    refugium placement

    I found this website when I was doing a little research on refugiums. It seems pretty informative and the setup the guy has looks successful: http://saltaquarium.about.com/gi/dyn.../refugium.html Also, does anyone have any suggestions on setting up a 10 gallon refugium next to my 12 gallon...

    Thanks for the info. That's most likely what killed them then.

    Cleaner Shrimp problem

    Well, i found him about an hour ago, so tomorrow I will go and get my water checked. However, I suspected he was suffering from ICH, so that may have actually claimed his life. I found the Percula about 3 days ago and he was suffering from ICH as well. I'm not sure how long it actually takes...

    Cleaner Shrimp problem

    Today I found my cleaner shrimp chowing down on my Firefish. I also found a his molted exoskeleton laying nearby. About a week ago I found him chowing down on my Percula Clown. Is it possible that the cleaner shrimp killed my fish?

    Hyposalinity

    Actually, I have another question. How accurate are those glass floating hydrometers. Refractometers are rather expensive and I already own one of the glass hydrometers. How exact does the salinity reading have to be for hyposalinity success?

    Hyposalinity

    I noticed ich on my Percula Clown and Firefish. I'm currently setting up a quarintine tank and am using livesand as my substrate in order to jumpstart the cycling process in the tank. I am planning on using strictly hyposalinity and no medications. I've noticed that the FAQ thread on this...

    Overheating !

    Wouldn't it make sense to place the fans facing out, so as to pull out the heat produced by the PC lights? I installed two 60mm CPU fans right underneath the vents. Installed perfectly. I placed both facing out through the vents to pull out any heat. They've only been in for one day so i can...

    Cooling Fan installation in 12g Nanocube

    Can anyone tell me how I would go about installing a 60mm CPU cooling fan onto my 12g Nanocube? I bought a CPU case fan and an AC/DC adapter to power it but I have no clue how to modify it so that the case fan will work from that power source. Please help! Also, any other suggestions on how to...

    First anemone suggestions?

    The Condyiss a pretty hardy anemone and relatively inexpensive. I bought mine at my lfs for about $10. The Tomato Clown I have loves it. It took him about a week or two to adjust to it but he constantly hangs out in him now. I think he got jealous when he saw my Domino Damsel starting to make...

    Maroon Clown digging

    My Tomato Clown does the same thing. When I purchased my anemone and introduced it into the tank, the Tomato about a week later started doing the rapid tail movement into the sand. He actually ended up digging a nice size hole in the sand right under a piece of live rock. The anemone moved...

    You can also boil them, if they are not to large.

    Can water be too hard?

    I'm in my 3rd year at St. Thomas University Law School. I went to school up at Florida State for undergrad and majored in Poli Sci. I was thinking, the RO water I get is Deer Park. I know that the bottled water companies deliver RO water right to your door if you order it. The reason I know...

    Can water be too hard?

    Most supermarkets. Go into the water aisle and check the caps on the 5 gallon water jugs to make sure they say "purified through reverse osmosis." I'm not sure where you live, but down here in Florida most Publix Supermarkets have machines that will allow you to refill the 5 gallon jugs with...
