Got some mojano on some LR a few yrs ago and now it is all over the tank. Rubbing up against the base of corals etc. My plan is to take out all the rock that doesn't have coral on it and put it in trash cans with the lid on to keep it dark. Then put the clean rock back in the tank and try to...

Going on my third day of trying the coke bottle idea with brine shrimp and a piece of krill in my refugium. The fish I am trying to catch are 2 green chromis, yellow wrasse and a firefish. None have gone into the bottle yet as far as I can tell. What are some other methods of catching these...

I have a green one and a pink one that started off as a bunch of branches with a head at the end of each one, now it is a full ball and you can;t even see a branch. Do I just break it apart? Or cut it with something? And if so does it matter at all how many pieces I make? Thanks John I think I...

How do they reproduce? I have always had many of the little ones that come in live rock and some that get down in the sand, but I just noticed that I have a new duster in the sand that is about 1.5" with the light and dark brown swirls like the two 4" ones I have had (purchased them) for the...

I already have about 3 or 4 in my display tank and am about to order the 5 pack of them on this site and was wondering if caulerpa is part of their regular diet? If not, I was going to drop one or two in the fuge to scavenge around. I know there is no way he could put a dent in the caluerpa...

I see that the HD pumps advertise being very quiet, but was wondering if the Dolphin was really much louder, if at all? The Dolphin I am planning on getting it the 3600. Also, are you using regular check valves in line with the plumbing and how much pressure can they take? (i.e how close to the...

I have 2 of the Lights of America 65 watt lights for my refugium. Both are wired the exact same way. Both have tape over the light sensor. One works great. The other will blink on for about a second after it is plugged in and then it will immediately shut off and stay that way until you...

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Dolphin Model 2700 1/15 HP Aqua Sea Pump that uses new Amp Master motor. If so, how has your experience been with it? How does it compare to GRI, IWAKI, and HD pumps as far as reliablitly, sound, and performance go? I have posted twice...

I just moved tanks and QTed all of my fish for a month with the hyposaline treatment to make sure they are all healthy and parasite free. They are all doing great and I will QT any new fish I get for a month in the 20 gal, but for inverts and LR what should I do? I know ich needs a fish host...

Going frag/ coral shopping and was going to get the frags/ corals listed if they are available. Just wanted to know if there is anything special I need to know about them before I get one or several of them? Colt hammer pagota cup torch bubble The corals I currently have are as follows: Red...

Thinking about a new skimmer since I am fairly positive the one I am using is WAY to small for my new tank. It is also in a wet dry that I am using only for the skimmer (would like to take it completely out of the system). I have no idea what brand it is. It came with the wet dry filter that I...

Trying to be economical but also trying to think ahead long term as well. Right now I have 2 700 gph pumps in the refugium and a 500 gph powerhead in the tank (I sometimes have a 300 in there as well when it is not mixing my salt in the roughneck). On the 180 gal that I recently moved into, this...

Any Ideas what it is and is it good to have in there? It is white. has 6 legs, is about 1/2 inch across and is stuck to the glass. Doesn't seem to be moving around really either. Thanks John

Currently I have a 75 gal w/ 60-70#s of LR and a 20 gal fuge. I plan to set up my 180 this weekend and would like to know what the best way to go about getting it going. Options: 1. Put all of the LR coral sand water, etc from my 75 into the 180 and add 100 gallons of water. The 20 gal fuge...

Well, the yellow tang I got monday I just discovered has ick. I put him in my 10 gal qt, but my question is how long will a tang live in a 10 gal tank? I don't want to rush him back into the display and run the risk of it spreading, but I don't want to leave him in the 10 gal too long either...

Been a while since I got a new tang. Had 3 yellow tangs about 8 years ago and had a sailfin not to long after that so I don't remember their acclimation process, but I thought they did well right away. This is a pretty large yellow tang (only tang in tank) and swims around fine and is active...

Is it normal for them to try to host in a frogspawn? Also, is it going to hurt the frogspawn b.c it apparently isn't bothering them any.

I have the front piece of tempered glass from my old 55 gal tank. My plan is to make a 90 gal fuge out of it and have 3 main chambers. 1 for xenia 1 for caulerpa 1 for the sump. Each chamber would be 1' 4" wide and 2' deep. I would like to make a DIY skimmer to put in the fuge as well. My...

I just got rid of a small cyano outbreak about 2 weeks ago. Amm. - 0 trites -0 trates - 0 RO water 20 gal refugium protein skimmer About 2 days ago I got some light yellow / green algae that covers the glass. Can't see any on the sand or rocks but if you wipe it off the glass, it comes back...

I just got into the reef thing not that long ago and now that I have a decent little selection of corals. Xenia, purple finger leather, zoo polyps, green star polyps, frogspawn, toadstool, and 2 kinds of mushrooms, I was wondering how to go about properly fragging the things. I think I heard to...
