    Anyone want to make some extra coral cash?

    My life is too busy lately and was thinking about hiring my LFS to start doing maintenance every couple weeks. Figured I'd rather throw the cash at fellow reefers that might need/want it. Any reefers out there in the Temecula area with a love of reefing want to start doing it instead? Would...

    Keeping multiple clowns

    So who is doing this? I specifically want to keep two different species. I.e. Occ. and Tomato's. My Occ. keep to themselves in a corner (and won't go anywhere near my three nems). Figured if I introduced a couple more of a different species at least SOMEONE would use the nems. Thoughts?

    I have no idea what it will look like when it opens up - but there were some cool colors in it so I bit.

    FS: Coral (or rescue if you prefer)

    So I've had some issues the past couple months and have lost about 3/4 of my SPS. Finally narrowed it down to a RODI/ATO issue. Afraid the rest won't make it until the issue gets resolved. Thus - the following is for sale $100 takes it all. Yes it's a gamble - you could spend $100 and have...

    Plumbing question

    So, I don't feel like my RODI has been performing up to snuff. Checked and adjusted the water pressure to the house. At the main I have it set at 65psi. towards the back of the house (with nothing running) it is about 45psi. My questions are: 1. Is there anything else in the system that...

    Tank smells a little "off"...

    So I am sure we all know what our tanks are supposed to smell like. Typically my DT smells like nothing, the area around my skimmer smells a little like sulfur, and the fuge smells kinda green (sorry, don't know a better way to describe it than that). Since my adult 4.5" melenarus disappeared...

    Couple Dogs for free...

    So we moved g-ma in yesterday and having four dogs is a little overwhelming. Need to get rid of two and figured I'd try on here before I relinquish to a rescue. Cosmo: 1 year old SUPER loving SUPER playful Good with kids Good w/ other dogs (tries to play a little too hard when meeting a new...

    Are you a lazy reefer??

    What are some of the problems you have had from being lazy? I've been busy the last couple weeks and have given my tank ZERO attention: 1. My part-b ran out and my ALK dropped to 6.8 (sps/lps are NOT happy) 2. My HUGE melenarus disappeared and my NO3 spiked to ~5ppm and PO4 to > .04 Guess I...

    RODI Question

    On average how often is every one going between filter/resin changes? At what TDS level do you decide to change things and what do you change? My tank has been looking like butt the last few days, checked my TDS and it's at 57 :( Filters are only 3 months old and first stage still looks white...

    Added some new fish tonight - need advice!!

    So I adopted a couple "special needs" fish today (one has a bad eye, the other a slight swim bladder issue - swims at a 45 degree angle). Anyway... put them in the tank (yes, I too am a dirty sailor) they go straight to my lizard blenny's caverns (yes, the same fish that ate 7 or 8 of my glass...

    STN vs... ????

    So, I'm familiar with STN. And from what I have seen always starts from the base/middle up. I am having an issue with my tips losing tissue (but the base remains stable). TDS is a little high (27) so I am seeing diatoms in small amounts (covers the sps tips once they start receding). Params...

    WTB: D/I Resin

    Had some diatoms show up this week, checked TDS coming out of the RODI and it was at 27. Looks like it's time to re-pack my resin. Anyone have any bulk resin that isn't too far from me?

    SPS eating demons...

    WTF is going on with my tank?!?! Last week I lost a large milli colony to what seemed like STN, yesterday I noticed the flesh on my bonsais missing from the tips. And today a couple 1" sections of my neon green birdsnest are bare (not just the polyps, but into the skeleton). So I sat down at...

    Stray Voltage...

    ... so every piece of submersible equipment that I have ever tested emits a small amount of stray voltage. At what point does it become a problem and start negatively effecting livestock? Also, what are your thoughts on grounding probes? Personally (and from a purely electrical standpoint) it...

    Did I get the AIDS??

    So, the last couple days I noticed one of my my pink millie not having its normal PE. This morning I woke up to RTN. Water Parameters are: pH: 8.2 Ammonia: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: undetectable Phosphates: .003 Mag 1500 ALK: 10.5 dKH Ca: 460 Only thing I have done to the tank in the last...
