It's been a while since I have been on here. I Went back to the dark side (Saltwater) and I now have to make room in the tank. Here is a list of what I can frag at this time. ORA Blue Chalice Green CAP Blue/Green CAP Echinata galaxea Purple CAP Frags are $10 Each. Local pickup for now...

RO Water in a syringe will get them out of the rocks. Mantis shrimp will usually have a "Home Base" They live in. Shoot some RO Water in the hole and have a net Ready.

First picture is a damsel, but not sure exact sp. Second picture looks like a basslet of some sort. Hard to tell without a full body picture.

Hikari just came out with their Ich x SW version a few months ago. It is reef safe and seems to be the best reef safe med out there at the moment. It has Formaldehyde in it, which works great on Parasites. I have tested it on inverts and corals and everything has done well with it.

I did a search on them, but everything I found on here was a while ago. Has anyone kept them recently? If so please post your experience with them. I have a supplier with them, but have to buy them by the box or half box. Thanks in advance

Not Ich Looks like a color fade. Spots to big for ick and looks like it is more pigment related.

I believe the 24" bulbs are 29 watts each. Ideally you want 3-4 watts per gallon for a reef tank. I have used geisman bulbs in the past and I currently run wavepoint bulbs. You want to look at the lumens output of the bulbs you are using. I would look into a 4 bulb unit.

Flying it in is expensive. I have a supplier that flies it in every once and a while, but it is more expensive. If you get the box and the rock is black and smells like an ammonia factory, it was on a boat. I have never bought from them, so I do not know what they do. Not sure where in North...

Most likely you will not fit all 45 lbs in the cube, so the rest will be wasted. Depending on the rock type will determine the amount you can fit. I usually fit around 20 lbs of fiji rock in a 29 cube and around 15 lbs of Vanuatu Rock in the cubes. If you buy Fiji have it shipped fedex/UPS...

There is no more hood, so there is nowhere for the LED's to go. http://www.oceanicsystems.com/assets/008/27006_400wh.jpg Return pump is the same I run the fan 24/7

if you put in a 20K, I think you will be fine with most of the corals. The top is not open, it is glass. I have had no issue with the temp. There are no more bioballs, as they made that chamber for a fuge with the window in the back. Problem is most people put it up against a wall, therfore...

I have the new oceanic 29 HQI set up at my shop. It runs good and the corals seem to do well in the tank. Only thing I would do is change out the 14K with a 20K. 14K is to white for me. Honestly it will depend on what corals you want to keep. 90% of the corals do not need MH to look good.

Blue leg Hermits and Turbo snails and they should have it cleaned up in a day or two.

Sounds like clownfish disease (Brooklynella) Mimics Odinium, but the major difference is the thick slime coat on the fish. It can kill quickly if not caught in time. http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/ichparasiticdiseases/a/aabrooklynella.htm

What is Tank Size and other Tank Mates?

Here are a few ideas: Algae Blenny Diamond goby Scott's Velvet fairy wrasse Green banded goby Tail spot Blenny Dartfish Leopard wrasse are very hard to keep alive, so make sure the supplier has had it for a while and you see it eat good. I would get the damsel out, if you are going to put...

I'm not sure on the Aquacultured side on a commercial level. Obviously if hobbyist have them already, they will still be traded to other hobbyist. Let's face it though Aquacultured corals make up a small fraction of the corals in the trade at this time. If WC Sp were banned, then in theory the...

Thanks for the kind words. I'm always around to help if I can. I am far from being an expert in SW or FW for that matter, but I have learned the hard way more than once. I know what it is like to be so frustrated and want to pack it up, but thankfully I had friends around who stepped in and...

They say peppermint shrimp eat it, but in my experience you have to starve them to get them to eat it. Peppermint shrimp have also been know to eat corals from time to time, so you have to watch out for that. On the flipside copperband butterflies will eat aptasia, but will nip at corals...

Hey Ash I sent you a PM. I did not know the salt was Different. I have never used Petco salt, but you can mix up 5 gallons in a bucket and then test it and see if there are any nitrates or phos in it.
