhausted of water, if an airbubble gets into the tunze pump - it will cause it to stop functioning correctly. I take it you eliminated this risk with the solenoids? how does a...
