    HELP Yellow Tang won't eat.

    Did the water change, gave him a new clip of seaweed and he never went near it. He looks great, picks on the rock but I can't believe he is getting enough to eat just from the rocks. I will keep an eye on him and tonight. I will also soak his food in garlic.

    HELP Yellow Tang won't eat.

    Nebody from CT?

    Megadon, wow I should have gone inside the place. It was closed when I drove by I just read his sign and his ad in the paper. I will go back this weekend and see if he is open. It would be great if they have lots of tanks.

    Nebody from CT?

    Megadon,I drove past his place last summer. He installs ponds and high end tanks. He did not stock anything. He could order anything I wanted but so can I and I can get better prices. Just like if we pooled an order from here.;)

    Powerhead Timer?

    you could do it if you want, your little friends don't need it to be happy. Be careful I have hagen 802 powerheads that I hooked up to a Red Sea wave maker (fancy time clock) and the starting and stoping wore out the impellers really fast. I have been told that Maxi-jet powerheads are the only...

    Help With Powerheads Please

    No they did not all fail at once. The impellers have gone bad from all the starting and stoping. The fact is I did not get a year out of them and to replace the impellers will cost more than half of what new powerheads cost. Thats why I need a powerhead that will handle the starts and stops.

    Grey spots in my DSB?

    Do you have live rock? are you using Kalkwasser? I have been told that if you use too much the mixture will seperate out of the water and form hard spots in the sand. Just a quess, I am sure someone else will know the answer.

    Moving Reef tank

    I think if you have the ability to move everything into another tank and start over you should. Yes I know that it will set you back months while your tank cycles, but look at it this way. You can correct anything that you think you did wrong, while still keeping everything you have alive in the...
