Well today I gave the Betadine a try. I prepared a dip with 3ml of Betadine (from Walgreens) and mixed it in with 1 liter of tank water. Then I proceeded to remove all the monti corals from the tank and placed them into the dip. After 15 minutes I started to blast them in the solution with the...

I have seen some good growth with the corals in the tank. But this past week I noticed these tiny small black specks, which I thought at first were just detritus, but today I saw them moving around. |( They are half the size of a speck of black pepper, like a small mark that a pointed...

Thanks everyone for your replies. The water level is pretty consistant with the ATO I have hooked up. I don't really do any dosing, keep it simple and with 1 fish, not much feeding too :) I may try cleaning the pump again, as a last ditch effort, even though I gave it a vinegar bath not...

I am running the Tunze nano skimmer 9002 on an aquapod 24 gallon. I have done no mods to the skimmer. The skimmer gets a good bath every couple of months. It has been running good for almost almost a year now and recently, every once in a while the skimmer goes crazy and collects cups full of...

I still have the 14k Ushio bulb, but I just couldn't take looking at the yellow water any longer than a day :) Thanks Tony. I figure it is easy enough to maintain a 24 gallon. Glad to see your move went smoothly and the Elos is setup and looking good.

Took a full tank shot today, with the Ushio 20k bulb.

Small Update: Finally ordered and installed a Vortech MP10 and water movement is much better. I just replaced the Current 70w 14k bulb that came with the Sunpod with an Ushio 70w 14k bulb, and it is way too yellow for my liking. May have to order a 20k instead. Recent additions...

Hey Anthony, Those pictures are looking spectacular. I was curious and don't remember if you had mentioned what lens you were using for these shots. Joyce

This is the only photo of the coral I had, right before I tore down the tank. The color is not right in this photo, it is more green like the first photo.

Looking good Justin. Might want to watch out for the blue cloves, as they tend to spread and take over real estate.

Tank looks great Ian.

Swung by and picked it up today. Thanks again Jeremy.

Thanks Jeremy for your efforts, it is much appreciated. Hope everything works out with your pup. I will drop by and pick it up either Saturday evening or Sunday morning.

Jeremy, I will be in SF, helping my mom and brother move out. Where abouts are you located ? If it works out - maybe a possible pickup on Sunday morning, that is when we leave with the moving truck. If not, no worries, we will work something else out. Thanks in advance, Joyce

Thanks everyone. No sand this time around. I like being able to siphon out all the detritus during water changes. I am planning to slowly fill out the top part with SPS and let the zoos and LPS grow a bit on the bottom. I try to stop at Your Reef in Roseville everytime I drive...

A couple of updates: Running Current 1/15 hp Chiller and removed the Iceprobe (not strong enough). AquaClear HOB for carbon. Decided to redo the scaping today. I was never happy with the stacked rocks. Tank at 3 months old. (Excuse the craptastic pics) :)

Hey Ian, Top notch as usual. Congrats on the house and new tank !

So far the coral's colors are still vibrant, just the polyps are not extended, but I will keep a close eye in the next few days. The tank is bare bottom, otherwise, I would get a goby since I tend to like those.

Awesome, that would be great. Just let me know what I owe you and we can arrange a meet up.

A cleaner shrimp gone rogue, perhaps.
