    Removing HOB filter?????

    I have a 50 gallon. I stopped using my HOB filter too as people told me I didn't really need it. Well after a couple weeks, I filled it with fresh carbon and turned it back on. From now on, I will always run it because it polishes the water and gives it that sharp look that I love. It really...

    PC Lights & Timers

    That is 16 hours of light... Might be a little much. You may see alot of algea growth. I run mine with the PC's turning on at 10:30 AM and Halides turn on at 11:30 AM. The PC's go off at 10:30 PM and Halides off at 11:30 PM. The light coming through the windows in the morning is enough to...

    does anyone have an arrow crab?

    I have had mine for 6 months or so in my reef. No problems at all. He just walks around scavaging. Pretty cool to look at.

    the sun polyps with barnacles

    Mine usually start opening as the day is coming to an end. They will open fully when the lights go out. This may be because I feed the tank at about 9:00pm. I dose bioplankton with brine and they come way out. Once the lights are off and everything else is full and sleeping, I can shut off the...

    Sick Leather PIC

    By the time I realized what to do it was too late. I would definately try cutting off the bad stuff or fragging the good. If it starts to go, do yourself a favor and take it out cuz it gets a little smelly as it rots.

    Sorry to say mine started that way and was completely rotted within a couple weeks. The fish actually started picking at it.

    An Interesting Peice of Livestock

    Anyone who is spending 10 grand on a sea turtle is not gonna treat it like crap! The kid has a 500 gallon tank for crying out loud! I would say it is in an appropriate home. I could see turning the guy in if he was selling them for a hundred bucks but 10 grand? The people who buy these are going...
