  1. I have a large colony you can buy, ir make a fraf for you. you can contact me at 7135150136 No PaYPal LOL they are the real ones not a look alike. I got them over 5 years at a Dallas Reef Farmers Convention convention, I had a booth that year so i was lucky to get first pick on coral.

  2. I don't have a small,I maybe able to get you one from a friend that's acrylic that is medication free, but I cant lend out equipment like that you have to buy it.How many chambers do you need? pm for price

  3. Free Bump

    Thanks again for letting me stop by. Your pics barely do this setup any justice at all. I didn't realize everything was brand new. And your build quality is excellent. I may have to find a way to pick this thing up from you. I don't even need it but for the price you really cant find a better deal. I can't believe no one has picked this up yet.

    Thanks for stopping by. The corals look great!!

  4. That's a good article! I got a lot of new info thanks, Some fish have small stomachs though and need to be feed small amounts 3 to 5 times a day,like anthias, even clown fish have stomachs the size it there eyes. You should check out YouTube - Americanreefchannel Mike Polleta- Phosphates and Feeding. He has been successful in the hobby for over 30 years and has some good tips I use. Very nice guy when I meet him, and is well respected in the hobby, some of us have his corals in are tank. You can use his advice, or not. He is constantly updating his tank and has a wealth of knowledge. I use his advice and like to save money on less water changes, if you have a large tank water changes can start to be expensive.20 to 25% water changes on a large tank over 100 gallons plus sump water volume added, can get pricey, if you use High Quality salt mix like hw-Marinemix my personal favorite that is used by most large public aquariums and the US EPA only uses this salt mix as a replacement for natural seawater and the brand has been around for over 50 years. they don't use anti-caking properties that cause that brown crap in salt mixing tanks or in salt containers if left in for a while you will see the stuff I'am talking about. it may cost more but you get a better product.like anything in life, for instance Mc Donald's taste good and most love it including me, but we all know its not the best quality food for us to eat every day. Other brands work great this is just my opinion and experience from 10 years of working in this hobby with coral whole salers in are area and working with marine biologist that also took the coral aqua culture course at Corpus,as I also took. Everyone can be extremely successful using different products and methods, so don't think I consider you less knowledgeable.I try to learn something new every day and did.I always listen to others for valuable info. Everyone has some knowledge others don't.

  5. no, sea hares are the best option and reducing phosphates, linkia stars die more often, especially if the water quality is not ideal. they often die in pristine water. lawnmowers are great and have good personalities, but most blennys need detritus witch i am sure he has, we all do but the best option is to lower phosphates feed food that contains no phosphates like, the Elos brand yes it cost more but it is made by a company that enjoys the hobby too,not just a big name trying to make profit . Strain frozen food in a net wih RO/DI water.RO water, will work, DI resin removes most of the phosphates though but remove as much as you can manually. Sacsha D is right about those guys! but linkia stars die very easily die. If there is a change in water chemistry even from a large water change. Remember these guys have been in 5 different types of water before they were ever ever in your tank.Remember foxfaces are posionous so be careful with those guys.reducing phospates, and feeding less amounts of quality foods will help, having a good skimmer and a GFO reactor will be the best things to do, and add dome grazing fish like tangs. I have completely removed green hair algae using these steps in many friends tanks.

  6. I have a dual analog timer multistrip they don't make anymore.works great and I have a extra.They can run dusk and dawn mode and daylight with outlets for pumps, cooling fans, and skimmer all on one unit. (20$!) Ive used one for 4 years w/ no problems and bought extras.I have great surge protectors also
