I bought 2 tank raised perc clowns from a lfs and the next day, one of them has little white pimple looking things on it. I called the LFS owner. He told me that my tank salinity (S.G. 1.024) was too high and that is what gave them ICH. . . . These are the first and only fishes after the...

How big are your drains? A one inch bulkhead is rated around 600 gph. Even 2 of these wouldn't keep up with that pump. That might explain the ghetto. . . Any plumbing you add, including 90's and 45's, will lower your flow rate. I'm sure the SCWD would as well--not sure how much. You could...

Cleaning crew is very busy. SWF.com sent me some nice looking critters. I lost one cerith snail(add on) and one red leg crab died after 1 day in the tank, but everyone else seems to be fine! Coral banded shrimp is AWSOME!

If you existing hood has 24" bulbs, you can get different color spectrum bulbs for it also. Maybe your bulbs just need to be replaced. They lose their color after 1 year or so. . .

You may be able to stuff a $10.00 shop light under your hood/canopy. OR TWO. I'm not sure how much more light you need for just coraline but normal output (40 watt/ 48") flourescents of the right color spectrum should do it.

There are some well traveled snails and crabs on their way to my house!! I ordered the "in the mix" Reef package from SWF.com. I can't wait to see my very expensive live rock uncovered from the funk that has accumulated during the cycle. I will post pics ASAP. Does anyone have any tips on these...

I know there are several tests you need for salt that are not in a fresh water kit, however my amonia, nitrite, and ph tests (i have a lo and high range ph test) seem to work on either salt or fresh. Does this sound accurate?

DON'T PULL THE FEEDING TUBE OUT!!!!!!! I'm not a Dr. but . . . .give it a chance. You just have a little brain damage. . . (I know this was tastless--sorry)

I think you're just showing off. . . . . .but if you got it - flaunt it! Great pics. Cool setup. I know a lot of folks here are all about the coral, and I really like them too. BUT- I would miss seeing the fishes in my tank. I like the different little critters too. AWSOME!!

I agree with the power inverter idea. Another source you may not have thought of is your favorite auto parts store. I bought one there that will carry 400watts for $30.00. That will move a lot of water and run a little light. (or run most all of my VHO's) Your tank heaters are probably...

THANKS for the info, Joe! I really would like to have some baby clowns in the tank. I also have a 75g. My first 2 "visible" inhabitants after the cycle are Clowns. (Got them 4/24/05) Appreciate you sharing your experience!

I think we need to call in PETA.

Sorry about your Clowntrigger, Bill. You may want to check your water parameters. In your line of work, you've seen cause and effect. I have a pony right now that has sore feet (too much grain-hooves too long and yes we called a professional). The sore feet make her feel miserable all over...

I'm showing my green horns here but, how do you keep them in the main tank without them becoming dinner? Do the babies get rotifers? or what to eat?

I've read that in a refugium you can grow some AWSOME tang food that will also help filter your water. Gracilaria? Nice tank, Sir.

Joe, How big is your breeding tank?? Any tips for a wanna be clown fish breeder?

Either Bang defies gravity or Bang gets a bigger house. NICE TANK. They know you by name at the plumbing aisle, don't they?

Your wife must be very understanding. Righteous tank! I'm guessing you can put a pretty big shark in there, so what and how much do ya feed JAWS?????

..........calm down........... ....breath in through your nose..... ........out through your mouth....... ......go to your happy place........ RELAX you've come to the right place. (and leave the donkeys out of this.)

Thanks for the run down on the fuge/sump setup. Also, the address was helpful. Sometimes it is hard to find what your looking for on the net because there is so MUCH info.
