    Molting Shrimp?

    My Cleaner Shrimp just molted I think. I found his shell anyway. I'm worried about it because I dont see him anywhere. Is this normal?

    White Flakes?

    Actually the reason Im fairly certain that its not the impeller is because the water comes from the sump through the pump then pushes through an ocean canister filter.

    How do you Frag a Coral?

    I just glued some last night, be carfull doing it underwater--it's tricky cause the glue developes a rapid skin to it. I had best luck putting the glue on the rock underwater then pressing the polyp and leaving it alone. I didn't try putting glue on both peices (that might work better). It...

    130W PC (any luck?)

    I was wondering If anyone has had any luck with these new 130 watt power compact set ups. I think they are fairly new technology--I just put a down payment on a 260 watt dual strip. Oh, BTW I all-ready know that nothing could possibly compare to MH Unless the blinding light of God himself...

    lfs trade

    LoL, I ask my LFS for some names of local reefers so I could trade frags. He says he does'nt know of any but he will trade. Cell phones are a rude but effective way of getting good deals. Call another pet shop and ask for prices and tell them the prices your looking at. I just saved 20 bucks...

    White Flakes?

    Now that I have all the leaks stopped I would rather not start tearing it apart. It's only two months old and I really hope it's not that maintanence intensive. Unless you think it will damage the pump? It's a pretty hardy pump (Iwaki 18.3 gpm). Please tell me that impeller cleaning is not...

    Coral Description (Id Needed)

    Sorry I havent got a picture. I bought a mushroom this weekend and it had something else on the other end of the rock with it. It has a flat stony base (encrusting perhapse) tiny polyps come out of the base they move around a bit and look alot like xenia polyps--only with longer fingers. The...

    Caribsea Argonite w/LiveSand??

    I put a layer of crushed coral, then a layer of agonite, then a layer of fine sand , then a layer of live sand. From what Iv'e read I will probably regret this--I probably should have used all fine sand and live sand. Has something to do with dead spots and polutants. I can see gas bubbles...

    Got everything now! ---- IF I AINT THE DUMBEST PERSON ON THIS SITE!!!

    You can run the return line from the wet/dry right into the overflow for now. You can do this without filling the aquarium (run a flexable hose right down inside it). That way the filter can start cycling right away. Later on figure out what holes your going to run the return line to (if its...

    Got everything now! ---- IF I AINT THE DUMBEST PERSON ON THIS SITE!!!

    The holes in the bottom of my overflow go to the wet dry (or sump). Find a threaded pvc fitting that fits through it and put a rubber washer on it and tighten it on the bottom side. You can also put a stand pipe on the inside of the overflow (mine has prefilter stand pipe). You can run flex...
