Thank God, finally an answer to why I have no zoanthids in my tank-EVERYTHING eats them!!! Personally I always did consider the Q-tip sponge the "cheetah" of the filter feeders!! Just kidding-great webpage-cant wait til its finished. It's definitly in my top 10 of bookmarks!!

I just got what I think was a great deal-a drilled 75 gal tank for $60.00. My question to the forum is this: The corner overflow is made of glass and has NO teeth cut in it. Its just the flat edges of the glass. Has anyone ever heard of this? Should I make two pieces out of acrylic and...

you could use your 20 gal as a sump no problem. theres plenty of links for proper placement of your baffels. when i made mine, i used glass from home Depot. easy to cut and aquarium sealent works great for installing them. as far as skimmers go i actually used an Odessy 75 (bought it online for...

Just looked at your product picture in the post. Mine actually came with gate valve that mounted between the pump and inlet line. It also has a "clip" molded into the housing for the airline. I forgot to mention that you can use 3/4 pvc to change your return line if you want, making it very...

I've been using one as HOB on my 55 for over 2 years now with absolutly no complaints. After the 24-48 hour breakin its been working perfectly, never overflowed (but i installed an outlet abd have a tube running down to a milk jug under my tank). Total cost of upgrading it was $6.00. I'm...

could a purple lobster live with an Orange toad fish, 2 bigeyed squirrel fish, foxface, fuzzy dwarf? how big do they get? would it grow fast enough to be too big to become a meal?

I broke the golden rule and made a purchase before researching everything possible. I went out and purchased a Foxface (coming out of QT in a day or two). My plan was to put him in my 90 FOWLER along with my Fuzzy Dwarf, 2 Bigeyed Squirrelfish, maroon clown, and orange toad fish. I think...

I had two. Best critter in the world if you ask me!

Originally Posted by natclanwy No, HOB overflows require a minimum amount of flow rate to keep air from accumulating at the top of the U-tube. In this case the OP was trying to push the water up 10ft which creates a large head pressure for the pump to overcome so the 1000gph 4000HH pump will...

how do you acclimate them? I tried putting them in a container of tank water until they "burp" and then ransfering them but they always die after a few days. Should they be drip acclimated instead?

the other fish wont fit in a 10 gallon-my qt is a 40 breeder tank. hes definitly acting different now-hankging out near the surface instead of swimming around. the eye looks worse-no longer extended but more ragged like its torn. not looking good. couldnt find maracyn 2 around here. did find a...

the fish in QT has 2 weeks to go. got it from a unreputible store for a steal so im not taking any chances with it. i cud set up a 10 gal with a few pcs of live rock and a hob magnum that i use for circulation in my 55-its been running in there for over a year. would that hurry the cycle along?

QT tank currently has an occupant. will ingested antibotics help? im currently treating with Ampicillin. i coata pc of krill with it and target feed him-he takes it no problem. will it clearup on its own?

I need help identifying and treating this eye problem. It started about a week ago with just a few spots on my squirrelfishes eye. At first I thought it was just cloudy eye from his recent tank transfer but its gotten progressivly worse. He's acting normal with his usual voracious...

cmon people-time is of the essence!!

i dont think thats true for them. i had one pass on in my 75 reef and the only thing that happened was my cleaner and blood shrimp had a schmorgousbord (spelling?). i had even seen the guy "ink" when my clarkii was bugging him-nothing happened then either. my tank had shrooms, polyps, and a few...

sea hare will mow through it like its going outta style!!

I had a sea hare that not only cleaned all my sea hair but it took care of any wayward calapra that had made its way to my DT.
