hmm, nice... I'll deploy this tactic after I buy my firefish!

I dunno... To me if someone isnt willing to take 30 minutes ever other weekend to do a water change, they may be in the wrong hobby...

nice, I'll look into that

welp, apparently the spray injector doesn't work very well if there are cerith snails stuck in it... go figure ... I dislodged them and now its running like a champ again! Thanks for the help! what is the "1inch nozzle"? is that the spray injector? And where does one buy these?

The Mag 24 is only 6 months old... how often should one replace the impeller? Thanks, I'll do that! Hopefully that will be the root of the problem.

I've been scanning the intranetz for some help with my EV 400 but I have come up empty. I know how to operate it, and the skimmer has been running great for about 6 months or so, but now all of a sudden I'm having a hard time getting it to stay at the proper water level, and it isnt creating bubbles up the tube any longer. What are the steps I should take to try to fix the issue? Do you think this is probably just routine maintenance that needs to be done to the pump or something? Its a mag 24 plumbed with a ball valve. what are the steps I should take for maintenance on a spray injector? off hand I was going to viniger bath the pump, but is there anything in the EV 400 that needs to be checked, like the spray injector? thanks for any help.

Do you have a lid on your tank? Or just hopeing none of them commit suicide?

that sucks man! I have flooded my basement at least once a year since I started this hobby a few years ago. Shop vacs are a "must buy" in this hobby IMO.

Ya, a little ticked off that I just missed this new exhibit by a couple of weeks... We only go there every few years because of the ludicrous prices.

i've been doing a lot of research around the web, havent heard any ill effects on any types of coral from the medication. Its always the same thing, that if you have a large infestation, they will die and release toxins in the water. The toxins can kill anything living in your tank if you let it sit.

No really sensitive corals, and these are not the AEFW, they are the rusty red colored ones... not really a threat to anything, just really ugly and annoying.

OK, i'm a boob... I let flatworms get out of control in my DT. I've ordered FWE from the interwebz and while it is on its way, please post here your experience with FWE, and any do's and dont's that may help me out here. Here is my plan: I've waited too long probably and there is going to be a ton of toxins released by these little Mother McMuffins when they die, treatment on a 110gal tank. -syphon as many as I can before hand -drop a couple of large bags of carbon in the sump -dose 110 drops of FWE -syphon as many dead flat worms as possible during the treatment. -after about 4 to 6 hours do 33gal water change. thoughts on the plan?

first make sure your water params are good. They could be reading 0 because the GHA is feeding on all the nitrates and phosphates. Therefore, you gotta make sure there isnt something in the tank feeding the GHA Nitrates and phosphates (locating the source of the problem is the first step). if thats all good, find a good GHA eater like rabbitfish or scopas tang. Some fish dont like the really long GHA so you need to manually remove it until it is short enough for them to eat.

is that the same stuff as the braided flex tube from Home Depot? I just use the nilon connector with the metal fasteners for that.

Where was this post when I needed it??? I bought a chunk of Kenya Tree from someone who said it was Colt coral like a year ago, I didn’t find out until I gave some to someone at the FFE that it was Kenya Tree. I also made my Foxface Lo a permanent frag tank resident because I thought he was nipping the "colt coral" and making all of the branches fall off, when in fact... It was just a piece of crap Kenya tree spreading its branches all over my tank lol. The GSP has come in handy for me though... I used it to cover up some of the pipes on my closed loop. And I like how large chunks of it sway back and forth in the flow.

I prefer PVC... Not because it is cheaper or looks cleaner, but because you get a nice buzz from the glue

ya thats why peeps should go see for themselves, I could have just caught them on a rough day or something.

I just put a forum buy post in the members discussion forum. When you follow the link you can get the Seneye Reef for 108.00 after shipping which is 60.00 off, and you get a free LED refugium light with the purchase. There is also some decent LED fixture prices on there. Cant see the members discussion forum? Good time to become a member then lol

Haha. Nice

I've found a couple of reviews. Mostly people are happy with it, but none of them had a quality PAR meter to compare the par findings from the monitor. Also, I believe you just have to buy the ammonia and PH slides once a month, but you dont have to. I think you can just use it to monitor your lights, but I don't know if you have to pay a monthly fee for the cloud monitoring. At the very least if the light monitor is accurate it would make it worth the purchase.

http://www.seneye.com/store/seneye-reef.html came across this while researching PAR meters after the FFE frag placement thread. Anyone try this thing out? Seems way too good to be true.

ooh, DIY! im in...

i've been wondering about these things, cant wait to see how it performs.

not sure if it bleached before or after the dip, as I did the dip right when I got home from FFE. I need to get a PAR meter darn it! I hear they are quite pricey.

I too got 2 very large pieces of a chalice that are completely white. I'm holding out hope that they turn around for me, have them at the bottom rack of my frag tank, but I'm thinking they are getting too much light. I might need to make some sort of shaded area for it.
