I'll never understand a culture that cuts the fins off a shark, then throws the rest back. All while it's still alive, what a way to die!

BTW, I'm against whaling as well. No compassion for...

I'd be curios about what reading they're getting for temperature and PH when they claim that's what killed a reef.

I find corals to be very adaptable to temperature, and I've kept a healthy reef...

Yup, the darker side of human nature. A total lack of respect for the other creatures we share this planet with! :cry:

Absolutely! Captive bread fish are little harder, but many of us have tanks that are 100% captive bread corals.

From my experience with the 3 tanks I started this way, for fish you don't have to do anything different than you would with live rock, as long as you're seeding with live rock. Just start with a...

I've used DIY or dry rock for the last few tanks, and the seeding goes quite quickly. I never had a problem with a build up of Nitrate. The trouble is getting rid of the PO4 in the dry rock, that can...

Just bought this from another Canreef member, but it's a little too tight in the small skimmer area of my sump (should have made the frag tank area smaller) Comes with Mag 9.5 pump to overdrive the...

I can see how a nutrient spike could be an issue, that could be a lot of die off all at once. Before I used Algaefix I had scrubbed as much as I could off the rocks and let it collect in a filter...

Coralfix didn't hurt the SPS directly. It also killed any phito-plankton in the tank so the water becomes kind of sterile, and skimmate changes quite a bit. I wouldn't use it regularly like the...

Some algae can be impossible to get rid of no matter what you do. Your corals may die of starvation before you put a dint in the algae.

I would try to get your hands on some Algafix. It's not...

When I bought the Tunze 6105s a few years ago they only lasted maybe 6 months, and the shafts came loose. J&L replaced them under warranty. Now I just had the shaft corrode off one of the Tunze.

Curios about this as well. My DC-10000 controller has also packed it in. I'm running a smaller emergency pump while I try to sort it out.

I'd buy a new controller if I could, but no joy from RLSS,...

Sure I siphon once in a while. It's more for aesthetics, I like to keep my bare bottom clean :redface: Otherwise basting occasionally to blow detritus out of the inevitable dead spots.
