    Stinging Anemones

    The only reason an anemone would sting is if the fish or inverts were to swim into it or if food was to come near. the fish and inverts should know it is and anemone and will stay away I do not know about the brain so good luck. Adam

    cost of live rock

    I would just buy the live rock nearest you. Heck my dealer sells it for $9.87 per pound. Do not soak your lr in tap water but what you should do is when you bring it home put it in a pan filled with pre mixed salt water and scrub it with an old toothbrush and a brand new stiff paint brush to get...

    over heating

    Indy. Yes there is a problem with the high temp. I read that the higher the temp the more active the fish get and their live span decreases. Also the fish will concume more food even though you should feed them less. I do not know if this affects inverts but I want my tank to stay at below 80...

    Yes my heater is unplugged and not even in the tank. We do not have a fan that reaches the top of the tank it is to tall. I have been using big tubs and soda bottles of frozen water and that only helps with two degrees. I have almost to much water movement for the fish and I have about 30...

Currently have three 55 watt ones working and when those went I wanted to get something better maybe 65 watt or 96 watt would be nice but no the stupid company made it for a max of 55 watt bulbs.

    Lr placement

    How do some of you have your lr set up in your tanks? My rock is currently doing a balancing act in the center on top of two chuncks of base rock. The reason it is like this is because I read that the rock should have a space big enough for your hand all the way around for access to the glass...

    DIY skimmers

    How would you go about making your own skimmer? Would a home made be as effective a maybe a berlin or other skimmers? Is it worth building one or should I spend the money and buy a new one? One last question is it guarenteed to last? Adam

    Jelly Fish

    You would have to set up a specialized tank for them that has lots of floating room not to much current and nothing they can get caught on or sucked into. I read an article that it was either the Japanese or the Chinese were keeping them as pets. IMO they are the most boring creatures on earth...
