Smell it. If its alive it shouldn't smell much. If its dead, it will be one of the worst things you've ever smelled.

IMHO, the Coralife Super Skimmer is a great starter skimmer. I had one for a year and upgraded when I came across a slightly used ASM G3. Much happier now. Now is a great time to find used reef equipment. Sadly because of the economy, so many people are taking down their tanks and selling off...

Look in your phonebook for an acrylic supplier / plastic materials. Some hobby stores may carry them too.

If you meant clean up crew, I wouldn't over do it. Start off small, depending on how much you feed and the filtration, add more if you need to.Nerites are pretty Astreas are great glass cleaners Nassarius for stirring the sand bed Chestnut Turbos are small and unique I would avoid hermits if...

By CUC did you mean "Clean Up Crew" or cucumber?

Here's the catch 22. Astraea are the best for cleaning glass. They're also the worst at righting themselves if they turn over.

This is an Euphyllia attacking.

No Tangs. Just a Lawnmower Blenny who won't touch hair algae.

I just picked up a bunch of Astraeas from a LFS. After acclimating them, I noticed three of them are covered with what appears to be red hair algae. I've never seen red h.a. before. I tried scrubbing it off with a tooth brush, but it didn't help. I'm keeping them isolated for now. Any thoughts...

FYI, Rod's Food just came out with a coral blend.

EcoTech Marine has an entry level VorTech (MP20), which should be available soon. Check it out. Reefcast has a nice podcast interview with the developers.

In my experience, Super Skimmers are notorious for overflowing. I wouldn't keep one outside of my sump. Just my 2 cents.

I use a 60 ml catheter syringe. Picked it up at a drugstore for about $1.25. Works better than a turkey baster because with the plunger you can control the rate of release. (If you dont mind getting your arm a bit wet)

Sorry for butting in... Any disadvantages to getting a Macro lens with a zoom feature? Is it still a true Macro? I am look at a Sigma Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG Macro IF Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS. Thanks
