  1. Clam started spawning. Water change and air stone?

      No idea if you need to do anything. Would think it would be great coral food though...

  2. Sometimes you feel invincible in this hobby, then a coral dies, then another and so on!

      Thats all you will have soon if that one keeps growing.

      Man, hopefully you've figured out what's happening!

      Narrowed it down to alk swings or phosphates in rod's food.

  3. I would double check your water test at a LFS. I had a brand new Salifert KH test that was off by 4 points. "Oh you thought your alkalinity was at 8, looks like 4....." Also, your SPS may be competing with the algae for food. At least until you get enough bacteria to lower your nitrates and phosphates.
  4. Girlfriend saw a guy at the LFS buying Xenia..."Should we say something."

      I think you are required to by the Uniform Code of Reef Keeping.

      I can't imagine moving anything larger!

      Move far? That's how long it took me to move from RR to Austin. 39g to a 55g. Few months later I got a different 55g so did a transfer - like Jestep said above :)

      I did the opposite. Moved from Austin to Round Rock. I had about $2k in coral out of water for 2-3 hours.

  6. Anyone use AcroPower?

      Just started, SPS have doubled in size in 2 days ;)

      I'll post the results in my 90 build thread on my experience with it. Have been really happy with the Korallen Zucht Super concentrated SPS aminos but they're way expensive.

      Nice ill have to give it a try

  7. Anyone have some extra black egg crate or know where to get some locally?

      Not sure where to get black egg crate. I used Krylon fusion, and sprayed it black and let it sit outside for a few days to get the smell off.

  8. I'm impressed by these wp-25s!

  9. Ugh, Yellow Tang's mouth got stuck in my powerhead and he was spinning like a tire.

      He made it. He's not acting wierd and eating like normal. Had to turn off the wavemaker mode on the pump. He was eating algae when it was off.
