  1. Metrozonidale safe?

    Ok.. pardon the spelling of it if its wrong. My pair of clownfish seem to have come down with ich after introducing it via a royal gramma who perished 48 hours after arrival (mail order, I freshwater dipped before introducing to tank, perhaps not long enough?) In any event, I'm wondering if...
  2. How do you support your tank?

    Sorry all...that was supposed to be in the sump.. not in the general discussion area... dunno how it ended up here.... My faux paux. FWIW... yeah, I was hoping to make a sale or two :roll: If one of the mods could be kind enuf to move it to the sump, I'd appreciate it.. Didn't mean to...
  3. How do you support your tank?

    so...I've been thinking recently.. and seeing that I've been unemployed for a while, I'm now getting the urge to buy new things for my tank.. who doesn't right? BUT... no money = no new live rock or corals.... so I've come up with a decision to support one hobby with another... and I ask the...
  4. Can't get Calcium levels up?

    Ihave to agree with Jeff about the magnesium levels. I had a problem with my Ca levels staying steady, and after talking with Randy Homles-Farley he advised me to check the Mg level. Mine was around 600. Once I brought it up to 1400, I had no problem with maintaining my Ca. Hope this helps :-)

  7. You know your addicted when............

    ok...so its kind of off topic, but You know your addicted to reefing when you've got 4 message boards open on your computer at the same time. I'm sitting here, eating dinner in front of the computer, (yeah, I'm single) and just realized that I've got 4 internet explorer windows open with 4...

    *Mental Note* Avoid coffee houses next time I'm in Seattle.....
  9. I need an opinion........

    I was browsing through some websites...... Came across something I found incredibly interesting, and had a crazy thought. Carib-Sea makes a substrate called Thaitian Moon Sand, which is jet black..... I'm thinking a black substrate would look awesome in a clam tank! IMO, I think it'd make...
  10. Cure for RTN (Rapid Tissue Necrosis) -- Strontium?!

    I would guess to say that the strontium deficiency was the cause of your RTN, and by getting the level back up to NSW levels, it corrected your problem. That's not to say that strontium deficency is the SOLE reason for RTN however............ EDIT: I know you probably know this already, but...
