    Need Quick Help...

    They are both about 4 inches. The aggression has let up quite a bit but the bf is not eating. I've tried algae pellets, Thera A+A, Cyclopes, and Krill with no success. Any suggestions? It's now been 5 days.

    Need Quick Help...

    I have in the tank a Koran Angel. I just added a copper banded butterfly and the angel is harassing the crap out of the butterfly. Should I allow this to continue or intervene. I have a 90Gal with plenty of rockwork. Should I separate them immediately or will this cease?

    BTA Sick, I think

    Had a BTA about three weeks (from SWF.) Had been doing great, blown up HUGE (thanks SWF for such a big one!). Normal cycle of closed up at night and blown up during the day. Planted itself in the first 24 hours. I have a Sunpod (two 150W MH, 14k). Three days ago, it moved into a small cave I...

    New fish this week, one missing

    Got some new fish this week. I added a Koran Angel, 4 Engineer Goby's, a BTA, and a baby gold striped clown. I'm down to 3 engineer gobys. I don't know where the 4th is. He has appeared momentarily in the morning every morning since I got the four of them. Is normal for the engineer goby? How...

    Received my SWF Order today....questions.

    It's a 90 gal tank. It's about 7 months old. I got a 20-55 reef kit because I don't have much in my tank. Up until today, I had a cleaner and CB Shrimp and a lawnmower blennie. Earlier this week I added a refugium. Today I added the reef pkg, a Koran Angel, a bubble tip anemone, a gold banded...

    Received my SWF Order today....questions.

    I got a whole bag of 20 of them. How am I supposed to poke them to see if they move?

    Received my SWF Order today....questions.

    Got my SWF order today. Ordered it Sunday....they must be busy. Out of the box...this fish I was looking most forward to, my Blue Hippo Tang, was D.O.A.. Everthing else is fine, I think. My question is this. I got a reef package. I acclimated properly. The snails are not moving and the crabs...

    Where in GA are you? I'm in Savannah. I'd love to see what you're doing.

    36" Dual 150W MH Sunpod for 90 Gal and more.

    Per my pictures, I have a wet/dry system under my drilled tank. My goal is to add another tank where I can grow microalgae to help combat nitrates. I have an extra 16gal bowfront that I wanted to use, maybe cut some plexiglass to make some baffels as I've seen others do and somehow get some flow...

    36" Dual 150W MH Sunpod for 90 Gal and more.

    So what you're saying is that 16gal won't do crap for my 90gal tank. I was kinda thinking that, but I want some thoughts from you all.

    36" Dual 150W MH Sunpod for 90 Gal and more.

    I like it. It's been 7 months and I'm ready to start 'really' stocking it. I just want to make sure the lighting I'm getting will be sufficient. I also want to turn a 16gal tank I have into a fuge. Any thoughts?

    16 Gal Fuge for 90 Gal Tank

    I want to put the 16 gal the same height to left of my tank and somehow make a refugium out of it. If I'm crazy, tell me, I won't try it. What do I need to pull water from my tank into the 16 gal and then get it back into my tank. What sort of sand/plants do I need to make a good fuge?

    36" Dual 150W MH Sunpod for 90 Gal and more.

    I've got plenty of airflow in my hood. The back is completely open and the top has a slot in it. I thought the sunpods were supposed to run cool. I got the fixture as a 45 day old demo tank unit. I thought 250 was a great deal. Apparently I was right.

    16 Gal Fuge for 90 Gal Tank

    I have a 16gal tank w/lighting, filters, skimmer just sitting empty. I've got a 90 gal tank, drilled, wet/dry with NO room underneath for anything else. Could I put the 16gal tank on a stand next to my 90 and somehow turn it into a fuge to combat nitrates. Where would I get started and what do I...

    36" Dual 150W MH Sunpod for 90 Gal and more.

    Would it be okay to just take off my class tops and retrofit the enclosure into my tank hood? Back to my original questions also.

    36" Dual 150W MH Sunpod for 90 Gal and more.

    You're absolutely correct. My 90 is 48" wide. The PC's I have are 36" wide with a custom PVC stand I created for it to sit on my glass tops. I plan on doing the same thing with the new 36" MH Sunpod when I get it. Good question!

    36" Dual 150W MH Sunpod for 90 Gal and more.

    I got a great deal on a 36" Dual 150 MH Sunpod. I only paid $250 (45 days old). It should be here Wednesday. From what little I could find, these run pretty cool. Can anyone confirm? I have a standard size 90 gal tank with 80 lbs LS and 100 lbs LR. I'm running a sump w/ a Berlin Protein skimmer...
