Let me ask a question....I hate to be a skeptic and all, but I have a couple clams in my tank and have seen the ones at the market and I have never ever seen clams climb up and down live rock from the top of the tank to the bottom and taste every thing inbetween. Not to mention climb up the...

I don't think anyone knows what this thing is

I use 20k 150 mh. What I found was that they are not strong enough to hold color on Acro's unless the wattage is higher. Another words it also depends on range from the corals. my tank is a 65gl. So its not really sufficent. I like 20k though better than all others but next lamps I get will...

Do clams have arms that are an 1-2 inches lng that come out of there shell????

Its on my Digitata frag!!

I caught it comming out of the shell it has a long lanky trunk check the pic

I looked in the Hitchicker archieves and this this was not in them. I have a pic but you can not really get a look at it cause the lights are off. Looks like a large Pistashio Nut Shell with something inside. It is cracked on one side like the nut shell. It is moving around the tank by...

Thanks! My question is what brand of reflector is best along with the ballast and mogule. Also what bulb and what brand and what k rating. :notsure:

I have a 65gl mixed reef...mostly SPS though. I am going to buy a canopy for the tank and was wondering what would be a good set up for it!!! Halides of course.

That place is WEAK. He is way over priced and all the tanks look like crap. I would not buy anything out of there! Plus he has nothing aquacultured and everything he sells is right from the ocean and looks like it was stolen from the reef.

Its a sponge (Chondrilla)...chicken liver sponge. Its reef safe but can smother corals and kill them. From the looks of the pic, it is under the Ricordia....so thats good. I have those myself on a Ric rock and the mushroom folds over it so it will be ok. Just keep your eye on it. I have...

I am leaving on vacation for 1 week and my mother is taking care of the reef. She has done it for me atleast 6 times but now I have some herbavore fish like tangs and to feed the seaweed she will have to place herhands in the tank. She has red acrylic nails and I am worried it will infect the...

Originally Posted by ophiura It depends what your pH is and why it is low. Sometimes lower pH just has to do with poor gas exchange, eg poor circulation, glass tops, etc. Ophiura....do have an answer to my question??

Just open the nearest window to the tank and leave it open all day. If its raining...thats even better. You will be able to raise it either way from 8.0 to 8.2 pretty easy. Or you can pemantly raise it by adding a light to your sump for about 1 month on a reverse lighting cycle from you tank...

I think you are incorrect sir!!!!

Can this be done? I have a high PH at 8.45 and want it to go down alittle, however my DKH is at 8.4 and need it to go up. My Alkaline is high and obviously so I wanted to know how to raise my DKH with out raising PH?
