    Killing aiptasia... Nitrates??

    in General Discussion

    except for the "superman" aiptasia, the one i had cleared all of them plus all my feather dusters.

    It died when i was on vacation, however i believe it starved to death since there was no more aiptasia nor feather dusters left for it to eat.

     

    imo they are beautiful fish and in your 240 i think it would do fine, plus you wouldnt have to keep up the kalk another less thing to worry about. worth a try

     

     

    good luck

    wanted to give credit where credit is due.

     

    wanted to get a achilles tang and pmed John about a month ago. John immediately got back to me and stated that they were hard to get and told me to check to keep checking the stock list. Well about a month or so went by and i get this pm from John that stated he got some in.

     

    WOW!!! i even forgot i pmed him in the first place!!!

     

    great follow up and great service!!!!!

    An aqua timer you can purchase at Home Depot or Lowes would have saved you this issue. From a guy who has delt with leaking issues sorry to hear it.

    i concur, its the timer they use to for watering the grass, no electric componets, only drawcak is the max time is 120 minutes.

    Which Side of the Fence Are You On?

    how do you know if a specific frag is a LE Tyree?

    what proof is there?

     

    why cant someone sell a nice looking frag and label it a tyree?

    if it changes color, then that person can say it must be your lighting, water parameters, etc

     

    I dont mind the lineage but how can you be sure that you are truly buying something that is labeled "tyree"

     

    or from some exotic place?

     

    just being devils advocate

    Trades at the Winter Meeting Feb 16th

    in General Discussion

    dave.\, if you are interested, we can split it in half

    i also didnt want to spend that much, however $15 each would be okay for me

     

    let me know and let Chris know too

     

    chris would that be possible for that yellow table frag?

     

    thanks

     

     

    Hmmm... I think I'll pass then, I was looking for a little frag (for cheap!). My wife is already going to kill me for all of the stuff that I put on the credit card. Do you want to trade any frags instead? I don't have anything big, but I've got an encrusted Christmas Tree frag if you're interested. It's nowhere near 2x2, though, still hasn't fully encrusted a small plug yet.

    Who's attending?

    Anyone planning on doing the 1.15 mile hike from the Rockville metro station to the meeting and back? Looks like there may be a couple buses that go that way, like T2 maybe. I plan on leaving from the Springfield Metro station at about 11am if anyone wants to ride together from out here.

    Engineer Goby - Pholidichthys leucotaenia question

    in General Discussion

    I have had mine for 4-5 years now, it's about 6-8 inches long.

    I had first in a tank with sand, and they like to dig and make channels.

     

    now i have a bare bottom tank, and he just hids in the rock

     

    very shy fish, slow and seems that his eyesight is not so great either, have to hand feed it sometimes since the other fish eat the food faster than he can find

    uv sterilizer confusion8 wat

    in General Discussion

    · Edited by guppychao

    question, bit confused about the wattage requirements for different uv sterilzers. for example:

    the "twist" states that the 18 watt one is good for up to 250 gal tank

    however the "aqua" states that the 25 watt one is good for up to 150 gal tank.

    then you have the "Current" states that the 40 watt is good for up to 200 gal tank.

     

    i know each different UV uses different bulbs, T5, compact, vho? is that the difference?

    any have a 180 gal mixed reef with a small amount of fish total 7, will add at most 10 in the future.

     

    because the price vary among the sterilizers, which would you pick? the cheapest one?

    and there are the no name brands on ebay, but i would stay clear of those unless someone had a good experience with it

     

    any help would be appreciated

     

    thanks

    Anyone have experience with a leopard wrasse?

    in General Discussion

    I had 2 leopard wrasses for a couple of years in different tanks, both of them committed suicide and jumped out of the tank after being in the tank for quite some time

     

    in one tank i had some sand, however in another it was barebottom, both ate osi spirilena flakes but had to coach them to eat.

     

    good luck, great fish!!!
