Re: INCYSOR RULES! I appreciate that you like my response, but Phishy's was equally important. If everyone spends time reading/researching this hobby thorougly before they even purchase anything, much less put water in the tank they'd save a lot of money and frustration. My wife and I...

What part of the country are you in? Are there any local reef/marine clubs near you. I've purchased/traded several small frags from local reefers. I got a much better deal than I would have online, and got to see what I was choosing in person. I've also bought large mushroom rocks, and the...

:lol: I've only had to do it twice. The firs time was to fit big honking piece in my tank, and another time was to get a very small leather off a very large piece of rock that I didn't have room for in one tank. I used a chisel to knock about 3/4 of the rock away from the leather and it fit...

Re: update on tank First I agree with Phishy. Regardless of what additives you use to speed up a new tanks cycle it still takes time, and you need to be patient. I wouldn't add anything else to your tank for another couple weeks at least, and then only if your diatom bloom is gone for...

"RTN" - Rapid Tissue Necrosis Here's a good article concerning it. I've normally seen the term used in regards to SPS corals, but I think it's a good description of what it'll look like if your plate deteriorates. http://www.reefs.org/library/talklog/eb_jl_111598.html SM's suggestion of an...

Post your 450x600 or smaller images of any corals, or polyps, mushrooms etc.. eating. You know polyps extended, sweeper tentacles out, shrooms closed up on food etc.. Here's one I took last night of my smaller sun polyps.

A couple of my emerald crab that I took last night.

Re: funny guy No problem. No one told me that my PC bulbs would start losing their punch after 6 months, so I was going by the manufacturers info and figured I had at least a year. I nearly lost my bubble coral because I was on month 10 or 11 and hadn't changed them yet. I hate to see it...

LOL....I'm glad I can help guys. I do like having faces to go with the screen names. Glad you guys put yours up. B

Re: update on tank How are you acclimating the fish? Dripline? Float and release? Both of these fish are usually pretty hardy. Did you buy them from the same place? Same time, or different times? B

LOL....I just hadn't noticed the memberlist button before. Once you look at the list it has the number right beside the name. B

I hope it works. It is/was difficult to tell how much room there is from the angle of the pics. You'll have to post some more pics once you rearrange. B

Re: i wonder.... According to the list you're 219. B

Steven, There are tons of threads, and articles on lighting on the larger boards. I don't have any specifics on how fast PC bulbs lose their effectiveness. I'm sure I could spend a couple hours looking for you, but you're a big boy so I'm not gonna. :lol: Really, unless you are trying...

Mike, Honestly I don't think that your plate is likely to do great if it keeps being stung. I went back and looked at your pics again, and from the angle of the pics it seems you just need to re-arange your rockwork a bit, or get a bit more so that you stack the corals a bit so they're not...

Yeah, it sucks that he's going out. It seems messed up that with the number of crappy stores around some of the good ones are going under.

LOL...I had a friend that had a tank when I met him, but he only knew of 2 stores in town. For his B-day I took him an an all-day-tour, and gave him $50 to spend. We started with Tropical Fish Depot, hit Neptunes, then went up 45N to B&B, then over to Aquatic World on Jones RD, skipped...

Hmmm...Well obviously you can't increase the overall flow beyond the capacity of your overflow, but you could put a small powerhead in the main area of the fuge to help with water movement, which will take care of the issue if it's just a lack of current that's causing your algae issues. If...

I haven't seen them pick at corals, but then I don't have SPS. It's possible that they'll pick at that, but most of the negative things I've read about them with SPS has been about their perching on the coral keeping the polyps from extending. If you don't keep SPS in your tank, and you don't...

They often have a somewhat different selection from the rest of the stores. Especially inverts, and smaller fish. I generally like to hit them and Fish Land on the same trip, since they're fairly close to one another.
