MAN< YOU ARE A DIY MASTER!! That thing is AMAZING!! Love the black sand. It is all SO CLEAN!! What kind of skimmer is that... how many gallons of water total do you have? Jesse

Lets see, Ill start at the top. First thing, just make sure you are rinsing the sponge completely clean every few days. You'll want to thouroughly rinse the carbon too before you add it to the tank (you might already know this stuff, but just want to be sure!). I personally like a small...

Oh wow... so sorry. I experienced a HUGE loss the first time I left my tank for a vacation. I hope everything works out. :sad: Jesse

Yes, it would need to be above the tank. That brings up the biggest downfall of these things, and that is if the seal is broken, the enitre jug will empty out. For those with sumps though, that isnt a problem. My sump could quite easily handle the extra gallon of water, and the salanity...

First off, welcome. Secondly, Im sure you ahve read that these corals are one of a few that will die for no known reason. Due to your stated circumstances, I would say that this coral is just "ticked off". As long as you dont see the tissue receeding from the skeleton, it should be fine...

Well i live right up the coast from you... newport beach area. So if you ever want to sell some corals or even trade once my stuff grows out, just let me know! Ive been to that site a few times, its pretty cool. Jesse

they are probably either running a chiller on it, or like you said they are pumping fresh water in from the ocean. Jesse ps. I would LOVE to see pics of that setup

Look slike it was a great show!! Good to here from you Phischy... you're not around very often. Jesse

Glad it decided to open back up. You can tell it is dying when the purple base begins to turn pale and white. Jesse

Nonsense... that is what a sump/fuge is for!!! That is why so many people look at showing their sump as standing naked in public! Jesse

This may help you too... http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ... did=661601 Jesse

THe tube coming out of the top is set to the desired water level. Air is sucked into the jug causing water to come out of the tube in the bottom of the bottle. When the water raises to the end of the tube, a vacuum of sorts is formed keeping any more water to come out of the bottle. You...

I think that sadie has used that term before... I love it! Jesse

A chitons shell is not one smooth piece though like the one that he showed... Here is a stomatella link.. http://www.reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheet ... _varia.htm Jesse

Many corals thrive with the natural sunlight (obviously!) and outdoor tanks are usually very large, shallow-lagoon type setups that you dont normally see indoors. Jesse

Mushrooms and rics tend to prefer lower flow, my zoas tend to prefer medium/ medium-high flow, SPS in general like as much flow as you can give them... often 40x-100x turnover per hour.My pulsing xenias seem to thrive better in low-medium flow areas personally. Jesse

Here is my auto top-off... All it consists of is a 1 gallon gatorade bottle, some 3/8" or 1/2" ID tubing, and a small piece of airline tubing... works great. Jesse

A LFS here in So. Cal has a softy-dominant tank that has irect sunlight all day. Another has a tank that gets sun about half the day. Both have a TON of coraline algae, including colors that arent normally achieved in our tanks. Jesse

i think it should be fine if it is open. If it didnt like it, it would close. Jesse
