    Tiling my fish room... PLEASE HELP, my contractor is an idiot (I think)

    My contractor has put the fear of god in me today... I was told that an area rug can't go over a freshly tiled room for 6 months, never heard of this before. So with that, I asked, "Well, what about my fish tanks?" And he basically gave me this look as if to say, "Yeah, have fun with that...

    Lionfish ID and Info about Dwarfs

    I don't know very much about lionfish when it comes to identifying one species from the next, but we're in the very early stages of planning a FOWLR or Aggressive tank (if you can really call a lion aggressive) and like this particular fish. I'm not sure if it's just the lighting that's throwing...

    Compiling my 180 stocklist... suggestions?

    The time has finally come, the house is just about ready and I can start cycling my 180. Some of the fish from the 155 will be moving over to the 180, whatever doesn't get moved will go in a different tank or go to a good home as my friend has a fishless reef. Definitely going in the 180: Purple...

    My clownfish spawned again, and this time I got to see it.

    Just walked in the door from work and as I was examining my tank, my clownfish spawned, right in front of me. SOOO COOL. Sorry I had to share. I wish I had been able to video it.

    Issues with replying to threads

    I think this has been brought up before, this used to only happen to me once in a while, now it's constant. Every time I go to reply to a thread, once I click submit, it tells me that I must submit something (enter text) before replying, even though the text is in the reply box. I have to copy...

    Sailfin Tang is destroying my coral!

    I have found the culprit that is eating my corals lately. Here I'm all ready to banish my Flame Angel and it's the damn Sailfin Tang! I caught her literally ripping apart my duncan and tunicates last night. This was Miss Attitude's last chance in my tank. So now the question, how do I catch her...

    ID

    I know I'm going to feel like an idiot once this is correctly identified, but I can't figure out what it is. It is not a favia, as it is soft, almost sponge-like to the touch. I was told it was a "Mayor's Coral", but I can not find any info on it. I honsetly bought this piece because it's got...

    Where are the moderators?

    I am asking this on behalf of quite a few members on the board that are getting frustrated lately with what we refer to as "trolls". There are a few people that are just destroying threads lately with nonsense and aggrivating so many of us. They have many people on edge on being a little harsher...

    Opinions needed about LED lighting fixture ASAP

    I am currently running 250watt metal halides (3 of them) moguls on my 155, 30" high tank. The heat from these and our electic bill is getting out of hand, so I'm going to be moving my SPS into a different tank with a halide setup and put my 72" Aqualight 3x150watt HQI's back on this tank. I will...

    Ich treatment for time being until QT can be done....

    Somehow, even with quarantining all fish and then dipping them before they go in the 155, I still have ich in my tank There is just absolutely no way for me to quarantine all of my fish in this system at once, so here is my plan: I have a 180G waiting to be set up whenever my house is finally...

    BTLDreef got two new Orange Spotted Filefish!!!!!!

    I have two males for now. Still waiting on females. They're much healthier looking than my last one, so we'll see where this goes. For the first time in my life I made a saltwater purcahse sight unseen, and I'm fairly happy with the outcome. I had a LFS near me that I trust go and purchase some...

    Help with my 180G Reef Stocklist

    As soon as our house is done and we can move in, which should be no later than Oct. 15 (so they say), we will be upgrading the 155 into a 180. The tank will be a mixed reef, SPS, LPS, some softies, anemones, clams, basically a bigger, neater version of my 155 for anyone that has followed that...

    Rights of the Media?

    Tonight I had explosives set off on my front lawn at 2am and my car tampered with. I blame the media, here's why.   A little unknown fact that I'll now have to share with you all so that you know why I blame the media: How many of you have heard of the "Patchogue 7", referring to the seven...

    Just a thought I had this morning...

    I'm just curious, We all yell at each other for posting links to competitor sites, etc and the mods are quick at "reminding" people not to do it, yet there are now Ads by Google on every scream advertising competitors sties..... seems a litle odd that's all. %%

Still waiting to get Salifert Kits, but in the mean time, I've purchased another API kit and a SeaChem kit.   So now I have an issue, and I'm leaning towards believing the SeaChem kit since it comes with a reference...
