From everyones help, I have figured out that I don't have anything to skim off of the surface water. Just the little suggestions from everyone have been enough for me to relialize(sp) that I need to pull water throughout the entire water column. I've started to look into skimmer boxes for my...

aaron - I don't add calcium, I never said I did. I do have one of my powerheads aggetating(sp) the surface plus the return spray bar keeps the water moving at the surface. Where the powerhead's jet meets with the surface, the water is clean which lets me know there is hope. I am soon ordering...

I don't have a test for my calcium levels yet but I need to get more ammonia tests today and I'll try that too. The deluxe attachment sounds like a good idea, I'll look into that after I get off work.

I had a lunare wrasse with a lionfish, and a huma huma in my 125g and it was one of the coolest fish I ever had. I sold the lunare and the huma huma(lion died) so I could combine that one and my invert tank. My girlfriend and I are moving to Florida for grad. school and have plans to get a BIG...

I scooped the water out for the water change but I am going to give it a few days to be sure of the results. I'll keep everyone posted. Hey, Wester97, I and the rest of the Big XII are rooting for the sooners. WHO CARES WHEN YOU LOST, at least OU lost to a good team. Newt

Something I did for my 42g hex when it was setup was to cut a strip of background and just put it on the one panel of glass right behind the rock (the very back). It helped to hide my hang on filter. I thought about having it on a few of the glass panels but it obviously looked weird that way.

A few things, from what I have read and listened to people say who know more than I, I wouldn't try the hippo with naso. For one, yeah a bigger tank is a must for the naso, they grow upwards and beyond 16" or so. I always believe in giving fish MORE room then they need and I have seen for the...

Yeah, I have a Prizm protein skimmer, which I know is only rated for 100g but I still believe it's better then nothing. Wester - Thanks for putting that way on where the protein matter is in the water and it's properties. I think I'm going to take the glass tops of today and simply take a bucket...

The cleaning crew was a thought I've had but I don't have a reef setup, just fish and some inverts. Will they have enough to eat even though I don't have intense(sp) lighting? I keep my coke in my freshwater tank, it burns going in coming from the saltwater. -kidding- It doesn't hurt that bad...

:help: In my 125g has a whiteish like powder floating on the top. It looks like when crushed coral is added, the powder makes the water cloudy for a while. Kind of like that but it's just on the surface. I have a skimmer but that's not doing much help since the intake is below the surface...

I would recommend(sp) to anyone the book "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" by Robert Fenner. SWF.com sells it for $27.99. It is a book that I am constantly going back to just reference different ideas I have. Give it a look, Newt

I'm moving to Gainesville around July, 2004 for Grad. School. I'm curious to know within about a 2 hour radius of there what are some of the best LFS around. If anybody has any good info I too would like to know. <newtonpost@hotmail.com> Thanks, Newt:D

I'm looking for a Powder Blue or maybe a Powder Brown tang. I live in Columbia, Mo. (Smackdad center of MO.) I don't want one from the LFS. If anyone knows of or has one fairly close let me know. Thanks

Copper based medicenes is what I meant by the last message. READ WARNINGS ON THE PACKAGING and research anything you are to put in a tank full of living organisms. And Sailfin, you have a beauty there!

In regard to the Ick problem with the sailfins, I've found the best way to rid a tank of ick and to keep it gone is by the use of a cleaner shrimp. The cleaner shrimp also are very entertaining to watch as they jump on the "DIRTY FISH" to clean them. My Sailfin is about 7" and he goes every...
