The multiple center outlet you mentioned would not be safe if you are planning on using all outlets at the same time and exceeding the 15 amp standard that your wall outlet is rated for. This would cause you recepticle to fail. It is probally connected to a 20 amp circuit breaker and also...

I currently use URI lamps in my tank. But can find a LFS that handles them in my area. Does anybody order these online? Any problems with shipments? What brands do you suggest that might be easiler for me to get? I think everybody near me sells the Coralife Brand. Any information would be...

I have 4 emeralds that take care of the bubble algae and some hair algae. I have never seen them go after anything else.

My lemonpeel recently has cleared a spot inside a hole in the rocks. At night it swims into the hole and lays on its side. If I walk by, it'll swim out as though protecting the hole. Any clues as to what might be happening? This just started about a week ago. Only additions to the tank have...

Added it to my tank. Four days later hair algae starting to turn brown color and beginning to lay down instead of waving in the current. Tried pulling some off the rocks, but it's not quite dead yet. Will try again this weekend to see if it comes off easier. So far seems to be working. No...

From my experience if you have a dottyback, any fish similiar in shape and size will be harassed. My purpleback is the king of the tank. Only fish it gets along with is the lemonpeel that was added when he was put in. I'm in the process of trying to catch him and moved himto another tank, so...

Use Kent Marine Liquid Calcium, Essential Elements, Pro Buffer dKH. I've heard B-Ionic is good, but haven't found any in my area.

I have a Green Brittle Star in my 135 tank. Can I add a Red Serpent Star? Will they co-exist without problems?

Leave them in...my cleanup crew makes quick work of them...gives them a bigger job to handle...HTH

If possible, try and post a photo for ID... And for the time being if you have a sump, place the crab in the sump. He still get the benefits of the tank and is out of harms way. I currently have an unidentified crab in my sump and he seems to enjoy the place.

What will the peppermint shrimp after they finish the Aiptasia? Will they start eating on my corals? I have just discovered one Aiptasia tonight on a new piece of live rock put in the tank yesterday. I must have missed it during inspection before Iput it in the tank. Opinions please? I'm...

Based on pricing, SWF is just as good or better than getting it from LFS, priced pound per pound.

What do you do to maintain levels? What supplements if any do you use and how often?

What were the results? Corals, fish, invertebrate, etc?

How do you acclimate your corals. I following the instructions the same way I acclimate fish from SWF. But yesterday at a LFS I went to see what they had received with their weekly shipments and they just cut open the bag, reached in, pulled the coral out and dropped it in their tank. Told me...

Here's the first coral my wife picked out. Sold to us as a torch, but looks like a frogspan to me. I'm enjoying her interest in the tank right now....:cool:

This may be an old tip, but I found that if I rubber band a tube cleaner bruch to a dow rod and twist it. That the hair algae get wrapped up on the brush. Clean the brush when it no longer pulls the hair algae. Go for getting into tight spots. HTH

Forgot to mention that I'm a big KISS fan, like the way you room is decorated!!

Looks great. Maybe some day I'll convince my wife to let me use the wall in the den to place a tank. I have a 2' space between mt den wall and bathrrom wall, currently used as a storae closet...someday just maybe...tankplumbing will in there:rolleyes:

Does anybody have a picture of one of these? It fits the desription that I found on the web. Large body, small legs, when scared it pulls legs and claws in and resembles a pebble or rock.
