    My first ricordia!

    I like the tri colors. I saw a picture of a BB tank and the bottom was covered in a carpet of ric's. I'm going to try that next.
  3. the main problem is detris buildup. A lot of fish can be kept, with constant cleaning. Not allowing it to settle and removing constantly. You can accomplish by BB tank and heavy flow around the rocks to keep it suspended. Flow to filter bags keeping them cleaned out. setup skimmer properly and skim wet.

    Over due

    Perfect information. Do this with most of the softies, especially zenia, I do run carbon fresh carbon when I'm fragging a lot. Hard or soft.

    Chaeto Sump Barrier?

    Actually screen works very well glued to egg-crate in a vertical position, like a dam at the top of the divider. I would take a pick of mine but just to tired. Put the screen in on the flow side. So you don't clog up the crate holes. I have this setup with my 75 gal. sump using a PCX 40 external pump.
  7. Mike You know I'm not a member. But i hope the club will do something. I did what i could a few moments ago. This brought tears to my eyes. I pray for his family. The hardship left behind is so overwhelming. Please, everybody. Do all that you can.
  8. What lighting are you using? Temp, type.
  9. for some reason the XM 20X don't perform well on the Galaxy. They are outstanding with a PFO ballast tho. Did a test with them at Sunlight Supply. The output and par was very disappointing

    chaeto?

    I just tossed a good gallon of brillo pad. I usually take it to garrett but gas and 9 miles to the gal. It just wasn't going to happen
  13. And this is the same blue clove every one wanted?
  14. Put me down for 2 please. There not going to starve in my tank.
  15. You should post pictures in other sites. I think you could make money doing them. Nice job!
  16. If I post and go the "new posts" and cruse around I won't be able to find it again. Not just my post but the hole, yes hole thread is gone into the black hole. It doesn't matter if i use IE or Safari. So I just stay away. If you reply to this it i won't be able to see it!!
  17. Keep us posted. A picture at some point would be nice. I wish you (and her) the best.
  18. Just my opinion. Your doing tooooo much. It is VERY common for tangs to get ick. Especially when transported into a new environment. It is 99.9% stress related. Every water change, treatment and food change is causing more and more stress. SLOW down. It's the fish that will shed the ick as stress is removed. Give mild flow, nothing direct feed nori on a clip. Stop looking at it every 2 minuted like a monkey in a cage. A monkey would get so stressed it would probably throw poo at you! It,her, not the ick needs to relax. I brought home 2 blue tangs in perfect health from a very well established tank. Did all the usual good stuff. But in main tank and I don't QT. They where covered from fin to fin (T say head to tow) in a day I mead really heavily covered. I expected it. They where eating with no other problems. Like you said your lady was. I didn't do anything, no treatment no water changes, and no lookin at them on a constant basis It took them 2 plus weeks to get over it, all on there own. After another week of absolutely no spots i did a small water change, more for the corals than the fish. Non of the other fish got ick. and there has never been another one since. I have at-least 3 more tangs to get, blond, powder blue and, well I'm still thinking. If this is scaring the hell out of you, don't get a powder blue. I expect it will get ick as this is , again very common. I will say in the beginning, looooong time ago I freeked out with the tangs getting ick when they came home. I also killed them with too much love. Good luck.
