  1. sabae anemone reproduction

    You are correct. That's what I read. Actually, the book said the sabae is one of the most delicate anemone to keep. When it's white, it's actually expelling the plankton and ready to die.
  2. sabae anemone reproduction

    Man... you guys sabae is white and beautifull. My sebae is brown and ugly. When I first bought it, it's white like in the picture. Now, it's so brown... like dark brown.. :( :(
  3. 3 more pump questions. strainer, input size, & ball val

    In Engineering design, we always put a shutoff valve at main for safety and maintainance. It's not required but always nice and convenient. Then it's also recommend to install a valve at the connection where it goes to the tank. It is good to over design than under design.
  4. Bad experience with Petsolutions

    What upset me the most is they're not willing to work with you at all. They are willing to let me Refuse the order when it comes. Then they have to pay the shipping cost, stocking, boxes, handling, etc. But not willing to give me store credit to buy more of their stuff. This is not the way...
  5. can I use oversized plumbing to plumb my pump?

    A 1 1/2" pipe can push 1380GPH at velocity = 3.5 feet per second. A 1" pipe can handle 384GPH at 2.5 feef per second. A 1 1/4" can handle 900GPH at 3.2 feet per second. The bigger the pipe the greater pressure, velocity of water drop. It depends on what is your pump capacity. I haven't read...
  6. Bad experience with Petsolutions

    That's what I said. I would be happy to get $50in their store credit so I can buy more stuff on their website. But they said NO. Sounds like they laughing at me and said "EAT THAT". I wanted to report them to Better Business Bureaus. They charged me $50 without my approval. I'll call that...
  7. Bad experience with Petsolutions

    Well, I had a really bad experience with petsolution. I placed an order for $280. But when I received an receipt by email, it showed that I being charged for $330, a $50 extra. I called back and they said they charge me $50 more because there is a freight fee for the order. When I checked...
  8. My 14K Metal halide doesn't look right

    Yes you are correct. it is 175W and it is not much brighter than a new 3 feeter PC bulb. I don't like it much compare to my 65K. Then what is the point of having 14K bulb? I heard that the antinic blue will promote the growth of coral. So coral will grow better under 14K compare to 10K? I...
  9. My 14K Metal halide doesn't look right

    I currently have 65K MH bulb. Recently, I just bought a used Hamilton 14K blue MH bulb (5 months old) . When I swap it, the bulb has blue output but it's not intense. It just looks like has equal output as my 96W antinic bulb? Is that how 14K blue suppose to look? I turned all the order...
  10. Tell me about Free Base (Rock, I mean)....

    I heard hawaii base rock is really good. Couple of my friends bought it and they really like the quality. I'm really recommend this to you. $50 for 50lbs. http://www.hirocks.com/pages/894239/index.htm
  11. Best way to get things under control

    The best way is to keep the water quality. Sound like you did. Add more cleaning crew like snail, hermit crabs, fish. I have a lawn mower blenny. Man, that is the best fish. Very funny to watch and good alleagy cleaner too.
  12. poisonous fish. how do you maintain your tank?

    I got stung by Lion once. it hurts like hell.... Like a bee sting. Normally, they would respect your job (cleaning) unless you want to know what it likes to be stung :D :D
  13. Fish only help

    Well, I think this is nothing to do with water quality. Obviously, your fish got sick. 2 of them die and possively more to come. You need to setup quarantine tank to treat for sick fish. Don't treat for desease in your tank..... I have this happened to me and that what I did. On the side...
  14. Starting a reef tank (soft corals)

    Well, this is kinda obivous but important sidenote. Don't add your skimmer during reclyling the tank. I would say the first 3 or 4 months. The skimmer will take out all the goodie stuff that is required for your jumping starts. Just remember to do a quick research on your fish/coral...
