Ok, last night I was looking at my tank, and noticed something very small moving on some Montipora that I have been watching for growth. It was very tiny, but as I watched, I could see that it had the shape , legs , and movement exactly like a full grown Emerald Crab. My question is pretty...

I was watching my tank and all of a sudden, there was this burst of what I thought were bubbles that shot out of my Eheim Wet Dry discharge.... but, it was not bubbles, those things started swimming like crazy.... the fish went wild eating them up as fast as they could... does anyone have an...

Well here is the story... about nine months ago, I bought a piece of branch rock that had some frilly mushrooms on it. At the top of this branch was this flat piece of something, I never new exactly what it was, but it was attached and had two nice shrooms growing on it. The other day, I was...

I was at this very small pet store yesterday, I stopped because they had a handwritten sign in the window saying they had Saltwater fish and supplies now.. it is in a small Utah town. Anyway, I go in, and they have like a 30 gallon tank, with a couple of fish, and some Feather Dusters, and a...

I was at a big hardware store today, the one that starts with an L.. and I saw this 5000 BTU room air conditioning unit that is selling for $22.00, YES you read it right, $22.00... I bought it, how could I not? Anyway, does anyone have any ideas about how this might be made into a Chiller of...

Right now I have a GENX 4 that has a 1" inlet, and a 1/2" outlet, so when I did my plumbing I did 1/2" PVC to the Display tank from my sump return. I want to upgrade the pump to a pump that has a 1" INTAKE, and a 1" Outlet. What happens if I leave my 1/2' PVC in place and have the 1" outlet...

This snail is fairly new to my tank, but there are hundreds of them. Some of them have gotten quite large now. Some are still very small. They are nocturnal totally, and when the lights go out, they seem to come out of no where. They are on the glass and rock, but have not seen them...

Hope these work....

Ok, I have read and read and read about this, and I am pretty sure I understand how it works, but... here is the problem. No matter what I do, I can not get my Calcium level in the right range. It is always HIGH. My PH is perfect, 8.2 all the time... My dKh, is 7.4 My Calcium is over 800...

I recently added 2 - 250 watt Ushio 10,000k metal halides to my system. Previous to this I had 2 96 watt, 50/50 10,000 k and Actinic PC lights. The problem is, I don't like the way the tank looks now as much. When the metal halides are on, the tank has a more yellow-green look to it.. I...

I went into a new LFS while on a trip out of town yesterday and they were selling Lace Rock for 1.29 a lbs... There were some very beautiful pieces of rock that I could see very clearly would look great in my tank.. several flat pieces that would make some great tables and overhangs. My...

I am making a sump from a 50 gallon glass tank. I have drilled one hole for a 1" bulkhead. My question is, how much flow is possible thru a one inch bulkhead. Is there enough to run two 1200 GPH pumps thru it?? Thanks, Dave

Hi all you Aquarium experts..... A couple of simple questions... I read a lot, and never did quite understand how much color could vary with lighting.... Now I have hooked up my metal halide lighting... and if I say so myself, the DIY canopy my son and I did is awesome, we raised it 12 inches...

OK, I am ready to upgrade to a real good protein skimmer finally. I am adding my Metal Halide lights, and a 50 gallon Sump this coming week. I have a few questions that the experts could help me with. One, my display tank is 90 gallons, with a 30 gallon refugium, and now adding a 50 gallon...

I just ordered my Metal Halide lights... I am geting two 250W Oshio 10,000K with an Electronic Ballast and will have two 96w PC Actinics with them. On my 90 gallon tank this is going to be a lot of light. I would appreciate any advice and reccomendations on some timing schedules to acclimate...

ok, here it goes... I started this hobby ten months ago, when I inherited a 90 gallon tank and stand, with a Magnum 300, and Eheim wet dry, model 2927 I think, right off the top of my head. A renter left it when he skipped out in the middle of the night..... LOL boy did he get me, now I know...

Exactly how long does it take to start seeing the Pod's alive and proliferating in a new refugium? Mine has been up for 12 days and no sight of anything alive yet... Thanks, Dave

I tested my Calcium and KH today. Calcium was over 900 and KH was 230. These figures are double what they should be. The guys at the LFS of course told me they used the tap water here and had no problems and I believed them. I had mixed up some saltwater yesterday for a waterchange and had...
