I am looking to buy mated pairs (preferably adult/mature fish) of just about any species of clownfish. I have many corals to trade or I will just buy them. Please email me at kline@al.umces.edu if you have some and wouldn't mind getting rid of them, thanks.

I am trying to decide if T-5, VHO, or PC is the best lighting option. I have read that T-5 has the best PAR rating but would a 6x39 watt T-5 light be better than a 4x96 PC or 4x95 VHO? If someone could please reply to this with their opinions I would greatly appreciate the help. My 2 year old...

The place where I work has a green house and in the back there are about 50 400 watt MH pendants and boxes upon boxes of bulbs. The bulbs aren't great, probably plant grow lights. My question is: At the end of the power cord coming from the pendant the plug is round with three pegs in it. Is...

I will be in the DC, Arlington,VA area next week and was wondering if anyone knew of any good LFS in that area that I could visit. I am there for work so I will have some evening time to go and look around in a store or two. Thanks.

Anyone have one of these? I need to know how deep the thing sits behind the tank or how much room I need behind the tank to fit it between the tank and the wall. Thinking about using it for my qt. Thanks in advance.

I got a good look at him this evening. Turns out there are two of them. I guess they are urchins of some kind. If anyone is familiar with them please let me know if I should get them out of my tank or if they are reef safe. thanks Oh, what is the coral in the first photo too? thanks again

Anyone ever used a Maxi-Jet to send water up to a refugium. I don't have a sump and the MAG 5 I bought is very noisy in my tank for some reason. I built a shelf in a closet and went through the wall to it from my display. I am going to get rid of the PVC piping that is in place now and try...

I have a little organism in my tank that looks like a brown disk with many arms coming off of it. Almost looks like a cross between an urchin and a starfish. The arms are too numerous for it to be a starfish and they are only coming off of the outer edge of the disc shaped body so I don't...

I posted this in the New Hobbyist forum earlier. I really need some advice on this so I am posting it here too. I set up a refugium yesterday with PVC plumbing to and from the display. The fuge is in a closet behind the wall that is behind my display. I turned the MAG 5 pump on today and it...

I set up a refugium yesterday with PVC plumbing to and from the display. The fuge is in a closet behind the wall that is behind my display. I turned the MAG 5 pump on today and it seems very loud. I knew I didn't want very much flow through the fuge so I set it up so the out flow went through...

Who is going to win this week. I will watch sadly as my beloved Steelers were awful this year. I like the Rams, Colts, Patriots, and Eagles.

I am going to switch to a DSB (Southdown) and I am also setting up my refugium at the same time. Any "experts" out there want to comment on my plan? -Set up refugium with pipes, pump, and Southdown -Remove live rock and place into rubbermaid container -Drain most of the water from display into...

I am building a fuge and it is going to be located above my display in the closet behind the wall that is behind the tank. My idea is that I don't want very much flow through the fuge. Is that correct? All that will be in it is my skimmer and heater in the first area, one baffle and the rest...

I just bought 150-lbs of Southdown play sand. It says on the bag that it is "Not Recommended for Aquariums". I just want to make sure that it is ok to use what I bought. It is Southdown sand, it says it is from the Caribbean and that it is cleaned. Thanks in advance.

Here is a picture of what I have planned for my fuge. I am going to put it in a closet on the other side of the wall from my tank. I am going to put it a little higher than the main tank so I don't have to worry about overflow boxes etc... I want to just have it overflow into my tank and...

I posted this on the Equipment/DIY board but it doesn't seem like there is as much activity there so I thought I better put it here too. Anyone ever put their fuge/sump above thier tank? Any problems I might not have thought of. I was just planning to have it overflow into the tank and pump...

My blue legs have pretty much mowed through my algae and unfortunately my snails. One of the problems it seems is that the crabs that I had shipped with the snails as a clean up crew were ready to get out of their current shells. Now I have 4 of the 20 that I ordered crawling around in snail...

Anyone have one of these? Seems to work pretty well. My question is how often, if it is working correctly (dry foam), should I have to empty the collection cup? I am thinking about every third or fourth day. Is this right? Thanks.

Anyone ever done this? Any problems I might not have thought of. I was just planning to have it overflow into the tank and pump water back up to it. I don't have room under the tank (46 gallon) and my wife won't let me go through the wall into the closet on the other side of the wall. I was...

Anyone here from Maryland know if Home Depot's sell southdown. Hagerstown has a home depot and it is only about an hour away. Might go over there and buy some if someone can tell for sure that they carry it. Thanks in advance
