Turns out it is an Acanthochitona discrepans Thanks for your help!

About a year ago, my wife saw something in the tank, we couldn't find it againg until we took a peek about 10 minutes ago. Since we have been looking all over for an I.D. I have a pic, rather bad, not much as far as visual details go. About an inch long, maybe half inch wide, oval in shape...

I have been nursing along a 120 gallon tank for some time, with a magnum 350 can, NO lighting, and a miserable little seaclone skimmer for about three years now. I recently started to upgrade equipment and about the maristar light fixture 2 x250 HQI at 10k. Bought a 6 stage RO/DI system, and...

I love my maristar pendant, it's a thing of beauty.

****UPDATE**** Mixed up new water, tested with hagen kits ph = still unknown precisely, color doesn't match up at all with anything on the provided chart, unless my ph is above 9.0 from RO/DI water. KH = 130 mg/L ( I need to know how to convert this to a proper reading that most reefers...

I'm using the nutrafin brand test kit. The only brand sold in my area, and I have checked all the local places. Most people seem to use Salifert, but I will have to order online to get it, or drive to K.C. The KH/GH (carbonate and general hardness) test has a chart on the back stating that to...

Bought the kits yesterday from the store. Dosing Kalk nightly, water changes every two weeks. New lights 2x250w HQI, probably wouldn't make a difference eh?

KH = ~60mg/L Ca = ~880mg/L PH = ~7.8 Salinity = 1.024 I'm scratchin my head, what to do here? Water change? Buffers, add something? Setup: 120 tall Finger leather Fiji Yellow Devils Hand Leather Several rhodactis Yellow Tang Maroon Clown 2 Humbug damsels 2 yellow tail damsels a few crabs and...

Where to buy from? Aquadirect? Whom else has good prices?

Okay, went to Sanjay's site last night, and went blind looking at all the different charts. I was telling my wife all this, showing her what I was looking at, when she said, "ooooh, get that one, it would look great over the tank!" It's an 2x250 Aquastarlight w/moonlight Can't find a...

I have been reading all day (actually fell asleep at my comp for about 15 minutes surfing for equipment, reading reviews and checking posts). I'm just about down to Reef Optix III pendant AB 10k DE or Hamilton 14k DE Icecap ballasts Is this in the right direction?

Time to buy!!!!! For the longest time, I have been running NO tubes and keeping mainly a few shrooms, and one poor leather that was rescued and is maintaining fairly well, although not really growing much. Well, I have saved and saved and it's time to give my 120 gallon 60"w X 24"d X 30"h tank...

Or 48" staggered. How do you build a hood around that? What is the total length of those kind of lights with endcaps and all?

I may be moving in that area in the next couple of months, any suggestions on a good location for a family of 5? We might be renting at first, but buying as soon as we get established. My mom just purchased in davidson county, but I cannot locate the street (sheebrook?). Any help or info sure...

I went totally ghetto and found a piece of 3/4 inch pvc and some old carpet razors. Made a diagonal cut in the pvc and inserted the blade, voila, no algae on the tank front! Total cost = 0.00 Like I said ghetto.
