Anything you are willing to part with that would take care of a 75 aggressive in trade for a 15W Aquanetics UV sterilizer?

I have recently set up a ten gallon nano and it is currently cycling. I have a 3 inch caribsea aragonite bed and 16lb of carribbean live rock. For circulation I am using a Skilter250, Minijet 101, and Minijet 404 (101 is facing surface). Hitchikers include lots of kinds of sponge (probably...

Sleasia, a nano refers to a reef tank that is 20g or under.

Upon further research of the 2x13W Rite-Lite lamps I discovered that they are not compatible with the lights you can order and replace them and are only 4100k. The 13W work lamp however IS 6500k and is replacable. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. The 13W Bookworm lights are still an awesome...

I am sure that a few of you have jumped on the bookworm bandwagon as I have. For those of you that don't know what these are they are a 13W power compact sold as a booklamp that you can attach to a hood as a cheap waterproof alternative to a retrofit. I went into Lowe's today to buy my Rite...

It is a 75 gallon aggressive FO tank. I am running the Oceanic 75 sump wet/dry filter that came with the tank. I have Southdown with crushed coral bed that is about 3 inches deep, not a DSB by any stretch of the imagination. The sump I have is not really able to accomodate a skimmer or...

I have had this green cover over my sand and decorations for a while now. I assumed this was a bad algae breakout and vaccuumed it up at water changes. After a week or two it would return and I would again vaccuum it. This last time I noticed that the green stuff has made my sand clump...

The short answer to your question Joey is yes and yes. Most corals are easier to keep than anemones regarding lighting and water quality although some SPS is very hard to keep as well. If you are going to try corals you should get rid of the anemones unless you have enough room to devote a...

Is anyone in the Atlanta area willing to trade either a good sump or a skimmer for a 15W Aquanetics Inline UV Sterilizer? It originally retailed at $130 and is rated for a tank bigger than mine (75).

You could do a mantis tank. They seem to be the new popular trend. Just make sure you have thick enough glass :) .

Since you guys have such an abundance of it, next time you clean the glass you can send me a few scrapings. I will pay the shipping if it is not too expensive.

I don't know what you guys are talking about anemones being hard to keep. I had one and it has not only thrived, it has multiplied. Aiptasia is some of the hardiest stuff I have ever seen. Seriously though, there are corals that look like anemones that are easier to keep. If you must get...

Interested in Six line and skimmer... Any idea what you are willing to part with either for?

Hey guys, Recently on the boards there has been some talk to cheap compact fluorescent bulbs that can be plugged into a normal 60W light bulb ballast from Home Depot. They are 19W 6500K bulbs. I just got two of them and ordered a 10W 50/50 screw in bulb as well. I am going to put these in...

WASHINGTON, July 17 — In a study of Caribbean reefs, British researchers find that coral has declined by about 80 percent in some areas, a loss that may take many decades to recover. The study examined the health of the coral reefs across the whole Caribbean basin and found that at some sites...

That small light from the hardware store, does it have a high enough kelvin rating for corals or would it cause a lot of algae growth (i.e. above 6500K)? If so I may have to get some.

I recently got a baby clown trigger from swf.com and he eats the lettuce and seaweed that I put on the veggie clip I have for the coral beauty and blue tang (which don't eat from it coincidentally). This is not normal fare for a trigger I don't think. Does this mean that I am not feeding...

I am guessing that I got the fish in this condition although I did not notice it until last night. I have some silversides and sand eels that I could chop up to feed him but I believe they are too big to feed him whole. Other than that what would you reccommend? I was thinking possibly squid...
