  1. Or just pull the rock, chisel the rock where they are located. Rinse the rock in a bucket of saltwater and put it back in your tank. Coraline will cover the places you've chiseled in no time. You could even glue corals in these places. Might give you a excuse to buy more frags.

  2. I have had saltwater tanks off and on for about 7 years. I guess I have been unlucky because I have never been able to get any of my clowns to host anemones before. I got 2 Platinum clowns from Loraine a couple of weeks ago. I just picked up a anemone from Aquadome last night and by 12 today they were already hosting it. I am so excited, I cant stay away from the tank. I cant seem to get any pics that dont come out really blue but here are some pics anyway...

  3. If a saltwater tank is something you feel commited to and plan on being involved in for some time, your own RO/DI unit will be invaluable. I had one installed when I bought my house in March for my own consumption. Once I decided to start a tank a month later, it made the purchase even better. Especially because I only have one LFS near me and I'm as lazy as it comes when it comes to leaving my house.

    I thought di was bad for you to drink. I hope you have your drinking water coming out before it goes through the di resin.

  4. I had flatworms in a tank a couple of years ago where the population got totally out of hand. I would siphon every day but seemed like there were more every day. If I couldn't siphon for a couple of days, they would cover the glass. They never hurt anything but I like to look through the glass at pretty stuff not little worms all over the glass. I tried to use a product from blue vet called Flatworm control. I used it at the dose they called for and it did nothing. I doubled the dose and it still did nothing. I quadrupled the dose and it still did nothing. I decided to try flatworm exit and it totally knocked them out after 1 dose while not harming any corals or fish. After that outbreak I would dose flatworm exit at the first sign of one on my glass. Just because other people says their flatworms didn't harm anything doesn't mean yours won't. I'm not saying they will, I just wouldn't risk it.

  5. I haven't had a skimmer in about 5 years and have seen no negative consequences. Unless you are way overstocked you should be fine. If i were going to do sps i may consider it but my water stays crystal clear and I have no nitrates. I have never lost a fish due to bad water conditions so why waste the money on the skimmer and electricity???
