    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Can't say for sure, but he surely was acting normal. Swimming all over, not hiding, eating, and cleaning. Not behaviors usually associated with that, but who know.

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    She was feeding you crap. It isn't because there isn't algae. Like Kevin said above, its a combo of things, but mostly transport. Once settled in they are good to go for the most part. I know many people that have no problem with them. I was just surprised because it was eating like crazy when i...

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Let the flame wrasse and sunset anthias out of the acclimation box. No aggression at all, in fact all my fish were out and about more than ever after those two were released into the tank. I am very relieved by this because my male Resplendent has been quite aggressive to other new additions of...

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Ya, I was talking Ecotech. Hydor's take up too much space and leave cords in the tank, plus they don't vary flow like vortech's, so whatever I add with be some form of vortech.

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Not sure this is possible or how much it would cost, plus it would proly affect performance and possible ruin the pump. I really have no clue, but magnets aren't cheap and by the time I bought 2 new magnets and a mp10 it would be creeping on buying a mp40. I have decided to hold off until I get...

    Ordering fish online

    No need to shop anywhere else. You will pay more for a worse product with a worse guarantee. It's the only online store I will shop at. People love Pacific Island Aquatics, but myself and others I know have had bad experiences with them. Diver Tom's actually not too bad, but how many people want...

    Diving in large tanks/ponds?

    I would carefully rinse off before diving in a tank, but you shouldn't have any problems. I know someone with a 20k gallon reef tank that he dives in to clean glass and place corals.

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Yikes! That's no good. If a 100gpd unit gives you 80gpd don't you have 80gpd? Where is the other 40 gallons going?

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Guess I didn't mention it, but yes there was copper in the cup of QT water that went into the display. Everything is starting to come back color wise and I am actually noticing some good growth on a few corals, so maybe I wasn't changing enough water before either and some trace elements were...

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Well I haven't lost anything so far and everything seems to be turning around a bit. I see growth on a lot of corals that still look bleached and crappy, so that is a good sign. Hopefully everything makes a full recovery. The lemon juice doesn't seem to be working, I think it just pissed off...

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    So I finally think I am ready to talk about it.... I made an epic mistake the night I put the Chevron and Bellus into the tank. Biggest mistake of my saltwater "career". I didn't do any sort of acclimation when transferring the two fish. My QT is kept at approximately the same temperature and...

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Attempted to kill some aiptasia today with lemon juice. I would call it a partial success, though time will tell if I end up with even more baby ones. Seems like the ones I didn't pump a ton of juice into are still alive, just agitated. The ones I really got good are dead I believe. Also, I...

    My 210 FOWLR Turned Reef

    Just did some tank maintenance including cleaning my return pump for the first time in a long time. I was starting to have cyano creep into the tank in spots which I have not had at all before. That is when I noticed my flow through my overflow had slowed considerably. Pulled the return pump off...

    most expensive fish ever

    So if they are protected and you aren't allowed to collect one, how do you legally possess one? It is Blue Harbor. I know the Clarions that have been collected have been outside of the protected areas where they normally reside. I guess Ballinae could be the same, but there is such a huge...

    want to get rid of aipatsia

    This way works well to "control" the population, but will never eliminate it as you are trying to do.
