I've got chaeto for sell/trade. $10 gets you a huge freezer bag shipped to you. PM me if you are interested. I do PayPal.

I just upgraded to 2 20K 250W MH from 4 x 96W PC. Yeah Me, right? I love the intensity and such, but my 20k bulbs are no where near as blue as I was expecting them to be. The look more like my 10K PC color than my buddies 175 w 20ks or another friend's 400w 20ks. Does anyone know why? Is...

I just upgraded to two 250 watt MH (bought them second hand for $75 with 2 spider reflectors and 2 96 w PCs) from my 4x96 w PC. What kind of schedule do you recommend to adjust my corals (carpet anenome, zoos, polyps, leathers, brain, goniopora, chili) to the new high intensity lighting?

I've got a 55 gallon refugium with lots O Chaeto and a few caulerpas. I was wondering what yous guys (and ladies, especially Reef Lady) used over your refugiums. Also, as mine is 18" deep, and not everyone's fuge is, what would you recommend for out of control macro growth?

I've had one for about 8 months, and it is a monster. But..... in the last 2 months, i've lost 5 green chromis, 1 mandarin, 1 pajama cardinal, catalina goby, 2 peppermint shrimp. And, i had almost all of the mushrooms in 1 specific area of my reef disintegrate. All except the peppermints...

what would cause mushrooms to start dying and disintegrating? My anenome's look good, the snails, polyps, leather, toadstool, fish, and pods all look good, as well as the formia and other 2 stars. Will a high SG kill them off? My SG got up to 2.65 the other day because I had to work so much...

I've scraped and sucked, changed 60% of water and all kinds of things, in my 55 gall fuge. about 40% of the substrate in fuge is covered with the the leafy caulerpa that I got from Hara, she has good stuff, and I have another about 20% coverage with Cheato. The only inhabitants are the worms...

I just moved my 55 gallon over to be my fuge. It is about 3" taller than my display tank, and about 15" to the right of the display tank. I need ideas on how to get water from my display tank, to the 55 gallon, and back without flooding worries. Any takers?

its a 120, with a 30 gal sump, and soon to be 55 gal fuge. What a pill it was!!! DIY canopy and stand.

I can't seem to get the right shutter speed. I put it at max speed and the pics were too dark. Too low speed shows water movement and blurs. I need a good target. Anyone have a suggestion?

For all of you out there who still believe that Condys will not host, here's to you. I was a disbeliever before, until I saw Perky in this follow. Behold! Condy's CAN host!!!

Everyone, my fiancee' and I are the proud new Godparents of several thousand cleaner shrimp!!!! I was on the couch watching Law & Order and looked up at the tank....everything was fine. Twenty minutes later, the show went off, and I glanced back up at the tank......It looked like it was...

I just bought a metallic green mushroom rock. ON the bottom, I found another little metallic green friend.....a brain. I was in shock. Its only about 1 inch long, maybe 1.25", but it cool. I hope to get a picture soon. :D :D :D :D :D :D

I'm trying to find the articles, but I can't find the link.

my new tank is now nitrate free. BUT! check this out: Ca 375 KH 12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alk 4.27 :( :( :( Ph is purple, the darkest on the scale is dark blue at 8.7. I'm itching to change over the tanks, but I need advice on how to obtain the proper water quality levels and to maintain...

I have a 4 inch wide updraft section in my sump, before it spills over into the refugium. I recently filled it up with ~4" pieces of LR, so the water comes down from the tank, under a glass panel, up the LR chamber, and over the wall into the fuge. Any thought on whether this is a good idea or...

I really really really would like to put some mangroves into my system, and was thinking of a little 2'x1' aquarium for a shallow refugium with mangroves. I was thinking 1.5" of mud, and 4-5" of water. Any else have a set-up like this? If so, could you post a picture of it, so I can figure...

Not intentionally. My LFS just got a shipment of tonga branch. They had 2 huge chunks, 22lbs & 18 lbs. $6/lb for over 50 lbs, so we threw in 10 more pounds, hmmmmm.......LR or heroine--is this a hobby, or a sickness? Anyway, That was added in to our 120 gal, freshly cycled system for a grand...

O.K. I know bubbles in the sand are indicators that the DSB is working. My question: are the absence of the bubbles against the glass an indicator of the DSB NOT working? This is day 34 of my cycle, and the nitrates have gone from 80+ and down to 20 and seem to be hovering between 15 and...

I don't have a picture yet :oops: but I was just gonna try to jog some memory, if anyone has any of this creature. My fiance' noticed it first. In a hole in a LR, there is this brown-shelled something. She said it reminded her of FW muscles. its about 1/2" the diameter of a penny, and can...

Which is the best protein skimmer in your opinion? Any reviews? Good prices on good ones?

Does anyone here sell macro? I've been combing ebay, but would rather deal with the good people of this fine forum. If you do, could you tell me the price/weight and types of what you will sell? Thanks!

I have 2 Oscars and 1 pleco. They are in a 75 gallon and one of my oscars recently passed away. They (the pet store) said that she hit herself on the rock and died from self inflicted wounds. Well My question is acctually regarding my pleco. He turned peach when my first oscar died and now he is...

are bioballs beneficial in a SW set up, or not? I've been reading mixed reports. I have them in the sump where the overflow drains into it, and also in my overflow box. Is this a waste of time/space, or are they beneficial in those areas. p.s. i have the display tank's drain line ending...

Yesterday, out of nowhere, a silver-dollar-sized patch of (i think) eggs was on one of my rocks. they are white, about 1/8"-1/4" long, and shaped like tubes, almost like a white-transparent corn husk. They are all nestled together, with only a tiny gap between them. At a glance, they look...
