About 5 little red worms has shown up in my tank. They float around and land on on stuff and move around then start floating around again. I have fish ,shrimp, lobster, crabs and snails in the tank.(125 gal)

I added some colt coral and a feather duster but the angel did not go into hiding until about 15 days after i added them. I did a 25 % water change with no results and nothing else looks abnormal. I have not seen the angel feed. Thanks for the ideas.

I have a 3 spot angel for about 1 year, the tank (125g) has been set up for two years. The angel has been a great fish alwas swiming around and would come to you at feeding time.Now for the last 6 days it stays hidden under the rocks and will not come out. all water conditions are still good. It...

I have a 125 gal tank with fish,inverts,LR,LS (18 months old) I thought I would add more light to add coral. I added 2 96w smart lamps to the tank. It was alot brighter but over about a month I noticed the my coraline alge was dying off and I started getting brown alge at a rapid rate which...

What is the address for Ultra UV's home page?

Has anyone built there own tanks. Or does anyone know a good site to get this info. I would like to look into a large tank >200gal. I found some sites but the info was not detailed.

Now that I have more money involved with my tanks and I got to know the fish/crabs I was wondering the same thing. What do you do when you loose power? Mr Salty I know your out there....help

I conected the pump to the filter using tubbing so I can remove the bottom with out taking anything else apart. I have 40lbs LR and 80lbs LS and it has handled the bio filtration. I found no metal parts only PVC. The mag 7 puts out 700gph at 0' and 500 at 3'. The flow remains pretty constant...

Do not use a dimmer switch with the pump. I'm sure that if you contact the pump manufacturer they would eliminate this option.

go to www.petsolutions.com if they don't have a picture ask for a catalog and look at page 34.

I was reading the talk on how to cycle a tank (with livestock or with out). On my 30g tank I used molly's and it took 9 weeks. On my 125g tank I used 80lbs live sand and 20lbs live rock and after a week checked for ammo, and nitrites and they were both 0. so I added 4 damsels and waited for the...

I made a filter using a mag-7 pump and a whole house filter from the hardware store. I mounted all of the parts on a wood base. The filter has a built in bypass so I can use the system to just circulate if I want. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and everything in my 125g tank is doing fine...

I have a 30 gal with a single 40 w light and added some live rock about 2 weeks ago and it still seems to be ok. But your right I have read alot about lights cause I just got a new 125 Gal tank and they seem to contradict each other.(still have not gotten lights for the new tank yet) Mike

The RegalTang is not recommended for use with Invertebrates (book). The info on the Pakistani Butterflyfish is: Indian Ocean 6" (wild) 4" (aquarium) Most frozen marine foods and greenstuff. May be intolerant of other members of its own, or other, species. No, not to be trusted with...

It was Fiji @ 11.00 lb. Yes he bites it and chews it up. Looks like he is eating popcorn. My Lunar wrasse that jumped out last night seems to be ok. Glad i was still awake when he jumped out. Mike

Steve I found a lfs about 30 miles away that had some live rock so i picked up 10lbs and put it in the tank. The trigger loves it and keeps biting it. He liked it so much he let the clown have the rock he used to like (which was the clowns to start with). Thanks for the info. Mike

tonight I heard a noise by my desk and looked around and didn't see anything then i saw on the floor my 3-4" lunar wrasse. I put him back in and he swam away so I hope it's ok. Is this a trait of this kind of fish or am I just lucky? Mike

I also use the SeaClone skimmer and like it. mike

I'm new to this too, and had the same questions you did but I got one just cause everything I read said you had to have one. Now that I have used it for a few months I agree that you must have one. You have to see it to believe it. I bought a SeaClone which is good up to 100 gal and can be used...

I use Aquarium Manager. You can get it at ZDNET downloads. Its not bad but I found that I like to fill out a log book that I keep by the tank and then transfer it to the PC when I feel like it. Mike
