Thanks JohnO. I took your advice and aimed the return toward the center of the front glass. I then mounted a powerhead on each side panel, one aiming...
Ok, so here is the dilema. I have 2 maxi-jet 900s, a maxi-jet 400 and one of those silly powersweep 212s (seized in forward position, don't they...
Cool, thanks amcarrig! I don't have any SPS, as I'm too cheap to spend the money on MH ::). I'll keep an eye on the little buggers. So, now I'll stop...
While spending some time staring aimlessly into my refugium and observing my lovely gathering of 'pods, I discovered a flatworm cruising around on...
Tank looks good! [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] Unfortunately, I'm stumped at this point, my nitrates are at 10 and my caulerpa just doesn't stop growing....
If you haven't read this already, it could prove useful: http://3reef.com/refugiums.shtml Do you have any livestock in the tank or something to...
I personally advise a 24/7 lighting schedule for caulerpa in a refugium. Light cycling can actually cause the algae to go 'sexual', often resulting...
Yeah, I had that thought also. Fortunately, nothing died today. Who knows, maybe it was just one of those sudden passing type of things, or perhaps...
Do not follow that link! Doing so may seriously impair your ability to think and function on a day to day basis. Avoid aluminum foil, and be sure to...
Don'tf feel bad, my tank has been setup for 2 and a half months and I just found my first coralline spot on my glass last night. I will have to say I...
Thanks Craig, JohnO and reefman, karma to you all! ;D
:o Ok, I'll avoid the drip method for the next one. The Fu was from a fish only display tank, and I never trust the water in those cases, even if the...
I'm not sure what the best would be, my fuge has some razor caulerpa under an 18 watt, 6500K power compact fixture and the stuff is growing like mad....
The last Fu was acclimated using the drip method over a period of about 4 hours. I suppose I will let the next one go a bit longer. The food he ate...
There are a few things that can lead to caulerpa demise. Low water temperature, Iron deficiency or inadequate lighting could all be possible things...
Thanks amcarrig! A little karma never hurt anybody, unless it was bad of course! Thanks for the link Craig. I know of the potential difficulties in...
OK, the SeaTest Ca test (from the makers of Instant Ocean) still reads 330. This test uses is a 3 part test, 1 powder and 2 liquids. Using an...
Well, I found that either I'm the owner of a bad calcium test, or my kalkwasser addition last night was super stuff. After discovering a sick fish...
I noticed this morning that the fu's color was fading and it appeared to have blisters along it's dorsal spines. I first freaked out a bit, then took...
Good question amcarrig, I have yet to find a mag test kit around here. I suspect that is probably the problem, and will hunt for one online.
