What he was meaning is: You need good flow all around your tank. Sometimes the area behind the rocks are forgotten. You can put your powerheads low on the back and put your rocks around them to hide them from view. Put them where ever you want. Just check to be sure that the flow is good all...

Yes, live rock can die even if it is in saltwater. If the saltwater isn't keep properly. If the water get too cold, hot. or no circulation so the water go stagnate. If you have live rock that you want to keep alive until you are ready to put it in your tank. Just put the rock in a bucket...

Yep, the little bubble tip is reef safe, all anemones are reef safe. As for the little guy staying put. They will find a spot and if they like it they will stay. But in a week, month or a few months they may decide they don't like it there any more and they will move. They like to plant...

Don't put the glass tops on the tank. Your corals will receive alot more of the needed light without the covers, There are also heat issues, and gas exchange issues. If you are thinking about getting fish that might be jumpers, or you feel better haveing something over your tank, use the...

I would say the G2 or G3, It is a good idea to go with a skimmer that is over rated for your system, Plus when you figure the water volume you also need to figure the water in the sump. I would do a G-3.

Did you check the levels in your tank. If the alk or ph is off, that could be one of the causes of stress. How is the nitrates, amonia, ect. I really hope you are wearing gloves each and every time you put your hands in the tank. Espeacially since you are pregnant. I would really hate to...

You should never just throw trace elements in your tank. Before you add anything, you should test to see if in fact you need it. If you just add things because it is Wednsday, You could throw your whole balance off. If you test you freshly made up saltwater, it should test out just right for...

Seio's are nice, but the experience I've had with them, Next time I would just put down the money for the Tunze. But biggest issue I've found with the seios are they don't come back on when they are turned off. So your power goes out, when it comes back on, chances are the seios will not...

When I made mine, I was nervous, I had never even held a piece of PVC in my hands. I had never done anything like that, I was sure I would mess it up. It was so easy. Almost as easy as eating. I was so proud of it, I had to take it to our club meeting and show everyone. Look what I did. Im...

260 pc would be ok for only mushrooms, green star polyps, and corals that do not like a lot of light, like chilli corals. And that is about it.

As far as electric, don't figure on going to the movies anymore. An no more going out to eat. But that ok, you will really enjoy eating peanut butter sandwiches in front of your tank. I have been very lucky in that aspect. I m not sure, but I suspect the something must have gone wrong...

Well I talked the other one that works at the store, (the one that called EMS. The 16year old is still in Intensive Care on a vertalator. Time will tell. This kids knew better that not to wear gloves or eye protection. He grew up with reefs, and had been working at the store since he was 13...
