Mabuti! Maligayang Pasko! (Translation: Great! Merry X'mas ) ;) I miss New year's there...with all the fireworks! I haven't been home since 1999...caught New Years. Lively as ever. 4th of July here in the U.S. ain't got nutthin' on Philippine Fireworks! A neighbor once shot off a whole...

Definitely looks like diatoms. The first thing looks like a feather duster. Hard to tell though. How's the weather there? I grew up in Makati, myself :)

Don't beat yourself up. ... happens to the best of us. But definitely +1 lesely... never addb things you can't test. I would test your tank and new water for phosphates. Ifb you ate doing water changes worth water that already had phosohates, you are simply adding them back in. Hope you can...

Ok that was TOO funny :ROFLMAO: That makes sense, actually.

When you moved them, how did you acclimate them to the new tank? Unless they shared the same water system as the old tank, you would need to acclimate them to the new one, I would assume.

What are you doing with the old one? Moving it to another room?

+1 ted You might not even see a cycle because of the live rock. Just watch for die off. I would stop using nitrate reducers. There is no need for it if you are doing regular water changes. Like Ted said...it might be screwing with your readings. The once a week water changes will suffice...

I had a yellow eyed kole tang. He was an asshole LOL Had to give him back to the LFS after a year or so. It was a bitch catching him. But finally caught him with a home made trap. Punk. I totally cheered when I caught him.

It comes with an automatic locking mechanism so it can't get loose. But I also plan to put a knot on the rope, just in case. This sucker ain't doing a thing unless I let it. It can hold up to 100 lbs. It used to have hooks for the bikes, but we just unscrewed them and drilled holes into the...

Hubby hung them up! We got a pulley system (one that is made to lift bikes up to the ceiling). Cost around $20, so not bad! We haven't organized the wires yet. Waiting on one 3 more cables before connecting the lights to the controller, then we will tie up all the wires neatly. Then...

There is no need to cycle with fish. You get the same results with fish food, and you don't have to worry about fishing those little devils out later. Damsels are a**holes. +1 everyone else on fish food. I cycled my 125g with a cube of frozen fish food. Did fine without fish, same (and...

My 45g that I used to have had 0 nitrates because of the chaeto. Made my job easier.

Kids don't need extra rooms to live. Fish do lol

That is how reefer addicts roll! No space? No prob! Just tear down a wall!

Sorry, just saw this post.....I previously used a large 32g trash can, too. It wasn't brute, but I've had it for a few years now and hasn't had problems (although the way it bows out is scary LOL). Since getting back into hobby mode, I did buy a 55g Brute trash can that is obviously stronger...

Once I get my feet wet (pun intended) with easy softies, then I will most likely graduate to harder coral. I have to figure out now what best color spectrum I want (and that corals will like). I figured out the Storm controller settings. It's simple enough. I"m setting it based on long/lat...

+1 everyone...my clown has decided he is in love with my overflow (even gets sucked in once in a blue moon)...yet he stays there...unless it's feeding time. He wiggles vertically half the time. I've had him since day 1. If you have enough water movement, then he should be ok. We would need...

Cool. That frag tree is interesting. How many plugs can it hold? I like how you call your LED's "Chinese LEDs" LOL So many LED makers out there now. It's gotten easier to find more affordable ones. What controller are you using for it? I'm trying to decide how to pick a good color...

Me too. Loo Hubby is making a setup so I can raise and lower them.

Woohoo! Mental note to self...don't look directly at the light 12" from your face while plugging it in. o_O:cry::eek: Idiot!!
