    dead emerald crab

    If you can get a good look at him, see if the eyes are still with it. Mine molted a couple weeks ago. I thought he was dead. Looked just like he did when he was moving around. But the eyes were gone. Just holes. Got a glimpse of his newness later that evening.

    The purpose of flow??

    Don't want to hi-jack this thread, but I have a flow question myself. In my 75gal. It is currently a FOWLR. But I want to start adding coral. I have a ProClear model 75 wetdry.

    Little Help

    Whew!, I finally made it back. My long afternoon turned into a long evening. Well after talking to him this evening, he has decided to tear the tank down, he has found a home for his last remaining fish, inverts, and LR. I think in the end it came down to, too much to soon. And an improper set...

    Little Help

    I am attempting to diagnose an issue with a friends tank. He has a 30 gal. FOWLR. All of his parameters have been checking out ok. I have tested, another mutual friend has tested, and a LFS has also tested. The problem is, for some reason he has had several fish die for no aparent reason lately...

    Parting out my tank

    Got the skimmer and korilia today, and put both in service this evening. Like he said the korilia had not seen water and the skimmer is working perfectly. Thanks for the great deal!

    The Great Debate T5 versus MH

    I am currently in the great debate mode myself, prior to buying a fixture. I spoke with a gentleman at a LFS earlier this week. He had replaced a few of his Halide Fixtures with T5 fixtures about a month and a half ago. He felt that the T5's were actually out preforming the halides. The corals...

    Help me decide

    Hi all, I have been doing a lot of looking at lighting set ups lately. I have a 75 gal. 4ft long tank. After a good amount of looking around, and talking to a few staff members at several SW specialty stores, i think that a T5HO set up will take care of my needs. Having that said, I am looking...

    Few Newby Q's

    Thanks for all of the info! I forgot to mention that when we put the base in, my friend had a 5 gal. bucket with sand. It was harvested from a large 250 gallon well established tank, that was being removed a week and a half ago. It wasn't completely dry, but it certainly wasn't wet either. We...

    Few Newby Q's

    Hi all, another noob here. We just got a used 75 gal. set up. We are in the process of learning, and have a lot of it to do! It came with a proclear 150 filter, a basic 48" florescent light, a 500 gph pump, approx. 40 lbs of crushed coral base, and 40-50lbs of live rock, and a 150 watt heater...
