Red Mangroves (Rhizophora Mangle) are used as a means of natural filtration for fresh, brackish, or saltwater aquariums by absorbing Nitrates, Phosphates, and other organics.They can be planted in a sump, refugium, directly into aquarium, pond, or in decorative planters/pots.

Everyone that has an aquarium should have these plants. They help clean your tank and cut down on algae growth. They are a no maintenance plant that you put in your tank and let them work. The pictures shown are of the plants you will receive. If you have any questions please give me a call.

You will pay $15 each in the Aquarium Stores.

It was supposed to be more for my roomate, I split the cost with him and he knows a lot more about aquariums then I do. But things happen and now I'm attempting this myself.

We built our own pump/filter system, but I also added a store bought filter because we seem to get a lot of gunk on the top of the water. Right now all I have in the tank is 100lbs of liverock, about 30lbs of dry rock/dead coral that he bought for some unknown reason, 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 clowns, a leather that I just bought a couple days ago, and (this is where I expect the critizism) today I got a psychadelic mandarin goby.

My tank has only been up and running for about 4 months now. The only casualty I've had is a yellow tang. I think it was a bad buy to begin with because it was a very shy and timid fish, and rather small. He didn't eat at all and I tried seaweed clips and veg flakes. A couple days before he died he had a red splotch on its side that looked like internal bleeding, could anyone shed a light on that situation? ]]> Animalia http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/blog.php?b=39 Hostgator cpanel http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/blog.php?b=38 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:58:19 GMT *Hostgator cpanel* (http://www.cpanelhostgator.com) control panel provides a graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the...

I've had my 30 gallon tank going for about 6 months now, and still haven't introduced any sort of corals or plant life at all. Any suggestions about what I should introduce first, being the most hardy?? Also, I've been recommended a few products, "Bionic Buffer System," "Purple Up," and "Prime 1 & Prime 2." Does anyone have suggestions as to where I can purchase these online??

Server Load is expressed in a number format free webhosting and this number refers to the number of processes that are waiting in queue to access the processor or processors. This is calculated for a certain time period. It is important to note here that a higher number would mean a decrease in the level of server performance and therefore a smaller number is always preferable.

The web hosting account comes equipped with a control panel. The user can find out about the server load value from their control panel under the "Server Status" tab. Here the user can access the server load value in real time. It is very important for the user to keep himself updated about their server load value. The user must know how to interpret this server load value. While the server load issue could be debatable, always take into account that a server load value of 0.xx is considered a safe value. In fact, a server load that is under 1.00 value should not cause any problems with the speed of your website. The uncertainties could however arise if the value goes above 1.00. By default, most web hosting companies apply the following rule: if the server has a single CPU (central processing unit), a server load higher than 1.00 is not good; if the server has two CPUs, a server load over 2.00 is not good and so on.

These are average server loads and given the advanced expertise and technology adopted in the hosting industry, even a single processor server is powerful enough to handle a server load of 2.00.

When a low-level priority process appears, it is usually put in queue while the newer server request (like a page request) is handled almost instantly.

Also, here we are viewing server load as just an isolated aspect of web hosting. Other related aspects including memory usage, CPU usage, size of swap file etc also influence this server load. So, in case the server is running on insufficient internal memory, then it will use a swap file. This will put the hard-drive in over-drive and in turn increase CPU usage. This will lead to a higher server load and a slower server response.

The solution here therefore lies in increasing the internal memory or RAM. This would result in a lower swap file, lower CPU usage, lower server load and faster response speed.

So the user must constantly keep track of the average server load of his hosting account. If the server load is 4.00 most of the time, then you have reason to suspect that the web host may be overselling or overloading. In that case, the user must ask his host to resolve these issues or perhaps move their website to a server with a low server load.

It is just important to play safe or else chances are that your hosting experience would not be as enriching as expected. So, make a well informed decision and happy hosting! ]]> webhost http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/blog.php?b=32 Looking for help and advise please! http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/blog.php?b=30 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:36:11 GMT Hello.
