Nukeproof, Well, you are the guy that suggested the idea to me! Yeah, I'll try to keep as much of my old water as possible, to lessen the shock. I'll let you know how it goes. Did you still need the HOB? I found this stupid prizm skimmer thing, but can't seem to find the whisper. It might be at...

northbay-reefer , I'll be at the next meeting. That thing does seem to be a fast grower!

I hear Knop koralvit F is very good for clams.. even though they dont seem to require extra nutrients, from what I have read they like the stuff a lot.

lol.. they are not in danger of that by any means. :) just wanted to make sure.. sometimes critters like minimal flow so they can puff-out better.. Anyways.. thanks again!

in Tiburon I get about 100tds from the tap... I still make my own salt and top off with RO/DI though..

Hi one quick question... the area I put them in has some random flow and it shakes the mushrooms a bit.. is that too intense for them? will they be bothered by that? I put my hand there and it doesn't seem very intense (the flow) but it moves them around a bit. Just wondering.

I tested my tap in tiburon and am geting about 100 tds.

I know my BT is 100% a goof-ball... I love that fish.. but they grow sooooooo fast. wow. doubled in size in 1 year! :O

Big thanks to TikiDan for the mushroom rock! I love it... but it took me like an hour to find the perfect spot for it.. then I moved other stuff around.. before I knew it it was tank critter re-arranging night. lol. ANyways.. pics later when the lights are on. :) Super cool to meet you Dan...

they are filling their air bladder for better boyancy control I think... either that or trying to belch the alphabet. ;)

Hi Tuberider, I'd like to give this a shot.

Well, I really don't know the funkiness of it, really. It's not really a DSB, I'd say it's about 1 1/2"-2" deep. I'm worried more about the future developements, rather than its current state. There should probably be some water exchange even at its deepest points. I'm hoping that would retard...

Breaking the tank down? God, I'd really hate to do that. One of my reefkeeping mantras is " Don't Screw Around With The Tank". It seems whenever I move stuff around and rearrange rocks I'd get a spurt of algae growth. I imagine that would be from disturbing bacterial populations, or changing...

sweet! ty.. I'll pm you when I get back! :)

I'll do it slowly and carefully, no rush involved. Do you think there will be any adverse effects from its removal? The original thinking was that a little more surface area for mineralization wouldn't hurt, so I replaced that funky old bed during the move (I'm a genius). More and more, I think...

Yeah, that makes sense. I figure by removing 70-80lbs of substrate I'm seriously altering bacterial populations. I really don't want to start a little cycling event by doing so, since the tank is stocked and rolling along fairly well. My rocks are sitting on the sand, though. Would that make a...

About a month ago, a fellow BAR member (nukeproof, great guy! One the the nicest reefers I've met, he's the guy that introduced me to BAR in the first place) and I were BSing about my setup. He mentioned that my sand bed was a potential time bomb. I kind of dismissed it at the time, but I've...

Hi! wow... thanks! I am going on a trip but will be back Monday... maybe we can hook up next weekend? are they on a rock of some sort?

Oh yeah, I think I do remember signing in....Well, they say the memory is the first to go. Subdermal transmitters? Dude, I've really got to sit in on one of those BOD meetings. It appears I've been missing out on some cool ideas. There does seem to be some resistance to the idea, so maybe we...

That is not a bad idea. But how're you going to keep track of meeting attendance? The last one I went to in April, I don't remember getting carded at the door ::)
