.....and I thank you for that.

"Use 1 package for aquariums up to 40 gallons, 2 packages for 40- to 100-gallon aquariums. Aquariums above 100 gallons require 2 packages plus one package for every additional 25 gallons." (From Drs. F&S info) The math seems right to me (she said anxiously) 125g = 3units Since I didn't...

Higher doses????? What do you consider higher doses of ChermiPure? I'm only using the bare minimum required for a 125g tank. And I thought these 'units' were highly researched and proven to last at least the 3mo period that I've been using them. I know you shouldn't leave carbon in too long...

Two units I added maybe six weeks ago; the third, about four weeks ago. They are supposed to be changed every four or five months, no? I have the changes scheduled into my computer's calendar so I will remember to change them out, and I change them one or two at a time. ....does that make a...

No brown jelly disease. I did add a colt coral about three weeks ago.... but I've also had a small polyp leather in there for years. The colt is very far from both Euphyllia corals. I have mushrooms, xenia, zoos and palys, dendros, a duncan, two small acans, open brain, blastos.... they all...

First, the essentials: 125gal mixed reef with ~180lbs live rock, 30lbs of which are in the wet/dry filter as rubble. Sg 1.026, pH 8.4, Nitrites 0, Ammonia 0, Nitrates 1, Ca 440-460 (I hate Ca tests!), KH/Alkalinity 8.6/3.09 (Salifert tests). I've had this tank set up for about 2.5-3 years...

Wow.... something so simple, and it works! Thanks. Of course, now that opens up new possibilities for MORE coral placement.....

I always hear people talking about using super glue to place corals in their tank. I have some zoos on a rock that my CUC keeps knocking off their perch. I would like to glue that rock onto my LR. What kind of super glue is it that you use? Can you do it right in your display tank?

I've gone ahead and purchased Selcon and Garlic. From what I've read here, it seems the way to go. I read the package directions, but am curious as to the methods you fine people employ. How long a soak? How much do you use? Always get good ideas from you folks!

name for black/white fish It's got the markings of a Holstein cow.... call it Holstein!

I never cease to be amazed at the help this forum so freely gives out. Thanks! I just bought a couple of the #3 Koralias. Last questions: Since they don't have to pump water any distance up, that means that their rating of 850gph does not have to be adjusted? And once I get them into the...

Yes, I have about 140lbs in the main tank, and another 30lbs in the wet/dry. How exactly would I figure out how much flow I have now? I don't understand what "head" means (well, in aquarium speak, anyway!) in terms of subtracting and adding gph according to turns and stuff. I think I got...

I think I've misunderstood a couple of things I've read, and I think I need more flow in my tank. Right now, I have two pumps, rated 500gph and 350gph, coming from my wet/dry filter (minus bioballs!), and a 350Mag canister filter (without any media except for a bag of Purigen.) My tank is a...

Yup....it had to be the windows! I repositioned my PH. The PH also came with an oxygenator that I never bothered to use, so I stuck it on, and let it oxygenate the water. After the repositioning, and a day of the extra oxygen, I measured my pH. It's back to 8.3..... Thanks! I couldn't...

A good article, but now I'm really not sure what to do! I realized I'd done something else in the last week.....I covered my old house windows (which were really leaky) with that shrink wrap plastic stuff, and after reading that article, I thought "Uh-oh." I also removed the aquarium lid last...
