My pagoda cups grew slowly by making new skeleton on its edges. It did not encrust the adjacent rock. Also my pagoda skeleton was extremely dense and hard to break. Mine grew very slowly but was...

Could you explain why you now think it is an alien eye versus a red watermelon after all this time? I hope it all goes well, but I just want to know. If you think details would be better in a pm,...

I would check phosphates with a colorimeter and use some GFO passively in the sump. Work on getting that skimmer functioning by keeping a constant water level to it. Do you check your salinity with a...

I've ordered before, and been very happy with everything. Ken always has great stuff and the blue zoos are really beautiful.

The nitrate stands way out as a problem. You should get that number a lot lower maybe through the use of more live rock, deeper sandbed, a fuge with deep sand, or increased protein skimming. I would...

I agree...with all of you. Kalk is great, but not for everybody. The mixing, the dripping, and the small amount of kalk used without raising the pH might make supplements easier. In a small tank,...

I am not a tattoo fan, but I am in the minority. The only negative I see is the script writing of the word "PAIN". It looks like "PAW" to me. Since it is such a bold statement, maybe have it cleaned...

I'm still following the Hawks despite being in Hawaii. I finally get to watch "home" games too. Kane and Toews are unbelievable to watch. Now if they could only beat some losing teams, that would be...

My opinion would be that the lighting is far too low for such a deep tank as a 90. Do you have 1 halide or several? If it were me, I would have at least 2x250W bulbs with T5 or VHO actinics to accent...

I agree that wet/dry sandpaper is the way to go. The kits have several grits that need to be used in order to get the best results. My kit had 1500, 2400, 3200,4800,6000,8000, and 12000 grit. The...

No advice on who to do it, but it is easy to do yourself. I bought the kit from Premium Aquatics and it really kicked butt. I highly recommend it. Are you doing it in the tank, or outside? I wouldn't...

Do you test salinity with a refractometer? I would also be interested in the ammonia level and would like to see a full tank shot. That might show a hidden cause. Anytime I can't find a problem, 25%...

I agree with lowering it. Mine did best under PC lights and kept a vibrant blue. You may have a dark corner of the tank you could try for a while.
