    Hippo Tang scraping its head on Rock...

    There are tons of caves and bigger hiding places, but he seems to have found a hole in the back of a piece of rock and claimed it as home

    Hippo Tang scraping its head on Rock...

    My 1" Hippo tang has been sleeping inside a crevice in my LR since I have gotten him, but he is starting to outgrow the hole and the last couple of days he can not get into the hole without causing 2 fairly large scrapes above its eyes. I know it is not HLLE and it is a very healthy fish so I...

    Skimmer in sump or H.O.B??

    Yeah, my overflow keeps the water moving as well and there is never a film at the top, I was just wondering if a h.o.b. skimmer would remove more of the junk before it made it to te sump and through the biological filtration? I am just confused right now because with an expensive purchase like...

    Skimmer in sump or H.O.B??

    I'm trying to decide on a protein skimmer right now and am not sure which style to get. I have a 30 gal sump with alot of room but would a H.O.B. skimmer be more efficient since I have read that alot of the junk is at the top of the water? Any help would be appreciated.

    Reef advise for bahamas and key west.

    For the $160 you get the transportation to and from the island via those two speedboats. There are about 20 people on each boat and if you go, I strongly recommend not sitting in the back 2 seats, you will get pelted with water and believe me you will be crusted over with salt, not fun...

    Reef advise for bahamas and key west.

    You definitely should do it, it will be the best $160 you can spend in Nassau. You get to see so much from this trip, I have gone on it each of the 3 times I have been in the Bahamas.

    Reef advise for bahamas and key west.

    When you are in Nassau, try to go to the Exumas, there are a bunch of day excursions and the water is crystal clear there. If you want to take a nice snorkeling trip as well, go with Stuart's Cove, they have a nice snorkel trip for around $50 and you can snorkel with Reef Sharks at the end of...

    HUGE PROBLEM!!!(long)

    I only have about 30 lbs. of LR in the tank and unfortunately I didn't buy it from him. I'm hoping that the small amount of copper treated water (proably more realistic to say 4g) mixed with the 55+ of the tank and sump would be so diluted that it would be easily removed and not cause the LR...

    HUGE PROBLEM!!!(long)

    I need some advice here: I had just added a 30g sump to my 55g tank and the owner from the LFS which I had been going to was nice enough to come over to my place and give me a hand with draining and moving my tank and placing the sump in the stand. NOW, here is the bad part, I had a 5g QT set...

    Help with filter decision

    How's it going? I'm fairly new to this hobby (around 6 months) and am looking to upgrade to a wet/dry very soon. I have a 55g FOWLR (about 50 lbs. right now) and the two filters I am looking at are the Pro-Clear Aquatics 75 Pro and the Amiracle SL-15 hang-on. Any comparisons or...
