Louey Buy, then ask????? Tell me you've never bought something and then asked about it after the fact when you first started out... or asked the LFS and didn't believe them and decided on a second opinon. If you haven't then you are a more comited person than most and i...

I know of the type you are talking of, and am pretty sure that it is not the aptasia that people fear. Again the problem with common names, but i am no better, as i don't know many scientific names yet. Scott _________________ global recession 2008

I have mostly cc on the surface (top inch or so) and some very small rocks, and then 1-2 inches of SD under that. Both tanks are in a loop from my main tank to the sump so they get good flow etc. They had been intended for breeder tanks for growing out banggais.. but since my tank crashed i...

is the cheleated iron that you use similar to the laterite used for freshwater aquaria? If it is can the stuff be interchanged? also what effects does chealeated iron have on corals etc? danmhippo. do you find the 24 hour lights affect anything else in the tanks such as pods etc. I have 2 10...

to heck with first thing in the morning. I hate going to the doctor. I never go. But i would be sitting in the emergency room RIGHT NOW if i had that. That isn't normal. Scott _________________ Mercedes Benz Viano

i got one thats around 12 inches, another that is 18 inches or more.. can't ell for sure, i never see it all at once. Leave them alone, ore send them to me :-) don't worry about being a killer, i too was fed bad info when i first started. A local LFS in florida told me that i had to get rid of...

I don't think the size of the hose will matter as you are reducing to 3/4 inch any way at the tank( if i understand you post right). Scott _________________ fdic bank watch list

If i remember right from chemistry in high school, brass is a copper alloy, so i would avoid it. Scott _________________ Honda CBR400RR

Just a bit of an update. The corals seem to be on the road to recovery. The LPS seem to have receded a bit on their skeletons, but they are extended. The rest of the corals are open or partially open. The snails seem to be doing ok as do the worms and stars (with the exception of one smaller...

sold to me as a pink belly cuc.. for the most part it spent its time in the sand, but opccasionally would climb the glass to the top.. i guess last night was the climbing night. Maybe it is just a more toxic cuc than normal ones.. Its the only thing that has really changed in my tank.. aside...

Thank you all for your condolences. I never would have believed it if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes. When i first got to the tank there were still some fish that weren't too bad. By the time i got i motion and figured out what happened 2-3 minutes, they were dead. It happens fast by the...

vinegar and a razor blade is what i would use as long as its glass and your blade isn't rusy you'll be fine _________________ Mercedes Benz Vito

No more Cucs, or should i call them nukes :-( _________________ ACS bolt

I did a small water change, and started running charcoal as soon as i noticed it. I am going to probably do a few more water changes, but as long as the corals come back by sometime tommorow i will probably not do much more aside from probably getting rid of my other cuc. Its to bad, i kinda...

I just experienced a TOTAL fish wipe out. Every fish in my tank is dead. 13 in the main tank, 27 baggai babbies in my inline breeder tanks. Some of the snails seem to be droping.. What can be done to help has ben done. The corals look like ****, but some seem to be coming back What i think...
