i coach xcountry in the fall, wrestling all winter and we do a lot of camping/hiking/bicycling in the summer. i also have a little garden pond with koi and do a little gardening/yard scaping

thanks jesse and erik :) wow ed your zoa forest always amazes me. all the frags seem to have spread some but yeah i see what you mean, they don't seem as happy as many of your others - the color change i imagine is due to them adjusting to your lighting. i suspect though that one day they will...

hey ed good hearing from you again - been a while, and yeah your zoas are doing great - they loved the day i moved them from the nano to the 125 well 1 more pic then i'm done for a while again. the saga continues in the conversion to SPS. i finally have a scape i can be happy with for awhile so...

:)

ummm wow!

here is the 9 month transition july 06 to today - from mixed garden to almost there SPS tank http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e86/j ... 685408.pbw

hmmm... this has gotten a bit off your original question - i will simplify it. 1) water; if your going to mix your own you will likely need an RO unit and good quality salt like reef crystals - but you may be able to buy premixed water from your local pet store. and yes you need a hydrometer...

it works - i too have done it but its a PITA and the success rate is lower. you get a much better bond if you can take the rock out and do it out of water. but if you have to do it under water - say your glueing to a base rock or the back glass: put a good portion of gel type super glue on the...

if you really want it gone, take the rock out poke something into the holes and try to chase it out, if that don't work do a freshwater dip and try again.

thanks, yeah i really got lucky with that one i went to get some basic supplies but couldn't pass this one up - one of the prettiest acros i've ever seen! colors don't show up right it has very baby blue tips:

agreed - that is so cool makes me want to try it OK who's next

i'm not sure the "sleeper" gobies will readily pair with a shrimp

its cool to see the polyps out all ready - but the tips do look a bit beat up from the bags - it may take a while before they start growing and color up again. i can't wait to see what your t-5's do for them the LA is actually their "blueberry tipped staghorn" acro A. kirstyae...

bump - come on lets see your fav

yeah i've gotten some really nice zoas from ed - thanks again ed the ones in the middle are one of my favs i was doing some cleaning this morning and had my granulosa sitting next to the glass so i thought i should take a pic: i know i have a lot of pics of this thing posted - but it is my...

sorry just me thinking out loud: i've run tanks BB, SSB, DSB, with and without sump, with and without skimmers, with filtration and without any, with and without carbon, with most forms of lighting, from 10 gal - 125 gal, and they all worked and had pros and cons................ i'm a science...

added a zoa and a LPS show this morning

i have basically removed all but small colonies of my favorite zoas in the change over but i realized i hadn't given ed an update lately on his zoa rock: here it is today: the beauties: when i got them from ed:

amazing - you need to share a few photography secrets with us

if i'm understanding what your asking the simple answer is no kalk needs to be dripped on a daily basis. the chemistry behind this is deep but basically slowly dripped (at night preferable) allows the most Ca and best buffering if you add it directly to your water change water it will mess up...
