Dude T... I forgot about that.. You have to remind me man.. Was waiting on you to tell me when you were going to ship it. The last time we spoke you said you had it boxed up and were going to get some shipping details for me. Did I miss a PM? let me know...

danny, you need to sign up for a membership for FMAS. I just did it through the mail. Look at their website, it costs about 10 dollars for a year.

You can do it prior or at the door.

daffydanny · 03-02-2008, 06:31 PM

Ill just attend and not become a member but if its required ill pay at entrance

SulfurAcid · 03-02-2008, 08:03 PM

yea it is required, but you get free stuff. I.E free magazine

Casanova1016 · 03-09-2008, 12:05 PM

daffydanny · 03-09-2008, 08:39 PM

I went to the swap today and I got a 2" to 3" piece of Acropora for $5 and a nice piece of xenia for $15. They had extremely cheap prices on equipement. They had a chiller for $50 and a little giant pump for $15. Nice show cant wait for the next one

SulfurAcid · 03-09-2008, 09:58 PM

can't believe u didnt get a pice for me, i told you i would pay.

daffydanny · 03-10-2008, 09:50 PM

the xenia

acropora

cool pic. of my grouper
has anyone seen bigger red mushrooms than mine?

SulfurAcid · 03-10-2008, 09:58 PM

i have personally seen these mushrooms, and they are true beasts. it seems that dannys irregular nitrate readings are fueling their enormous growth. id say they are at least 8-10" in diameter.

daffydanny · 03-11-2008, 04:16 PM

Yeah I should probably take care of my nitrates since there like 20ppm+ but I have seen nothing but positive effects on corals and fish but ofcourse I hate my algae.

Not sayig that 20ppm is good , but LPS and sotfies tanks denifit from dirty waters (disclaimer , dirty waters as in some nutrients )

im sure if it went to 50ppm youll see a problem. Try doing a few water changes.
also do you know aht might be causing the nitrates. such as bio balls , old sponges as filters etc..

daffydanny · 03-11-2008, 08:19 PM

Well my skimmer is off because it generates like 5 degrees of heat which the corals will not tolerate and i guess some from my bio-balls since I never clean them. Now exact source; btw ive dont like 3 water changes........no results

SulfurAcid · 03-11-2008, 08:47 PM

danny, you should change that sponge on the bottom, looks brown, compared to its new blue. also, i think you should do this total nitrate destruction method...Change 10% of ur water every other day for two weeks...reduces nitrates by 10% every time I.E. 20, then 18, then 16.2, so on

SulfurAcid · 03-11-2008, 08:48 PM

we could also swap the bioballs for live rock, put a powerhead in the return area so it is not stagnant.
