I recently started setting up my a reef in my marinland column 60. I purchased a red mushroom colony and a brown button? colony. The Button polyps have not opened up in over a week but the mushroom looks fine. I have tried dusting it off several times and moving it to different spots to no...

Just go to one of the other plans. it tells you where to get one or how to make one.

Originally posted by jayster stoy. How about some more info on how you run your tank. i.e. how often and how much are your water changes? I am new to this but I have a magnum 350 cannister filter and always assumed that model moved 350 gallons and hour through its power head. I also have a...

Rye It's aight man just try and stay on topic. And as far as the protein skimmer go to to www.about.com and did a search for "DIY Protein Skimmer". I got a lot of hits on the subject. There are a bunch of plans to make the Venturi Skimmers and Air Skimmers. I took 1 basic design because it was...

Originally posted by ntvflgirl Stoy, How do you make a homemade protein skimmer? Haven't seen that in the DIY forum, I don't think, anyway. Do you plans I could look at, or an example? I am on my way to work but I will email you the directions when I get home. Quite easy actually.

Broomer5 Just let the intake run free? Also the jets should be pointed up? I appreciate your help. Also RyBread I was not flaming you but that was not the point. To extend that one step further I have NO fish in my tank that is even 2 inches long. I understand overcrowding as I volunteer for...

That was a posting from when I first started here. Since then the Tang is gone. Also the bioload you are talking about you must not know about. Try perfect parameters and not even one sighting of any parasite in about a year. Now anyone here not wanting to complain and moan about what they do...

I do not have an undergravel filter but I would like to set up a powerhead or two to reep their benefits. What sort of flows do i need and where should I position them in my tank. Thanx.

Umm anyways I decided for sure it is ich. The tang has some black spots but very little. I administered the copper treatment and lost a scooter blenny. However the flame angel already is looking better and the tangs black sports are disappearing as quickly as they came. The blenny had been...

I am sorry I should have mentioned this prior. The fish have been in the tank for 4 months. No new additions since then. Also I did quarantine the fish in a 5.5 tanke I had before but my brother repossesed his tank for his goldfish.

I have a 30 gal with two small fake perc. <2 in combined, Small 1 in. Yellow tang, flame angel 1 in., and three yellow tail blues <2,5 in combined, <1 scooter blenny, chocolate chip starfish, 3 blue legs, one scarlet, 2 mexican turbo snails. All small fish and perfect water conditions. All of a...

What should I be expecting to pay for live rock?

this is gonna seem really dumb. Live rock is not coral?

Thank you very much guys. My osci's are very pretty and I am very content with them. They are paired nicely and get along beautifully. They have the best personality too. Very friendly and accepting of humans. They stare at people more than people look at them. They come right up to the front of...

Well the blue legs I read do not grow to be too large or aggressive but I may be wrong. The run of the mill crab is very docile and very withdrawn. He is more afraid of everything else in the tank that what they are of him. He has never lashed out and I had more problems with my killer coral...

I know my percs aren;t true percs but what are the differences then? Will one be smaller, live longer, more or less active, etc.

In my new 29 GAL I have a 330 Biowheel filter, fluorescent hood, Crushed Coral, Dead Coral structures, artificial plants. I am going to add my two fake percs(under an inch a piece), 1 run o the mill crab(1/2" diameter shell top), 4 marine hermits (very very small). WHat else could or should I...

After watching the tank for a bit it seems the fin is growing back but the peppermint shrimp seems fiesty. It charges the perculas. Also they are that small as I know a breeder that supplies the local pet store. How big will they get. Won't the tank limit their size somewhat? Maybe I just will...

it was cycled using a yellow tailed damsel and three hermit crabs. so 1 inch of fish three dime sized hermits and a small peppermint shrimp no bigger than a quarter is too much?

yes it has been cycled
