If you trade frags, please make sure you make it known that you "control" flatworms biologically, and there's a chance they are bringing home more than a coral :cry: I would never want to deal with...

I hate the little buggers. If you can get your hands on some flatworm exit it works well. They give off a toxic substance when they die, so you have to be REALLY careful. They can kill everything in...

Krylon Fusion paint in water

I want to darken one of the dividers in my sump to keep the light from my frag tank out of the skimmer area. Would Krylon Fusion hold up if I painted one side of the glass. Otherwise I'll need to...

Another skimmer cup full of light skimmate today, this one not quite so foul. Hanna Checker reading 0.00, so all the PO4 that was in the water column has been taken up by the bacteria and has either...

Soaking in RO/DI water first may have been a better way to remove the phosphate. Has there been success with that? I've read about the theory, but not seen any actual published results. Makes sense...

I plan to put the skimmer back in my display system tonight, and do a 30% water change for the new rocks. I'm sure more PO4 will leach out and the process will need to be repeated a few times.

My sugar/ammonia rock curing experiment

One of the problems with new rock is leaching PO4 that is bound in the calcium carbonate and from dead organics. The "dry rock" that I'm cycling in a spare tank was giving a PO4 reading of 0.8, and I...

I'd be more interested in the phosphate readings after 3 weeks.

It all looks good when you start out. A little patch of shrooms or ricordea here and there, some nice little acros. Then the Rics spread, and the Acros get so big you can't get at the Rics to scrape...

Anthony, do you have a link to more information about this. I wouldn't think they would be targeting fish and corals.

Cabinet Doors?

I'm going to be building a stand for my latest setup. Does anyone know of a good place to buy unfinished cabinet doors in the Lower Mainland?

If there isn't any livestock in the tank I would pressure wash it and set the tank up with it. Be sure add a few pieces of live rock to re-seed it. It's going to be loaded with phosphate so it may...

So many places to snorkel, you have to try them all! Are the Humpbacks still there, or have they started their migration? If you go to Molokini try to get on Quicksilver, it's a great trip!
