nice site........ thanks!! guess I'll try it this weekend.... stay tuned!!! amatuer/newbie fragger with a knife....... *shiver* (what Horror movies are made from) lol

I bought at auction 3 heads of Duncanopsamia axifuga from BRK (Jul 2007). It now has about 8 heads on it. Some are small but a few are a reasonable size.... I want to S.W.A.P. a couple of frags but I have no clue how to do it without killing it....... can it be fragged?? and if so, how??? got pictures???

I got this as a tiny frag from a WMAS meeting in a raffle.... it has grown ALOT but I don't know what it is called.... can someone help? I think it was donated by grav......... Also the 'Superman Monti"..... I got this on ebay about a yr ago....... Is it actually what they said? Superman Monti??? and are they easy to Frag??? Thanks for your help!!!

Your tank(s) and tub are truly a 'Work of Art' ......... very nice!!!

same here....... wonderful fish..... and purty

I posted a pic in the lineup....... but it didn't make it to the contest..... soooooooo *sigh*

*sigh*

You're right on the 39W bulbs are 3' long.... that was another confusing thing I had to learn..... I have never tried the 10K bulbs....aren't they on the blue side of color???... maybe you can make the comparison and post here? so we can see the differences Thanks for the compliment on my display..... I hope it helps others understand the color thing....

The paper hanging on tank is 1 sheet of 24lb HP Bright White Inkjet. The camera is a Olympus C-2100. The pictures were taken at F2.8 1/50 http://www.thewebcastle.com/_FISH/ I had problems when I set up my T5 as to which bulbs to order. It was confusing for me so I made this album hoping it might help someone else. I initially started with: 4-39W_6000K_Midday_Sun_T5_HO this setup was way too yellow for me. Nothing in the tank 'popped' with color and I didn't enjoy showing it off to anyone. Now I have settled on the: 2-39W_Actinic_Plus_T5_HO plus 2-39W_6000K_Midday_Sun_T5_HO and love it. During the 'daylight' hours it looks great but when the Actinics stay on for the evening time, everything 'pops' with color. Thanks to WMAS I now can 'halfway' understand what everyone means by the different color in bulbs.

Can someone tell me if this Keyhole Limpet is spawning in my tank? if not, what is it doing??? http://www.thewebcastle.com/_FISH/Limpet_S...LimpetSpawn.MOV it's about 6.5 download movie.

Concerning..... 4 x 39W 6000K Midday Sun T5 HO Fluorescent would that be the best combination for the most sunlight(for my current setup-T5)? and more sunlight means better/faster growth, right???

Amen! If I had his tank in my home........ there would be no reason for a TV...... absolutely beautiful!!!!!

cool pipefish for sure.... I have one also......... my yellow tang and the banded pipefish are quite the buddies.... they hang out all the time together....

I knew I should have listen during Chemistry I want to know if my parameters are OK.... I researched online but depending on who you ask... it seems there are differences on where some of the parameters should be so I need to know if what I show is good... I am testing with Salifert kits and are all new kits. I am not having any problems within my tank at this point. no algae problems, fish in good health.... I just want to be prepared if you think something is too low.... I also don't have an ALK test kit yet(it is coming in the mail this week) ...... the Ca is my main concern, is it too low? and is the lowness caused by starting up the PhosBan Reactor 150? How do I make the Ca rise? I been adding 'Reef Calcium by SeaChem' but it doesn't make it rise( only gets up to 360(PM reading) then it falls back to 340(Morning reading). Suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!!!! PH 8.2 Calcium 340-360 Alk ? ( what should it be?) Salinity 1.025 Temp 77.4 Phosphate 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 0

Thanks for the putting my mind at ease... I get alittle worried everytime I 'add' something to my tank PhosBan Reactor 150 with PhosBan mostly because it is a HOT system as I do not have a sump :( I used the PhosBan because it is a name I have heard alot of and the ad said "A favored chemical filter media because it will not leach substances back into your aquarium. Largest adsorption capacity of any phosphate filtering media." I tried to do as much research as I could before buying the reactor and media but the information out there really confuses me (I am NOT a chemist) so hopefully, this system will do good for my tank....... hopefully Oh and it was on Sale........

soooooooo .. do you think I did a bad thing going from .50 to Zero...... *shriver* I am afraid of ruining everything I worked so hard for....... thinking I was doing a good thing......... UGH

Oh really?? Thanks for the headsup, john, I didnt realize that. I thought it was suppose to be run ALL the time....... thanks!

I am completely AMAZED at the difference in such a short time...... I bought a PhosBan Reactor 150 which is a H.O.T. for me. It arrived yesterday and I had it up and running by 8pm last night. I checked the phosphates before going to bed(8:30pm) and the test showed .50 (yes, I know that it is HIGH)...... I figured it would take a week to see changes but WOW!! when I woke up to get ready for work at 3:30AM..... the test showed ZERO!!! I am AMAZED!! and now a believer that a phosphate reactor is a MUST for my tank.... WOW WOW WOW
