WOW! that's some high alk! what brand test kit are you using?

i'm not sure how those things work, not many people use de-nitrifiers. suffecient amounts of live rock, a good skimmer, and regular water changes should be enough IMO. how high are your nitrates? do you have a fish only, or a reef tank? this will help determine where your nitrate levels should...

It dang sure wasn't my genius thinking that came up with that. there's a very long thread on DIY rock on RC.

I used rock salt on my DIY rock to get pores and crevices. it worked out pretty nice. I used the toilet to cure the rock. it only took about a month. (my kids flush the toilet a lot) It could have been less than a month, thats just how long it was before I took it out and tested it. It's been...

Nice score Yote! I see your photography skills haven't changed :mrgreen: I thought it was a millipora too.

very nice setup. out of curiosity, since you are in england, is that 100 imperial gallons? or us gallons? which is greater? by comparing the size of the fish (if they are grown) that tank looks huge.

lets see more. I have been itching to build a 90 gallon and I would love to get some ideas.

thanks biff, I hoped someone more smarter and a better speller would chime in :)

ahem, I said I only got CAUGHT once!

do a search for foramorafins (spelling?) there are tons of different types of them. they are harmless filter feeders.

I wouldn't worry too much about calcium supplementation at first. just wait and see what the demand will be. you may be surprised at how little the calcium drops between water changes. I know I was. my 55 gallon is now sps dominant, with a couple colonies and a ton of frags, a few lps and lots...

(giggle) I got caught "dating" myself once when I was a teenager.

sorry, I don't know of any great news about carpet anemones. they have been known to eat there host clown. with most anemones, proper lighting and a secure place to put their foot will keep them from moving around.

awesome shark doc! what's the sharks name on that cartoon where he pretended to be a dolphin?

welcome back to the hobby! do you think you can fix up my tank like that?

how long have you had the peppermints doc? mine stayed hid out for the first month or two. hell, I forgot they were even in there. but once they started coming out the aiptasia dis-appeared.

yes, there are two large heads, and 4 or 5 smaller ones. I have noticed what looks like feeder tentacles extended late in the evening before the lights go out. hopefully they will rebound and get some color back to them. I had pretty good luck with the half dead trumpet that I rescued several...

I just got my first acan last week. for free! of course it is bleached (which is why the lfs gave it too me) getting bleached corals is exciting to me. It's like a box of chocolats, you never know what color you're going to get. :)

congratulations, you have aiptasia! grap a pepperment shrimp or two. they'll have 'em ate in no time.

I just recently tried one. he lived for 2 weeks. he ate like a champ at the lfs. I brought him home and he wouldn't eat anything but my nacarrious snails. once they were gone. he kicked the bucket.
