I need some advice. I have a 55g non drilled tank. Been running for 9 weeks. Went slow at first like I should. I placed about a two inch live sand bed. Placed about 50 pounds of live rock. Bought a clown the second week. Next week bought a six-line wrasse. Two weeks later placed a...

would like the hang on refug. E-mail me at jsab@maysvilleky.net John

I can't tell you how helpful a skimmer is. Didn't believe it till I got one. It pulls out the nastiest brown scum you ever saw. I think it is a very worthwhile investment. I too have a 55 but not drilled. Mine is a hang on model...Loud at first until I got it through its break in period and...

I would be willing to meet you in Cincy if you have some stars left. E-mail me john jsab@maysvilleky.net

I would love some. I am in Maysville and could meet closer to Cincinnatti if needed. E-mail me at jsab@maysvilleky.net thanks

Great, I thought it might work, but I didn't want to ask for trouble. Thanks

I have two emeralds with a sally lightfoot and never have they been aggresive in any way. I too have shrooms and polyps and they don't bother it. Although, one of them loves the big leather. He sometimes spends all day in there.

I bought a nice dwarf yellow feather duster from lfs yesterday, only to see it doesn't come out of its tube very well. Can I trim the ends of the tube so it can come out fully instead of only coming out on the side? I haven't tried yet, just wanted to get some opinions. TIA

I was wondering what you thought about placing my skimmer on a timer. I thought since I was adding calcium and phytoplankton to my tank during the day, it would give the corals some time to extract them. I guess my question is would it hurt to only run it at night when the light is off. And...

Purchased this coral at my LFS last week and can't remember the name, and it's not on the receipt! During daylight it's tentacles extend 2-3 inches and are yellowish, and in the dark it retracts completely and is a green ball. Included a pic of my 55 gallon tank for perspective, it is on the...

so the base rock was in a tank? the base rock our lfs sells is just on the shelf and we had to rinse it when we got home with de-chlorinated water and then added it straight into the tank. the only thing it has growing on it currently is brown algae, LOL. of course it is only 2 wks old. we...

I will double check that it is fully cured - the lr we bought before we bought the same day as our first 3 fish - a maroon clown, a chalk basslet, and a velvet damsel. They all thrived but the damsel died unexpectedly 5 days later. The clown and basslet are still alive (2 wks).

wow, that's cool about the super glue. so it is okay to have the coral out of the water for that time? what if you don't use glue or anything? will it attach on its own given time?

I would go with a good shrimp, too. What type of food are you feeding? Only put in a touch at a time, enough so the two fish can eat it all before it falls to the bottom. We have 3 fish and I will literally put 4 brine shrimp at a time, or 2 or 3 granules, etc. If some food gets past the...

No, no, I appreciate all your input. The lr we currently have we bought at the lfs an hour away. It was totally cured and was packaged in some tank water bagged and then in a box. Traveled fine and we placed it right in the tank and all is good. I went ahead and requested to cancel the lr...

OK just placed an order here with SWF for an RO, test kit, etc as well as more LIVE ROCK!

The tank has been up for a little over two weeks. We have a pet store about an hour from us that sells live rock. We can get some there. We are using tap water. Considering the investment of an RO system, but wasn't sure. The more I read the boards, the more I learn and realize that I need...

We have a live sand bed. We placed about 15 pounds of live cured rock with about 30 pounds of base rock. We would like more live rock, but don't have a curing place. We just got our first two polyps yesterday in very nice condition and am pleased with them. Our brown algae is becoming...
