  1. Getting coraline algea to grow..

    Reefguide, Sorry for the delayed responce. I am very surprised to hear that your local fish store would reccommend or sell you this product for ich, since Marc makes no claims in regards to this product being able to cure such diseases or any other fish related disease for that matter. I am...
  2. Getting coraline algea to grow..

    I pulled this off Mark's web site this pretty much says it all? huh? "PROVIDES MISSING COMPOUNDS THAT ALLOWS PRESENTLY ÒINVISIB PLEÓ ORGANISMS TO NOW GROW, THRIVE AND ADD COLOR AND BEAUTY TO YOUR LIVE ROCK!" Those missing compounds must also help fight ich, Bonus!, LOL!
  3. PB Tang - 1 month later

    Similar experience with my PBT. I added a young PBT, about 3 inches, to a 60 gall about 9 months ago and about 2 months ago moved him to my new 130 gal. Although he ate small amounts of nori in the begining his diet consisted only of live brine for the first month, he would not touch anything...
  4. Getting coraline algea to grow..

    Did you read the directions on that gel. I'm still laughing my a#$ off, it says coraline will grow if all other conditions are right. If all other conditions are right you dont need anything to grow coraline. Sounds like Snake Oil to me. I have seen the quickest results with dosing Kalk. I...
  5. Adding kalk without dripping

    I have heard talk of a product that allows you to mix kalk powder directly to one gallon of ro water and add directly to your tank for water top off. 1 tsp per 1 gallon of top off water shake and pour slowly into tank. Has any one else heard of this product. If so, what is it, think I heard...
  6. Has Anyone Enlarged Slots on Overflow?

    If you have a slotted over flow box you can knock out every other piece. You may want to use a black mesh or filter floss to cover the opening. I've opened up the over flow this way but I am not using a screen or anything. Fish are larger, and tank consist mainly of sps, some snails but have...
  7. Will most Clams thrive the best under 250w or 400w mh lighti

    Clams need lots of light, if you run 250's you should be ok if you tank is less that 20 inches deep. 24 or deeper should have 400W. Also you need one bulb for every 24 inches of tank witdth. You can keep clams up higher in tank on rock work but be sure to have a stable area for them and allow...
  8. Plumbing Question

    Steve, 1 " Bulk heads are threaded on the outside for the crown nut, I understand. But the plumbing needs to slip into the bulk head and be glued, since it's a drian I not even going to try not gluing it. Anyone ever done a PVC plumbing repair on existin set up.
  9. Plumbing Question

    I am replacing a bulk head in my sump area and need to shut the filtration system when doing this. The Bulk head needs to have a 90 deg. elbow glued in it and I was wondering how long does PVC cement need to dry before turnning filter back on. Was a bit worried about any glue vapors running...

  11. icecap vho, reef fanatic

    Yes actually bought one 2 months ago for Reef Fanantic. When you say fully assembled, not sure what you mean. I bought the ice cap balast and end caps, which you have to wire yourself. Then you have to buy the bulbs seperate. Balast do not come wired to end caps because there is more than...

  13. Buying SPS-What Should You Get For Your $?

    Emperator, Strickly Fish, I understand they have two locations, Lakewood and Garden Grove, I have only been to the Garden Grove store, and think they have about the best selection of healthy corals I have seen. Some times selections of SPS are limited because I have been told by the owner he...
  14. Buying SPS-What Should You Get For Your $?

    Sue really has great resources for good buys on SPS's, if you havent been to her site check it out, hat's off Sue. I on the other hand have only bought larger clusters i.e. 4-7 inches and have payed full retail, usually get a little bit of a break for LFS seeing as i've dropped so much cash...
  15. lighting is the question, do u have an answer?

    This is not a question that is easily answered, and as you get more responces I sure you will become even more confused. I feel it really depends on many factors. 1 how much you are willing to spend. If you want SPS I would sugest running halides, and if your tank is 36 inches wide I would...
