    Breeding Percula Clowns

    I have a pair of breeding percula clowns who have raised over 10 successful batches of eggs all the way to hatching. The eggs have eyes after about a week and look perfectly heathly, but I don't want to mess with breeding them. Has anyone ever had luck feeding live rotifers around hatching...

    Moving an established Maxima Clam

    I have a Maxima Clam that has grown too big for the rock hole he mounted to. It's not a problem yet, but invitebly it will outgrow the hole. I've heard they will move on their own, but not sure. Should I try carefully pulling his "foot" loose and moving him myself?

    More SPS polyp extension at lower specific gravity?

    I had this posted in the SPS section, but no replies. My freshwater auto top-off dumped a bit too much water the other day and brought my specific gravity down to 1.020. By the time I noticed it, 10 hours had elapsed. I've seen this before, when it happend last time, but all of my SPS polyps...

    More polyp extension at lower specific gravity?

    My top-off dumped a bit too much water this morning and my specific gravity went down to 1.020. My water is running at 79. No big deal, but same as last time the S.G. got this low, I noticed better polyp extension on all of my SPS. Has anyone else noticed this?

    ASM Skimmer Owners - Venturi Mod?

    I have a ASM G3 skimmer with the gate valve mod and have had ok results, but have always had a nagging problem with microbubbles. A while back, on my other tank, I had a Turbofloter skimmer that I had tried a venturi mod on and had good results. More skimmate, better control, and was able to...

    Too much flow for fish cruel?

    I finally figured out my micro bubble problem and have been able to open my Mag18 up to about 80%. I'm wondering if this is too much flow for my perculas and yellow tang. The video is grainy, but you can see some particles to get an idea. I have a Mag18 w/1.5" return with two 3/4" sea swirls...

    Just set up my first Calcium Reactor - Chamber flow?

    I just set up a Korallin CR with Milwaukee regulator and PH controller. I have it set to 10 bubbles per minute and 40 drips effluent. My CaribSea ARM media is not bubbling like I thought it would. I see flow through it, but thought it would be more turbulent. I have it fed with a Microjet...

    Cleaner Shrimp Rock!

    I finally was able to add a cleaner shrimp to my 60 cube. I tried one before, but my spotted hawk swallowed him whole in about 2 minutes. I've been battling a case of ich that broke out after I downsized to my cube. I've read everything about Ich and have treated it with feeding/heat...

    Calcium Reactor Automation

    I finally found a Calcium Reactor setup. It's a Korallin and has a milwaukee regulator. Is the SMS122 PH Controller by Milwaukee the best, cheapest route for a PH controller? And is $99 shipped a good price including calibration liquid? Or should I hold out for an AquaController?
