There is absolutly nothing wrong with cycling your tank with live rock. It will actually help the process. You can start the cycle with a piece of raw shrimp as well. This is recommended over using damsels. HTH

I would say make it a quaritine tank (hospital) it will save you alot of money in the long run. I would not recommend making it into a hospital/refugium as one. For one if you have a fish come down with some sort of disease and need to treat it with meds you dont want that affecting your...

Hello Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has had their Hawkfish go completely crazy. My Falcos has been in my tank for about 6 months. He has been fine not bothering or harrassing anyone. But in the past week he has just gone crazy, chasing everyone, picking on my Sallylightfoot, and my...

Sounds like they are bristle worms and yes they are good to have. Some people have varying opinions about them, some like them some dont. HTH

Ok I had my father-in-law use his meter to run some checks. I am getting juice to the one side just not as much as the other. He also checked the continuity of the wires and that checked out. I forgot to mention this PC ballast does not have two on/off switches it only has one. So I hooked the...

Hey guys thanks for the suggestions. I already have the VHO I am just going to purchase the MH. I am going to purchase a PFO MH retro with bulb, ballast, and reflector from my LFS in Seattle. My tank is only 36" long do you think I still need 2 175 MH. Thanks Again.

Ok after much consideration. I am going to build a canopy to add a 175w MH with 2 95w VHO. My question is before I start this project. How many fans should I run 2 or 4? Also do you think I will need a chiller? And if so I think I may have to wait on the MH because chillers are not cheap. But...

As far as inverts go "Invertabrates a Quick Reference Guide" by Julian Sprung is good. "A Practical Guide to Corals" by Ed Puterbaugh and Eric Borneman is good as well as "Corals a Quick Reference Guide" by Julian Sprung. HTH

A Bicolor Dottyback looks similar to a Royal Gramma.

Well I have put in about 1800-2300 into my 45 gallon reef. As for you Mike S it is very amazing that you have spent 9000 on your tank and all. You say your dad has bought it all but yet you cant afford a digital camera. The reason I say this is a month or so ago you said I cant afford a digital...

I have a question. One side of my 2X96 w Hamilton Tech PC went out. I bought a new endcap and it still does not work. The ballast is about 1 year old so I dont think it should have gone out yet. Any thoughts on what might be wrong.

I have had a Cleaner and CBS together for 8 months now and they get along fine. But there are always exceptions to the rule...

I am building a new canopy for my tank and I have a couple of questions. I will be running 6 95w VHO. Would 8 inches high be high enough. I will also be adding fans. The question about the fans would be how many should I run 2 or 4? If only 2 do I run them from the same side or on oppisite...

I have a Falcos Hawkfish with a Cleaner and CBS with no problems yet. But there are always exceptions to the rule.

I am from the great and beautiful state of Alaska. :)

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever kept a Carpenters Wrasse before. I have read they are very hardy fish and they are very beautiful fish. Here are the questions I have I have read they Falco Hawkfish will bother them for what reason I am not sure. My Falco is pretty laid back...

Wow I guess you learn something new everyday. I still dont think I would use bleach, but thats just me.

I agree with what everyone else had to say about dumping out everything and starting all over. The one thing I do not agree with is using bleach to clean any of your equipment. I have never heard of anyone using bleach to clean any of there aquarium equipment especially your filters rocks or...
