Sadie, Your trates are fine, I have 10 ppm in my tank but I worry because of my SPS. For fish and other corals 10 is very acceptable. One way to lower them if you want is less feedings...

Jesse, You are right, I took a beating over at nano-reef, but you see I also have fans and they came to my rescue... Back in early days when I first got started I took some real beatings but thankfully I had a powerful allie, Incysor would appear and defend us... I've learned a lot...

I run three moonlights all on different timers.... mg

If we enter a zoo contest; it's over these happen to be prize pics... I'm really impressed... MG

Nice Pics, What type of camera? MG

I run my carbon 24/7....... Mike

Yes that's right, I took the plunge today and gave in when my LFS told me complete your tank with 6 different species of Tangs... I now have the Tomini Tang, Cheveron Tang, Kole Tang, Blue Tang, Yellow Tang, and Mr Powder Blue Tang. He's my favorite, as he appears to be the most graceful...

Andre, I'm cannot tell you what the PH was or the Alk when I first ran the Rowaphos because I hadn't purchased the Milwaukee controller. All I can tell you is that my corals did go into shock because I ran it at full blast which you shouldn't do. Remember what I said about these...

Well Reefers, Looks like Mr. Wiggles identity will never be unmasked. Sadie, sometimes it's best to let heroes stay behind there masks. Just ask Superman, Spider man or Batman they prefer their identities to remain a mystery. Mike G

When you say high temps, what are they? I use to run ice packs on my 12 gallon cube to bring them down when they got really high like 86 to 87 degrees, this was before I ordered the chiller assist. Sadie, fish are way more tolerante to higher temps than corals or inverts, I'm not saying keep...

Don't overfeed!!!!! It's the doom of the tank when you overfeeed !!! I know because with about 20 fish, I was feeding a lot and I didn't realize that my nitrates soared really high to about 30 ppm. It's been a long battle to bring them to 10 ppm, and I'd love to have just about 0 or 5 ppm...

Sadie, When you say they were purchased together but later started fighting, does that mean that you added them together and they got along and then started fighting? I ask you this because Dragon told me that when he got his pair of ocelleris, they in the beginning didn't fight but then...

Thanks John, Yes it's a rose milli that has been doing great since I purchased it but three days ago, it started RTN from the base up. I was so mad when I saw that because it's my favorite SPS coral. I knew that if I didn't act quickly it would be gone so I went and puchased the tools to...

Okay, .025 and .05 is okay.... if it's in PPM..... Mike

John is right about this fish; I haven't he experience as I just got him. I did notice that since the lights went off he has been trying to jump but I have glass tops, ouch!!! Hopefully tommorrow he will acclimate and start sifting.... Mike

Andre, I haven't changed my Rowaphos since I first set it up, don't know how long ago that was, I'd have to check my thread. Are you measuring .3 or .03 with Salifert Phosphate test? Because .3 is bad and will start to choke corals. I tested my phosphates today and I got .03 which is...

Sadie, You have a big heart, I'f fugu could talk he would gulp in his bubbles, a big thanks.... Mike G

Roodee, I hope you don't mind me adding some major input on your thread but I'm a strong advocate of tackling a source at many different angles, ask Aromano he'll tell you how I do it. Add a sand sifting goby as well, I'm having major problems with brown diatoms in certain parts of my sand...

Knowing that LFS save a lot of SPS from certain death after RTN is detected, I decided to give it a try. I'm no expert on fragging but I asked around and found out what some LFS use to get the job done. I purchased this cool set of clippers for only $9 at Home Depot. Here are pictures to...

Andre, I think we are becomming twins because our tanks and equipment are virtually the same, I dished out major bucks on a Deltec Fluidized reactor to run my Rowaphos. It was well worth every penny I paid for it as it completely wiped out my phosphate to almost non detectable...
