Is that an achilles tang in the right corner?

WOW that was one of the coolest videos i've ever seen.

I dont like cats either. And cool pics by the way

Do you use phosfree in a FOWLR only or can it be use in a mix reef?

It looks very nice.

2 MP60, less pumps inside the tank that 2 mp40 and 2 mp10 plus I think it will look much cleaner

I place a poly filter in the sump this morning and its turning yellow meaning that there is ammonia in the tank. Can someone tell me what is a good way to bring it down please? Or if just the poly filter is enough?

Steve I change my GFO every month and I use two little fishier reactor to do so. I will call you tomorrow buddy, Im only going to be home for a short time before I head out again so I wont have to much time to mess with the tank tonight.

Do you place the carbon filter before your RO/DI unit or after the water is filter through the unit? Can you pm me more info of the refiilable cartridge you use or snap a pic of it please?

I have not check my RO/DI water, i will report back with the readings.

I did a 35 gallon water change this morning. I will empty my refugium out tonight and look if anything has fallen in. Salinity up to 1.024 now. Frogspawns still not looking good.

I will bring it up with the next couple water changes. I do run GFO all the time but dont seem to help much. I dont leave close to any fields.

No i dont really dose everything since the parameters stay pretty much the same if I need to I will dose whatever is low. For example I would have dose the magnesium since is a little low but I wont since i will do the water change.

Good idea. I will pick one up on my way home today.

I will do a 25 gallon change tonight or tomorrow morning. I use 4 DIF-50 (50 watts) from Orphek 2 of them are on from 1 to 9:30pm 2 of them are on from 3:30 to 7:30pm I used to run them for almost 10 hours until 3 weeks ago when I started to see they started loosing some colors. I ran them for 10 hours a day for 4-5 months and never notice anything negative (To me it looked like the corals like the light thats why I ran them that long) but I cut back to see if that help but nothing positive yet. I also disconnected my refugium from the main tank (i have a power head and a heater to keep it going, hope its enough or should I have something else in there?) I did this because my refugium is in the storage and HVAC area and maybe some screw or something metal fell in there and I looked but didnt see anything. I will take everything out and double check again to be safe. Thanks to everyone that has posted

I use (i have only use since I started the tank) RC. I do a 10% water change every week. Corals had always look good until a week ago my acans started loosing color and the some sps and now my frogspawns.

I use hannas checkers to check for phosphate and salifer for everything else. Do you recommend to try something else?

Thanks for the article.

Salinity is 1.023 I did get a new heater like two weeks ago, and its working fine, jow can I tell if that has change anything? I have started to feed krill like two weeks and added a like 3 frags last week and thats about it.

No i dont have on but no is not that, i had my hand in the tank a few times today and i didnt feel anything.

How do I check for that?

Hi everyone, I need help something is definitely happening in my tank and I dont know what is. I have attach pictures to help you guys see what Im talking about. My SPS have lost their color and so have my acans, I have lost two acans already and im loosing my frogspawns heads, I can see tiny black spots in the tips of the frogspawns on a couple of heads yesterday and today I see it on 3 more. What can it be? and if someone knows how can I fix it the problem? Your help is greatly appreciated. Tank is 120 gallon with a 30 gallon sump and a 30 refugium. Parameters: Cal 440 Alk 8.4 Mag 1290 Phos .10 (im working on it I know is high) PH 8 Nitrate 10 (down from 25 3 days ago) Temp 78 I did a 13 gallon water change yesterday and I will do another one tomorrow.

I have the same question when I was looking at this pumps and as far as I know its the length of the power cord the only difference, thats what I found on their website. Great pumps I have 2 mag 18 as returns and a 9.5 for skimmer and 2 mag 7 for water change.

+1 on joining WAMAS. I wish I would have joined when I was putting my tank together I would have save a ton of $$$ plus there is a wealth of knowledge here and people are always willing to help if someone has a question.
