oh and what you are describing is not algae. Anyone that uses Reef Crystals probably has the same experience (i know i do) and the mixing of that with RODI (0 tds) results in some organics that create a biofilm on the container and the cord and pump in the water. the LONGER your stuff is...

if you get a USED rodi unit - try and borrow or get your hands on a tds meter. I have no idea where mine is otherwise I'd offer it. The unit may be cheap but you may have to purchase additional new filters.

interesting cardinal fish! can you share where you obtained them from? just would like to see if there are others/stock/cost etc. if you can't post feel free to pm.

or just wait for your current one to get older. Or roll the dice and try it. When you realize they are not pairing up - then time to get the fish trap. At least you enjoyed having two clowns. Lots of options. =)

I love the aquascape. I am suspicious to the brittle star though - ever have any fish missing? Google Ophiarachna incrassata it's one of the few known serpent stars that potentially eat live fish.

marc levinson has a website that pretty much covers the entire gamut of sumps. http://www.melevsreef.com/what_sump.html I've copied/pasted below what he wrote: Increased total water volume - This dilutes your water of accumulating pollutants, and helps avoid issues that occur quickly in...

I'm not sure. When my male carpet surfed last year i picked up a small "juvi" from AqOb. The female did not kill it outright so I knew it hadn't "changed" yet. I would imagine if the newcomer was female and i released it, my female would have bitten it in half. Of course I have established...

LMAO. What I need is to live closer to you to borrow equipment....(hint hint). HAHAHA.

i had a problem with one "key" on my keyboard and as an interim i just used the "ease of access" service that is on windows to launch the on screen keyboard (which you could use your mouse to 'click' the key). but can you post up the amazon link for this keyboard? curious. thanks.

So I'm running T5 lighting and i'm not too impressed with the combo i have. Giessman Actinic ATI Purple Plus ATI Aquasun ATI Blue Plus ATi Aquasun ATI blue Plus Also I stupidly increased the length of time the lights are on and it burned a few of my corals...sigh. The Red table/idaho...

unfortunately he stated they mostly all died...:cry:

what happened? last i read you were turning the mp40s on constant to see how that goes. Also did you end up keeping or removing the carpet anemone? At the end of the day though it's all about whether the hobby is stressful or you have a minute to enjoy it. You have a lot of cool and interesting...

is that this one? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/424744-GREY/Nikon_2160_105mm_f_2_8G_ED_IF_AF_S.html Price: $899.95 that's a lotta dough.

i know there are potential diseases with the ones that are caught off the shore/north carolina etc. I caught tons of the obseleta nassarius right off of sandy hook, NJ. The kids had fun messiin with them and the hermits. But no one i know caught any disease. Of course we gave all the kids...

getting a 404 error jim.

i like the pyramid bflys' - really different than what one normally sees in fish tanks. Did you get them as a pair? My only experience on them was seeing them on the wii game Endless Ocean. Lol. the solar wrasse is amazing. I assume you have a top for your 120? did you make it yourself?

i've seen folks with nanos like the jbj/bio cubes add an additional powerhead inside the tank for added flow. I used a koralia nano but if you had the money I guess an mp10 vortech would work quite well. The other suggestion i've seen is to use a larger maxi jet for the return (assuming you...

a 10% water change is the bare minimum in my opinion. The more you can do/ afford the better off you will be in the long run. I also think blue legged hermits are more harmful than helpful. They are cheap though compared with scarlet hermits - which are supposedly the ideal hermit (less...

yeah if i were still single and i lived in NY again - i'd go. It's a straight drive up I-87 in NY. I drove by walden, ny many a time on my way to college back in the day. Of course when i was single -who knew what the future entailed? I wanted to do it but I was like i'm renting an apt in...

More chaeto needs to be harvested. Anyone interested let me know if you are near the edison/metuchen area - or if you are around Warren (just northwest of OGII). Otherwise I'll ship it to you but ask that you pay the postage plus a buck or two. $8 gets you a gallon. They are selling this stuff...
