Regular air line tubing works for me. The IN line goes to the connector with the PVC pipe. HTH

It looks like one the frags I'd traded to John G. a couple years back. Mine is a montipora and grows quite fast under high light.

I've had two of my BTA (a rose one and a green one) splitted. One occurred during a drastic salinity change, from 1.030 to 1.025. The other one happened when the BTA was transferred to a new tank. Both of the BTA's were healthy prior to the splits. IMHO, stressors caused the splits since two...

Unless the temp of your water is at the extreme ends, the refractometer's ambien temp (assuming you keeping it at room temp of about 75F)should be more than enough to equalize the temp from a couple drops of water. I don't think waiting for 30 sec would make a difference. JMO.

I have a Blueface angel which had similar symtomp last week. Following Jenn's advice (Thanks, Jenn), I did a 5 min FW dip but also treated the fish for 3 days with Maracyn II( at daouble the dose). The fish is now back in the quarantine tank with much clearer(almost back to normal) eyes. No...

Hi, I got one of the 1/2" motorized 3 way ball valve from the same man ([email protected]) on eBay. I got mine for about $80. I hooked it up to a DPDT relay switch from McMaster and it has been working wonderful for the past 7 mos. I have not seen him listed the valve on eBay lately. Another...

I visited John's place a couple weeks ago and got a few frags from him. One of which is similar to the one above. His price is very reasonable and his frags are very healthy. Also, John is a pretty nice guy . JME

I second Dr. Mac's Top Pick colonies. I haven't much luck with Cquarium, most of the time the colonies came in DOA or soon after. Steve Tyree at http://www.dynamicecomorphology.com/ also has some very nice stuffs. JME. HTH

Hi Sue, Could you save a frag of the A. abrolhensis for me? The tank actually looks much better than the photos.

pss.. pss.. fmx2md it's "donned" not "dawn" the uniform.

The two types of acrylic which Todd mentioned were cell cast and extruded. The cell cast type is more expensive and of better quality. IME 1/4" thickness works better. If you can find it locally, another place you can check is www.usplastic.com. They have very good price for acrylic tubing...

I have ordered mangroves from several sources. The cheapest source is Ebay, about $1 a piece. However, the ones from Ebay do not have many leaves. IME the best way to acclimate them is leave them in a pot of aged fresh water in a partially shaded area until their roots are more developed...
