Lost my saddleback butterfly tonight. Earlier today I noticed my skimmer overflowing and was on my way out to work. I asked my wife to unplug it. Well, it appears that it was overflowing enough to make all the stuff in it to get out and back into the tank. :scared: I came home and the...

Jags running game cut the Colts so deep they just might have to amputate their run defense. TXReef,

I used to have a ton of pods in my tank and sump. I added a fuge to my sump a few months ago consisting of chaeto, LS and LR. Now all the pods are gone. Does the chaeto take out the nutrients that the pods need to flourish? My butterflyfish is starting to look thin, which is a picky eater, and...

I got a subscription to this about 6-9 months ago. It's mostly geared towards freshwater. Personally, I really don't care for it. Anyways, just thought it was strange how they picked this tank as a contest winner...it was a 55 with a yellow tang and a sailfin tang. :scared:

My daughter has allergies and eczema. It has been recommeded that we invest in an air purifier. Looking to get a quality air purifier, I would like your suggestions. This is for the health of my girl and my home...I guess my fish tank would benefit as well. If money was not an issue here, what...

I have an Ebo-Jager submersible heater. I have never been able to get it set right. It will come on and not go off sometimes leaving my tank at 85+ degrees. Currently it is not even in my aquarium but it needs to be. The winter is taking its toll on my house. Would it hurt anything to put the...

Anyone know anything about breeding blue green reef chromis? I love those little guys. What is a good source of info on breeding marine fishes in general?

I have just scratched the surface on the addtional roles that the cleanup crew has. I always thought it was just to eat detritus and algae. Just read that snails and such consume calcium and other trace elements :notsure: Are these little critters used for more than just grazing LR, LS and...

Am looking into getting the final animal for my masterpiece...a snowflake eel. I really wanted another tang or butterfly but it's not wise so I want to eel it up. I need your help though in eel escape proofing my aquarium. Here's some pics that might help. The plastic was cut out for an old...

My pH has been at 7.8 for 2 weeks now. I just completed a 15g or 15% water change (total water volume around 100g). pH of change water was 8.2, I'm hoping this will bring it up. I know how it got low...I was out of R/O water for a few weeks and had been topping off with tap water. My sump was...

I'll go first... Amber from The Glacier Brewhouse (microbrewery in Anchorage, AK) Hefeweizen from The Moose's Tooth Pub (microbrewery in Anchorage, AK) Sam Adam's Boston Ale Killians Irish Red

Quick question. I tested using Salifert and the color never changed from red to blue. Does that just mean the levels are about 500ppm? I don't have any corals.

PH and wireless Thermometer Anybody use them? What are your thoughts?

I read in the archives that phosphates build up in LR, sand and algae. My only concern is chaetomorpha macro-algae. When it turns from thin bright green "spaghetti noodles" to thick dark, even black...is it time to remove it from the system? I was thinking that might help remove some phosphates...

Well, maybe not first but these are definetly the best ones yet.

This is a new addition to my system. He swims back and forth all night long while ALL the other fish are dormant. Is this normal? He adjusted very well and gets along with everyone , even the Kole Tang...which gave my Coral Beauty hell for 2 weeks! Does anyone know of another butterflyfish that...

75g (4 ft tank) Running 4 MJ 900's and an overflow from a MagDrive 18 (at 5 1/2 ft head it's probably around 1200gph) The overflow is a 3/4" pvc pipe spraybar with 4 holes drilled for max velocity flow. I still have dead spots on the sand like mad. What's the deal? I have more powerheads and...

I ordered an overflow box from Lifereef a few weeks ago and received it yesterday. Wow! :jumping: This is my third overflow box and by far the best. Should have bought this one first. It is quiet, handles way more than a similar rated one and looks great. Here are my other overflow box...

I am curious to see what I can get away with in my FOWLR system. I would like suggestions as to what might be a good add. I just added some Tonga Branch and rearranged my LR so I have a platform closer to my light source, for coral. Here's my setup: 75g (48X18X20) w/55g long sump...skimmer and...

Any Jags fans out there?
