    Serpent star question

    [Well, I'm missing a fish...bluefin damsel to be exact. I know I don't have a mantis, cause I didn't have one before, and I haven't added any more LR. I just read something on RC, and was wondering if a huge serpent star could've eaten a weak damsel. If so, what and how do I need to feed him...

    Need some advice - Cloudy tank

    [As some of you have seen, my tank looks like I'm growing phyto on a large scale. Over this past weekend, I've changed out about 50% (75gal) of water. While I can tell a difference, I still can't see more than a couple of inches into the tank. I even went as far as to add a clarafier, and new...

    New ro/di - Not for the weak at heart

    [Well, I got the RODI system in today, and I must say that it's not bad...Its the 69.99 one on eBay. I was a little scepticle because nothing cheap is ever good, but this setup is decent. Now that I've got it in my hands, and have been compairing it to Marc's, I've seen what you are paying...

    Acrylic top

    [i'm not talking canopy here, just a lid to keep fish from jumping out of the tank. My idea is to use 1/8" plexi with 1/4" holes spaced out to aid w/ gas exchange. 2 questions: Will my 400 W MH melt the plexi Is this even cost efficient? Thanks Adam]

    Feeling really dumb

    [What makes a pest anemone a pest...what does it do to pester the tank? I'm doing research on getting one after I fix my current problems. I figured that it should be first, so it can get where it wants, then I'll add coral everywhere else. thanks Adam :beer:]

    My newest growth

    [I wanted to take a picture of my new coralline, but I thought that this was more interesting...At least something is alive. J/K so far, my snails and crabs are alive. I think my star is alive too, but as with the coralline, you cant see him. You all think that you are so special, cause you...

    Ro/di

    [Ok, after 2 months, I konw I need an RO/DI...My question is, what is the catch tank for? Would I need one if I want to pump the water into a 35 gal can for water changes? Can I shut off the ro/di when I don't need it? I think that's all the questions for now thanks Adam :beer:]
