DI resin alone will remove copper ions, but not particulate copper solids and salt, per se. Is the water line source from an RO unit to begin with?...
well, the pic's not the best but I'll take a stab.... it looks like normal sump detritus - It's a mixture precipitated solids (fish poop), various...
I own both a 90gpd "generic" RODI unit and a Spectrapure 90GPD MaxCap DI system.... NIGHT AND DAY. The generic has lame little DI piggy back...
Polar bear tank. Should be big enough.
Sounds like either Cyano or Dinoflagellates. Either way they usually only come up in newly cycled(cycling) tanks or when something is going wrong....
When was the last time you changed the bulbs? Metal halides are good for corals for about 8-12 months, and the T5s for 6-8months. After that amount...
Aiptasia X kills them sometimes also, but if any of the body tissue lives they will come back eventually...even if just from a few cells....
here's an old pic from when I first set it up... will find a more recent pic of how it's arranged now... [IMG]
my vortechs do that when they hit their peak power, which makes it look like a wave is crashing every so often. I kinda like the effect, and the...

Actually, that's somewhat of a myth perpetuated among marine aquarium forums/books/magazines/etc. In the worlds oceans maitotoxin, is much more...
Thanks, I was very leery of adding a clam to a new tank (it was right at the 1 year mark when I added it). It has always seemed good and healthy, but...

So I've had this T. Maxima for a bit over a year now, maybe 14 months, and it seems to be doing fine until very recently. Over the last week or so...
You try Strem? I know their catalogs have all that info, I imagine it's on their website somewhere. Also, maybe Alfa Aesar, but they're not as big...
wow, lost this thread for a minute.... So if I have some time this week I will make a batch of shells... see, I can't just make one... I have to...
That's a good point and one I hadn't considered... but it seems coraline grows where the flow from the returns and my power heads hits... so water...
Thanks All! Still gotta go get my tank a present
They would... in a matter of days. Coraline _LOVES_ borosilicate glass... I made some frag plugs once and within a week they were almost entirely...
Yes, the finished product is less than $1 worth of glass in it's raw form.... But it's MUCH more than that. There's other overhead. melting that...
