My wife and I are going to Cocoa Beach FL (cape cannaveral) the first week of Jan. We really want to do some snorkeling. I was told that we could do that in Ft Peirce or Ft. Lauderdale. I'm looking for some more info before we go. Anyone been there, or know where I can get some more info...

Looking at the picture here it looks like this fish is a dark purple color. I saw one in a LFS ( at least they called it an Achilles Tang) but it was a brown color and not nearly as pretty as I expected. What color is this fish? Could the LFS have had it mismarked?

Due an unfortunate accident, my sea apple got stressed and poisoned my tank, killing all my fish and shrimp. Now I will be restocking my tank, and want to get it right this time. Please give comments on the list. Tank is this. 90 gallon long (72X12X24tall). 10 gallon sump. 15 gallon fuge...

While making some changes this weekend, I stressed my Sea Apple and he released his poison, killing all my fish and shrimp. At the time it was in my fuge and isolated from my display. I scooped out all the water to remove the poison. Do I need to remove all the sand as well, or will removing...

I have an RO/DI from aquasafe canada. On the drain line there is a restrictor valve. In on position it backflushes the membrane and the other it make water. I was flipping it last night and it got stuck and stripped. Of course in the position that doesn't make water. Does Lowe's or HD carry...

A few questions to help me decide on a the right path to go. 1. Which light is better for growing corals, atinic 03 or 10K white? Why? If you could only have one or the other over your tank, which would you put purley for coral growth, no viewing or price or heat concerns? 2. If you had to...

Is anyone looking for sand for $10-$12 a 40 Lb bag?

Rate it 1 is anybody with a tank can do it and 10 is impossible. Any comments are welcome and your success stories and how long you've been trying would help.

Looks crazy huh? This tube will extend the pump from the skimmer a little. It will also seperate the water pump from the air pump. The old pump will have the air inlet taken off so it just pumps water. I will use an old air pump to pump air into the tube. The green in the middle is an...

I need a 2 part epoxy that is aquarium safe once cured. Any suggestions? Would JB Weld work? Thanks, Rob

I'm looking to sell my yellow tang. It's about 3 inches. Healthy fish, but too agressive. I want to get a naso or hippo. If interested please post reply. Looking for local sale.

I would like to put some Tang Heaven in my fuge. I'm in Rock Hill just south of Charlotte, NC. If anyone has some I could harvest a little of to get started I would really love it.

My wife and I were looking at the new fuge last night. I was watching a red and black bristle worm. The only one I've seen in the tank, and she asked me, what are all those little things crawling on the glass? As I looked, there were at least a hundred little pods crawling on the...

Can you crush coral to the point that it is like sand? I have a large amount that was taken out of a tank. Would like a sand bed, but can't afford it. I could bleach the extra CC that I have and then crush it if it would work. How would I crush it. I wouldn't think you could just beat it...

I have a pencil urchin that likes to knock my rocks over. I'm sure this is no surprise to anyone. I just got my refuge running and have QTed him to that tank for now. I run the lights on the fuge 24/7 right now. I am battleing nitrates and plant growth is really needed in my system. Will...

What makes the difference in the affectiveness of a skimmer? Sometimes the bubbles pop before they rise up the column. Is that because they are too big? Sometimes the overflow is wet and sometimes the column gets filled with junk, but the overflow doesn't fill. Why? What roll does the amount...

I have several different kinds of mushrooms. There are a couple that I only have 1 of that I would like to multiple. I have been told I can just cut the stem and a new one will grow. Is there anything special I need to know? I was going to cut it with a razor blade. What about getting...

Got a piece of LR from the LFS yesterday. Was taking a close look at it and I noticed this red thing coming out of one of the holes in the LR. Maybe 1/2 inch long. Looked kind of like a centipede. I figure it was a bristle worm of some kind. As I looked closer, the red stopped, but the...

You can run the lights 24/7 on a refugium to get as much nitrate out as possible. You can use a refugium to grow pods to feed fish like a green mandarin. The pods are nocturnal. Does that mean that you have to cycle the lights in order to grow pods? How do you get the pods from the fuge to the...

I have some white specs growing on the back wall of my tank. They look almost like a spiral tube. Could be a snail, but I didn't think saltwater snails would reproduce in your tank. I will try to get a picture, but don't have one right now. Any ideas?
