    trocus snails breeding

    Just an update. 4 days ago 10/25/2009 I am seeing a LOT of baby trocus in the filter bag. So about 2 months roughly to go from eggs and larvae to actual snails with a shell. I am talking a ton of tiny babies. I thought about removing them and putting them in the tank BUT i also notice there...

    Phosphate

    The real question is how do you even know your rock is bounded with PO4? It most likely is from what I read, but how do you quantitate the amount that would justify nuking (if possible) or replacement. Why would you nuke a rock without test? Perhaps he knows something we don't know regarding...

    Phosphate

    I guess he may as well just throw out his tank and forget reefing. Can't test it, can't fix the problem without knowing the cause.

    Phosphate

    If your in San Francisco or plan to come out this way I can test your phosphate if you bring a sample. I got a colorimeter and reagents that are designed to detect low level PO4. I can tell you exactly how much po4 you got in your system.

    Working With Acrylic

    CNC mills have come down by a lot! taigtools I've got one and I have to admit I don't use it that much so its a waste of money. If I were to do it again, I may just get a manual mill. Of course if milling isn't your thing I believe you can print your parts now affordably...

    BAR Swap - Acropora Loisettae

    I just realized the coral I brought to the swap is the Steve Elias Stag. I labeled it as an Acropora Loisettae but this is the coral I bought from Steve Tyree 4 years ago. Just thought you'd want to know where it originated from. It will look like this when its larger. pix is from...

    mini in tank frag rack

    Just thought I'd share a little something.. Seeing as I have an account now and I haven't contributed much to the club for a while. Problem: You ever scratch your head thinking, where the heck am I going to put this frag in my tank? Or wasn't there ever a time where you fragged something...
