Thanks. I'll probably give that a go. John

Does anyone know where I can get a top trim for a 55 gallon tank? The middle brace broke on the tank and I had to drain it because the glass was visibly bowing due to the lack of support at the top. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thank you, John

Monkeyboy- I have a refugium which is on a reverse photoperiod and that light fills the entire room with a dim "moonlight" effect. I too thought that perhaps the refugium light might have had something to do with the spawning event. Thank you for the info, everyone. John

Last night it appears that my large colony of green star polyps spawned. When I first noticed what had happened this morning the colony was covered in small pinkish orange dots which I can only assume are eggs. Does anyone know if these corals are hermaphrodites or do they have separate sexes...

Wade, Yeah, I have a small air pump that keeps things from getting stagnant. The weird thing is that it is still possible to see individual eggs within the egg strand. I would have thought that an infection would have overgrown the eggs and "blurred" them together. Also egg strands that are...

I have separated a number of Berghia v. egg strands from the parents and placed them in jars filled with filtered water. Currently I have about 9 strands. The oldest of these, which were laid 9 days ago, have begun to change color from the typical creamy white to reddish/pink. Any ideas? From...

This is a question for those Saltwater chemistry gurus out there. I have a 500 gal system that I recently setup. I have all of the major equipment up and running now and I am trying to get my calcium levels and alkalinity stable before I add anything living. I have been running my Calcium...

I have to agree with theringnebula, skimmers from mtc are the best that I've seen bar none. The HSA's are absolutely amazing. I have an HSA 1000, for a 600 gallon system that I am setting up. Look into them, they are worth the money. John

mgamelin, Where did you find the stainless steel sheets? John

I've been looking in Indiana and I have found nothing. Tried the Clarksville HD near Louisville... no luck. If anyone finds any let me know too. John

Are they shaped similar to a margarita snail only much smaller? If so then I may have had a massive infestation of them as well a few years back. They came in on a piece of live rock, proliferated until there were literally hundreds of them, and then all died out. I haven't seen one in at...

I've been PADI certified for 7 years. I've been to the Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Curaco, Belize and Bonaire. Diving is up there with eating and breathing on my list of life's pleasures. Next trip: Little Cayman. John
