I am finally sinking some money into a RODI system. I am just tired of going and getting water, and although I also need a new protein skimmer, this irritates me more. So what do you recommend?

Took a bit of a break for a while. I still have my set up but havent been active on forums for a loooong time. How is everyone?

Been off on my own side of the world for a while and working my a$$ off so I figured I would treat myself. So I redid my entire tank: 24x24x24 Rimless Starphire Cube 20 gal sump Eheim Return rump, heater, auto feeder JBJ ATO 100+ lbs Live Rock New lights, but I confess I cant remember...

So EVERYTHING was fine in my tank. Until Christmas Eve, I noticed my Green SPS was bleaching, and rapidly at that. I admit Ive been ridiculously busy during the holidays so I neglected testing like I should. So I tested everything and my phosphates were above 20, I did a 50% water change, and...

A couple of weeks ago I found one insainly small nudi on my joker zoas. Not happy so I plucked it off and flushed it. Then today I found 2 more. they are ridiculously small, (thats actually the size of them on my finger nail) and I need to know what to get to kill them. I never had a problem...

I bought quite the frag pack from Fastrd right after Thanksgiving. Hand delivered to me, and they are more beautiful then I thought they would be!!! I cant wait to buy more!!! So without further adieu here they all are. Now I forget some of the names so Wade, with your superior moderating...

Im not sure what he thinks he is doing. Or why he is doing it. But my goby sneak attacks my snails. My dwarf ceriths to be exact. He hides behind a rock and then out of nowhere comes out picks one up in his mouth and disappears behind the rock work. He has done this SEVERAL times now. Can anyone...

I have been doing a 25% WC every week on my tank since I put it up. I have had zero problems with it and everything is thriving so I am hesitant to change anything. Currently I am 2 days past due for a WC and my levels are as follows: Calcium: 440 KH: 9 Phosphate: 0.0 Nitrate: 0.0...

I went to the LFS on Friday. I am very happy to introduce you to the new guys in the tank. If anyone can tell me what the zoa is, be my guest :) My Yuma 008 by EspysWife, on Flickr 006 by EspysWife, on Flickr My zoa of unknown species 004 by EspysWife, on Flickr

About a month ago, well actually more like 2 at this point I seeded my tank with pods. I am happy to announce that tonight while staring into the tank I noticed them all over the place!!! The crowning jewel of my tank will be my mandarin when I get him in there. I had to stop myself from buying...

I was at my LFS today and after spending an eternity agonizing over what I wanted to put into my tank for some color, the great guy that works there gave me some beautiful baby Joker Zoas. I will put up pictures soon :) I also bought a little cleaner shrimp to go in there. He seems very happy...

Staring lovingly into my tank tonight I came across a very nasty surprise. Hydroids. I am so utterly pissed. When I started looking I noticed that they are all OVER a few of my smaller pieces of rock. I am posting a couple of pictures of them, sorry they arent overly clear....but they were the...

Well the tank has been up since July 7th. I have just NOW finally gotten it to where I would consider it a stable healthy place. I will get some pictures on this thread when the water clears (just did a water change) but my phosphates are continuing to go down, they are at 0.25 for the 2nd week...

I have two things in my tank that I have no idea what they are or what they do, so I am coming to figure it out. This first picture, there were just a couple, not many but now they are everywhere. They grew pretty fast let me tell you!! The fish dont really bother them and they dont bother me...

Yesterday I noticed what looked like a little bit of algae on the glass. Today I am sure that it is cyano. I am putting up some pictures just to be sure that it is in fact cyano but I have a few questions. Why is it showing up all of the sudden?? The only thing that has gotten a bit high lately...
