I picked up a bi-color blenny the other day, and this is my first fish that's an herbivore. I've been feeding Emerald Entree and he seems to be picking the rocks well, but I want to make sure he's getting enough to eat and that his diet is varied enough to keep him healthy. Will they eat algae...

I am cycling a 65g which will be my new reef tank, and I am seriously considering setting up my old 16g bow front as a seahorse tank. Ideally, I'd like to do a pair of horses and a pipefish. I'm just beginning my research, but I am hoping someone can give me some ideas on what my options are...

When installing a bulkhead, should the rubber gasket be on the top (water) side or the bottom side beneath the glass?

I just finally installed a RO/DI filtration system, and I was appalled at what my TDS is without it. I have well water, and mine was running about 850! From what I can tell, that is pretty high. I was just curious what everyone's TDS reading is before it goes through your RO/DI.

I am hoping you can help me determine what size return pump to use. It will be a 65g mixed reef, built in overflow with Durso standpipe, and either a 20 long or 29g sump/fuge. I'm thinking about using the Tunze 6025 powerheads, so that would be 1320gph if I had two of those. If I used a Mag 7...

For those that have one, what size tank do you have? I am in the process of setting up a 65 with a corner overflow, and the dimensions are 36" long, 18" deep, and 24" high. I plan to have mainly LPS and softies with some SPS. Do you think it would be too much flow, or would it be okay?

I am going to be getting a 65g tank that is 36L x 18D x 24H. I am thinking about going with a Tek 6 x 39w fixture, but my concern is if that will be strong enough to penetrate a tank that is 24" tall. I don't plan to be SPS heavy at all, maybe a few here and there, if that. Mainly, I'd like...

This isn't the best picture of them, but I'd like to show off my new Bangaii's. I added one last week, and then regretted not getting two right off the bat (there were three together at the LFS). So I decided to go back this week to try to pick a mate. I knew the odds weren't in my favor, but...

I know it will depend on the personality of the individual fish, but I'd like to hear what your experience was from those who actually had one. I would love a pygmy angel, and if it took a nip here or there it wouldn't bother me as long as it wasn't excessive. I'm just trying to figure out if...

I'm thinking about what fish to put in my 50 reef, and I'd really like to include one that is green. I'm looking for one that is a vibrant green, not a pastel green like a Chromis. I am just setting it up and still deciding on all the fish, so compatibility is not really a concern yet. Just...

Well, about 12:30 a.m. I was lying in bed and all of a sudden the power went out and about two seconds later I heard a loud pop. So I woke up my husband and we both ran downstairs and smelled something burning. It took a minute to realize that the smell was coming from my tank and when we...

I have a CPR BakPak 2 HOB skimmer for sale. It is approximately 2 years old, but I replaced the pump with a new Maxi-Jet 1200 within the past 6 months or so. I do also have the pre-skimmer box which I never used, so that part is brand new. It is currently running on my 16 and works great. The...

I am in the process of trading up to a 50 gal. with dimensions of 36x18x18. I do not have any fish in my current tank, so I am wide open there. I do have a few corals, and intend to keep it a reef tank. So, if this was your tank, what would your ideal fish list be? ***)

My hubby is an over the road truck driver and I am looking to get him a hand held video game system for Christmas to play during his down time. He's only into playing sports games (mainly hockey) if that makes any difference. He had a regular Xbox at home, but I think he wore it out because it...

I have a Toshiba Satellite A75-S226 laptop which has been nothing but problems and has been in for service 6 times in two years! I am in the process of trying to get Best Buy to replace it under their no-lemon policy. So, now I am researching laptops again and am looking for some unbiased...

I don't mind paying for downloading ringtones, but it seems like the only sites I find lock you into a subscription of some kind if you read the fine print. Can anyone suggest some reputible sites that offer pay-as-you-go downloads with no subscriptions? Thanks!

This is going to sound really strange but I think there is a tiny crab living inside my plate coral. Here's the story...before I upgraded my lights my plate had a small dime sized patch where the flesh was receding near the bottom and a small hole directly above that patch up closer to the...

I am having an issue with 16gal. and am trying to come up with some sort of surface skimmer to take care of the surface matter/film on the top of my water. For filtration I currently have a Fluval 204 and BakPak Skimmer and two Aquaclear 10 powerheads. Someone suggested shortening the intake...

Since this got no response in the Newbie forum...I'll try here. Hopefully you guys will have some suggestions. I am looking to upgrade lighting on my 16 gal. bow front. I currently have an Orbit 80w and I really like it, just want more light. Since I don't have a canopy, I need to find an...

I am looking to upgrade lighting on my 16 gal. bow front. I currently have an Orbit 80w and I really like it, just want more light. Since I don't have a canopy, I need to find an all-in-one unit. Tank is 20" wide and so far I have only been able to find a 24" fixture. I did find a JEBO 20"...
