I am not sure exactly, because I am not aware of all the details of MASNA. The concept we are working on is that when you join, your club is then considered non-profit charitable without having to file separately. The club would be an affiliated part of the parent organization, and would have...

Our club is working on the same concept, A larger organization wirth sub groups. I think it is a good idea, but not everyone agrees. We did get some bad responses at first, but not everyone understands the concept.

Actually, my leather is better now. The hole is closed and healed over. It looks as good as new. I did a few water changes and not much else. Who knows why it had the blemish. As you can see, my first post was a while ago. As far as the starfish, I have a 50 gallon reef tank (not the same...

rrdodge1283 I have them all over my other reef tank and I have not had a problem in there. You say they kill soft corals? I did not know that. Mal

Do you have a photo of them by chance?

Thanks I will check into that. Mal

Todd, Thanks for clearing this up for me. Mal

I suspect the larvae which are much smaller and less developed than Banggai cardinal young, will need something at least as small as rotifers as a first food. I would take one of those spare tanks you have, wrap some black plastic around it, fill it with clean water and set up an air-driven foam...

My Pyjama Cardinal are Breeding. One of the pair has a big lower jaw, which I think is where he is caring the young. Does anyone know about breeding theses fish? Can you give me information about their breeding habits or a reference to get information so I can save the young and raise them? I...

Hi guys. I have had my flamd and coral beauty angles together for some time now and it has worked out. Thanks for the replies. Mal

Well, I just wanted to report that I now have both in my 125 Gal. The Flame is about 30% smaller of the two. When I first put in the Flame the CB was not happy and was always after the Flame. I was lucky that I got a very healthy and fat Flame. There was enouth LR that the flame could eaisly...

Why does denitrification not happen when you use the more coarse crushed coral? I was told to take the corse stuff out of my tank and put in fine sand. Mal

I put in a deep sand bed of 4 to 5" of fine southdown play sand in my tank. After about 4 weeks I am starting to see bubbles of air about 1 inch down in the sand below the surface aganist the glass. When I mix the sand the bubbles come out of the sand and float to the top. Where are the...

Hi Terry, I have phosphate remover in the tank and they are 0 by the test. I do a 20-25% water change every two weeks. The nitrates will not come down. I was advised [on this bbs] to take the corse aragonite out of the tank and replace with a DSB of fine sand. I have replaced about 60% of...

Hi Terry, I am not sure if it is fully extending its polyps. They are as extended as ever since I have had it. It has lost of little goose bumps on on it. Some of the bumps have little white flower like tips. However, that is all it has ever had. Re water quality: nitrates about 15-20ppm...
