Who scrapes salt creep back into their system? who removes it altogether? Just trying to figure out if it has a downside to being recycled back into the system. Question 2., Who tests water before AND after pwc's? or just before/just after.... let's talk about it :)

I have been experimenting with my new rebel XT and have been having some trouble getting decent color on my photo's in the sunshine. The photo's are quite desaturated, but the real colors still have been quite vivid even in the bright sunlight. Any suggestions? I haven't found anything on the...

I'm curious about what kind of factors raise pH levels. Decreases make sense to me but what causes a raised pH?

Just wondering what people think of their emeralds and whether they would recommend it for a 46G reef?

hey, I got this ricordea a couple weeks ago, but haven't been able to find out what type of ricordea it is. Does anyone have one? I think it's a yuma but not too sure.

I ordered a few salifert tests kits online and I got my silicate test with an Aug. 06 expiry. What gives, who sells a test kit with 60 tests that expires in 4 months? What.... do they expect me to get my moneys worth and test for silicate every second day until August?:) Clowns!

Who does it who doesn't?

My cleaner shrimp is obsessed with me. Everytime I put my hand in the tank, he swims over to me and hops on it. The only difference today was he found a small hangnail that I didn't know I had... I usually humor him and let him stay on my hand for a couple of seconds, but he found my...

Ok, I gots me a question. I was thinking about this last night and couldn't figure out exactly what occurs in this the following situation that can make it so volatile. When a wet/dry is used, we know that over time it can become a nitrate "factory" and eventually cause a crash. My question...

Hey, You all know how long it takes to aquascape and yet at the end, you feel like maybe you could do better. I like this but I need some objective points of view on whether or not this aquascape looks natural.

Do any of you remember who was the user that documented the building/setup of his BIG tank that was placed in the corner of a room and was "L" shaped. I remember he had to take the complete sliding glass doors off to get the tank in. He also had a small room just off the back of the tank for...

I scrubbed all the dark blackish stuff off which came off pretty easy and muddied up the water in the tub pretty quickly, but I didn't know how much more I should keep scrubbin'. I gave each rock a once over and concentrated on the black patches, but found that the white stuff never came off...

I'm just wondering about how much time people spend just watching and admiring their tank. Not including any time spent doing maintenance, just stopping to admire. If anyone cares to post an answer, throw your years in the hobby down too.

Hey, I posted this in the I.D. section then figured it may be better to go in this forum. My main tank is up and running with a refugium with grape caulerpa and LR rubble from my shipment while my LR is curing in the garage. I just noticed last night that there are what appears to be a several...

I just started my tank and have my liverock curing in the garage, but my main tank is up and running with a refugium with grape caulerpa and LR rubble from my shipment. I just noticed last night that there are what appears to be a few small aiptasia stalks, the smallest is only about a 1/4" or...

So I got a really nice 55 lbs shipment of Vanuatu LR today.... the shapes are amazing. I have a 90G curing tank in the garage that the rock is in along with a friends old dead rock that needed a curing cycle again. The LR i got doesn't appear to have tons of die-off on it so I'm wondering...

Does anyone know of a "minimum" water line on the Ebo-Jager Heaters? I gotta think that as long as the coil is completely submerged, I'm safe... yes....no? Ryan

I'm wondering what people do to solve their microbubble problems... I'm gettin' tons of them, it makes the water look cloudy. Will they diminish with time, it is a new set-up. Any suggestions? Ryan

I got some LR on order due next week and i'm starting to panic slightly cause i'm not quite ready with my gameplan. A friend gave me an old 90G tank to use to cycle my LR, but I need to cycle his old "dead" rock with it. This rock has been sitting in a coulpe of large tubs and has got...

I brought the level over to the stand where my 46G tank is gonna be set up and it wasn't perfectly level. The edge of the bubble is just outside of the line.... may 3 degrees off at most. The stand is sitting on carpet on an outside wall in the living room. Should I try and make it perfectly...

So i got 60 lbs of LR coming to me next week and I am under the gun to get a vessel of some sort all ready to receive the LR. I'm feelin' the pressure, cause I am workin' alot nextt week then leave for a week out of town for work. My plan is to get either a tub or a friends empty tank to put...

I'm gonna start my 1st tank fairly soon and am wondering if there are any downsides in using water from a friends tank that he'd take out at water change time to help me skip past a long cycle period? Thoughts? ryan
