Yea thats kinda high! And won't that hair algea kill it off anyway if it spreads?!

Amanda you could test the next day for nitrates. Do you have many "dead spots" in the tank with little water movement? if so this could cause nitrates to build up. Get a couple of cleaner clams too. they work wonderful in my opinion. I got mine while I still lived in P'cola from the lagoon...

I agree with snoop on the non use of mechanical filtration. I have a 120 gal. with 3" sand bed and about 200lbs LR. I have a skimmer but only use it for 3 or 4 days a month. I have WAY less problems since going to this method.

I would get as much LR as your budget will allow though.

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of months ago, Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost ALOT of fish with no explanation. All levels were perfect. But everything is great once again. I would do a 25-30% water change for good measure though.

Dave

will you ship? if so how much to 93556. i am interested in the gen x.

Thanks,

Dave

No California. Why do you ask?

Dave

Thanks Scott! I thought they would be ok. I may try to take them on the plane with me since it is a navy flight and don't have to go throught the same check in process and I know they would be handled alot better by me.


Dave

Thanks for the replies! I just have to find a way to get them back to Cali. I think that softies will be ok fed ex overnight.

Thanks again,

Dave

I just have a quick question for you guys and girls. Can I collect some soft corals in the Key West area? I am going on a trip there with the Navy and was wondering if I could get some cool corals or fish there. Is there a web site that I can look up to see what is legal to get and what is not? Than...

Can you let me know if you put any of this on ebay as I am in Ca now?
Thanks

Are you willing to ship any of this stuff?

I found the same salt I have been using under a different name on Premiumaquatics.com http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SALT-ME-50&Category_Code=Salt it is great! check out this article http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-03/rs/feature/index.htm Dave

they don't have to have a brackish tank do they? I have one in my 120 reef and it seems to be really happy. My sand bed has never been cleaner.

Dave

Where In California? I am in Ca. now and don't find many good corals, I can get all the cool fish I have room for but just not many corals.

He is really active in the tank. But I haven't seen him cleaning the rocks yet. He loves to swim in the current of the power head! I got him for a steal too. The LFS was supposed to get me a clown tang but forgot so I got the tennenti for $30. I also just got a HUGE saddle anemone with a clarkii too...
