I moved two tanks (135 & 55) when my wife insisted on new carpet. Took the opportunity to have some modification made to the 135 at the same time. LFS owner came over and we emptied the water into provided tubs. Caught the fish, removed the LR. Removed the substrate. LFS took tank back to...

Photograph the tank, then remove the rocks, remove fish, study picture, put rock back in tank. Tank want look the same, but at least the fish will be out. Good luck.

What part of Houston are you in? What LFS's do you frequent and buy from? I'm in Beaumont approximately 78 miles from the Bud plant. I make trips to Houston often, always looking for LFS that have good reps with the locals. Planning a trip soon just to hit the LFS, any suggestions would be...

Possibly just molting? My scarlets molt frequently leaving legs all over. Sometimes it looks like a battlefield happened, but then I'll see the hermits emerging from their shells after a few hours.

Why can't you take your tanks? Check with you LFS maybe he can help you find a responsible buyer. Selling to just anybody with money might not be good for those that have depending on you for the last two years. Had a friend who divorce and sold her tank because she didn't have room at her...

My astra snails are mowing down my hair algae bloom. Lettuce nudi is only getting a small amount at a time. My sally is having a feast nightly on the stuff. Also heard that the lawnmower bleenie works well, but after the algae is gone you'll need to feed it with algae sheets. HTH

Great looking rock and tank. I agree though that if you plan on adding coral (probably are) that you'll need to create a more flat surface to place the corals. Or you'll have a shelf effect with two rows for coral placement, top and bottom. Good luck and enjoy!

It's a 20 long. I'll be a refuge only, to go along with my current sump. Still researching designs, so I haven't settle on one yet. Any suggestions!

What is the best brittle star to have in my reef tank? Currently have a green, but some say that he'll hunt smaller fish.

I have a 135 tank. What would be a good refuge size? I currently have a 20 gal just sitting around. Would that be big enough?

I'm looking to add two pecula clowns, six line wrasse, cleaner shrimp and two peppermint shrimp and maybe another small fish soon. Do I need to move my green brittlestar to the sump? I've been reading where they like to go after the smaller fish. Mine has been kind enough to dispose of my...

I used Kalkwasser, just a small amount in the end of a syringe. Shot right into it and sucked what was left out with the baster. Kalkwasser is a calcium supplement, you might gice the liquid calcium a try though. Good luck.

I agree, you didn't mention anything about adding chlorine remover to your tapwater before doing the top off.

My LFS has one that opened all the time until he moved it to a tank with better lighting, it took a few weeks before it adjusted and started opening up during the day again. HTH

Great looking setup. Enjoy the new DSB.

Have the LFS hold the fish for you. Clean out as much of the pieces as possible. Depending on the size of your tank, the size of the anemone and the size of your clean up crew, you might want to get ready to do a water change. The ammonia level may start to rise. If so, do a partial water...

My hermits also were looking to upgrade. Snails were handy until I added more shells also.

Good looking stand and canopy. You husband did an excellent job. Enjoy filling the expanded spave with LR and coral, I know you'll have fun.

Using a tank not designed for saltwater use can sometimes do this under the weight of the rocks in the tank. These tanks use a thinner glass based on holding water and substrate, not LR. I think the glass is thinner. I have an Oceanic 55 gal and my daughter bought a 55 gal from Wal-Mart...
