    Clown eggs what do you suggest?

    They most likely won't make it unless you are prepared beforehand. You have to collect them and then you will need to culture rotifers (Reed Mariculture). The rotifers then have to be fed with phytoplankton. There's some good books out than can provide good tips. The best book is probably...

    RO/DI System

    I bought the filters from filter direct. I think that you can also get some of them from Home Depot. I bought DI resin from Bulk Reef Supply. If possible, see how old the membrane on the system is and ask how it performs. This is the most expensive replacement part.

    I've had one for 4 years. Works fine. My TDS through the RO/DI is typically 0.

    Wtb Rbta

    Nick (theloud1) has some beautiful red anemones and is a great seller. I bought two from him and they are both thriving. The largest one has about doubled in size to about 14 inches across when fully open. Best yet, my GSM's are spawning next to it.

    Best Temp for Reef Tank?

    I try to keep my tank between 78-81F. Today another reefer told me that corals generally grow better at a lower temp of around 76-78F. Research on the web shows temps all over the place. Some state that SPS grow better in the lower temp range while others contradict this. Most say that it...

    Live Rotifers?

    I would filter it first through a coffee filter and then add it. You can just dunk the coffee filter paper in your tank and the rotifers will float off into your tank. Hope this helps.

    Live Rotifers?

    Not sure what you have there. Live rotifers are usually shipped in some kind of saltwater solution. Did you get algae to feed the rotifers with the rotifers? Where did you buy this from? It seems like you might have a rotifer starter kit - which would be rotifers and also the algae that...

    Help with marine ich, PLEASE!!

    +1 on what Dooly said. The only successful way that I found to make sure the ich is gone is to leave the display tank empty for 4-6 weeks - especially if you've got a bad case - happened to me twice. Use copper on the fish and then reintroduce slowly after the 4-6 weeks. Tangs seem to be...
