HEHEHE. I like where this is going with the giant tree sponge!!! On a more serious note however about UV sterilizers in FO tanks and reef tanks. I have a mixed tank as you can see from down below. The benefits of the UV to the fish, I believe, is although not essential very beneficial...

You may want to be careful about adding to many fish unless you have a massiv protein skimmer and some capurela. I think I have too many fish for my tank already and you have a tang. I would get rid of the tang and add those fish you want or get rid of the damsels and just stick with the tang...

Go and get yourself about 20 blue hermit crabs they are carnivores and will eat anything and everything. They should be able to located any dead fish and devour them instantly. Don't go crazy and add 50 or 100 though cause later you will want to get red hermits which are a lot nicer and blue...

If anyone gets a chance read the GIANT TREE SPONGE! I cannot believe the extent of the humor thats contained in it! :p :D :eek:

I couldn't help myself! Its just to difficult to control myself! :eek:

In all honesty, it really depends on the quality of water in your area. Every municipality is responsible for supplying water to its city and often many municipalities get their water from the same source. The difference is that sometimes some treat their water better than others. If you...

Notice above post with Xenia has strong powercompact lighting. My Xenia are placed at the top of the tank in strong current as near to my weak light as possible and they still don't do well! I would start with the corals listed in the first 2 posts.

I don't think that is a very good bargin at all! You don't need an undergravel filter for saltwater tanks first off. Next, a 29g tank is ok thats what I started with and still have, but you can get a all-glass aquarium for like 1$ per gallon at Meijers or Kmart and buy a ugly iron stand for...

I am interested in getting a 75 gallon in the future and do not want all the silly tubes, wires and equipment that hang on the back and sit inside the tank. How do you go about setting up a sump system? Must you have a hole drilled in the tank or is there another way? Can someone explain...

small sand-sifter starfish...I know everyone says that they eat pods and other good stuff but I think they are the coolest starfish! I want to get oter starfish but I have to be careful to get very small ones. I would like to get a blue linkia eventually.

You can see my inhabitants at the bottom of this! My Amonia and nitrites are 0, nitrates 10-15, KH 9-12!!! My clowns are about 1 and a half inches and so is one of the chromis. The other chromis is about 2 inches and so is the jawfish. Thats about 8 inches of fish in a 29 gallon tank. 5...

try a jawfish!

I second that last post! Feeding is very important for starfish and its very difficult to know when they need to be fed. I have the same problem with my sand sifter and my serpent star. When I saw one of the legs start to disintegrate I started to feed it more mysis shrimp with a turkey...

What amazing discussions we have on some of these threads. Its like my collegues at work bring in a cow that is black and white and we will sit and argue that it is really only a white cow or its a black cow or even better yet its not black or white its opaque! when all we wanted to know...

All starfish will fall apart when they are about to die. Brittles, sand sifters, serpents, and linkia. It usually starts with the tips of their legs and progresses further and further until no more starfish. This has happened to a sifter that I had once. Recently I bought a serpent and...

1) filtration response. Just get yourself a good skimmer and lots of Live Rock! Just be sure that the skimmer you get handles the gallons in your tank! People have different preferences on brands! Wet/ Dry filter is like Penguin or Whisper or other types of that sort. Great for a...

1) the filtration: I would use 1lbs of live rock per gallon for biological filtration thats a awesome start. I would get a skimmer for chemical filtration its amazing the crap a skimmer can remove, I like the CPR backpack skimmers since they are good for up to 60g. I bought my skimmer used...

If you are looking for an excellent skimmer that hangs on the back of the tank I would suggest a CPR Backpack skimmer. I have one on my 29g and its amazing the crap it takes out of the tank. It is good for up to 60g so you should be alright and it may be a tight fit behind your tank with...

I am interested in this PC light if its still for sale. Can you send another pic though since I tried to look at the last one and my computer went nuts.

Why do you hate the look if I can ask? The brown algae on the c.c is from the phosphates. Are you using R/O water? Do you have a clean up crew? Have you siphoned it yet? There are serveral ways to remove any nuisance algae on c.c. If you simply don't like it and want to replace...
