Probably 5-10% every few months. Shamefull really. Everything is always doing good though.

Doc, do you have a phosphate test kit? We buy GAC in bulk for our remediation systems (for both vapor and liquid phase treatment). I've snaged a little and have always wanted to test it for phosphate leaching. One of our sites uses 20,000lbs of GAC to treat vapor phase gasoline contaminants that we ...

The only things I can think of that are critical for my office tank is; 1. make sure the sump can handle up to 2-3 days of evaporation without letting the return pump suck air. 2. get fish that don’t need food everyday (most are ok with this). 3. (minor) Have a battery powered airstone that kicks on...

I think the turbos are on sale right now at etropiclas. Best place by far to order from as far a quality and customer service (check out feedback for Dr Foster&smith, liveaquaria, & etropiclas - all same company) The build-your-own packages has free shipping over $60. These people are the on...

You might want to also post over in the FL panhandle fourm on RC. I know there is a few of us over there that needs some more LR. Not that far from you either.

My pulsing xenia seems to be spreading great even though my 2 tanks run from 80 at night to 84 durring the day.

Actually it was meant for hcakebox. I accidentally must have looked at the wrong post and put Anjel instead. Thank you for kindly pointing that out.

hcakebox, Dont know if you knew, but there is a bunch of reefers up in your area that have a forum on reef central. Most of them are in North Alabama and would also be a good group for information, trades, or local meetings. The link is http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=167

I will be coming with Suzi. I dont plan on bringing anything however if someone is intrested and has something neat to trade, I could bring a polyp or 2 my green & lavander Protoplaythoa. See yall tommrow.

Have you checked for stray voltage? Do you have a grounding probe? I dont know if that could cause this.

24/7 for both my tanks. I dont monitor Ph regularly so I dont know if it causes swings.

My 46 gal bf at the office has a temp range from 80-83. I keep the heaters set at 80 to maintain it during the night and when the MH kick the temp rises to 83 durring the day. I've never had a problem with this. The fish and inverts could care less. All my corals don't mind as I get great growth and...

Just in case you still have that Pan World, you might want to check out this link for a mod to quite it down. I was thinking about getting a Pan World and doing playing with this mod for a closed loop on my 110 I'm setting up. I just didnt want to get a new one and have it crap out due to it:) Would...

Oh no! Busting out the Mohs scale:) While its theroreticaly possible since glass can drop down into the 5's based on percentage of amorphous SIO2 and steel can get up into the 6's, I think practical experience from most people is they have never had a problem with scratching the glass. Just be caref...

If you do entertain the ideal of breaking up, I would be interested in the live rock and one of the closed loop Little Giant pumps. I am still looking for those items for my own 120 I’m setting up. I may also be willing to pick up a few of the corals and/or fish if they were good deals. PM me if you...
