Simon, the second frag is a birdsnest. An sps coral. Yes, you have been naughty. :rolleyes: L

I'm not familiar with that make of powerhead. But I've followed links to these power heads before and I'm not sure if the member ended up buying it. Or if they bought it, whether or not they liked it. Bear in mind, sometimes powerheads have an "advertised" power, but in reality, it's roughly...

Do all your fish have issues? :blink: Donya! What do you put on your water?! At least you have the spare systems. L

I think so. I know, right? LPS are awesome, I want a nice elegance for that tank too. I love my elegance. L

You're welcome. :)

Don't worry, we get the idea. Congrats they look great. :D

Thanks, he's eating well and he just a different fish. I didn't want another gramma. I loved that gramma, the other grammas I've seen are so skittish, but he was a fun, outgoing gramma. And this dottyback just struck me as having a similar temperament. I also like how he snakes around...

Yes, I'm very happy that I can see this tank continue to grow. I'll be ordering the 20k bulb for it very soon. Thank you PayPal! I said I wouldn't get a new fish, but I did... I caved. I saw this little guy in the coral store that I go to, he was in a tank with another spotted goby and a goby...

Good for them! Happy pair. Can't wait to see pictures of them. You all got a better pistol shrimp, mine is a tiger, what a pain to find a match for. L

Where do you get your supplies in the UK. I'm US, so I only know US vendors. If you send me a link to the website where you'd buy your supplies, I can have a looksy and make a recommendation from that. Yeah, what is the color temp configuration for the arc pods? It looks like two daylights to...

bump :whistle: These krib babies are just about grown up now! :hyper:

Ceramic tile floors. :D

Hi Biulu, nice to see this tank progressing well. I've not been around lately. It looks lovely. Good, lush growth. L

Yes, it is hoped the HC will cover that pink. Nice start, though, and I always like a planted tank that is put together with stuff that's lying around. L

You are the update King aren't you? Hope you're not as disappointed with Caz's update as you will be with mine. L

This will be interesting to say the least. I've kind of thought about an abstract sort of scape, but in a different direction. I don't have the patience to carry it out though and I'm loving my SW tanks too much at the moment! No, they don't match my decor, but coral sooooooo pretty! :D...

What I'd really love is a picture to confirm that it is indeed speghetti worms, but it's harmless. They are a common scavenger in reef tanks. :) L

Actually it does. When I setup this tank, it means that I'll no longer have a freshwater system. After 23 years, no more freshwater and the last 6 of those years have been planted tanks. I was planted moderator here before Ian was. I compiled its resource center. The expansion of that section...

speghetti worms?

Thanks stu Haha, I'd expect no less, Ian. I am going to the AGA convention, so who knows what that'll bring? I was inspired last time I went, but it's in St. Louis this year so no big ticket items because I can't lug it back. But if they ship... :rolleyes: Tom Barr will be there and he's...

ADA = Aqua Design Amano :D This tank marks the end of an era, Biulu. L

It's ADA and it shall be Marine... :)

Hey, Yeah and what an update. This tank will be taken down by summer's end, probably much sooner. It's growing pretty well. Some BBA on the the sag leaves, nothing much to report. But... I'm done with Planted tanks, at least while I live in Miami. The livestock is terrible, fish choice is...

Once you've done lighting from a single point source, whether it's LEDs or Metal Halides, it's difficult to go back to the relatively dead look of Florescent tubes. If I ever do another planted tank, more than likely I shall hunker down and use a MH bulb, suspended from a distance. Having...

I was that way too in the beginning. It's a lot to digest. It's a good read though. L

gsp are pretty. I know people think they are weeds, but I still like them. l

Nice to see you again. :) Glad you and the tank are doing well. Looking forward to pictures... Don't get too excited, of the tank. ;) L

You gonna get the pistol a goby? L

Hi Donya, my goodness. I still have one school to do. When I first got my acans, I did some reading. I normally don't link to other forums, but this article helped me out quite a bit, since Borneman doesn't really cover acans in his book. I have it book marked, here it is...

I love my pompom crab, his named Armand, and he is known as the stud of the reef cause of his sexy nems. I also enjoy my Duncan. He is a happy coral. Give the gsp time, they may sulk for a spell if something has happened in the tank. Mine sometimes sulk for a week. Try a turkey baster and...

Check it against the RO, if it measures 0, then you're fine. If it doesn't, use the screw driver that comes with it to adjust it until testing with RO yields 0. Hopefully your RO is infact, RO. Others use a calibration solution of a known salinity. I never have. I probably should. :look: L

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up. I'm only 5 years off. :o And there is a double topic, sorry, thought this question was about plants. LOLOLOL Oh well, know that you're loved by all. L

Have a wonderful Birthday, Ian. :bday: :bday: :bday: :bday: Like I said, stop playing with your rocks and wood for five minutes, get out, and celebrate. Big hug, L

:lol: Very funny! I'd think he'd smell more like a salad with all the plants he keeps. Take a break from playing with your rocks and wood, Ian, and have a wonderful birthday. L

It'll happen next week, I'm sorry Tyler. :( I'm supposed to be grading exams now. :look: I'll keep you posted when the polyps are ready for fragging. It'll be a while, but my goodness! Can you imagine a colony of God of Wars? That would be something else. I had a bit of an accident...

My favorite solution to this... Get more coral. Unfortunately, he needs things that suck up calcium. L

This was the first leak actually. This tank was very old, about 10 years and stuck in a shed for some time. Everybody's doing great in the 5.5g tank though. L

Hehe, time for you to catch up then. :D L

Nice Elegance. Is it Austrailian or Indonesian? Mine's Austrailian. I like firefish, yours looks great. :D The corals look good, Si, the only real worry is the salinity. But check your refrractometer first. It may just need to be tightened. If it is accurate. Then just lower the salinity...

Those are weird readings. Why are you getting ammonia? How much water do you usually change & what's your source?
