I would say it is Ecsenius fourmanoiri Allen

I've used a brand called Z-Spar for that purpose. It is very sticky and cures very hard and strong. Downside: only comes in 2-quart kits for about $70. It works better than anything else I've used though. Allen

With the name "Red Green" I really expected it to be wearing a flannel shirt and hunting cap. 8) Allen

IMAC started the year that there was a question whether MACNA would go on or end forever. Obviously, it has continued. The International moniker was used to distinguish it from MAC. I believe it was started by the Chicago reef club and spearheaded by Dennis Gallagher. The conference has...

I'd guess it's an Astreopora myriophthalmia.

It's 400 gal, 8ft long. The ends, which are where the Streams are and where Vortechs would have to go are only 3/4" with the front and back 1". I have 1/4" black acrylic inside the glass on the ends though so it's still 1" total. I don't have any recent pics. I had a crash a bit over a year...

At MACNA they said the Vortechs put out about 3000 gph, same as 6100 Streams are rated for. They also said they compared both "side by side" and the Vortech actually had a higher flow than the Stream. Of course, hardly an unbiased tester. The one problem for me (other than the fact I already...

Yup, I noted 2 fish in my first post. Henry Schultz' AAOL article awhile back on pipefishes was very helpful. Allen

How about a red morph of Solenostomus cyanopterus. Allen

Don't know what they are but looks like a couple of sea dragons of some sort.

None of the salts is "best" in regard to every metal, which makes it hard to compare. Some metals may be much more toxic than others so a salt that is high in a more toxic component may be worse than a salt that is high in 2 or 3 less toxic metals. I did a little tally myself, just for a rough...

I suppose you want to know the species of flounder, or is flounder good enough? Allen

Don't drive through Arizona! They'll likely stop you at the border with anything live in the vehicle (just as California does in the other direction).

This doesn't necessarily help at all. I started using Phosban because of a turf algae outbreak even though my phosphates (and nitrates too) were always undectable (Salifert test kit). The theory is that the algae can take up the nutrients at a lower level than we can detect so they are sucked...
