I'm thinking of replacing my Coralife Lunar Aqualight Compact Fluorescent Fixture, 4X96 Watt, 72 inch that is over my 180 gallon. I saw these ******** on sale on Amazon and I'm thinking of getting 2x of them. I have a 180 gallon FOWLR. Anybody have any experience with LED's that can tell me...

I'm working on stocking my 180. I would like to add 2-3 clownfish. I was initially going to get some simple false perculas, but then I started thinking about the other options. Specifically, I'm thinking of getting either a Snowflake or a Black Ice Snowflake pair / trio. I also plan to get...

I just moved and I'm in the process of moving my 180... yeah... fun. Anyway, my eels (3ft Zebra and 2ft Snowflake) are resting in a 55 gallon with some LR while I'm setting up the 180. I've had them for a couple years now. But now it is really fun to see them out and about in the 55. In the...

Hey guys. I'm moving across town. I have to move my 180 glass and 55 quarantine. I have all aggressive fish and 2 large eels.   I have to move this thing... and hoping to get some advice on how to make the transition. Anyone?   Thanks!

My 3 ft zebra eel has done well for quite a while now. But today while feeding I noticed that her left eye has become cloudy. She is still eating fine and seems to not be bothered by it, but I assume that she can no longer see out of it. I remember reading about this happening when I was...

I got this blue cheek trigger on Saturday. Everything has been great. It's been a bit shy, but showed no problems up until now. Tonight I walked in from work to find it swimming all over the place in backward circles. It's going nuts. It's almost like it has fish vertigo - if there is such...

I was about to do hypo - took out all my LR and all - I was sure that these 2 had ick. But now I'm starting to second guess myself. There are ONLY spots on the fins. The Queen had more on her back fins, but now just has the one spot on the bottom. The Emp only has the group on the caudal...

Long story -- short... well, my SF eel got out of my tank - don't know how long. I found her on the floor, not moving. Picker her up and she moved, so put her in the tank. She swam back to her cave and stayed there for about 3 days before she came out to eat. She now has been acting normal -...

So the hamster got out... again... The thing manages to escape out of it's 10 gal home every other day. I usually find it soon after dark walking around the kitchen on the night it gets loose. Well, it wasn't there tonight. I was about to go to bed, figuring I would check for it tomorrow...

Hey peeps. I just got a great deal on a huge BTA. it is on a huge rock but the rock has a bit of aptasia on it. What should I do? I definitely don't want any aptasia in my 180. That is for sure. btw - the rock and BTA are still in the container that I got them in - a small styrofoam box.

You can purchase a 16 oz package of krill at the LFS for $16.00 and you can purchase 16 oz (1 pound) of raw shrimp at the grocery store for $5-6 per pound. What benefit do we get from buying the krill?

I've had a RODI for a while and now need a new RO filter. I can get just about any GPD online - 25 - 50 - 75 - 100. Do the 25 GPD do a better job of water quality than the 100? Or is the only difference the speed?

My RODI is slowing down to a trickle. I've flushed it, replaced the filters, etc. It speeds up for a little while, but is right back down to a trickle. I know cold water goes slower too, but it didn't slow down this much last winter. Any ideas?? thanks

I was picking up my usual from the asian market - bag of nori for $1. 1 lb of lg shrimp for $5, etc.. (gotta love the asian market!).. anyway, I came across large leaves of dried seaweed. I was thinking of getting some of this, cutting off a piece, and seeing how my tangs like it. I guess it...

I've had my queen angel in the QT for over 2 wks now - was doing great. She started scratching today and I took a close look. I couldn't see anywhere on here what was wrong. The only thing I found was a verrrry small white spot on the left eye that is somewhat cloudy. My LFS recommended...

My 55 reef has been up for 19 months now. I've been having problems with the zoas for about 4 months now. They just are NOT opening up much. And when they do, they seem to keep in their skirts. My levels are all perfect. pH 8.2, no2/no3/phos/amm all 0. All my other coral seem to be doing...

Well peeps.. simple question. I didn't get a lot of response on my tank thread about picking b/w the two, so hope to get some more input here. I'm leaning toward getting the volitan, but still have my eye on the radiata. Have any of you gone through this decision? What would you all do...

I was at my LFS today. The owner sells some nice stuff... but is sometimes just plain exasperating. You have to discard about 50% of the stuff that comes out of his mouth.... you get the idea. Anyway, he just got a nurse shark and put in his 210 gal along with the established handful of...

Hey All! I just found a great way to clean the parabolic reflectors for your lights. CLR!!! (the calcium/lime/rust stuff) This stuff works great! My reflectors for my T5's on my 55gal were looking pretty bad. I thought that they were ruined = seemed to have water/salt stains that just would...

Well, just got back from south carolina. I picked up a couple fellas in the surf. Yeah, I know they might have pollution, parasites, etc. That's why they are currently in my QT. I'm not sure exactly their ID though. Seems to be a queen conch and a moon snail? Any idea if they would be...
