    Help Required from Fellow Reefers!!!

    Temp is at a consistent 77 degrees. Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates all come out at 0. I get the RO water from a Water Windmill, I do need to invest in an RO system, but for the time being the last check that was done on the RO water TDS was minimal and I have tested for Ammonia, Nitrites...

    Help Required from Fellow Reefers!!!

    Okay, I will invest in getting a refractometer, that's no problem. Outwith the Salinity proposal, do you have any thoughts on what it may be? What else should I test for in the RO water going in? I'm testing for Phosphates., Nitrates, and PH.

    Help Required from Fellow Reefers!!!

    I know I am probably late in sending this email, but I thought I could take care of this problem myself. Over the period of a few months, my zoas have died off, my shrooms have receded to the point that they are about the size of a nickel, my Favia is slowly losing growth and the skeleton is...

    Feather Duster Worms? Good or Bad?

    This is not a pic of eactly what I have in my tank, but they are pretty close, except mine have a kind of stripe through them. They retract easy enough when something gets close. Also, I have a good amount of this under my LR. One question, these things are popping up everywhere and I...

    Will Banded Coral shrimp eat my other shrimp?

    Greg, that truly sucks. Remember one of the first things I spoke about when you came over? It was the fact that my CB was killing off all my fish, get rid of him and you should be okay. Brent

    Wow, so I am sitting on the couch and I glance over at my tank and I see a couple of puffs of smoke in the same area of the tank. I'm like WTF?? Thinking that maybe an electrical fault has occured behind the tank and I am seeing things through the tank. So I jump up and check it out and I...

    Fortunately I have not seen him munching at them, but will keep a lookout. I give him plenty of Nori and Caulerpa to munch on so he should be fine. Thanks for all the compliments guys, as I said I am a complete novice coming into this, but with the helps of the likes of ya'll, I will get to...
