I posted the link a few days ago. :-) Do a search for casette. B

I wasn't stating that dyeing them wasn't without ill affects. Just pointing out the fact that it happens quite a bit in the industry and if you see something that's a nice gorgeous fluorescent color, it might not be natural. Most people I know like to know if a coral has been dyed so they can...

I think most leathers are fragged by just cutting off a section/arm and gluing it onto a piece of rubble. You should be able to 'prune' it back, and sell off the frags. I haven't done any fragging though, so I can't tell you exactly how it's done. You should be able to find lots of info on...

There are red gonioporas that are a nice reddish/purple, but it's not super bright. I don't know how they go about dying them, but there are several types that get dyed more than others. Cups, gonionpora, alveopora, are the ones I see all the time. Sebae anemones are often dyed. But I...

Don't worry too much about the watts-per-gallon rules. It's pretty well established that this isn't an effective measure of how much light you need. B

Over on MARSH there was a post that said he has cancer, that he's getting treatment for it, and should recover fully, but that the treatments are taking a lot out of him, so he's not able to work as much as he'd like. My wife and I went through this with her breast cancer for almost a year and...

According to the specs for your camera over on dpreview, your cameras macro focus range starts at 10cm. So anything closer to the lens than that is going to be blurry. Luckily that's an easy fix, just pull the camera back a bit. :-) The macro function should be a little flower icon. I...

That sounds about right, although there have been a few times when coral beauties went up to about $45-$50. The most expensive place in town routinely has them priced that high, and when everyone else went up to that level they were selling them for $70. It was a weird 3-4 month span about a...

A surface skimmer is generally required to help get rid of it. The easiest mod for a cube out there is the casette tape surface skimmer mod. Some folks recently have said that it didn't help much. The only reason I can think of that it wouldn't is the casette tape doesn't have 'teeth', so...

Mixing zoos and mushrooms and LPS is done all the time with no ill effects whatsoever. Very, very few people have a tank that's this strictly 'natural'. Nearly all of us have fish that come from entirely different oceans. I disagree very stongly that it's necessary to try to recreate a...

I love these guys. I may have to do some rearranging in the nanos so that I can clear enough space in the sandbed for one. The large one I had in my main tank got killed by my jawfish burying it in sand. B

Beautiful shot Dragon. I'm kinda stuck right now. My camera lens stopped working last weekend. It's under warranty, but it's taken a week just to get the ok from the warranty company for me to get estimates on getting it repaired. I don't know how long I'm gonna be without, but it's...

The types of coral and critters you want to keep is what determines the type of lighting you need. If you like frogspawn, torch, and mushrooms, then you don't need much light. If you want anemones, clams, and SPS, then you need lots of light. 28w is low for a 10g tank, which means you can do...

Look at the first pic upper left hand corner. It's a yellow tail damsel. The other damsel is a blue velvet damsel, but it probably got removed since the pics were taken since traxxi didn't mention it. B

How's your water temp with this setup? B

"[email protected]" is an email address, not a website, so you can't get to pics that way. What are you using to resize your pics? For the web your dpi should be 72. This should allow you to post decent sized pics without the file themselves being too big. For example with these two...

PC bulbs generally have nearly a 12 month effective lifespan. It's up to you. B

Different brands don't really matter. It should be fine. B

No, and mostly no. A skimmer that's allowed to run very wet, will pull enough water over time to get many things out of whack if you're not replacing the lost water with fresh top off water and supplements. However the key phrase is "over time".

You're both right. Scientists have been playing with zebrafish's genes for years to make them glow. Using jellyfish DNA, Coral DNA, and lighting bug DNA. These guys are not 'new' at all, just new to the aquarium industry Here's a link to an article detailing one of the latest ideas on...
