Thanks Erik .. I pulled it last night. At least it's fairly easy to remove.

I just started reefing about a month ago and IMO the Red Sea tests are a little easier to read than the Saltwater Master tests. The PH and Ammonia tests are particularly hard for me to determine the exact values ... of course I could just be partially colorblind. I would be curious if anyone...

Thanks Ritsuko ... Hanging onto some 'old' water is very good suggestion.

I picked up a couple of pieces of LR today to add to my tank ... I haven't see too many hitchhikers yet, but I did notice a couple small patches of something that I thought was majano (ugh!) - However, the 'bubbles' are attached to a long, horizontal vine, so I am thinking it's grape caulerpa...

Thanks everyone ... I took Cris' advice and pulled the rock out and cleaned it - Not a very fun job to say the least. Plus when I put it back I had really hard time getting everything back in place so the feather dusters and baby hermits weren't buried - Oh well, at least those evil bubbles are...

Hi - Other than good old fashioned elbow grease, is there anything (invert, fish, or chemical) that will get rid of green bubble algae ? It's starting to spread a little in my tank and I have a peppermint shrimp that just laid her eggs - I am not sure where though, so I don't really want to...

I do have a feather duster on the rock above the one where tubes are lying ... He is out almost all the time. The tubes however don't move, nothing ever comes out of them - and although they are laying in front of a hole they don't actually go into the hole. The definitely appear to be dead -...

All - Noticed these white tubes on some LR the other day .. They always appear on the same rock, and one day they are there and the they are gone, but a few days later there are more. At first I thought they might be worm tubes, but on closer inspection I think it might be waster or...

I found the pics of your tank ... Looks like a great setup !! The only way I can fit the new pump into the filter chambers is to turn it sideways - The only hitch is that puts the outbound nozzle on the pump pretty much up against the nozzle leading into the main tank - and at a perpendicular...

Perfect ... I will 'upgrade' my fresh water source and try testing later in the day. If all else fails I will start looking into Ca and Alk levels. Thanks for the tip !!

Thanks .... How do I check out your tank ? Sorry, still getting familiar with this forum works !!

Thanks Jesse .. I went to my LFS today but they only had the Maxi-Jet 900 so I went with it. However, when I hooked it up the flow (even on lowest setting) seemed way too strong ... No matter which way I pointed it sand was blown across the bottom of the tank like it was in a bad wind storm. I...

Hello fellow BC owners ... I purchased the BC14 a few weeks back so I am not stocked yet, but eventually would like some corals. My question is whether or not the built in pump (106gph flow rate) provides enough turnover for livestock that require 'moderate' flow ? Have many of you had to...

I did some additional reading and may have found my answer ... 1) I should test Ca, Alk, and Mg as one of these (particularly ca) may be disturbing the PH level ... Sound like a good approach. 2) I have been using tap water to cover evaporation which has only been a tiny bit, but I just...

Hi all - Started cycling my tank 10 days ago ... Last weekend I took my first readings: Readings ... taken with API test kit PH - 8.2 Ammonia - less than .5ppm (hard to match exact color) Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - less than .5 I have not made any water changes, and have only...

No worries on the missing post. This is such an awesome site - Thanks for all your hard work and efforts maintaining all this for us :D

Thanks Cris ... Actually, the tank w/LR and sand in place is 9 days old.
