    Looking for Anemone substitute

    Right, OK. It would be for two ocellaris. What about an Elegance Coral?

    Looking for Anemone substitute

    I've been intimidated by all the negative feedback about the difficulty of keeping an anemone alive. I'm thinking of getting a coral that would be a good substitute for a pair of clowns. What would be some good ones? P.S. It's a 125 gal

    Quarantine question

    While reading an internet fish supply website, I came across the following statement. "Make sure to do 10-15% water changes every other day to keep the tank healthy". ?? Does this seem like too much too frequently?

    Bristle Star might be the culprit

    Ever since I set up my tank in February, I've had fish disappear without a trace. It's been a big mystery and I've taken steps to narrow down the causes. I capped my overflows and placed screen tops on the tank so that ruled out anything jumping out or getting sucked into the filter. The only...

    Algae ID

    Sorry, I forgot about this thread. The problem went away several months ago. I was thinking it was cyano. After plucking it of the sand several times and doing some WC's it went away. Thanks for the help.

    Sharp lights.

    I don't know, he might be on to something. I work midnights and I hate it when the blinds are open when I'm home. It makes me cranky.

    Water Volume Formula?

    I have a 60 gal sump/fuge that is only partially filled with water. Is there a formula to figure out how much water I have in there? (Length x Width x square root of the pythagoreom theorom)? I knew I should of paid more attention in math class!

    Screen vs Eggcrate

    yup, I used the clear stuff. I found it on E-bay. I think it gives it a real clean look. I wouldn't think that the color of the netting would affect the amount of light going through since there's almost nothing there to block the light, interesting.

    Screen vs Eggcrate

    This will at least eliminate one of the doubts of where my fish disappear to.

    Screen vs Eggcrate

    I just started switching from eggcrate to screen netting, and I must say, it looks better, the holes are smaller and there's more light shining through in all directions. The squares are only 1/4", so nothing is getting through that. Check it out. Meowzer, this is also for you. Sorry to hear...

    My latest QT residents

    This weekend I picked up two medium banghai cardinals and a small lawnmower blenny. Unfortunately one of the cardinals didn't acclimate very well and died overnight. He seemed to be breathing a little deeper than the other one and was not eating. The other one munches on whatever I throw in...

    RO water quality question

    So I've finished putting together my RO/DI prep. area. My question is this: Does the container that the water collects in have to be air tight to maintain RO/DI quality?
