    Ultra Grade Clam

    I am looking to get a nice clam with good color. It seems that the Ultra grade clams are very hard to come by. Any suggestions on how to find a nice Ultra grade clam? I am also debating between Crocea and Maxima. I understand the difference in possible inches, but I am also interested in the...

    Protein Skimmer in Overflow?

    I have two overflow chambers, and I am interested to know if there is an issue with placing a skimmer inside one of the chambers. It will need to be a relatively small footprint, possibly a Tunze 9005.

    Coraline on LR

    I have also read that coralline algae favors blue lighting for growth, and high nitrate and phosphate levels will inhibit growth.

    Cleaner Clams: The good, the bad, and the ugly

    I have been reading about the cleaner clams, and it seems there is a lot of differing opinions on them. Was hoping to get some feedback on the good and the bad on these clams. We all know they are ugly, but they live under the sand....so who cares.

    Conch Snail

    Well I do not pretend to be a conch expert, but I have never heard of them eating fish. If it doesn't work out, you can always fry it up and then use the shell for a musical instrument.

    Conch Snail

    You can google "strombus" and go to Images. At 6 inches for consumption.... my best guess would be Strombus Gigas or "Queen Conch". I have a tiger conch myself and I like it. Mine splits its time both on top of the sand and burrowing in the sand.

    Acropora Help

    I am running MH 10 K and T5 420/460 totalling slighly over 4 watts per gallon. I did not acclimate this coral properly for light. I was concerned that the acclimation may have been a problem. Also, I actually thought I may have had too much flow. Originally I had a powerhead hitting it...

    Acropora Help

    I have a pink Acropora that has not been doing especially well. All my other corals are thriving. The Acro is my only SPS. Nitrates are at about 20. Hermits for whatever reason seem to love the Acro and have been hanging out in the branches. Curiously, this was not always the case, and...
