I clean both of my EV skimmers once a week, by just wiping the main tube out with clean paper towels. The cup I take off and use a brush and hot water. Works great for me been doing it this way for over a year. Sandy

Thanks for replying. No I wasn't the one previously that was told to frag. I will definately do that tonight as the algae is slowly taking over. How long will it be before the color comes back on the rest of the coral that is showing polyps but no color? Thanks again. Sandy

I had posted here when my 4th of July incident happened on the tanks heating up to 90 degrees. Lost quite a few corals and fish. I have a katspaw, birdsnest, red pocillapora that had bleached. It has been a month and a half. I see polyps on these corals but they still have not regained their...

I wash my hands well with liquid baby wash (since it is so pure), rinse, slop some white vinegar to cut even more oils, soaps, etc and rinse well again. Pat dry with paper towl.

Hi, Flying Fish Express has the Rowaphos here in the states. Sandy

Reefland, They usually sell them at the place you purchased your fixture at. I picked up extra bulbs for mine when I purchased them just to have in stock. Sandy

Terry, Thank you. I got home from work and the Imperator was laying on his side. I nudged him and he took off swimming. Doesn't look to good. :( Sandy

Terry, He/she loves flake food but have been trying to give a variety of frozen also, ie. clam,bloodworms,mysis,angel formula, soaked in Zoe or Selcon If it is internal parasites is there something that can be mixed in the food to get rid of them? This little imperator came with gill flukes...

Terry, It has been a while since I had posted last and I am beginning to think that you were correct on my Imperator being damaged by chemicals ie. collection. I have him in quarintine yet, still swims funny and moves his mouth, he eats but not like a young fish should eat. Feeding him...

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. It is appreciated. Do you think my acros will have a chance of a comeback? I am assuming that since I am starting to see cyano in the refugium that there is still a lot of excess junk in the water. Do I need to keep doing 60 gal water changes...

Subject says it all. My hubby decided to turn the temp up in the house so the air wouldn't run so much while we were gone from Wed night till Friday noon. Didn't find out about it until our return. He fessed up. 155 gal tank was totally cloudy. Temp was 90 degrees. I was pretty anxious...

Sue, What a beautiful tank. Your corals are so healthy. You should be proud of your accomplishments. Sandy

Guess it didn't work on the pic. Sorry. Will see if I can email it to you. Sandy

When I got my Pavona this last winter it was the size of my little finger nail. It has grown to the size of a baseball. I don't know why it is not found at the LFS. I have never seen one locally. I got lucky on one of our meetings and a Dr wanted to trade for a frag of mine, so I got the...
