Besides Alk & Ca, need to make sure phosphates and magnesium are within acceptable prams for good coralline growth. Are you using RO/DI for make-up & water change water& have you tested the output quality?

All my "show" pieces are from frags I've acquired trading within our club, in fact many are frags of frags that I've given out over the years. Happy reefing! Glenn R

How about requiring the tanks to be 100% stocked with captive bred/raised animals.

Great segment, this deserves a bump! Any idea of what aquarium it is in the background of Sylvia Earle's interview?

As P.T. Barnum used to say "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" Or it's just some folks have more money then sense. All said, I'd pay a good amount for a nice sized piece, but you wont see me on a 5 year long waiting list!

In a word, YES! :roll:

If your using natural seawater, are you not in effect using "live water". Can it be done with artificial seawater that is totally sterile? Glenn R

Sounds totally normal for a healthy Trachyphyllia (open brain). The skeleton is the base, and should be firmly planted in the sand. Happy Reefing Glenn R

Only the water evaporates, all the salts, minerals etc stay behind. Your corals and the fish waste will consume minerals, that is replaced with water changes and supplements. (kalk, Ca reactor, 2 part...) HTH Glenn R

Felt? Don't you have a thermometer in the tank? How long has this tank be set up and running? Glenn R

Been using IO for years. Just use a 2 part to bump up the Ca & Alk levels if you feel you need to.

I've got a hangover just thinking of the "fun" you going to have in DC next year!
