I went there about 2 yrs ago when I visited Denver, and honestly I was not very impressed for what I paid. You pay the same for Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and that is MUCH better, but it is too bad.

Mine not only pretty much close up, they shrink to insanely smaller sizes. My tank is overrun with this stuff and at night is the only time I can see the live rock the xenia is on. During the day it is so large and extended, I cant see anything.

In gerneral, as you can see above, the LFS usually rips you off when you try to trade it in. In fact, around here I cant even find any more LFS to take my xenia off my hands because there are so many people with it. I have changed to trying to either trade/sell it to other reefers so you may...

I have been using the "algae" version (all green flake) and the mix version for a while now and I like it. My dad I believe started using it and said he saw major color improvement in his fish. I can not say I have seen it in mine, but if I remember correctly the food isnt much if at all more...

I keep my tanks between 75-79 if possible going as high as 82 in the summer. I dont like it getting much higher than that reguardless of what all these new articles say. You may want to try giving your chiller a break for a week or 2 and letting your temp go to 82. The best measure is the...

Xenia as well here, NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN!

Sounds like an excellent experiment, and you sound like you are a responsable enough reefer to notice if a coral is being picked to death and get it out of there ASAP. I mean come on, the guy is not going "well if they corals get picked at so be it, too bad". He wants to house certain types of...

Ok its about time for me to change my bulbs on my MH setup (~2 yrs old). My ballasts are IceCap 250-I. I know they are specifically tuned for Iwaski bulbs, but they only come in 6500 K and I was just curious what would happen if I put a higher K bulb in which of course would not be Iwaski. Come...

Mine also is afraid of everything that moves. He did get upset when I added a foxface, but other than that he does not bother a soul. He is my favorite fish by far and well worth the money, if you find one that eats like a pig. Definitely one of my favorites.

Hey nice tank. While I do prefer the look of a sand bed, obviously you dont need one. I must agree with the xenia theory based on my experience. My 90 gal tank is pretty much all xenia unfortunately. Mostly because I've never been good at keeping up with it. And I think it is amazing at...

I just like his tank . Nice tank.

What is "ADA"?

I never check anything and really dont even own the test kits to check with. Of course if something starts to look odd I will pick up a basic test kit. All I have recently tested was Calcium and Alk because I was setting up my Ca reactor.

I would never get a chiller either and would much rather do the coke bottle ideas on the random days it get's too hot in my tank. This guy isnt living on the equator, he is living in NY, and it sounds like he really hasnt had this problem before this ugly heatwave. So lay off. At this point I...

Troy is too far to drive from Dearborn??? Wuss! I drove from Ann Arbor to Troy (only took 45 min) for the meetings. MASM also has an email ring for discussions and trading information as well. MASM is pretty cool, we have a good amount of members and quite a few good speakers. We only meet...
