    Howdy. I'm considering upgrading the stock skimmer to the AquaC Remora. It's a HOB, but the advantage besides being a good skimmer is that it isn't dependent on the water level in the rear chambers of the Solana. My stock skimmer is loud, but the upper seam split a month or so ago. I've seen references to people using it in the Solana. I'm curious if anyone in ARC has used it, and what their opinion of it is. I'll be hooking it up to one of my Maxi-jet 1200s. Chris

    In my order to Reefs2Go, they were supposed to send me two 1-inch male clownfish (or mated pair). They have been fighting and has really picked up over the last few days. They are both very ragged looking, scarred, and ripped fins (the pectoral fins of one are almost gone). How long do they tend to fight to establish female/male dominance? I'm wondering if they are actually both females and that Reefs2Go screwed up on the sexes (they screwed up the sizes--they were 2-inches)?

    If you have a white/gray 18%/black laminated or plastic color cards, put them in your tank and snap a few pics to get the "true" colors. Then you should be able to set custom white balance on your camera (see docs) with that, or use a tool after the fact to set white balance by using an eye dropper on the cards.

    Howdy. Has anyone in ARC successfully battled red wire algae (Gelidiopsis)? What methods did you use? The two I've read on wetwebmedia is a) increased weekly water changes (which I'm loathe to do); and b) reduced feedings. Thanks.

    Yeah, Mark, I'm good with the 22nd.
  6. doktorstick
    If that's the case, then pretty much any day the week of March 22nd.

    /next/ Thursday? Uhh, cancel my order. I was under the impression that you wanted the order in by Wednesday so by worst case it was in on Friday so it wouldn't be sitting on the docks over the weekend. But arriving over Spring Break is not so bueno.

    QFT.

    For tallying toward the $150, I'm just over $90. I'll post a finalized list as we get closer to the date.

    I always reference this tank when people ask about skimmerless. He talks about what (really little) maintenance he does.

    Hah. They are doing fine... I was making a joke about "trash" palys... Lame, I know.
  14. doktorstick
    They are hard to see. Normally they don't open up until late afternoon / early evening... when they finally emerge from their trailers.
  15. doktorstick
    I'll grab 'em.

    Depends what they are made of. Prolypropylene (PP symbol) is the safest as it is guaranteed to be food-grade safe. HDPE, while typically food-grade isn't as resilient as PP. Look on the bottom of the container (usually) to see what it is made of. By law it must be labeled.

    Favor the round ones to the square ones as they distribute the force of water better.
  18. doktorstick
    Yup. The answered my questions.
  19. doktorstick
    If we do a group order, I'm in on a few items.
  20. doktorstick
    I'm going to ping them again directly. If I don't get a timely response, by all means go on without me. I'll find my stuff elsewhere.
  21. doktorstick
    Still waiting on them to respond to my queries.
  22. doktorstick
    Similar. I don't have anything in the fraggable size range, but if you want to clear some out I'll take a piece.
  23. doktorstick
    It will settle. It's physics. The big stuff will get on top and all the small stuff on bottom.
  24. doktorstick
    Having stuff too close to the glass is a newbie mistake I made. Now I have a thick bit of coraline algae obscuring part of my scape because of it. I don't have the energy to redo it, though.

    Not much.
