Run the same reactor material, as does pies and a few others. Never had measurable nitrate or phosphate.

are you sure its being attacked. they can lose limbs if unhealthy for other reasons.

you bugger, it was you that got those streams, I would have gone up a bit more but missed the auction as was at a fireworks show with the kids. Jetski reminded me the next day. Pop in if you get a chance, have a beer and pick up a sps frag or 2

Really appreciate that Mr and Mrs Skippy . And if I did take you up on that I'd be more than happy to pay the power bill as rent, well worth it o be able to keep all my stock. I'd be adding at least $200 to it Now all i need is that 1 buyer........
-
mmmm... How would you like your power bill paid for a month or 2
-
yep Skippy, quite a problem at the mo. Was going to set it up at the folks in Whangerai while i moved, (pay there power bill etc) but they are putting thier place on the market so ??? How big is that shed of yours

yep, thats the one, just watch him gobble up all your little tube worms. Thats all mine would eat for a couple of weeks - you know thats what he's eating by the colour of you know what :oops: Then he started eating frozen mysis, now he eats anything he can get to

happy birthday Wasp, Ive got one of those long nose yellow things, lovely fish, You'll see him when visit.
-
old argument, we all know the Layton is never wrong.... why bother.
-
your loss.

Pretty happy with my colours altough not as intense as say Craigs. Do have excellent growth with good large colonies. Welcome to come and have a look Reef, before its pulled down for the shift. Tanks looking stunning at present - typical.
-
I'm with cookie, my ph barely gets above 8 - ever - and my growth is crazy. Don't really want another 25-50% growth rate!!!!
-
mines very healthy, got a few spots just after I got him, but nothing since. His colours are stunning and glow, very fit. Funny cause he doesn't seem that aggressive, in fact had to put a mirror up for the first week as the yellow tank and lamarck angel harrassed him endlessly. Now they all get on fine - no aggression at all.
-
Strange because I would have thought that if it was light related, ther would have been variations in effect, given some corals would be in deeper water or more shaded positions. Why would your corals go brown reef, if you ran too much carbon/rowaphos?? Maybe growing more zooxanthellae to shild the light, if so why did Chimeras bleach, and not brown out.
-
I just wonder if something else hasn't occured. Seems strange to me that if it was just carbon clearing the water and strong light, that all corals were affected, even those on the lower levels of the tank. Wish Chimera would find those old 2 cent peices in his tank, would solve the mystery for all.
-
It may be Layton, my point being that a number of tanks are running the same lights, and are responding well, some very well.
-
Wasn't directing the comment at everyone. Post from you reef earlier in this thread stated that the new lights "fried his corals" and THEN the carbon further exasperated it.
