In my 75gal reef, the only fish I have now is a yellow tang. I was wondering if I could also add a hippo. There is a lot of lr (85lbs) to hide and play in. What is everyone's opinion?

I have read somewhere that I shoule add iodine to my 75gal reef (lr, dsb, xenia, etc.) Is this true, and how much should I add? Also, when I bought the tank the guy gave me a bottle of Kent's Essential Elements. What are these and are they necessary? Thanks for you help. PS - I do add...

How much? And do you have any pics?

Last night my wife was looking at my tank, and she noticed that my cuke seemed to be shedding its skin. Is this common? Or, do I have a problem? Thanks for the input.

I know I asked this before, but I didn't get an answer. Do I need to remove my snowflake also?

I understand to do a hypo,(lower salinity in QT to 1.009) but how do I lower the salinity that much in 48 hours. I know this is probably a dumb question, but I am still a newbie. Thanks for your help TerryB and Beth

I have a reef tank with corals and inverts. So I probably need to get the fish out of my main tank. Once the fish are in the QT, how should I treat the ick?

I think I am having an outbreak of ick in my tank. I am going to put all my fish in a QT to treat them. However, I have heard that eels are not as easily infected with ick as fish. Is this true? I don't want to try and place my snowflake in the QT unless I have to. Please let me know.

I have recently noticed that my percula has little white spots on it. From reading, I think it may be the dreaded ick. I don't have a QT yet, but should I get one? Also, I have a tang, bicolor blenny, and a snowflake. Should all of them go into the QT tank, or will the eel be ok in the...

I had a very nice, but small xenia growing in my tank. The other day, it decided to change places on its rock, and I thought that was really cool However, I looked at it later, and a choco chip was on top of it. I removed it, but now the xenia is really small, and only one little arm sticking...

I have a 75gal tank, lr, dsb, cleaner crew, tang, blenny, mandrin, percula, snowflake, cuke, and a couple of anenomies. Lately I have noticed a bunch of white stuff flying around the tank. It looks like loose sand, but when it attaches to the glass it crawls around. It must be some kind of...

Which style of skimmer is better - the Venturi or Berlin Air Lift. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks

Has anyone every tried a diy RO unit? I was wondering if you have if you would mind sharing the plans. I would like to have a RO unit at home so I don't have to buy water all the time. Thanks.

Right now, I don't have a protein skimmer. I have the chance to buy one today, and only today for a real good price, but I don't know much about them (I have just started my sw experience.) Anyway, what is a venturi type protein skimmer? And, what are the pros and cons of it. By the way, I...

I have a 75 gal tank with lr. I am hopefully adding a 4"dsb this week. I am slowing wanting to add corals and more inverts. My question is how many power heads do I need to circ my H2O? I have three right now that push a total of 2200 liters/hour. Should I add another? Or should I take some...

What exactly is a PC light? I keep seeing it talked about, but I am not sure what it is. Also, what is the difference in it and flourescent?

Red Sea ---- Red Sea ---- Red Sea, I should think before I type.

Yes, I mean the Red Berlin Protein Skimmer. I was just typing too fast.

I recently acquired a 75 gal tank with 85 lbs lr, and it has been running for six years. On one of the rocks were some leather corals (id by lfs). They said it looked like it needed to be rejuvinated/regenerated. What does that mean, and what do I need to do to help it. Thanks for your input.

On the 75 gal used setup I just purchased, I got a denitrator. I have no idea what it is, or what it is good for. I am sure that some people use then, but I need more info on it. What would you do?
