    Nano Diatom Problem

    I'm having a diatom outbreak in my 20G. Everything is covered in them. Can anyone suggest the best type of CleanUp Crew to combat this, or anything else that I can do. I've tried everything I can think of. I've done weekly WCs, most 20%, but some 50%, but nothing has worked. Please help me if...

    Profile Problem

    Everytime I try to click on a person's profile in a post, it takes me to the SWF.com HomePage. Is there a reason I can't view Profiles anymore?

    Best LFS Story

    Okay, I recently read the post about the Worst LFS Stories, and frankly, I feel sorry for everyone who has LFS like these around them. I have 2 excellent LFS in my area. One, G&M Pet and Garden, has the most educated sales staff I know of. Any purchase cannot be made until they have asked 5...

    Just got 20 gallon...

    All, or maybe I should say most, fish species are hermaphroditic. They all begin, like jwtrojan44 said, as males, and morph as they need to into females. When they are born in the ocean, they travel until they find a host anemone with a family of their species. If one is accepted, it becomes a...

    moral question...

    I agree with CrabbyPants. If you see a LFS like this, report it. We have one in Muncie that was just horrible. So, what happened? He was reported, fined big bucks, and it took him forever to get his license back. PS CrabbyPants, have you been to any of the Indy *****'s? If any LFS chain should...

    ever crushed your blue tang?

    One time I was cleaning my 75G, and since it was without any corals I had decided to move around the LR to get it all clean, and to give it a new look. Well, after it was all said and done, I went up to bed. The next morning I woke up and went down to turn on the lights and check out the tank...

    Stop Dying Damsels

    It seems to me that your problem stems strictly from a stressful environment. Using Damsels to cycle your tank is always a very stressful event for said Damsels, and the layout/setup of your tank doesn't seem to help, IMHO. During the cycling process, the fish prefer to hide and in your tank...

    Metal Halide Lights

    To tell you the truth, I'm not sure anymore what type of bulb it is. I believe I read somewhere that it was German-made bulb, but I'm not sure where, if, I read it anywhere.

    Metal Halide Lights

    If you want a good bulb that will last you a long time, has great color, and is cheap, then get the Xanium 15K bulb. It is German-made, and a 400W MH bulb is only $65 right now. That is really cheap! I tried one out and won't use anything but. It's a perfect bulb, plus, because of the Kelvin...

    Mr. Bubbles Is Back!

    How do I know, because his name is down below, and yes, I do know that it is his name. I read it before it got posted on that site. He IMs me every once in awhile, and personally I think he deserves another chance, but that's just me.

    Mr. Bubbles Is Back!

    As most everyone knows who Mr. Bubbles is/was, I will not go far into the story of his time here, but thought everyone would like to know that he recently wrote an article on Setting Up and Maintaining a Reef Tank. Just thought I would let everyone know.

    My 2 gallon just finished cycling

    They're not products, just BBs, and IMO it would be leading members away.

    My 2 gallon just finished cycling

    The tanks are on another board I will not mention out of respect for SWF.com, but there are two Nano's that I believe will blow everyone out of the water. There is a 7 Gallon Nano located in Brazil that uses only top-off water as filtration, and is full of beautiful SPS. There is also a 1oz tank...

    Mantis shrimp killing everything?

    As stated above, most have luck with a carbonated beverage, and IMO/IME Selzter works the best. GL

    New Addition

    Some of you may know my setup, some may not, so I'll describe it. I have a 20H, 60 lbs LS, 40 lbs LR, Weir Overflow, Custom Sump, MagDrive7 as return pump, and a SeaClone100. I've been having problems keeping the fine-grain sand of the rocks due to the very high circulation, so I now have a...
