    Frag Swap yesterday....

    I have never been to a frag swap before. How does it work? I really got nothing to swap. The only think I could would be my HUGE Green Start Polyp. Can you just go and browse or buy? How are they organized or where would I find out there is one near me? I would love to get local frags rather...

    lost leg

    Well, no stray voltage, nitrates are zero, temp has been constent. I am going to do water changes once a week for a while instead of overy 2 to 3 weeks. Maybe that will help. Other than the leg, the star looks healthy. Everything else seems healthy. Thanks for the responses and direction.

    lost leg

    I noticed this morning that my star fish has lost a leg. I do not see it in the tank and I only have three larger things in the tank, a clown fish (tank raised percula) britle star and this star. I have some various snails also. What could have caused this? Yes, I am working on getting rid of...

    How wide should the slot for the plactic mesh be? Just wide enough to fit the plastic in or wider (how much?)?

    Keeping clowns

    One of the 2 clowns I have died today. Got sucked into the overflow and trapped. Probably that same one I post the pic of a couple months ago. Now that I have just one will it be fine or should I get another to have a pair? Thanks - Joe

    What are these?

    +1 knuclehead I would pull out the algae and leave the sponge. It should not be a problem.

    Dreamwalk's 10gal Nano

    WOW!!! $12 a pound. That is crazy. I thought $5.50 was high. I will count myself lucky. If anyone needs some maybe I can work with my LFS for some discounts. They have a ton of very nice LR right now. I was in there on Friday and bought 5 pounds of some smaller pieces of Fiji.

    Dreamwalk's 10gal Nano

    +1 SeaBee that is a steal of a price. With shipping 10 pounds is 36 bucks to my door. Do the math, $3.60 a pound vs $5.50 a pound at my LFS. I may order some after Christmas.

    Mega Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover - DIY!

    I saw that. Thanks. Due to very limitted space I put it in my sump. What i may have to do is build a box and put it next to my stand. It will have to look like furniture if I do it this way. My wife hates the clutter around the tank. OR... I build a stand for my 55 I have in the basement and...

    Mega Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover - DIY!

    Ok, thanks. I have 2 lights on it, a 2300K on one side and a 6700K on the other both are about 23 watts. Should I cover the sump with tinted or dark plastic? I will clean one side of he plastic tonight like SantaMonica suggests.

    Mega Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover - DIY!

    OK, need some advice and direction. I have a 5 inch wide plastic cloth with 135 GPH pump and I am growing a brownish green slim. In my sump I have a large outbreak of green hair algae. Is this normal or do I have a problem that needs correction? Joe

    Herbie Overflow Plumbing

    I had a noise problem and I built this. It greatly reduced the noise, did not affect the flow rate and by the design would be almost impossible to clog.

    What can I...

    What can I keep in the fuge area of my sump? I was thinking of some snails but before I do, I wanted to check with you all to make sure I do not screw anything up. I have a 10 gal sump with three areas. Water enters an area of LR rubble and some cheato, moves to the center where my algae...

    Very interesting work RC. How is it looking now? A couple days ago you said it was looking pretty bad. Were you getting an algae breakout of some sort? Cloudy water? Just curious. Thanks for your diligent work on this. Good job!:Cheers:
