  2. Announcement: Advanced Aquarist - Now in Print!

    This is great news! I added a copy to my amazon cart for the next time I'm checking out on puchases. Thank you! 8)
  3. HELP!!! My Yellow tail wrasse seems ill

    Does it breath hard while it's laying on the sand? Could this be an oxygen issue?
  4. Cirrhilabrus Rhomboidalis

    That is a gorgeous fish! I've been attempting to avoid getting bit by the wrasse bug but it is sooo tempting. :wink:
  5. No more Tongan imports

    According to Walt Smith "The Documents from Tonga were sent by special air courier on Friday." so let's hope this is ironed out soon.
  6. This is gonna sound like a cop-out ...

    It seems every time I pop in to RDO there's a thread about Len's inability to post pics... Len didn't you mention above that the important photos are on another drive? Soo... let's see em. Important must equate to at least a couple tank pics right??? No wait, perhaps you need some reverse...
  7. Rochester, NY: an evening with Dr. Ron Shimek

    Just in case anyone was planning to come, the event has been cancelled and may be rescheduled for a future date.
  8. Is this AEFW

    You also may want to check your phosphate level as the skeleton normally doesn't turn green that quick unless you've got a phosphate problem. I battled aefw and that damage does not look similar. When it comes to how long it takes them to wipe out a small colony... it depends how many there...
  9. SPS keepers - Nutrient load in your tank?

  10. How long have you had a reef tank?

    Yup, my akita Kuda. He's now a year and a half old and the hubby and I don't know how we ever lived w/out him before. Luckily we did our homework and had some experience w/ large breeds so he fits in perfect with us. I am still amazed at how well behaved he is for being intact but we haven't...
  11. How long have you had a reef tank?

    Hiya! :D Nice website Len! (Sure wish this forum had waving hand and thumbs up icons... maybe I'm just icon happy. :lol: )
  12. How long have you had a reef tank?

    21 years FW, 6 years Reef (almost one year of SPS... took me long enough to get the bug. :D)
  13. Pura Complete

    I use the PuraPhos version. It runs reddish brown when rinsed but has kept my PO4 nil. I will never use anything else again, unless I decide to spend $ on a reactor which seems pointless since this stuff works just fine. I have a Turboflotor skimmer with the box that is supposed to contain...
  14. Photo of my tank, finally!

    I can see I came back to this site just in time to see Len's tank... :roll: Buh bye. :lol: **kidding, I don't remember everyone being quite this funny last year... maybe I'll start lurking here again. :wink:
