Sonny, I think Ice Cap is the answer at this point. My ballast is shot so I am going to order an Ice Cap this weekend! Thanks.

I had a lot of aptasias in my tank - over 60 of those creatures to be exact. I went nuts ans did a lot of research. In my opinion, the safest way is putting peppermint shrimps in your tank. If the aptasia is too big, you may want to shoot them with some kalk mixed in water. I did both and...

The lights are brand spanking new. I checked all connections and they seem to be fine. As far as the ballast goes, it is pretty old but I wouln't know how to check it. Maybe if I go to home depot, they will tell me how to troubleshoot it.

I have an Oceanic - 200 gal. and the dimmensions are 8' x 2' x 2'. This makes a good proportionate tank! I recommend that you get a tank with as much depth as possible. Specially, if you are going to set it up as a reef tank.

Boomer - I have crushed coral (1/2 in. to 1 in.)in the bottom of the tank for aesthetic looks only. No LSB or plenum. I am not completely sold on this type of filtration system yet. Furthermore, I clean my crushed coral every time I do a water change!

I had a very similar problem; my starfish ate all my peppermint shrimps, lawnmower blenny, cleaner shrimps, and the yellowhead. That's when I decided to take the whole thing apart and take the darn thing out. I had to hand feed her every day or else! So, if yours is that aggressive I...

Where are you in TX. I know a person who has an Oceanic 200 gallons. It is reef ready and in good condition.

I need a new skimmer. I am considering to get an Aqua C EV200 or a Marine Precision Bullet 2. Besides being efficient, it needs to be very quite. I don't want to cut any corners this time. By the way this skimmers is going in my 200 gal. reef tank.

Guys, that is a great idea; do you think the good old frisge will do the trick on my 200 gal. tank. I need to take action soon; it is already getting hot in TX.

Thanks for the information. I will look into it.
