    The case of the disappering fish....

    2 cents No clue why the fish would be dying but.. I think I could throw a 1# Tbone in my tank when I go to bed and it would be gone by morning heh. But really I have had fish die that were totally consumed just while I was at work with only a damsel in the tank. The amount of critters hiding in...

    Guess the Critter!

    Had one in our 180. Was the biggest star when ppl would look at teh tank(was always out in daytime and night). Was a demon to snail/hermit pop and lord knows what else. Molted 7 times in one year. Was just in cozumel and saw one almost 2 feet tail to head. Think they are called "Spiny Blue Lobster"

    Lighting question's

    I know this is a tired subject but still new to me. Have been running a tank with 2 actinic whites and 2 actinic blues for 3? years now. They are ran on seprate Ice-Caps. Never had any trouble with them. Now the Tim Allen in me spotted a retrofit kit from an online light comp. I know nothing at...

    Refugium

    No sand needed? Anything I should put in to "feed" to keep a healthy pod pop going? I will prob stick some mangroves in there even if not needed just because I like that look... any harm from these to a podpop?

    Refugium

    Have plumbed in a rubbermade container for a refugium. Had initially planned on Mangroves (cuz they look neat and difrent). After reading many posts it would seem rufugium inhabitants will change depending on what you want from it. Can't seem to find what inhabitants though. What I want from my...

    What to do if hurricane hits?

    Depending on length of time you are out ... If its a short period dont get to flustered. You are in Fl so the temp shoild stay up (small baggy of ice on hand to float on the surface of the water will help if gets to hot). You have a 90 gallon tank if the power is out for awhile take your 5...

    Powerheads

    No, I really have no clue what to look for. Willing to spend on equipment to get the flow I want just unsure what/where to look.

    Powerheads

    Shame there is nothing designed better yet. Who would not pay more to have less maintenance.

    Powerheads

    I would like sweeping type power heads. Everything I have read on here says the PowerSweep is junk. Been searching but cant seem to find sweeping PH's in other brands. Not concerned about a sweep it could be rotary etc. Will be putting a few in a 180 gallon reef.

    Grrrrr! Microbubbles!

    Get creative with it. You have it use it. Use it also to run your skimmer (should knock down alot of the flow prob) maybe set up a small fuge to tee some off to. PVC fittings are cheap and easy to work with. P.S. The elbows and lift of teh water to get back to your display is creating head...

    Wiring ???

    Not a great idea. Eventually the harsh salt air will degrade the connection no matter how well you tape it. Once that happens it will start to arc heating up and could catch fire.
