K- In my opinion, don't get the bulelines. That is what I am replacing. IMO I did not like them. They are way to blue. They are more like a blue/blueishwhite than a blue/white. The ones I am replacing are only 7 months old and I was told that after 1 month, they should get a little whiter. BS...

Here's the deal. I wa browsing through a web vendors page and ordered what I was under the impression175w 10k german bulbs. On most of their packages, these bulbs were referred to as the Ushio bulbs. I got them 2nd day air delivered and came home early from work to install them. When I opened...

Tell you what, even if you don't use them for feeders, ghost shrimp are pretty neat creatures.

Go to petsmart or pet co. and get a aquarium systems tap water purifier for about 30 bucks. refill cartridges are only about 17 bucks. depending on the quality of your tap water, you should be able to get a minimum of 50 gallons from one cartridge. For buckets or containers, find a spring water...

Anemone's do not host to hawkfish, only clowns. You may want to watch out for the cleaner shrimp though. Hawks are known to go after smaller inverts like that.

All stonys are at the top of the tank and have always been. All about 3-5 inches from water line. Have had no bleaching problems.

I guess the subject says it all. What makes stonys like acro go brown. I have a few blue tips and other supposedly bright colored acros, but they won't show their true color? I have a 55g with dual 175w blueline mh's, 1 96w 8k pc, 1 96w blue actinic pc and a 65w blue pc. Lights are approx 7...

No glass for me either. Open top w/ canopy.

Very nice Slothy :D

bump Sorry guys!

I understand that saltwaterfish.com sells this and other sealife skimmers. Has anyone used this or one of them? I would like some feed back from people who have used this skimmer line, if any. Thanks all

125 gallon dual overflow with stand and canopy. Slightly used, unfortunatley, not by me. I purchased it from my local fish store 3 months ago. They had it for sale from a service client who needed to move. In complete beautiful shape with no scratches or chips. Standard size tank, light pine...

Anyone know where one can purchase acrylic sheets to construct a sump?

I just purchased the aquarium pharm. tapwater filter and was curious if it really removes COPPER. Also, can I directly connect this unit from a brass valve on a copper pipe. It states that it makes "perfect deionized water" that is good for use for water top off and changes. I know it is not a...

Hey quazi, where in Sterling are you? Anywhere near the Countyside area?

Those linkias are hard to keep. I have gone through 2 blues and a n orange with no luck. It is a sad case to see what happens to them when they start going. For the neat stars, I have moved to the red fromia stars. I have 3 of them. They don't get all that large, about 2.5 inches at most I...

Plexiglass sheets should work fine. you may need to custom cut some. I believe that you may be able to find some of the glass covers from some online stores. If you have a standard tank with a middle brace, they do sell folding glass covers.

Well, I followed the link from the post that jacksonpt provided. There, he only has a 44 gallon and a soon to be 75 gallon. I don't know where the pictures of those fish came from. Maybe it is a different link to somewhere else/

If you are not planning on keeping any corals, just fish and live rock, it really shouldn't matter. With metal halides, the norm is usually 8 - 10 inches. I have kept pc lights just under 4 - 6 inches above the water line. The real thing you need to worry about is water splash on the hot bulbs...
