hmmm the purple milli looks a lot better in real life, it is a fully healed piece with no bleaching.

i have 3 frags I am selling at the time.

1. Is a pocillopora I have had for awhile now, it started off about an inch in size with maybe a branch or two. $35

2. Lunar eclipse polyps, this is a five polyp frag with two off to the side (as you can see in pic). $35

3. 1" frag of purple milli. Got this from john g and this frag fell off. It has been on the plug for close to a month now and is starting to encrust. $10

when you do upgrade make sure its 24" wide. That will save you from having to upgrade again anytime soon and or ever.

wow that is awesome, try to get a pic if you can.

I have also noticed tons of snail eggs lately, anybody else?

look like blues to me, do as much research as you can with these guys. Many people are having a hard time with them, few have had better luck.

sure, DO RESEARCH!!!!!

now I have found with most fish that you buy at a LFS there is a 50/50 chance of it making it. Most fish are pulled straight from the ocean packed into boxes and shipped half way around the world only to be put in tank with high levels and tons of other fish.

without more info it will be hard to help you. It could be as simple as what I just said or the conditions of your water are bad.

can you give us some numbers? also maybe what temps the tanks reach during the day.

opps almost forgot the last two things

anything

please

; )

looks like a baby snail to me, i have a few in my tank. But if you could find a way to get a better shot....

they can be fun, but

no fish

and lots of water changes

LOTS!!!!!!!!

i say go with the nano wave box, you can get flow to your whole tank that way. If you happen to need a little more flow its real easy to add a power head.

i would like five please can pick up tomorrow or later today maybe

i once saw a site where a guy did something like that but for MH lighting. The tank was split in two and you could choose what bulb you wanted to see, so you could see them side by side. It was really neat but I cant find it anywhere, if somebody out there knows please chime in.

please hold 5 for me if you can, i might be able to get them today

my number is 512.415.6731

or pm me with yours

thanks jason

as long as you can get flow to move threw all the rock I dont think you can get to much. I nano wave box might help with that.

oh forgot to add make sure your rocks dont smell like bleach, mine didnt smell anymore after the first rinse but i didnt another just to make sure.

dang it i forgot this also and this is really important.

if you DO NOT KNOW THE SOURCE of where or what tank this rock came from you might need to start by soaking for a week and testing for copper. If you do find copper you can not use this rock in saltwater tanks, copper will leech out of those rocks forever and kill many things.

there are so many thing that could have been on that rock when it "died" that you do not want anywhere near your tank. Using bleach will help to rid any left overs that could be harsh on your tank, also taking a brush and scrubbing it is a must along with blasting the crap out of it with a hose.

Ok here is what I did.

i lay all rock in my driveway and blast with hose for a long time

put rock in in container with bleach water, mine was a 20 tub with one full big bottle of bleach and the rest water.

made sure I had power heads in tub to circulate water. did this for about 5 days to a week.

took rocks out and lay in driveway again and blast with water. FOR A LONG TIME.

Put rocks back in tub but this time with only ro water and power heads. Let sit for a week.

take rock put in driveway and blast with water. for a long time.

Put rocks back in tub with ro and power heads, let sit for another week.

by this time I was ready to put into my new tank, I took rocks out of water and put them into the new tank with a few pieces of live rock to seed.

Waited a few months and then adding the first coral.

I would always stay on the safe side when it comes to setting up your tank. Doing it right from the start can save you lots o monies : )

if it really is for only one hour I would not worry about it at all.

But I just had an idea! Dont turn your light on at all that day, and maybe only run your return. Should help with heat issues and its always good to do once in a while anyway

i like to soak the rock a a bleach water combo for a few days, then dump water and do that one more time. After the second bleach stage I run the rock in r/o once or twice to rid of an bleach.

If you would like to add it to a tank that is already running then you will need to cycle the rock, could take a month or two.

put it in a QT fast, if it is zoa pox it will spread really fast.

only one way to find out now, hope they put cool packs in there for you guys.

let me know how it turns out

just as the title says I am looking for a 40g breeder tank with no scratches. It can also be another tank that is 36" long as long as it not taller than the breeder.

please send me a pm if you have anything of even if you see something on craigslist.

thanks jason

wow that Halloween Milli is awesome, let me know if you have any more

honestly it sounds to me like your tank has not cycled yet. Ammonia and diatoms are what you see during your cycling period. The emperor could be the cause for some nitrate issues down the road but i dont think it should be a problem at the moment.

I would try to do at LEAST 5 gallon water changes every week till the tank becomes stable (good 6 months or so). Now after that depending what corals you would like to keep you can keep it the same or do them less.

I also have some nice easy ideas for your sump but we can talk about that this weekend.

hope it helps.

wait till you guys get to see his colony of these : D

you were not joking about all those red mushrooms. I have some things to help offset the color ; )

I think both the cadlights and finnex are great but he said best : ) to me thats the elos with cadlight right behind.

If it was me I would get a 40g breeder, save you some money and you get an awesome footprint.
