He's out!!! Finally just caught him in my net and pulled him out. Man, he is fast!!! I used his speed against him. He started digging under a small new rock I just added to the tank. When he saw me approach the aquarium he went under the new rock. So I scooped the rock and all into my net and he...

I did see the demensions posted online but didn't think to much of it. I knew it would be close but i figured worse case I'd have to move some things around under there to make it fit. I was being brave and bit off more than I can chew. (I was drinking beer that night. lol) But it's gotta be an...

So I got the skimmer about 2 weeks ago and it's HUGE!!! Way too big and tall for my under cabinet. (I will post pics soon or later.) I don't know what to do with it. I paid a lot money for this skimmer, I wish I could use it, I feel guilty returning it. I kinda want to save it and build a 250+...

@meowzer You miss her? I thought you owned her. Am I missing something here? Very nice pics you have. She looks very peaceful, happy and carefree. In the beginning I didn't know Puffers/Triggers & Rays don't mix. Honestly, Nobody told me. I truly fell in love with both rays right off the bat. I...

I had 2 baby Cortez stingrays. But My Hawiian spotted puffer pecked them to death. And my Huma Huma trigger ate them alive. It was horrible. I plan on starting a ray only tank sometime soon.

ditto, mine did the same thing.

i have a 180 and I took my undulated out because he was too mean. He would hide in a cave until feeding time. Then come out & bully all the other fish and eat the food and take it back to his hide out. He was so mean and nasty I hated him!! I wouldn't mind having a large tank just for triggers...

I have a 150g and I change 50g every 2 weeks.

Are we aloud to name drop? I live in The Ft.Lauderdale area and could give you some suggestions.

I was at my LFS 2 Saturdays ago and picked up a 3" Silver Bullet Goby. I never had one before and the store said they will help clean the sand. So I got him. Yes, I see him eat the sand and spit it out through his gills which in the beginning was kinda cool. But now he's digging HUGE holes and...

Well, frustrated by a lack of skimmer knowledge and overwhelming options I blindly pulled the trigger on a Super Reef Octopus XP-3000 External Protein Skimmer. I think the foot print of this beast might be too big for my under cabinet but oh well. Guess I might have to do some re-aranging to...

Meowzer, Very encouraging. I might have to copycat you. lol

I've been looking around on ---- for a "fair" deal on a skimmer. I don't understand why they have to be in water/the sump. Meowzer is yours external? Where did you get yours? I think I read that you said it's very quiet. That's a huge plus!! Was it hard to install? Still open to other...

Yeah... I read her post about the install. Which Octopus is good for 150g ? And why do people sometimes put them in the sump?
