Ahh, I see. Cheers for that.

I have a 6055 but couldn't see how you can connect a battery to it (it mentions it in the instructions but didn't say how to).. do you need some other thing to be able to hook it up?

Well he's looking a lot better today - only a few white spots here and there but much less than last night.. Still no other fish seem to be affected so it's looking up a bit. It's not the cost of a QT tank which puts me off but the fact that I'd have to pull apart my display tank to catch the...

Thanks guys. I don't reckon there's any way I could catch him without ripping the whole thing apart and that's out of the question. I bought some Garlic Guard at lunch today and am going to start doing 10% daily water changes..

Thanks for that. Looks like I'm up a creek without a QT tank. I guess it's just crossed fingers and water changes. What are the odds of the coral beauty surviving with ich? Only one out of my six fish has it (that I've noticed so far) so is that one destined to die or could it pull through? Are...

They're just single spots dotted around (from what I could tell anyway).

As the title says, I just noticed my coral beauty I bought a couple of weeks ago now has whitespot. :-( I don't have a quarantine tank and even if I did, I doubt I could catch it because I have quite a lot of LR in there. Is there any reef-safe treatments or anything I can do to improve my...

lol yeah, I went through the same thing when my shrimp molted for the first time.. even though I'd read all about it and was expecting it, you can't help but wonder if it's dead! I always leave my shrimp's exoskeletons in there.. I don't know if it's the shrimp who eats it but by the following...

:lol:

I have thin latex gloves which I wear for certain tasks like moving zooanthids, etc but most of the time I don't wear gloves so I voted sometimes.

Makes perfect sense. I thought when typing it "some smart-arse will come and prove me wrong" so I added the AFAIK bit to cover myself :P

A skimmer is not biological filtration like live rock is. Their functions are completely different. So, while adding more LR is always a good thing, it doesn't make a difference with removing the skimmer. AFAIK, a skimmer has no relation to phosphates either. If you have a sump with a refugium...

Sounds like Somatella varia to me.. completely harmless algae grazer. Here's a quote from reefkeeping.com about them: Also, here's a link to a thread I started a few months back asking a similar ID question about them. With regards to what stance to take on hitchhikers, I say take 'em one at...

It is quite a leap from 10.4. Apart from the vast array of improvements which they don't mention a lot of because they're only small things (but add up to make quite a difference), I'm finding most things to be considerably faster - especially mail & finder. :lol: The number of packages...

:lol: I got promoted at work and wanted needed to splurge a bit. I think the powerhead is brilliant! There's two dials on the controller which you can use to set two different speeds for the powerhead then another which controls how fast it switches between those flowrates, making a pulsing...

As the title says; anyone using Leopard on their mac yet? We got it at work on Monday and I got my copy for my macbook today and am loving it! Just wanted to see what other people think about it if anyone around here has upgraded yet?

I recently treated myself to a tunze 6055 + controller & photo-cell which makes it slow down at night. I have it on pretty much the lowest setting for that and haven't noticed any ill-effects in the tank (and no pH fluctuations).

Got the capacitor from Sophos today (thanks again for that!) and it works!! :clap: :kana: :- :hooray: :drink: :band: :beer:

Thanks again sophos! Very kind of you. :good: Now we just need to see if there may one day be something I can help you with and repay the favor rather than always the other way around :blush:

I've often wondered how corals know the exact night when it's full moon and all start their mass-spawning and so found this article quite interesting (and so thought others might, too!)... Quoted from New Scientist 27th October 2007 pg 21:
