FWIW... Once in a while I'll notice the spots of Coralline on the glass starting to bleach white. Every time I've dosed the tank with Iodine and it recovered within a day. The one time I did let it go, all of the Coralline on the glass did die off and some of the rocks started to bleach when I...

First tank was allot of good quality LR from the LFS, a few pieces of uncured LR. Never did see an ammonia/nitrite spike, just a small nitrate spike. All my other tanks were started with LR/LS and water from this tank with one or two small fish added 2-3 later. Never had any ammonia/nitrite...

I for one am very happy that I don't live in an area that has a 1000% mark up. We pay anywhere from $25 - $35 for a small Purple Tang.. If I sold one for $250.00 I think the owner would die on the spot... Whats the going price on a Lg Emperator? ~ $120 or so.. If that was a 1000% mark-up...

^^^ Anyone else have any ideas... I seen some of this starting just before I left. And according to my wife it is starting to get out of control... Nothing seems to be touching it, not even out hair loving hermit... I guess she just added 10 yes 10 Emerald Crabs to the tank thinking this will...

OK..OK... I e-mail the wife and apologized.. I guess them darn Emerald Crabs are eating the stuff. I think I'm going to just hand her over the tank.

When you sleep on the couch next to the tank instead of the bed next to your wife.

Is that a pic of a Vlamingi Tang that Quillen posted? WOW!! That is one sharp looking tang for sure.

My wife gives all the fish nicknames then they just sort of stick. My personal favorite is Demonic our Hawaiian Dragon Eel. My wife didn’t know I was getting it. When she got home she noticed the Quarantine tank had the cover over it. She hurried up and called me at work seeing if it was ok to...

I like Bob’s idea the best!!! In the 100g tank I kept all the sand (aprox 300lbs), 4 in of water above the sand (aprox 20g), most of the corals, the fish and just the bottom layer of LR. The very large corals and Gorgonians went into 5g buckets. I didn’t want L/R falling all over the place, so...

I moved a 100g just to the other side of the room... Took over a case of beer... I drained about 80% of the water into trashcans, keeping enough water in the tank for the fish. I did remove the rock and corals from the tank. To move the tank, I put cardboard under the stand then slid the tank...

Thanks a bunch... I couldn't remember if it was 231 or 321... makes a bit of difference.

I need the formula for figuring tank Volume… (LxHxW)/???? I can’t remember… Please, I need the actual formula and not links to calculators, as my internet access is very limited here and I can’t access any of the calculators.

I just used a length of capped PVC that I cut numerous diagonal slits in.
