Let's see... #1 leaky ca reactor, #2 skimmate reservoir(for excess skim) overflowed, and had a fairy wrasse make it into my overflow and plugged it...
Sorry I didn't respond earlier... my niger is awesome and appears quite "safe". Sadly though, this is by far no guarantee that you'll have the same...
Thanks... the bi-color is a blenny and yes, it's a nigger trigger. He's pretty cool, so far and I'm sure he'll remain so, but there's always a...
I use an ASM gx1 recirc mod and am completely happy with it... it sits in about 8" of water. My favorite site about info, etc on ASM skimmers is...
A 50/50 mix of Oceanic and IO... both are high in those additives that seem to be the major areas of want in a good salt mix: calcium, alk, and...
IMO, if that pic is your clam, it looks terrific. Not quite sure if your measurments of the alk are correct(4.5mm/l or is it 4.5meq/l?). Either way,...

Looks like the beginning of cyanobacteria... can you get any closer pics???
On top of the high fish load, you are using wet/dry media(aka. nitrate factory), but due to your high load of fish would seem more beneficial than...
I'm pretty fond of my bicolor blenny... other than him would be my 6 line wrasse. Both for the way they act and their personalities... dunno, could...
pods... they're just reef food. They're a good thing. Jason
I agree with the probe... do you have any kind of wrasses??? IMO, blood shrimp are way cool as are skunks, but when first molted, they are extremely...
asterinas, I believe... small and spread qiute rapidly. Although, I have had no real troubles with them, others claim they're a pest. The worm looks...
