Originally posted by keaka I bought a feather duster today and its feathers are constantly out. I even touched it when putting it in my tank and it still would not hide its feathers. Do you think it's dead? Is that normal? The worm feels hard but the bottom part is out of its tube. How do...

All the lighting on my tank keeps it at 82 degrees. My temp has stayed stable so I haven't gotten a heater yet. It does fluctuate with the seasons a little depending on ambiant room temp. Usually between 80 and 82. Good luck.

Get a power compact on your aquarium, and stick some hairy shrooms in there. Sometimes they'll host sometimes they won't, whether or not it's an anemone. I've also had luck with xenia. I had a cinnamon clown that would host in virtually anything that had what resembled tenticles. Good luck.

I prefer to keep mine running 24/7. The only thing that's going to happen by turning it off, is you won't be taking out waste. Which might eventually build up over time and raise nitrates. Another option is to buy some earplugs, that is what I ended up doing about the noise in my room. Good luck.

Hey bang guy, it looks like you got some nice looking porcelin (sp?) crabs there. I've got all the stuff you expect to see on LR, and a few cool things. I've got a deep purple sponge that is spreading through my tank, and a nice size pink encrusting tunicate. I had one of those crabs that live...

I think broklyn johnny had a 96 watt PC over his tank. As well as a 5 gal fuge (I think). He also had a 180 gal tank he was waiting to setup. I would stick with softies Good luck

It will be great for softies, but definitly not sps. You may be able to do lps though. Good luck

A sump is a place to hold your equipment like protein skimmers, heaters, and some like to keep bio-balls. I feel that bio-balls aren't necassary in a reef tank. I prefer refugiums, because they provide a place for my pods to reproduce for my scooter blenny. It also is a place to put macro algea...

The more rock you put in the tank, the more surface area the bacteria has to colonize on, i.e. better filtration. If you decide that you don't like the look of a rock garden, that's when you might consider other means of filtration, like bio-balls, bio-wheel and so on. Live rock also brings in...

I personally love the rock design, less is more in my opinion. Looks great.:cool:

Thanks for the suggestions:) . Now about the white spotted puffer. You wouldn't be talking about a melegrious (sp) puffer would you? If so it is a beutiful fish, but they cost around $300 at the store I work at. Or are you talking about the guys that stay small 4"-5"? Is it one like this

Smack it a couple of times to see if it will start working. Then promptly replace it with a mag drive. Good luck

I have been keeping a reef tank for around two years now, so I'm not new to saltwater, just to this area. This is my wish list of fish. 1 Mimic lemonpeel tang 1 Kidiko Moray (already have) 2 Cinnamon clowns I'm having a hard time deciding on the last addition. Either it will be a Volitan or...

I've heard that when adding sand you shouldn't add more than 1/2" at a time. Otherwise you will suffocate the organisms beneth the new sand. Good luck.

It's hard to tell from the pics. Possibly a rock anemone of some sort. If you could get a better pic that would be great. Good luck

I started talking to another customer at my LFS and he told me about the message board. I've been here ever since.

Where is the sump setup located? Next to the tank maybe?

Boulevard Wheat and boulevard Pale Ale are two of my favorite local brews. Also a fan of Hiney, Rolling Rock, Corona, and this one is going to sound girly, but Pyramid apricot brew. I'm not a fan of dark beer, so not a big fan of guiness, too thick for me!

RO/DI = reverse osmosis/deionized Water sent through several stages of filtration.

Anything close to the coast makes the risk of contamination very high. There's no telling what the sand might have in it. Good luck
