I had my for three years in my reef tank. I feed him twice a week with suppermarket bought littleneck clams he loves them. The lady at the fish counter doesn't even charge for them, I ask for any that are broken since the star is going to eat them anyway. I also feed him frozen silversides. I...

I checked through some of the older post and could not find a step by step on fragging colt. I have done mushrooms, frogspawn, and zoes. The colt is new to me. It's two months old and is growing like a weed. There is a spot at the base were the three branches have separated. Can I just take a...

the rocks do have a darkness to them they have algea. We travel alot down in the caribian and most live rock is colored that way. The only place i have seen the rocks covered in purple is in a tank. none of my fisk have ich, it was just spots on the glass, I did have llateral Line several years...

Ww have now had our tank for five years this weekend. What an experience. here are some thoughts, and comments. 1, use damels as your first fish they are very hardy.( 5 years later I'm still trying to catch the little bast**ds. 2, You must test water daily to watch for swings in water balance...

I have an aiptasia infestation!!! Somewhere, I remember someone mentioning that one of the wrasses would eat this nasty pest. Can anybody help me out?

Is your tap water from a well or city . I would bring it to your local health dept. they will test it for free. The other sugestions are also very good. This is a hobby of patience.

I have a 75 gal reef. I used river rock for base and used some slate. I then puchased live rock for the second half. It took about a year but now u can't tell the difference from the two different rocks. It much cheaper, and anytime u can find help with the cost in SW it's a bonus.

do u have any rivers or streams near by. I just used river rocks in my tank. it was free and worked great. I just used a wire brush to clean them up with no soap.

The first thing I thought of was your water. You didn't say if you were using tap water or RO. I know you testedthe water for the usual stuff, I thinking there is soething not tested, could be a high cholrine count or a very high metal count. I know in my town they use avery high chorline count...

I learned a costly mistake two days ago. I live in CT. and had just opned up my pool for the summer, that went great. The next day I did My weekly water change on my 75gal reef tank. What I didn't know was about an hour before, I had my hands in the pool water. The extra strong Shock chemicals...

pull out the air intake line where it plugs into the powerhead.Thats the part that has the cone shaped piece on it. then plug it back in. Sometimes they loose the suction part of the cylcone. That should fix it.

no, that with the artinic lights on. they stay on for a hour after shuting the daylight lights off, then a have a double set of moonlights that i wired together and mounted inside my light unit for overnight. I didn't like the moon light strips so I made my own and drilled holes threw my light...

Here is a few shots of my anemone at night, along with my urchin who loves to collect. enjoy :happyfish

I have been using the 150 model for over two years. it works great. Make sure the intake air line is clear and the pwerhead is creating suction. other then that it should work great. I have found that if the inlet side of the powerhead gets clogged, it loses the prime. :happyfish

the only thing I can think of, and I'm far from an engineer is that the water needs the gravity and speed to enter the chamber fast enough to create the cyclone action inside. I believe that is why that type works well as a hang on tank type. Good luck.

I have two both are mid way up on my rock. they love it there, I stated with them up side down for two months I thought the where dead. I themmoved them and stood them straight up they have been doing great ever since.

Sorry, I didn't see that, I found every once in awhile I have the pull the inlet side of the pwerhead line off. The cone shaped piece gets small pieces of seaweed caught in it and the air mix can't get through. I also heard that skimmers don't work well in freshwater due to different type of...

I;m not sure if that is the 100 or 150 model. I use the 150. But what I can tell u are missing some parts. There should an air line that leads from the pwerhead with an adjustment knob attached. Also there should be a hard plastic j shaped piece that goes from the powerhead which would be...

I feed all of mine, During the week I give them formula two pellets. they just live to eat them. I use a turkey baster to feed them

I feed all my mushrooms silversides I just break them up and place the fish in the center until it closes around. I do it once a week. They grow like crazy afterwords
