Well mine never retracted but those in the LFS's have never looked like that retracted.
In my 19yrs of reefing, I've not seen a sebae with bubbles.
I'm not sure if you are asking that of me or Mr. Bill, but in my case, my filter is the live rock in all my tanks including reef tanks. In the case...
Keep in mind that NO ONE knows it all, and, there are many more than just a few ways to succeed. With that in mind, be sure to research as much as...
Dose the big 3 as you called them only as testing shows the need. As for trace element additives, I believe it's wasted money and I haven't used...
My Instant Ocean gives 50g mixed to a s.g. of 1.022. This means that for 1.026, you should only get 42.3g.
It's my thought that many hobbyist tanks are worse offenders than Marineland and some of them may be ones protesting conditions at Marineland.
Sounds good!
Yes, Kalk is a MAINTENANCE protocol not a booster of levels. I'm assuming though that you have the levels where you want them judging by your...
Not that I've ever seen. I top up all my tanks nightly with kalk water mixed 2t per gallon of water and siphon into the sumps after lights out....
If you want a real challenge then raise seahorses. Benthic fry like erectus are easier than pelagic fry like reidi.

As I mentioned in my last post, the smaller ones aren't available now. If you look at those links you posted and check "availability" you will find...
For the best source of seahorses you can't beat seahorsesource.com. Dwarf seahorses should be kept by themselves, or with mysid shrimp but not other...
I tried to find one of Randy Holmes-Farley's threads on the SeaLab products but the RC search is too slow tonight. Anyway, as Randy see's it, there...
I keep 2 or 3 serpent stars in each of my non seahorse tanks. When I tried them in my seahorse tanks, the cool temperature (68°) wasn't tolerated...
On my page, it shows this thread on Tropical Fish forum.
Tropical seahorses don't "prefer" colder water. We aim to keep the temperature cooler than they would be found at in their normal habitat because in...
I don't think you should be adding anything to your 30g tank. Instead, you need to upgrade to a larger tank for the fish you already have. THEN you...
I agree on variences from strain to strain and batch to batch. However, as most people (but not all) on this continent use cysts from the Great Salt...
