    Is that relatively low light? I'm feeding the coral and anemone cyclopeeze (sp?) right now. Not too much though b/c it seems to just float around if I do more than a 1/4 tblspoon in the turkey baster. Also, give the setup, what are some acceptable combos of coral/inverts/fish? How many...

    Skimmer issues

    gotcha. I was looking for a "sliding valve" as mentioned in the instructions. I read that "riser pipe" and knew right off. Thanks.

    My clownfish is gone

    Ok... Let me start by saying that I am a complete newbie at SW aquariums and I am mainly ignorant to this stuff. My clownfish is gone. I got a 55gal tank and everything is going well but I came home this evening and he's no where to be seen. I have two tangs and a damsel in there as well...
