this was hashed out last year... hth http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... highlight=

I was a cop for several years and I even got jokes from other officers wondering what "that glow was"? I got accused of growing pot on a regular basis, all in fun of course.

I too have done the same thing. I had a good friend who swore by the stuff. He was in reefkeeping for over 20 years. However, I believe a good way to 'seed' your tank would be to get a real good piece of coraline covered rock and put a powerhead in front of it to spread the spores about your...

Ya I had one do that a few years back.. It is real nasty. The only real way to get them out is put a plastic bag in the water over them then scoop them out in it. I suppose you could 'suck' one up also with some tubing into a bucket...these things smell nasty as well!

What the heck happened? :?: The colt was looking fone for the past month ..them wham I come home today and it is nothing but a pile of slime! i immediately fot it out of the tank and put carbon on, I checked my levels and all are within acceptable limits.... However my brain isnt opening as...

ok stupid question here......so If you are in S CA how hot will your garage get during the summer? I would immaging you would have to run a chiller, WIMO will again increase elect cost. I know its none of my bussiness but if the tank was in the home instead of the garage you would have more...

Where are you at? It seems a little high for $100.00 just for that stuff. I ahve a 150 with 2x250's and pretty much the same other stuff as you, plus 2 kids that cant seem to turn off anyhting...My electric bill is only $125.00 a month for the whole house!

I can get IO buckets $34.95.....Sometimes if I go in there looking for like a test kit or some fish food...he will give me an opened one for like a buck..or he has even given me a box of test kits before(ph). I will support my LFS as much as I can for the great service I get

But why did it take 3 weeks? I figured that once I got over the 1st week I was ok..........This was my 1st SPS so I am learning with these......They are adicting!

Ya the frag is new..about 3 weeks old. It was doing just fine until this afternoon. It was never in the LFS tank. I was there when it came in and got it then. Hopefully all will be fine thanks!

Ok I fragged off the top good portion that was still nice and blue. I placed in on the bottom in the sand. It should get sufficient likght for a few days there running the 250's. Should I have used a gel superglue instead of the putty? I gouldnt find a place it stayed upright that is why I...

so should I watch it a few more days or take immediate action? How should I 'cut' the bad part off?

Today after comming home and looking at my tank I noticed my Acro at the base where it was glued to a rock with aquarium putty is now white. the rest of the acro looks fine and polyps are extended. Could the use of the putty have caused this? Its been in the tank for 3 weeks now and today is the...

Have you tried a LARGE water change?

:lol: Must be nice! :lol: I have to chane my prefilters/Carbon Monthly or every month and a half and the DI about every 4 months or so... :?
