lol a tang would help but in a 24 ap you're asking for trouble after it grows! ;)

what kind of clean up crew do you have? sorry for pulling up this old thread...

lol can't believe i missed this. But wait greg- what about instead of cyano - maybe medical cannabis ? you could smoke yourself. :o :o :o

colonista...that's what they look like to me. Very common and afaik - reef safe.

you realize that after episode IV was episode V - the empire strikes back. :o :o any thoughts as to how you got it? frag swap? lfs?

normal for cyano. Agree with sid on how to reduce cyano. Main thing to realize though is that it appears because you are putting more nutrients (food/poop) into the tank than taking out.

Thanks jim - i read your post a while back and gave me peace of mind. Bax - i've given up on my leds. I just picked up the reef illuminations fixture from icecap. With the numebr of clams i've killed due to my lighting - i could have gotten a fixture long ago. I was able to get the newer...

i guess the thing is i feel like my window is short since the pair that is laying eggs could just as dramatically decide to stop. So while the goings good - I'd like to make the best use of what's being given to me. Still thanks so much for the encouragement. inky - thanks also for the kind...

i was going to keep my mouth shut - lol but i can't help myself. Dan Costner (his brother) is one of those "scientists". This "invention" was actually developed by the US gov't. They either copied or procured the rights to the patent and tweaked it. I read an interesting counterpoint on...

i'll say it again - sell your camera. HAHAHAH! :D i know - i would love to have it! :) But i just bought a t5 fixture. ;D

After years of being a tropical fish collector in Florida, Ken witnessed firsthand the gradual destruction of the coral reefs in Florida and the greater carribbean. He was one of the first people to apply and get both a state and federal license to aquaculture live rock. (you don't need both...

Thought I'd start a list of inverts that I think aren't great for reefkeeping tanks. Today I will start with a brittle/serpent star that is relatively common. I've seen them at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and sold relatively commonly on the boards. It is Ophiarachna incrassata. Here's a...

rod- this thread is 4 months old. You didn't "miss" anything. Keith is just dredging up old threads...lol.. Keith - I know you are new - but just fyi - asking in a public forum whether someone is selling something could get this thread closed. Buying and selling happens in the members-only...

that is so great of you to pick em up. Good luck with it!

totally agree. This was the result of pure sweat/effort by Ed. Thanks! I must say when I checked out the website - it was interesting but after hearing Ken talk - i am totally amazed and just love what they are doing down there. Great talk from a really down-to-earth guy.

welcome back inky! lol. an 8 gallon - eh? what are the dimensions? you could keep a pair of juvenile clowns similar to the ones i'm raising. But after about a year or so you'd have to trade them in as they do get much bigger. I am not a fan of hermits so that's up to you. Those other inverts...

not sure what you guys mean by this. The slurry in the reactor or whatever barrel you are mixing in is what goes in. The clumped up stuff at the bottom is super concentrated and could swing your alk drastically if you were to dump that in direct to the tank. In my reactor as more Top off is...

copperbands are very difficult to acclimate to dry foods. I believe blange and jimroth have butterflies long term. Copperbands will also eat any tube worms feather dusters. Good luck sid on whatever decide. pepps seem to be the cheapest method. One other method would be to get some epoxy and...

yep - also with the dry food there is zero chance of them chokingon the food - unlike the artemia. Although they are de'cap'd eggs I still get a few that look like they just ate too much of a good thing. Not to mention the "freak out" when the lights go out deal. Just too jittery. here's an old...

i would have posted this the next day on you: . just joking mark! ;D ;D
