Dayton fans are sold by Grainger. It is a house brand name for them. They are great units. You can go and buy them from your local grainger or order them from the catalog. Problem with the catalog is you have to have an account to do that. If you want to use a credit card and order email me...

I have some fairly serious junk that settles in my rock and under it. When I move a power head just for a change it just fills my tank with little bits of junk. I gotta admit I did not wash my live rock well enough as I dumped it in during lunch time with a minor rinse. I wont need much for long...

I would like to promote the growth of coraline algae (sp?). I have read that raising calcium levles will help. How high should they be and what product should I use to raise it. I have a salifert test kit and it measures 320 right now. I have a 75 gal fowlr and a wet dry filter with 1 clown in it.

Yep you did miss the boat. JK. You drill you RETURN FROM the sump/wetdry, not you siphon tube. Your overflow box should be adjusted so it wont cause a flood. when power goes off the overflow wont break siphon, it just comes to a stop. Your return on the other hand is usually much deeper into...

I posted this in the fish forum also. I did not get many takers, let me know what you think of this Have you ever heard of or used a product called S.A.T. It is marine brand by TLC aquarium and pond products. It is used for getting rid of hair alge. It says good for reef tanks. It says it is a...

Have you ever heard of or used a product called S.A.T. It is marine brand by TLC aquarium and pond products. It is used for getting rid of hair alge. It says good for reef tanks. It says it is a bacteria that out competes bad algea for food, but it does not affect "good algea types".You use it...

What should I be feeding a percula clown. I Have had him 24 hours and he has not eaten. I am not too worried about this, but the tiny food pellets the lfs sold me looks a little tough for this dude to find in a 75 gal tank. He is the only fish in the neighborhood with 50 lbs lr to play in. Tell...

Wooohoo. I got my first fish. I put a percula clown in my 75. Man he is having a ball in the power head stream and playing in the caves. What will eat the green hair algea that is starting to grow on my rocks?

WOW someone from WV. What Part you from? Pakersburg here.

I have a 75 gal just comming through the cycle and all I used was 3 jumbo raw shrimp with shells on. It worked just fine. :) It took a while to start seeing ammonia, but when it started It was fine

I have a new 75 cycling. It had nothing but dead sand in it for 3 weeks. I used shrimp to cycle it, and it was milky for the last 2 weeks. I added 50 lbs live rock (uncured, but fresh smelling) about 2 days ago and whamo it is crystal clear. Did my rock do this? Second how long till I see any...

It was uncured. It smelled fairly fresh, but it was shipped to me from SWF.COM. I must say I have zero experience with live rock, but this stuff looked pretty good to me. Big hunks, no rubble, and covered with what looks like pink and purple. It has tons of caves, holes and surface area. I gotta...

I put 50 lbs of lr in my still cycling 75 gal tank. I think I remember someone saying leave the lights off..should I? What should I do now?

Just sit and got drunk while watching your fish. I got pretty drunk last night just watching my freshwater fish, no tv, just a bit of music. I cant wait till my tank cycles.... :D :D

I would like to know how to get my alk down, and why is it climbing?

I have a 75 gallon cycling right now with nothing but sand in it. I took the shrimp out a few days ago. I have been testing and writing down my results. My kh/alk is slowly raising in numbers. First test 2 weeks ago it was at alk 3.43 dkh of 9.6 and ph of 8.1. Now it is at alk 3.89 and 10.9dkh...

What is the best method for measuring salinity. I want to get a good tool for doing this. I hate this swing arm thing. I want it to be able to keep me at proper hypo in a hospital tank, so I need a good one, and where to find it in the net

Clowns and royal gramma were my next choice. I will start with one of them..thanks for info

I will toss in my bit here. Buy any of them, just make sure to customize it. Dont take off the shelf crap componets. Go for the better hard drive (not just a big one, but a fast one), get tons of ram and load up on a big vid card. You will be just fine

I am a few weeks off from putting fish in. I want to make a good first choice and still have a cool looking fish. What would be good? My thinking will be a kole tank? Throw me some Ideas about good "beginner fish" that wont be aggressive towards new fish down the road. 75 gallon with soon to be...
