Well throwing it away is an option but if you want to keep it go to <a href="http://www.cprusa.com" target="_blank">www.cprusa.com</a> and they will help you with the bubble problem. Though you will never get rid of all the bubbles as these things are bubble machines and I know from personal...

just wanted to say congratulations on doing it right. 8 - 10 weeks without adding any fish, you don't see that much here as most people have killed several fish by the 8 - 10 week mark.

They will need some type of filter feeder food like Phytoplankton. DT's is preferred becasue it is live culture but it's expensive and can be hard to find. Kents phyto plex is fine and available everywhere. There are many many others. Be careful of filter foods like microvert as too much can...

I have one in my 50 gal reef and he is constantly eating algae and moving all around the tank (very visible). He has never bother fish or coral. But I have read numerous posts about these crabs being coral and fish killers. I think most are OK but with all crabs you pay your money and takes your...

do you have a sump on the 55? If not then you need a HOB (hang on the back) skimmer. Prizm (I currently have one) is one of the best low cost skimmers around. Others recomend seaclone but I've never tried one just hear people recomending them. CPR bacpak (I have used this with no real...

Nothing wrong with the CSL light he's trying to sell you but you will still need more lighting for anything other than low light corals. The Watts per gallon rule has lots of problems with it but it is a decent guideline as long as you understand there are more things involved here than how many...

PC lighting has come a long way lately and is very close if not equal to VHO as far as actinic lighting goes. I doubt if either is superior as both have their pluses and minuses. With PC you do get a more intense light, lower power usage, longer bulb life. With VHO you possibly get a better...

Anyone know how to --- these fish? I currently have one and would like another but don't know if I have a male or female and don't want to see a fight to the death if I choose wrong.

50 gal 4 X 55watt PCs 2 10,000k, 2 03 actinic 37 gal 2 X 55watt PCs 1 10,000k, 1 03 actinic

I don't know what they are but I have them also. Mostly on the back wall of my tank. I assumed they were calcium deposits but would like to know for sure, any Sharks out there care to shed some light on this.

8 months in reef keeping, some success, some failure, lots of enjoyment and expense. 3rd year of SW fish definitely easier than reef keeping

I have had a yellow leather (sarcophyton) since August 01 and it has done real well. Lately I have noticed tiny black dots about the size of a pencil point (three or four in a leather about 3"X4"). The leather looks and acts healthy in every other way but I was just wondering if this is a start...

This sounds great but one suggestion I would make is go with the 75. Easier to stabilize a larger tank and the main difference is the width of the tank (front to back distance). much easier to aquascape a 75 as there is an additional 6" or so. I bought a 50 (48X12X18) and find it really tough to...

I've had one for about 8 months now and have only directly fed it once or twice with DT's. I have it placed in an area of high current in front of a PH. The polyps on mine only come out at night usually about 10:00pm when the lights go out. When I first got it the rock had polyps (about 8 total)...

I have the same size 50gal tank you have and currently run 4X55 PC and keep a failrly wide selection of Softies, LPS and even a few SPS without any problems. I would like to have MH to add to this but my canopy is only 6" high and MH bulbs would be something like 2" from the water surface...

This really depends on how much More LR you are going to order. If your adding another 40 - 50lbs of LR then you should probably wait as this much additional rock will cause your tank to cycle again. 20lbs or less additional lr would probably not cause another major cycle and a clean up crew...

like the previous post mentioned another 70 lbs of LR will be perfect. For lights it depends on what you want for corals. Lighting is expensive and you only want to buy lighting once or at least be able to use what you buy if you buy more. decide what corals you want to keep and then choose the...

Do yourself a favor and go ahead and buy some metal halide lights now. What people (including me) normally do is think I will just get PC or VHO and stick with soft corals. But then once you get going you just gotta have those SPS and Clams and you really need MH lighting for those. You can go...

Open Brains don't need alot of light but if your tank is a 55 with that lighting you probably need more light. I have a 50 with 220 PC lighting and curently have two open brains and they are doing great after six months
