On my very first tank, I cured my rock with a DSB already in it. BIG MISTAKE!!! That's what Dr. Ron recommended at the time so that all of the...
Brown stringy stuff is typically a zooxanthellae expulsion. However, sometimes the coral is just going #2. Having the coral go white immediately...
Welcome to the forum!!! Are the uber-rare potato-fish less expensive there?:)
It's a good thing they had that radio. Otherwise, that would be a Bermuda Triangle story. Makes me wonder if they were chumming the water.
Goodnight Jonboy, goodnight Maryellen. ;D Just kidding....welcome to 3Reef!!!
Hey guys!!! Welcome to 3Reef. This is obviously Curt...I'm sure you've already noted the familiar banner in my signature even though the username...
Matt, Can you upload that pic to a free hosting service like photobucket so we can get a more detailed pic? The pic is so small that I don't...
It depends how long a condition has existed. Nitrifying bacteria can reproduce so fast that they put bunnies on crack to shame. Test it while the...

Don't worry about it. You have LR in the tank. Even if some Ammonia is produced by bacteria digesting the fish, the Nitrification process is...
Oops....we posted at the same time. Brown jelly isn't the remains of tentacles.....it's a fungal disease. Remove that frag carefully and snap off...
I think so too. (Second picture at almost dead center of the screen).
Technically the answer is no. You might want to remove each wheel several days apart and leave the filter in for water movement though. (I.e. the...
LOL!!! You don't know unless you don't ask. The only stupid questions are the ones not asked. It's one of the reasons I like 3Reef. People...
