  1. this is a terrible tragedy, as a new dad myself of 3 months i cannot imagine what it would be like for my family to deal with something like that. I will post a link on the rogue reef forum for donations to the family. god bless and our prayers are with the family
  2. cool im definitely gonna check into the Elos line, sounds like its tried and true among you guys,
  3. so Ive been reading some of the posts around here and seems like folks could use some knowledge on tank stability and supplementing/ vitamin dosing (I know I could). what are you guys using? what line works best for you? there are soooo many brands out there and its pretty hard to know which ones actually work.(scratch)
  4. how do you know its skimming thats causing the decline in growth? it might be a change in something else, maybe you were using a supplement before that you arent now, feeding differant foods, lighting changed, who knows, i relly heavily on natural bio filtration with lots of chaedo and LR & LS in my sump which is a breeding ground for copepods, these are a great food source for my softies but i also run a monster Red Sea CSKIM 1200 and my softies love it.
  5. hey folks just an update that our favorite little local forum is back up and running for those interested in a local forum for Reef Keepers in the Rogue Valley check it out http://roguereef.forumotion.com thanks
  6. id like to setup a hospital tank, can this be done easily or is it basically the same as setting up a whole new system
  7. ive read the responses you guys have given me on this and it looks like i have a few options, up till now ive just left them alone, i do have a large cleaner shrimp whos been an inhabitant for around a year or so and hes constantly cleaning the clown and coral beauty, ive also added some fresh garlic extract to their regular diet, ive noticed the clown being VERY excited to eat, the angel however is not quite so. also ive noticed the angel having irregular looking eyes, cloudy and almost too big for its sockets, i understand this is called popeye. and its tail and fins are tattered. dang butterfly wreeked havoc on my fish. i am currently in a state of up in arms..ness as i dont have a qt tank and i agree that trying to catch these fish with all the corals and LR in the tank would be catostrophic.
  8. I have an issue with ICH, my two fish (a purcula and an angel). lets back up a bit, i bought a aruguila butterfly from reef tech recently as advised to, to get rid of a bunch of majono, turns out the fish had never even entered the holding tank there as it had just come in from wherever, so long story short, i got the fish home, acclimated and in the tank, within two days i noticed it breaking out with ICH, to top things off the thing never even touched the majono and instead went straight for a colony of star polys. AHHH so now i need to catch this bugger and return him to the LFS, this is no easy task however as these fish are extremely fast and resourceful. once i returned the fish and grabbed a couple frags of posilopora instead, i returned home a little deflated, now i have ICH in my tank, does anyone have any suggestions for ridding my tank of this stuff? :mad:
  9. is this a group discount on BRS website? how do i get one?
  10. yes Jody is a great resource in this hobby, planning a trip to medford this weekend to see his setup and pickup some frags. : )
  11. in response to folks who are interested in the rogue Reefkeeper forum it is in fact under construction as its still got buggs. yeck i will post pics just as soon as i get to my home pc. they frown on uploading pics on company pc's. cant imagine why. : P thanks for the warm welcome guys!
  12. Hi, my name is Jerrad & im an alcoholic.. woops wrong meeting. seriously though im 30 yrs old ive been in this game for about ten years, i run a 40G custom breeder heavily stocked with softies mostly, a few SPS's about 40lbs LR, a killer clown that hates me and a coral beauty, i can tell she likes me by the way her eyes flicker in the night sky, Ive got it setup running 250W HQI's through an electronic ballast, coast to coast overflow to a 20G custom sump/fuge with a RED-SEA C-SKIM 1200 skimmer all natural live rock bio filtration and plenty of chaedo, on through the bubble traps to a big ole quiet one 400HH which powers my water on up through a SQWD and finally back to my DT. a very simple yet affective design, no dosing, aside from purple-up (good stuff) i use only RO/DI water from my AIR-WATER-ICE 5 stage system for top-off and water changes. i ve been working on starting a forum for local reefers in the rogue valley called THE ROGUE REEFKEEPER, maybe youve heard of it. www.roguereef.forumotion.com check it out, thanks
