I don't care what it does until next week. Summer vacation sucks when it is raining. dsoz

Baby bottle nipples? LOL dsoz

I believe that I read somewhere that bacteria use 16 nitrate for every 1 phosphate. Therefore, a little phosphate in the water will still work on reducing a lot of nitrate. GFO is still a useful tool in the fight to keep nutrients down. dsoz

Welcome to the group. +1 to what they said above. dsoz

Very nice tank, and good camera skills. dsoz

I have two branching cyphastrea, and three different encrusting cyphastrea. These are all in my 75g with a 6 x 54w TEK light. Of the branching type, I got one from Rose City about a year ago. I did not know it was a branching one then, because it was encrusted over a frag plug. But now it is putting up a whole bunch of branches that are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch tall now. The other one I just got from Upscales about a month ago. It is a single branch encrusting over a golf tee. I have not had the chance to break it off the tee and mount it in my tank yet. I would say it would be worth it to drive to portland and get a couple of different corals from the different stores rather than buy from Drs. F&S. I don't have anything against them, but I paid $15 from Rose City, and the one I got from Upscales was in the 3 for $40 tank... Even with paying $30 for gas for the trip, you would still be saving money. dsoz

Mine is in the tank, but I have not checked it out since it went in. Been busy with the family watching movies. Wegotjs got his on my way home. Actually it is just me and the wife watching netflix. dsoz

Eric, I bet you were trying to beat the most number of users on line at one time record... right? looks like 47 today. Far short of the 279 back in '08.

Gabe, you seem a little late today... Twice in a row. LOL

Ya. It was 12:52. I hit the refresh button, and nothing new came up... Completely serious. Then I posted that and about 10 new posts showed up... Jon and I live about 2 blocks away from each other. If you work something out with him then also give him mine at the same time. dsoz

I wonder how many times I can post in 1 minute... test

How about #14 dsoz??? That would make it easier for you to post.

Please share my support with your wife. I lost both of my parents in the last 7 years. It is difficult at best. I feel the pain your family is going through. I am glad that we can be a joy and a distraction from life. dsoz

Welcome... welcome back? You know what I mean. You may think that your tank looks down, but the pic from "tonight" is still lovely. Things may be a little mad, but they still look good. dsoz

These ones... They are purdy... I like. dsoz

Ohhh. Honey, will you move that rock over there... No, put it back, I liked it where it was. That is not just a female thing. I re-aquascaped my tank about 20 times before I got too many corals to do it any more. Once they start to attach to the rock, you are pretty much stuck with the rocks that you got on top. LOL. Nice start. You may want to re-think the BTA. If they are happy, they can grow up to over a foot in diameter. That would take up more than 3/4 of your tank. Usually they will split before they get that big, but some are known to get HUGE!!! Also, Clarkii clowns are not "natural" hosts for BTAs (I think). They will sometimes adapt to the BTA, but not a guarantee. Also, is the BC29 a PC version or a MH version? If it is PC lights, then it probably is not good enough for a BTA. If it is the 70w or 150w MH, then you can BTA to your heart's content, just know it will get huge and take over your tank. Anemones will also walk around and sting/kill other corals if they come in contact. I am not trying to turn you off to having an anemone, you just need to know some of what you will run into if you do decide to get one. In a tank that small, they are more bad news than good. dsoz
