come on owners, i have seen you guys post before saying how great it is.

For those who own a sea swirl, I know the manufacture states that the swirl rotates every 60 - 90 seconds at 90 degrees. (i have seen statements that they rotate at both 60 and 90 seconds) How long does it take for a full rotate from one side to the other. Are they fast or does it take a good...

mlm, you got the answer for everything :)

Yes, the largest is always the female. I have never heard of them laying their eggs in the sand or cc. they mostly attach the to the side or underbelly of rock. As for the shaking, mine do this all the time. always the male (the smaller one) I believe also that it is part of the mating process...

jackson, I have been having the same problem with my alk. No problems keeping the ph up or steady. I have been using Kent Pro-buffer to try and bring up the alk. Been dosing for about 3 weeks now and not raising it very much. Everything seems to test about the same lines as yours. It is kind of...

That is a pretty interesting article. The only problem is that I have corals from all different parts of the world mixed in the same 55 gallon tank. An acceptable 82 deg would be fine for some but not for others. Not that it would damage or kill them but the may not open and grow correctly. If...

I just got a new 125g twin built in overflw tank. I am moving on up from my hang on 55g tank and i have soooo many ideas on what to do to plum my new tank but can't make up my mind. Does anyone have any pics of their plumbing with these kind of tanks. Just looking for more suggestions. ~naso

What is the lowest height from the water that 250w halides should be. How bout 175w. This will be for a 72 inch 125g reef. I am thinking of only having 2 MH. I will have leftover PC's to compliment the MH's from another tank as well. I need this to know how to modify my current canopy. The...

Your advice has been very helpful in the past. Congrats on becoming the newest shark !!

Here is a wierd one. I am missing one of my two scooters. The only two culprits could be the bubble tip anemone or my huge black brittle star. The star has legs that are about 8 inches long a piece. Its body is about the size of a silver dollar. Do these things attack fish???? The bubble really...

I have had a green bubble tip anemone for about 3 1/2 weeks now. It is taking feeding from me of cut shrimp and baby scallops about twice a week. Problem is, it has decided to take refuge under a rock ledge and gets no light. It seems to open up fine, it is still hosting my 2 percs and eating...

Does anybody happen to have a Kole Tang with either or both a pigmy angel and butterfly. Specificaly a copperband? I heard someone once say that thier Kole would NOT tolerate any butterflys or angels. Thanks

All day every day. Got a T1 at work. :D -zippy fast.

Hey Broomer, good to hear from you again. No, none of the film from the top nor the crud on the bottom gets used or remixed when it is applied to the sump. I do however, have a large buildup of ditritus in the bottom of the sump. Got some large hermits in the sump to eat everything possible but...

Well as far as the "trace" for amonia goes, everyone will always have a "trace" of amonia. For over a year I have always had a trace in my reef. The only changes that have occured were an addition of about 10 pounds of southdown over a 3 day period, 1 or 2 new coral frags. I do about a 7 gallon...

What I was looking to do was center the MH (length and width of the canopy) and place one 36" 96w PC front left and the other 36" 96w PC back right. that should illuminate the entire tank quite nicely. Ya think???

I have your standard 55 gallon 48"x13"x21" tank. Currently I've got 2 96w PC and 1 65w PC. I am thinking of changing to MH. I understand that you should have 1 MH for each 2'x 2' area. I am looking at the 175w 55K retro kit, ballast, bulb, reflector, socket, etc for $165. For this size tank, if...
