    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    I also have two kittens that age, brother and sister. I've seen the boy doing things to his sister that I thought he was too young for. I did some google searching this morning and found that they can breed and reproduce as young as 4 months. OH NO! I hope one of yours is fixed. My vet wouldn't...

    Lighting Question, please help me out :)

    The chili and carnation coral don't like much light. I think they would be good choices. I have had good luck with my chili coral for well over a year now. Just be sure to keep it in a cave or low lit area with good flow.

    Replacement Pump for Skimmer?

    It looks like my seaclone skimmer. Mine has another threaded tube that rises up to a maxi jet 1200 on it. Google seaclone 100 and take a look.

    A Big Mistake..Need Help

    Everything looked normal last night. One of the two anemones had started moving the day before. I figured it was because of the new MH light. I was a bit worried that it might get close to a power head so I took a look this morning. It split !!! Now I have 3 or maybe even 4. The other one is...

    A Big Mistake..Need Help

    I turned the heater on with the pumps when I found my mistake. It has already warmed it up to 71.5 in about an hour and a half. So it's going up about 1 degree an hour. Is that too fast? I turned on the room lights and all looks normal for morning. I can't tell for sure about my BTA's as they...

    A Big Mistake..Need Help

    For the last few weeks, I have been turning pumps off when I feed and turn them back on 10 minutes later. Last night I forgot to turn them back on. I got up early today and noticed it was quiet and found what I have done. The tank heater was off and the temp has dropped to 70. Should I let the...

    MH ballast hum?

    My nearest neighbors are 1/4 mile away, so no problem. I was in the kitchen trying to avoid the noise and it suddenly stopped. I ran back to see what happened and everything is fine! The light had been on for about 90 minutes straight this time. I sure hope it stays like this! Thanks all for...

    MH ballast hum?

    I thought they sounded a bit like the factory. Thanks for your help! I'll work with it for now. I think I will put it outside. It's on an outside wall and I was thinking of making a vent (for summer) to go with it. I just turned it right side up, thinking about what you said about it being on...

    MH ballast hum?

    It's all tight on the outside. It has a hole in the middle you can see through. Is that normal? What will I find inside?

    MH ballast hum?

    I was wondering if I could mount the ballast outside the house in a cabinet. On the unit it says: suitable for operation in ambients not exceeding 55 C. It doesn't say how cold it can be. I just noticed a date on it. 12-29-89. That thing is 20 years old! It was re-manufactured. I guess it is a...

    MH ballast hum?

    A very loud hum. I wouldn't hear the phone or if someone knocked at the door. I had an old smoke alarm that sounded just like it. I bought two of these lights. Maybe the other one isn't as bad.

    MH ballast hum?

    I just ran it for an hour. It seems to have gotten louder! It sounds like a smoke alarm. I didn't want to leave them on too long for the first day. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't retired and home with it all day. My BTAs were doing the happy dance today after a few months with PCs. I was...
