I bought an anemone several months ago I believe it was labeled a 'purple sebae'. He seems to be doing fine but he is just not as 'full' looking as he was when I bought him. There was a clown fish that was using him as a home so I went ahead and bought both. I changed my lighting to a 50/50...

Verboten = forbidden. I went to the site for a quick look and it looks like a good info site on tank building. I did not have a chance to take a close look at it yet. Thanks for the help.

Just wondering if anyone has built their own tank. I remember seeing one someone had made several years ago but I have know idea how it was constructed. I don't think that the stand and hood would be to hard but I have no idea how to put the glass together, how thick the glass needs to be...

I would like to find out about this myself. My tank came with one. I already have an established tank so I think that removing it might do more harm than good. I have added a tank mount filter and was thinking of just unpluging my UGF. My question would be, can I just leave the UGF in the tank...

I had the same problem with a blue damsel. The little turd killed two other damsels while I was using them to cycle my tank. Then killed two more after that (the little $#@%$!). When I started to add new fish I tried a trick that I learned from the store where I bought it, took him out of the...

Can you or, should you put plants in you FOWLR tank? I think that it would add to the look of the tank but I am not sure if it is a good idea. I have heard that some plants will grow like crazy and you will have to constantly cut them back. Anyway....just another beginner's question......

Thanks for all the help! (I need all I can get!)

Thanks for the help. I will check around and see if I can find it.

I am fairly new to salt water (about 4 months). I have been adding dechlorindated tap water to my tank to replace what has evaporated. I have heard that this is not the best solution. Is distilled water a better option??
