Today I received a small White Pom Pom Xenia and just finished acclimating and such but my question is about the "rock" that the Xenia came on... it's kind of this ugly Pink, Perfectly square thing that looks way out of place in my tank... Should I, or can I move the Xenia somehow off this ugly...

I do have the center brace, which is a couple inches across that is under the Egg Crate as well... I've had it this way since I've posted and so far, so good... and the light is brighter and I can tell my Corals like the extra light better as well... SW2

I have a 46 Gal Bow with 2 O.Clowns, 1 Flame Angel, 1 Royal Gramma and 3 Blue/Green Chromis. I've been feeding a Combo of Formula One and Two Flakes and Hikari Marine S Pellets and Frozen Mysis and Brine Shrimp...I also have some of Red Flaky Cycopleeze? (exact name eludes me right now) that I...

I tried to add a feather duster a few weeks ago, and it jumped out of it's tube after about 1 day and subsequently became food for my cleanup crew... :mad: See Pics here: https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=218558 Anyhow, I've ordered another and want to give it another go. Any...

Is it OK if I just set my lights on top of my tank if I have the Egg Crate on there? It's a 36" Coralife Lunar Aqualight 1x96w Daylight and 1x96w Actinic on 46 Gal Bowfront... I just installed the Egg Crate and it seems brighter if I take the legs off, but want to make sure I won't melt the Egg...

I don't mean to Hijack...but I too had a new Golden Head Goby that decided to Carpet Surf after like 3 days... so I picked up some of the Egg Crate at Home Depot... My question is... is there a right side up or down? I can tell that it blocks some light from my 36" CF setup ..I just want to...

... and subsequently got eaten by my cleanup crew... Was a new SWF.com Order which arrived Friday.. drip acclimated for 3 hrs in 79F 1.025 SG, "very good" Water Quality... must have just been too stressfull of a trip... this was my first feather duster... To add insult to injury, I found the...

Originally Posted by A&M Aggie 04' just making sure it wasnt hair algae you were talking about. That certainly could be due to natural light hitting your tank but its not a big problem. You could add some alk buffer to slightly raise your ALK...I use baked baking soda to raise mine. How much...

Mostly Glass... but also on powerheads, skimmer pump, etc... fairly bright green, and not terribly "hairy"... I think a few of my snails that had been munching pretty well on it may have become Hermit Dinners, so I think I need to restock my cleaning crew with a few more snails... Here are a...

I still consider myself a SW Newbie having just setup my tank in January... I had been lax on my water testing over the past few weeks and had time today (not working today, thanks to all American Service men and women, past and present ) and decided to run all the Salifert tests that I...

I've had 2 Emerald Crabs now for about 2 months or so... I see them hiding out in the rocks picking every now and again, but days go by and I don't see them at all... THEN, tonight, as I'm rocking one of my twin girls to sleep, I look down and see this... and had to grab the camera (and needless...

I added 3 new Peppermint Shrimp to my tank the night before last (Tuesday), drip acclimated for about 2 hours, and they seemed lively and moving arround when I placed them in the tank... I havn't seen "hind nor hair" of them since.... Are they "nocternal" so I need to look after "lights out", or...

I was originally planning on going FOWLR in my 46 Gal Bowfront (first SW Tank) and I think have a good start at that with 80 lbs LR, 50 lbs Live Sand... a Cleaning Crew, Blue/Green Chromis' and 2 O.Clowns. My tank has been up and running now for going on 2 months (fairly short cycle with Cured...

I just went the "Ghetto" route and used black Zipties to connect the pieces together and between the 4-5 pieces there is enough weight to keep the little QT Condo at the bottom of the QT Tank..... SW2

Originally Posted by Phixer Sorry for the vague description, let me clarify it. Fill the PVC with sand if it floats around this will weigh it down. Seal the sand in when you glue the PVC together. Ok, so I am either kinda slow or something... I thought you wanted the PVC "Open" so the fish...

Originally Posted by Phixer Fill them with sand. Glue them with PVC cement, put them in the tank when dry. Sand? Per some direction on here, I wan't planning on any sand or Live Rock in the QT Tank... I'm sure I can pick up some PVC Cement tomorrow and put the pieces together into a little QT...

Ok, I have a dumb question... I'm setting up a 25 Gal QT tank and I bought some PVC Elbow Pipe to toss in there... Anyhow, the PVC Floats and moves arround with the current and stuff from the powerheads.... Can I use some type of Super Glue Gel or PVC Glue or Hot Melt Glue to glue a few pieces...
