    really wish stephen (hydro) was still around to QT. there's gotta be a way to fund a QT center for the club... MIKE?!
  2. I feel badly for anyone who tried to read threads on slow internet. One day, I might totally bring down the forum.
  3. just to cover bases here, you are using RODI water and a name brand salt mix?

    make sure you have a helluva overflow. if one of the DBW's get stuck, you're going to have a problem.
  5. Still seems a little weird man. Has anyone else has instances where the light being on all the time causes death? I would have thought it would be temperature, as a result of the lights being on, but earlier you said that the temp never exceeded 80. very weird.
  6. i laughed about the feces stream. reintroducing shouldn't give another cycle, unless something on the rock died when you have it out. honestly, what it sounds like to me is either salinity swings or temperature swings. check all your parameters and get back to us. often times rushing to fix something (many large water changes) can be more stressful to the tank than whatever the unerlying problem is. I'd leave your fuge, at worst it does nothing. at best it is exporting excess nutrients. if you're worried about chemicals in the tank, run carbon. Make sure you use good stuff (BRS rox is the best IMO), and I have some if you need it. For clarification, what parts of the tank did you paint, and how?
  7. frogspawn gone. monti gone. leather cabbage is still here, nepthea is pending to rchavez.

    i think this: and this: are the reasons that most people exit the hobby.

    gotta make sure you have every **** fish from finding nemo in there for maximum marketing potential.

    Cheato

    do you have any in vegetable sized quantities?
  12. I want to lie to you and tell you that it would do well in my tank Awesome piece.
  13. green palau nepthea frag - $15 - 2" rchavez 2 headed pink tip frogspawn - $10 leather cabbage coral -$5 - 2 frags of this, one is free, one is attached to a piece of LR small warp speed montipora (found it behind the rockwork, it has a bleached section but has recovered), nickel size $5 crayton09
  14. post a WTB for chaeto from an established tank. try not to add any pod eaters (mandarins, etc) for a while to let the fuge populate.
  15. looks really good. the only way i ever managed to piss off my capnella was to have my salinity too high. it's pretty much indestructible though, I wouldn't worry too much.
  16. jestep is on point as usual. something to consider in addition, is that you can always buy a more powerful pump than is required and then to use a ball or gate valve on the outlet side to reduce the flow to where you want it. I've noticed that it is becoming much more common to run multiple things from the return pump (GFO/Carbon/Biopellet reactors) connected to a manifold, as opposed to running each of those things from individual submerged pumps.
  17. I was thinking more shawshank redemption. Where you cover it with a poster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. did she say anything about making existing holes larger? loopholes, my friend, not just for taxes.
  19. im bringing frogspawn, warp speed montipora, green palau nepthea and cabbage coral and tons of small bags for frags.
  20. I got mine from amazon. Worth every penny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
