    How to get rid of aiptasia?

    Look very closely on the white tubes you are talking about, they are feather dusters usually but the "feathers" are just very transparent, otherwise they are the worms that release the spider webs

    dimmable ballasts for MH

    I knew that controller could probably do it, just stinks that they don't have a ballst that could do it. You could always get 400 watt ballasts with 250s right beside it and then 175s as well and then just overlap the timers. Lol just a thought! You would think with everything else they have in...

    Iodine?

    Iodine is very quickly removed from the system through skimming and carbon filtration. Also alot of things uptake iodine like calcareous algaes, shrimps and crabs as well as corals. I have always dosed iodine and had no I'll effects. I do t ever though dose what they say. Just every couple of...

    Rinsing out spirulina

    I thaw all the foods in a cup, except like the frozen bar of Cyclopeeze (Which all gets stuck in a net). I thaw everything in RO/DI water, and then drain and the food goes into a net. Then I softly squeeze the food in the net to try and get most of the water out. Next, I put it all back in a...

    Zoos vs Palys?

    I sort of spot feed everything, I use a turkey baster with all foods including phyto and zoo plankton and spray it over all corals specifically.

    I have no luck keeping fish alive

    To eliminate your stray voltage concern...try some new power strips that run all equipment. I truly think this is one thing that rarely gets talked about as needing to be replaced. I replace all power strips once a year, because the saltwater destroys them, and I have shocked my self enough in...

    I have no luck keeping fish alive

    Okay, I am really surprised that you no one else caught this at all! You said in like your third post that you had a COWFISH in the tank for a while that died! Well when a COWFISH DIES, they can release a toxin that can wipe out your tank! This toxin can stay in your tank and kill the next fish...

    Zoos vs Palys?

    That is what I was going to say the only real difference I knew of was that zoas propagate all connected where palys will have seperate buds. But "Although species identification may be difficult from external observation,they do have divided sphincter muscle surrounding the oral opening" LOL...

    dimmable ballasts for MH

    Putter--I see where you are going with this and Just want to say I like your style...I have never thought about that and that would be cool. The coralvue ballasts are dimmamble, and the Prolifux controller will pretty much make your fish a private sushi dinner if you want it to. I would call the...

    Rinsing out spirulina

    I rinse all frozen foods as well for a couple of reasons: First: Being that as with any living creature, when they die, they release body waste etc, and it is high in phosphates. Which why not get rid of that source? So many people pay for Rowaphos but dump phosphates right back in... Secondly...

    which test kits

    I agree the API Test kits work fine in my experience. Maybe if you were using special systems such as the Zeovit system or Neo-Zeo methods I would want a couple of the higher test kits for like Magnesium and phosphates but APIs get you close enough. Just as a side note, say your API Calcium...

    Vivid Aquariums

    I have personally been to the Store Vivid Aquariums and it is amazing and looks just like the pictures on their site. They have the store part and then behind it is just a wharehouse of tanks. The staff was all helpful, and ready to answer any questions. The store is just north of Downtown LA...

    Justin's 125 build

    And David great to see you on here as well. By the way the frag you gave me is doing very well. The thing I always didnt like is that everyone on the other site thinks everyone is loaded and can afford the newest BubbleKing and if you dont have it, your tank is going to be crap! Also, the people...

    Wow, Justin you are moving quick, and really wish I could learn how to wire stuff up without using the typical twist caps. LOL What I am most excited about is this was the most posts I have seen for tucson in 3 months! I guess I am on the wrong site. Cant wait to see it up and running fully!!
