  1. Halo3 although its been a while.
  2. Thanks for all your input Bttrflygrl. If i had enough space and money to quarantine my whole tank i would have. Space money and time all prohibit me from doing it so i had to take other alternatives and pray for the best. This time i think it has worked out for me and i feel like everything is healthy. I have learned my lesson and will quarintine everything that goes into my tank from now on.
  3. Its been over 3 weeks and the little guy is doing fine. I did the kick Ich treatment and have been feeding food w/ garlic. My cleaner shrimp also has been very busy the past few weeks. The only Mech Filtration i have in the Sump is the Sock coming from the overflow. Is there something else that i could add to aid my water clarity? I had Purigen in my old Aquapod but have not added anything like that. I figured My 20g Refugium would take care of all the filtration that i needed.
  4. yes it is still eating and acting normal.
  5. thats my debate. i would hate to let the little guy die cause of something that i did.
  6. I just got a Hippo tang and it seems to have Ich. I know its a common thing for these fish when stressed so i added some kick Ich to the tank. Should i try and Quarantine the fish for a month or so? or should i not stress it anymore and leave it be in the tank. So far it is eating everything i put in the tank and im hoping my cleaner shrimp will get ahold of him soon. i just noticed the Ich today so i know i dont have a lot of time. any suggestions are appreciated Thanks Ross
  7. ya ive tried messing with all the wires and no luck. Like i said before i will be making a new canopy in the coming 2 or 3 weeks so ill just wait until then and rework all the wiring. Hopefully that will fix the problem and its not a bad ballast.
  8. So i tried to use the voltmeter but i couldnt get the bulbs out. Im planning on building a new canopy in the next few weeks so i guess ill have to test all the connections then. I also noticed that when i plug it in i get 1 bulb lighting up for just a split second and i still hear a small pop at the power outlet. I also checked the fuse and it was fine. The ballast is an old icecap btw. Thanks for any help anyone can give me
  9. Thanks so much ill give that a try tonight and let you know what i find out. Im just finishing wiring my new/old house (although i wont claim to be a master electrician.) so i happen to have a voltmeter lying around.
  10. Great!!, i dont know Dooley but i look forward to hearing from him.
  11. I have 3 T5 Bulbs in my 90g that are used for Actinic lighting. About 3 weeks ago they stopped working and i cant figure out why. When i plug them in they turn on for about a 1/2 second then they turn off. I also hear a little pop sound at the plug when i plug it in. I figure i have a short somewhere and i just have to find out where it is. I was hoping someone could give me some insite on what i could do to fix it. Thanks Ross
  12. great idea!!! ill def be putting a few thing in the auction.
  13. contact the manufacture. I have had the same problem before and they sent me a new ballast in under a week.
  14. i know its not a chiller, but i have an old Refrigerator that is in a house that im remodeling. Im looking to get rid of it so if you wana try and mod something into it then your more than welcome to come pick it up.
  15. I have a sixline in my tank with a clownfish and a yellow watchman goby. I think its a great addition.
  16. How is this usually done? can we get a table? Do most people bring small tanks to set up or do they bag everything? This will be my first frag swap but i already have 30 or so frags made that are maturing for this event. Thanks Ross
  17. i use it all the time, i just mix it with a little saltwater in a shotglass. then i take a small turkeybaster and suck it up and spot feed all my coral. what the coral dont eat my fish do.
  18. http://www.midwestfragfest.com/ I saw this on nano-reef.com and i thought some people might be interested.
  19. Ive order once from a private individual from Cal and once from www.MrCoral.com (Balt). Both in the last month. I got both the packages within 5 min of being left on my doorstep and both packages where freezing cold. Both had heat packs too!!! It seems like the coral can handle the cold alot better than fish IMO. Ive heard good things about Liveaquaria.com though. Id recommend talking to James at Paradise Reef. He can order whatever you want and will give you a great price. He ordered me a new Black and White clown that ill pick up today.
  20. +1 I ordered a Black and White Aussie Clownfish Last week and it only made it 2 days. Ill never order anything in the winter again unless im 100% sure it will be shipped well.
  21. Im new to the Site but ill be attending this. I think Prowland is going to join me also. He just joined today i think. I cant wait to meet everyone!!! Also: "The gift can be something practical, used, old, or even something silly, as long as it is an "aquarium-related" item costing less than $15." Is there such a thing for under 15 dollars in this hobby??? HAHA
  22. here is my latest FTS. I just got a nice frogspawn from James at Paradise Reef and i just got a torch from a guy on Nano-Reef.com. The Torch didnt do so well. one of the heads died within 24 hours but the other one looks like its gonna make it. Thats the last time ill have something shipped to me when its cold!!!!
