What test kits do you use? I remember there being a batch of salifert alkalinity kits that were off - so your params would test normal but actually...
ditto on what the other said. when I paired up my maroon clowns I had to put the little one in a plastic strawberry container with the onion mesh...
I didn't even know people sold corals in craigslist! If you're looking for a cool scolymia, just out the first one in that list, though $850 is way...
I have lost every single anthias I have tried (probably 5 now) - so, no more anthias for me!
I agree with bluetang08. But if you're not supplementing and it's a reef system, the corals are going to be pulling things out of the water that...
I'm jealous, though I am browsing at work, so it can't be all bad:)
I would siphon out as much water as you can leaving the sandbed in tact - putting all the LR and corals in 5+ gallon buckets and completely remove...
I did a similar thing with my 65gal - I have the cheato in the overflow and it grows well (I didn't have room in my sump)

give it to my brother, he will kill it quick...lol!!
I have an eheim 1620 for my 65 and it works like a champ - quiet and efficient. On my old setup I used a mag 7 but it was way too noisey to consider...
you don't have a mantis shrimp in the sump do you? I've heard that they are capable of cracking a tank...just a though. It does suck none-the-less -...
Since mine has grown pretty big, I guess I will save my money (and a clams life:) and just get another frag! thanks everyone!
I've had my copperband butterfly for a few years now and it's doing great - keeps the feather dusters out of my main tank and has cleared out all of...
