I bought a full spectrum spiral-type compact florescent bulb "for sewing" according to the package. It has worked AMAZINGLY well for growing chaeto and caulerpa in my 'fuge. It is growing very fast with this ~$8 bulb. You can find it at Wal*Mart, with the other CF bulbs. I think it says "for...

I have an 180 g reef tank, and I have a recent problem with fish compatability. I have had a Spotted Hawkfish for about 3 weeks, and he is much loved. I just received a new order of fish a few days ago, checking compatability before ordering. One of the new fish, an diamond goby (or orange...

Any opinions on a comfortable viewing height for a 180 G in-wall tank? I know that it sorta depends on the chairs, but I bought a setup that has a 40"H homemade stand, and I wanted to see if there were any opinions on how high the tank should be off the ground for comfortable viewing. I will...

I am going to paint the back and sides of an in-wall 180G tank, and I have an idea. I'd like to leave a few "viewing portholes" in the back, so I can peek at what's going on BEHIND the live rock wall. I plan to mask off a few 2"H x 6"W window slots, then paint with dk. blue spray paint. I'll...

I have a 55 gal tank cycling now. I would like to have fish and some inverts. Looking to buy livestock soon. Please comment on compatability of this list. I DON'T plan to buy them all and cram them in there, just looking for a good combination of these. I picked them for looks - not whether...

I have been setting up a marine aquarium for the first time (all new equipment), and I have a problem that I need advice on. I was cycling the tank, everything was going great, looking reall cool, then I made a rookie mistake. I grabbed an available pitcher and was adding some salt water to...
