    Help with tank move

    I have two weeks till I set my new 75 bowfront up. I'm moving all of my fish into a 15 gallon rubbermade bin. My question is how long do you think I can keep my fish in the bin? With a powerhead and a heater? I have 2 clowns, Flame Hawk, Foxface, Gobie, chromies. Thanks for the help

    Help with upgrade

    One other thing I'm concerned about is my lighting. Right now I have 324 Watt Extreme T-5's. Would this be enough lighting for a 75 gallon with the BT Anemone that I have? I also have a frogspawn, brain, & polyps. Thanks again.

    Show off your Clowns!

    Here's my female. She is very protective of the anemone, anything comes near it and she freaks. The male usually hangs out under the anemone instead of in it, not sure why.

    salt wont dissolve

    I use reef crystal salt. Sometimes when I mix the salt in water it will not dissolve, does anyone know why? Does the salt go bad if it gets old? Thanks

    Help with green algae

    I actually buy the water at the store. It comes out of a culigans machine. They have the dates on the machine that says when the cartridges are changed and they change them regularly. Maybe the water is just RO and DI?
