I love my Current USA. Check them out. As a new client they might oblige you and give you their recent sale price including docking mounts. {mounts are not as nice as I expected but free}, will eventually get better quality ones. My tank is 24 inches deep and the 2 duals at 4 bulbs each, is a...

007, I will search again. Haven't seen them, thanks. Midwest reefer, I do have just plain calcium, which is what she is used to useing. Just that I wanted to spare her the addition of each. My calcium level is a tad high so must get that leveled off before she takes over. Thanks for the...

The skimmer is working but shooting up completey white bubbles, column is filled with them . Am playing with the adjustment to get it to slow down. Never had this problem. No dead fish or anything else, except for newlynhatched clowns again, of which I have not seen any of. This occurred last...

You are correct about the impeller. It is always filthy, but I had already brushed it clean. The difficulty in starting is always a problem but this time it took much more patience. At least with several tries, it does start. Pain in the ---it is. Good to hear that about the skimmer. I am very...

How long should one depend on a skimmer lasting? I clean the pump and entire body including the plastic aerator balls once a month. Thursday morning I cheked as I always do the system and the large pail collecting the proteins had flooded all through the bottom of the tank. The skimmer has...

Please anyone who uses this product successfully in place of the addition of Cal., Stront.,, and Moly., three times a week, Is it a shortcut and can I depend on it. Having someone caring for my tank for three weeks and she has requested some shortcuts so as to make the care of my tank less...

Do you have Halides? What type of macro alge do you have? I don't have any and always thought in order to have that you had to have Halides. Just put up new compacts, four 65 watts in each. Very bright and now I have an even bigger problem with heat. Have a fan on all day but now need to...

Please pay attention to Manna_man, . I would still go watch them a few times in the LFS , see which stay together, one should be larger than the other, and pick your own pair. Two pairs is asking for trouble, especially if they aren't the same. Very small, less than a year are not going to...

Look at some of the newer compact lighting. You have a small system, just actinic and day lights{flourescents}. in the new compacts will do just fine, scaled down to your thirty gal. then you could have lots of soft leather corals which vary in color, appearance etc, and your clown will...

This wasn't addessed to me but you can tell which clowns have mated or will become mates. From a reputable LFS you can take the time to observe groups of clowns, groups of no more than ten, it's just easier, the fewer, and they have to have some size to them, not too small, any store would not...

The sun coral only gets DT's; it has developed new cups and is doing beautifully. That is what I was told to feed it, from several different sources, including SWF. It is in the proper shaded place in bottom of tank. Others have told me that each cup needs feeding. Now that is bunk. In...

Benghai's also mate readily. While I had mine they mated many times and what was not consumed by the tankmates went down the flow pipes into the sump and thrived until 4-5 months where-by I sold them to the LFS or made trades for food and such. They are very cool fish. I sold them back...

True! It would be great to have a quarintine tank. That is the best way of ridding ich, for good. To have to catch a fish from a tank filled with rocks and corals is a major , major upset for all inhabitants, and for me, so the garlic extreme was my choice and thank goodness ich hasn't taken on...

Well, It has only been three days since the Clarkii eggs have hatched. The behavior of the male has stayed the same. Overly protective of the female and very protective of the rock right next to and partially hidden by their enormous leather they adopted several years ago. Tonight they were...

I did notice that the foodstuffs floating around the fish seem to be a bit much, more than a few fish can consume. I have learned that overfeeding is probably one of my worst habits and causes much of the problem I have as far as algea is concerned. Too much feeding can raise nitrates and...

I realize too many suggestions can get confusing, but had to mention that as I have had ich twice in my marine tank, always brought in by a new arrival, contrary to how I have been told , that IS how my clowns contracted it. I used Garlic Extreme in the tank for a week, putting in 10{90 gal...

Would love to find a sea squirt in my tank! Joes juice works to keep the aptasia you have in control but they do come back a few days later. The Juice kills the polyp portion but they are so deeply imbedded that the juice does not get the bottom of them and they do grow back., Can someone tell...
