Is anyone in the local Phoenix Metro area interested in a healthy branch or two of Torch Coral? :snshne:

I added a diamond goby to my tank this past Saturday. I knew it was going to make some mess in the tank, but holy cow!!! this fish has re arranged the sand in my tank! I have LARGE mounds in one area and hardly any in another. He found several pod colonies and removed all the sand form under...

I am having a serious swing in temps. My chiller was set at 80 and my heater at 81...with that I was running at 78.5. I set my chiller to 81 and my temp to 81 and was running at 81.5....then the next time I looked it was at 79.5 . I set my heater to 82 and my chiller at 81 and now I'm at...

The epoxy is setting up on my Torch. Poor thing, I had a hard time removing it from the rock it was on in the other tank. I finally got it off with a screw driver, put it in a big bag because it is pretty large and had to have a CRAP load of water in it to cover it, I barely got it home, it...

I bought a Tunze auto top off unit and everything is in place, BUT.... I cant get the damn hose on to the socket of the metering pump!!!! The hose is much smaller than the socket. I already tried putting the hose in the socket, but that doesn't work either ( I figured I'd cheat and just keep...

Hi all ! Many of you know that I have been staring at the plumbing of a 120 that I designed for about 8 months now:o ….I took apart and reconfigured my dry plumb ideas a couple of times. Bottom line, if I would have trusted myself more and not freaked myself out this would have been done a...

I'm plumbing the closed loop of my new 120. I decided to run the chiller off of my CL. I have dry plumbed it as shown in the "before pump" drawing seen below. My question is, have I created a vacuum? I don't want water just sitting in the chiller. I have used 1" pipe throughout the closed...

Do I have to use plumbers tape/silicone (my choice) while tightening my closed loop lifters, the drain and bulkheads? I did not and assumed that the pressure against the gasket is sufficient. Is this right?

What the heck does IIRC mean :columbo:

Well, it's been about 4 weeks. It all started when my skimmer stopped performing. I knew that I should have immediately cleaned out the pump and injector, but I didn't....I kept saying "I'll do it tomorrow" this went on for a week (maybe more I'm embarased to say) Well, my levels increased...

Well, it has been about 6 months since I had to give up on saving my Red Finger Gorgonian. I realized shortly after I bought it, that it was not a healthy specimen. I struggled from the beginning. It fed, but I could tell that it could be doing better. I learned that the gorgs tissue will rot...

I just picked up a Milwaukee Microprocessor Waterproof pH & termperature meter :D It has to soak in RO for two hours to activate the electrode, then I get to calibrate and try it out. AND it's waterproof! for butterfingers like me :)

I'm dealing with an issue right now and need advice :) I have a large Torch colony. I keep it in the upper half of my tank under 260watts of 10k's and 03Actinics. I try to target feed it home made mush 2x's a week. About 3 days ago I noticed that one of the polyps was peeling away from the...

This tank is absolutely amazing! http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/totm/index.php His goal was to create a tank that resembled nature as closely as possible. I think he did. Check out some of the pics. And I thought this was interesting.... .....this is something I would...

How far do you keep your Torch away from other corals? I had my Colt in the same place as the photo of the Riccordia. I moved it because it was shrinking. Once in it's new spot it returned to normal. I moved the rock of Riccordia by the Torch....now.....it is behaving abnormally. I am...

My sitting room is dark. The lights are off in my 55 gal. The lunar lights are on and there is a blue hue in the tank. My Colt and Torch are settled and my large Hawaiian Fan is swaying in current. The fish are calm. I would show you a picture but it wouldn't capture it. This is the...

Does anyone remember something being said here about a new gadget that just came out? It was a Telescoping Baster:cool: Who made it?
