About two weeks ago, I swapped out the old Rio on my BakPak with a MJ-1200 w/ the venturi kit on it. Supposedly this is supposed to be a significant improvement over the Rio . . . CPR has actually started selling them with the MJ as opposed to the Rio now. Well, after two weeks I have...

Well, after three years - yes THREE - I finally swapped out the pump on my Bak Pak skimmer. I was still using the ORIGINAL Rio 600RVT ( :eek: ) that came with it until today. I finally switched it over to a Maxi-Jet 1200 with the venturi kit . . . . WOW what a difference! It is still throwing...

Anyone got any pics of an all shroom tank? I really hate mushrooms, but its just because of their rabid propensity to spread and kill everything in their path . . . but if they were in a tank by themselves, no harm done! There are so many morphs I think it would make for a very pretty (and...

RANDY HOLMES-FARLEY, Ph.D. This additive system will be balanced in that equal addition of the two parts will provide calcium and alkalinity in approximately the same ratio as used in calcification by corals and coralline algae. In that sense, it is the same as the commercial two-part additives...

How big do serpent stars get? I have one in my 22 reef thats been there for at least two years now and I got a chance to measure him from tip to tip last night when the lights were off . . . 8"!!! Is this fully grown? He is pretty healthy I believe, he hides during the day, and runs from my...

I'd like to get a nice set of darts . . . but don't know where to start. What should I look for and where?

Do you clean your tank when company is coming over? Everytime I am having guests over, I always make sure the tank is spotless. I clean the glass, inside and out. I remove any and all hair algae, clean the powerheads, etc. Anyone else this neurotic?

Start with a little of this . . .

If I had to set up my tank all over again, I would (or would not) . . . .

Anyone know how big these things usually are?

I am in the planning phase of my new up and coming SPS reef and have decided to go with a remote sandbed in the fuge. The display tank is going to be a starboard bottom, and the thought crossed my mind to glue some zoanthids on the bottom and let em spread along the starboard. What problems do...
