House temp is same as it has been all summer ~77 and actually it is cooler out lately than it was in July so I don't think external environment has much to do with it. I usually kept the tank at 82 as this is where I could keep it the most steady but for some reason it has jumped 5-6 degrees...

I replaced the heater and still temp remains at 87-88. I then unplugged all heaters and temp is still at 88. Can an external Mag 9.5 cause a tank to heat up like this??

The pump is external. It is an external closed loop. I will replace the thermometer to see if that helps.

I seem to have a big temperature problem and not sure where it is coming from. I have my tank set up with no problems, well not with temperature anyway, for about a year. I pulled out two Maxijet 1200 PH and replaced with a closed loop system with a SQWD run by a Mag 9.5. Then WAM my...

Priming closed loop system Here are a couple of pictures of the system... hope that helps someone think of an idea. I am priming the system by taking the cap of my 'top tube' and pouring in water, screwing on the cap, and plugging in the pump. Is there some other trick here that I should know...

I don't think it is a pin hole leak as there a ton of bubbles. I am thinking more of an air pocket. Is there a good way, other than banging on it, to force the air out of the system?

I have my whole tank broken down and cannot get my new closed loop system working. Is there some kind of trick to get it to prime? I can get water to flow through the system but there are tons of bubbles. Any suggestions much appreciated. I need to fix before I put all my rock back in the...

Do you directly feed them or just let them grab it out of the water column? I have not been directly feeding mine. Could this be a reason?

I recently purchased (3 weeks ago) an aquacultured Button Polyp from etropicals. It seems to be doing great and has been opened up since day one. However, over the last few days I have seen a couple of the polyps floating around in the water column. It appears that they just were pulled off...

I think he is just taking off the glass covering and replacing with eggcrate. I had a similar experience when I ditched my glass covering. Now I do not have anything between my lights and water and corals have really opened up.

Is there a food souce that would have less phosphate that I could switch to? Nitrates are 10.

no Macroalgae and no fuge. With stepped up efforts how long before I see an improvement? I want to be patient but also want to know if what I am doing is having an effect before I change and do something else. I have always used RO water so I still have not identified the source of PO4...

I am in the midst of a Cyano bloom and have tried to read up as much as possible on ways to combat but have a few questions. Things I am doing More frequent water changes -1 per week Optimizing skimmer efficiency- Aqua C Remora HOB Feeding less- I have a Tang and a clown. The tang gets Seaweed...

It was a Tigertail cucumber. I have a coral banded that picks at most things in the tank this is probably the culprit. When I picked up the piece I found in a net and pulled it out of the water it just disentegrated. Everything still appear healthy sans the Sarcophyton so I guess I will take...

I purchased a crabless detrivore kit from Liveaquaria a couple of weeks ago that included a Sea Cucumber. All went well for the first couple of days and it was cruising in and out of the LR. I then noticed that it rear end looked like it was torn open but was not sure if this was normal. Next...

In case anyone is intersted I found a good article on this subject in ReefKeeping http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-10/ac/feature/index.htm excerpt "Indeed, stitching is one of the surest ways to attach "difficult" settling species such as green and yellow "finger and toadstool leathers"...

Well it started to open up a bit today but I still did not like the placement so I attached to a rock using a rubber band as suggested. This appears to be pinching the base of the specimen? Will this do harm?

Well I finally introduced my first corals into my tank. I started with some relatively simple ones (I hope) but have a few questions. I purchased Sarcophyton sp., Sinularia sp, Cladeilla sp, and Protopalythoa sp Is there any special placement considerations? All but the Sarcophyton sp came...

I got an email from Bob, and although he is still very sick, help is on the way ... "If you could pass on the info the AA folks that I am not only very sick, but am making arrangement for my brother to come here next Monday and Tuesday and get these kits out to everyone. I would appreciate it...

Thanks for the pics and the explanation. That gives me some ideas.

FYI.. I got the following message from Bob.. " I believce you requested delivery today or tomorrow. This is impossible. I became very ill and wont be shipping kits until next week. I can gladly coordinate shipping any day you'd like, but I need to spend the rest of this week in bed. Sorry Bob...

Brad.. can you post a pic of what that looks like??
