Question? how about other picture that you took, its fine picture or same as blurred? only one picture that has blurred, that means its bad shot.

If all the picture are blurred for no reason, the picture could be bad memory flash card, replace with new one OR your camera are no longer, buy new one. belived me, you have to pay shipping and return shipping and the parts and the labor is a equal the new camera.

same as mine, estimated quote "the labor, shipping, parts" are the cost as 246 dollars equal to new Z710. I bought new one and give the unfunctionable camera to Kodak company. The bottom is the problem was something related to computer in the camera.

I wonder how many spawn clownfish do in a month, I saw Female starting to spawn on the glass same as few weeks ago, and all the eggs are gone to filter socks too late to save it... now there is new eggs again... How many spawn they can go far?

Must be they are in overdriver.... Should give them "safe sex " education

anyone know where the place to get the book about clownfish? I tried to find but border told me that wait for two week.

Now Status is M.I.A, I have read some of their experience and suggests, Haven't find any piece of 6 lines, Carpet, I should have notice or smell foul, not yet, I have 3 cats. they doesn't bother fishes when i show them. or could be they play with it and deposit somewhere.

Sump, I can't see any reason gone to sump because the U tube is too close to overflow cup to reduce the bubble to cause air in the u tube. Yesterday I dismantle the pipes and not see any stuck in the pipe.

There is my second time lost to 6 line. One is my fault, I using cheap hydrometer and the gravity is 1.032 at first acclimated and already kill in next day. I use refractometer and go down to 1.026. I learned my mistake with cheap stuffs.

Now the second one, good for 3 days then missing.

I like six line because very interesting species, maneuvering and characteristic. I will buy again, don't let it change my mind.

I will give the ammonia test to see any spike but the problem was I already water changes and new carbon in the sump yesterday, will not able to detectable of ammonia for short time.

Should I put three fishes in 20 gallon tank for short time while I check the rock to find 6 line's part and then put in fish bag and send to Dover?

They hide at night the rockwork at night (in their slime cocoon), but during the day mine was always out in the open.

Hopefully he is just being shy.... but of luck!

I know where the area that sixline hide, but I checked the rock, there is nothing, I will throw some mysis in few hours dinner time. and see..

very interesting...

Oh, well, then, this one is still a baby. I was comparing her size to the larger ones I've seen, which weren't very large at all.

I would mind to adopt Tang, but its good idea to have him or her in 75 gallon tank with fishmates of pared ocellaris and lawnmower.. I know Tang Police will start to heat it up when if I adopt it.. should not in 75. must be 6 feet.

Right now I need to find out what is happen to sixline. not want ammonia kill tang... Maybe upgrade skimmer for bioload, my skimmer is under capacity. need to replacement

Mine is always out in the open, especially at feeding time. Have you tried feeding them to see if it would show up?

I did feed frozen mysis and brine, paired ocellaris came and eat.. I haven't see sixline.. if not the I will changed the statue to M.I.A or D.I.T (Dead In Tank)

Lawnmower still active

I have difficulty to find sixline wrasse, I can't find anywhere. I got sixline and lawnmower last thursday from RCA, and few days sixline was doing fine eat mysis and brine shrimp, very active and today I can't find somewhere. he is sleeping or hide somewhere? I see paired ocellaris and lawnmower swam.

I checked the parameter, They are good.

Not too bi, maybe 1 1/2 times what you see in the local chain stores. I guess it's about 2" tall.

its consider adult?

Thanks, Bob. I hope she's OK. But she likes the shrimp as much as the others!

how big tang is?

I had heard everybodies talked about Chaeto in their Refuge will help to breeding Copepods or Pods and also being a roles for to bring nitirate down to 0 ppm.

I have issues with Nitirates for almost two months, and decided to bought Chaeto from Dome, last week ago, now I took tests for Nitrate and how really amazing that nitrate go down to less than 2 ppm from range of 25 ppm. took approix 23 ppm drop in a week. now I understand what is Chaeto's role. I belived that thing is very important for aquarium.

Now I have to pull my ALK, right now is 7.4 dkh .. also raise calcium too...

Howdy everyone!

I am thinking about to have a calcium reactor in the future, I can see big different that I have several corals right now, see the parameter get changed very quickly... Now I have 8 dkh from 9.8 dhk and 390 calcium from 440 in few weeks. See what I learn, plan to buy several SPS. Best to have reactor to prevent error.

I looked at different brands... Korillia, MRC, GEO and octopus. Which brand do you preference to running your tank? Best to have combo with CO2 system, or seperate parts to buy?

I see some online do selling combo with Reactors, PH controller, CO2 system, Tank and Media..

Not buy now, My wife say " one choice is Skimmer or Reactor".. Thinking about PCI RPS 2000 cost 300.. can't have two same time. Maybe when I get tution waiver then might hit reactor in future.

I saw their big red sign the other day. What exit off of 183 do you take to get there? Do they have "microalgae" for sale like Aquatek? I've been to Aquatek and River City, and I'd like to check out the others. Since I'm going to set up my mini-fuge this weekend, I thought now would be a good time to stop by Horizon.

if you going to north 183 and get off at anderson mill rd, you will see sign anderson mill rd, you get it off exit ramp.

I'd like it to be a hang on because my tank is so small. There's not much room in there. Can you get anything decent for less than $150?

Corallife super skimmer will be better choice for your tank, CSS can be mount on HOB. what is your tank size?

sorry I didn't read the tank size.. 40 gallon tank, could be CSS 65 or CSS 125

Thank you

Someday my tank will be like your tank..

Super skimmer is good, I had one for my tank. Quality is good, I donlt complaint about it as long it working. Price is nice, as for starter.

If I was you I would go for 220. Happened I saw somewhere on line cost 170.00 for 220. Might be fit for your budget. Imo..

Some peoples had thir preference.

I have a couple snails (astrea and cerith) and a couple hermits. Mine stays pretty clean except for aptaisia. I also stir mine up and suck out the water in there when doing water changes.

should throw Nassarius Snail? for sand swift? just idea?

you do waterchange on refuge, I thought will take small copedo? I dont know that? I do took all water from drain area and return area and some from DT then replace with new batch of salt and RO/DI. I leave the about 10 gallons in refuge.

I don't know but if its good to doing water change in refuge area.

It saves to much money buying direct.

I have WaterGeneral 106 from ebay, doing great... I bought it from Dec and today the TDS still 0 ppm, however need to replacement filters soon. When I was first time intro to SW and of course I am rookie, I bought all dillute water from wal-mart, and the COA trashman refused to collect all the bottles, about that time there were 80 bottles and 25 boxes... I bought it and no more trash.

Anyone have refuge in the sump?

Do you have clean crews in the refuge? what the list of crew do you have in refuge. I have refuge with chateo, and about 10 lbs live rocks. Right now my refuge look so dirty and lots of detirus and little aglae on the glass.

Thanks

I think about get 3/8 aryclic for tank, its only 33 to 35 gallon tank with 12 inches height tank. That is good for this without brace?

cool,

Giant Octopus Battle Shark

I starting puzzled that Romeo, (male ocellaris) been stay one corner near the glass tank. since three days.. Juilet, female been swimming around. I decided to check it out and saw some black dots on the glass and Romeo been shield them.. so its possible that black dots are babies? need let me know so I can shut down one powerhead and leave one powerhead to operate. That eggs are near overflow box, how I can to prevent eggs goes to overflows..

any idea? I am open to this.....

Would like to come and learning about supplements and Calcium Reactor, but can't.....

Last time I have struggled with keep maitance PH to steady, end up low PH under 8.0, know that might have CO2 issued so I added air pump into sump and one outlet to skimmer to prdouces oxygen for bubbles

so far, pretty good number of PH until today I discovered that ALK is dropped to 7.7 DHK or 2.7 meg. the calcium is 390 ppm. Do I need to dose the raising carbonate to get ALK to up to 8.0

my guess?

1. I have some Coral that been grow. that I got rock from someone. I think I have 4 blue mushrrom, two already grows, two is baby. about 7 orange zoos, one is look alike green, glow during actinic, seems that green are starting grow alive.

2. that coral affect the parameter start to decreasing?

the parameter is

PH 8.3 to 8.4

ALK 7.7 DHK or 2.7 meg/l

calcium 390

Only one lfs in south Austin is Aqua-Dome. there are 4 good lfs in North Austin. That is sad .. mostly of time I went up North Austin to buy stuffs..

Do they sell Weld-On? I need a couple pieces of scrap and some Weld-on to close up two holes on the back of my sump so it will hold more water.

Yes they do sell Weld-on under the counter.
