Thanks for the for the reply. I feel much better about my purchase, it is such a beutiful animal, I would hate to have to see it go. I did try to feed it last night buy it rejected everything I gave it. I started with chopped krill, it worked at that for a minute or 2 then spit it out. So I...

I hope this is not considered hijacking a thread but since it was this thread that talked me into buying a tube anemone I thought it would be the best place to post. As mentioned I purchased a tube anemone last night. It is currently in my 10G tank waiting on my 30G to cycle. Once the 30g...

Wow, that is what it is. that would explain the white and red blob on my live rock with the "sweepers" as well. i just thought my sarc had fragged itself. thanks everyone

Sorry, another stupid question. What exactly should I be looking for on AAOM. I did a search on sweepers and found 2 articles and neither had the info I am looking for. I also looked through the magazine articles and did not see any topics that sounded like what you were talking about...

never mind the AAOM question. If I would just open my eyes I would have figured it out. Thanks I will do some searching. SM

That is what I figured about the smell but it was just so potent that I could not imagine I could not have smelled it in the last 2 months. My hands stunk even after I washed thme with soap. Sorry to sound stupid but what is AAOM. BTW I love your signature. The first day I got my Xenia I...

That is the one thing that I have heard about the JEBO, Several people have mentioned the original bulbs they got went out in a few days. Others said all was fine. I may take my chances with the 130. Thanks SM

I came home from work today and noticed my Sarc looked kind of funny the polups were just kind of limp. It was time for my weekly water change so I thought that may have soemthing to do with it. I also read somewhere that sometimes zoos putout some kind of chemical that bothered the...

Yeah that 20+ year thing made me chuckle but I assumed everyone changed there bulbs yearly because they lost there spectrum and he was just refering to the fact that, that bulb would continue to put out light for a long time. I will definetly not get that setup. I was acutally looking to get a...

What do you mean by "it dosnt even say what type of mh it is". I was not aware that there were different types. What type do I need for a reeftank? I know there are differnt K rating and I just assumed this one would not be the proper K and that I would need to buy a different bulb to repace...

ahh yes the link would help wouldnt it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=58144&item=7513723660&rd=1

I was wondering if the following MH light would be ok for a 29G Reef tank or if it is over kill, would 1 or 2 of these be ok for a 75 G tank. If not could you explain why and what I need to look for. TIA

I have a question for your response Wazzle, not because I think you are wrong just because I do not understand this and it has always puzzled me. If he has a tank with nothing but LR and LS that has now fully cycled and there is nothing else in the tank such as fish or corals to produce fresh...

You are right about the Coraline on the back glass it just recently like in the last week started to show on the back glass and the Filter. Actually once it showed up on the filter it started growing rapidly. Now one thing I noticed about my coraline is that it has white spots on it. like if...

I have not had a chance to I will try to do that tonight. As far as what type of salt I use, I am acutally not sure I buy all my water from the LFS so it is premixed. I will ask them while I am up there tonight. I am also confued by the little to no coraline growth. I thought I had a lot of...
