Nice observation, glad you caught the pH

Good news, bad new, and worst news. Good news, I got the cardinals to start eating some Rod's food. Just started cupramine, but sadly lost one more before starting that. Ammonia badge is just barely taking on a greenish tint. The worst news, I had a bunch of pictures ready to go...

I recall a reef central thread several years ago entitled "worst reef keeping smells." My personal worst was a sea hare that died in a 40. Didn't think it was possible for something to smell so bad, so fast. for some serious zomgwhat, you need one of aquatic collection's $9000 chalices ;)

What place do you go to in Alameda? "I Love Sushi" in Santa Cruz is my favorite place. I can't remember the name of it, but I've never been impressed with the LFS on the westside next to Safeway. It will do in a pinch though if you really need something.

I love the look of the shadow boxes, any ideas on what you would use to light yours? Ample use of forced perspective would couple nicely with one.

Anyone else see the irony if they aren't?

Frozen would be a no no. It has the unfortunate tendency to unfreeze ;) I guess you could use freeze dried, but i have no experience with freeze dried food. Flake or pellet are probably your best bet.

Is that a new eheim model?

Shhh, I'm trying to hide behind my anonymity Welcome to BAR!

Been a while since an update. Finally picked up some new livestock! Added 7 blue eyed cardinals (Zoramia leptacanthus) from Neptune's to QT on sunday. I started prazipro yesterday, and they've eaten a little bit of live nutrition arcti-pods, but not much. Sadly one already moved on...

You can usually tell by looking closely at whatever happens to be floating around in the tank. Look at where algae or cyano or diatoms start growing the most, these are often dead spots. Once you have live stock, watch where the food goes once you add it. If you end up dosing tow part calcium...

The messenger delivering tasty tasty fish. Though in all fairness, "red snapper" is one of the seafood watch avoid fish that I try to 100% avoid. And back on topic, I love dark field microscopy :)

Once you win, the odds are irrelevant :P Though if you are now Aqua-nut's sashimi, I'm not sure what you've won.

Depends on if you are using a wave maker of any type. Start with the corners, see where your dead spots are, adjust from there. Took me forever to find the golden spot where my MP40 can be turned up to about 80% (stupid dots) and not move sand into one big pile.

Better get on this fast, looks perfect for your 90. http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=150821

RO units work by forcing pressurized water against a semipermeable membrane. Water and a very small amount of dissolved solids can pass through the filter, but the bulk of the dissolved solids are stopped. Theses are then flushed away by waste water. A flow restrictor on the waste water hose...

Don't get caught in the numbers game on flow. Good flow is whatever keeps you from having dead spots. Many end up adding more pumps the more their corals grow. If you can afford it, look into tunze or vortech pumps. If not, go with some koralia. Propeller pumps put out preposterously more...

Nice, perhaps Archidoris odhneri

Your american dream house should have more drains. Lots and lots of drains.
