Thanks!

I noticed that after about 3 years of use, my metal stand is developing some rust spots. Being under a 120 gallon tank, obviously that's of some serious concern!! Right now they are on the surface of the metal, but I'm worried about it spreading and comprimising the strength of the stand. How...

Thanks! It's some type of encrusting montipora.It started out green, but under my lights turned to a pale purple with yellow rims.

Long time no see! Some new pics...

It came from Aqua Dreams - I have no grudge against them, I think it's just one of those suck things. It's really a great, very responsible store, I've had lots of luck with them. Thanks Little - always a bummer to lose a little guy...

I euthanized by beloved tang, Hector. He was my absolute favorite fish and a total sweetheart. I'm really sad about it! My purple tang, who is a gorgeous specimen still isn't eating and is breathing heavy. But he seems a little stronger, I'm hoping (but not optimistic) that he'll pull through...

Unfortunately, not much - relatively open system, just observed for 2-3 weeks before sale. I'm just worried about the two tangs now - they are being very lethargic and not eating. Not sure if there's much that's practical for me to do besides a WC.

So, I got a copperband from the LFS the other day, where he had been QT'd for 2 weeks. After acclimating him to my tank (alas, I have no QT set up), he dropped dead within 24 hours. Now, 3 days later, 2 of my 3 tangs (Purple and Convict) are acting weird. They are a little listless, not...

Long time no updates!

Bummer about the Nudi - it was cool. Tried raising mag?

A simple controller would only turn it on when it needs to be on.

Yup, pods. Nothing to worry about. Good sign.

Sorry to hear that, that's awful. It's DEF worth the expense to buy a ranco heater controller. I have two heaters on it, and it basically is two outlets w/a probe. If the temp goes too high (stuck on failure), it cuts the voltage. If it goes too low (heater fail), the other heater comes on...

Thanks guys - Yeah, the SPS is growing a little slow and a touch pale. Too much light, too little nutrients. Biopellets + UV + AI Trying to feed heavier and light a little less..

I want!!!!
