I seen one at my lfs and it was pretty big. Like ten inches listed as XLarge. Would a 10 inch Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish fit in my 90g? Are they hard to keep? He would be like godzilla compared to the other size fish i have. Small 8 inch sfe, midas blenny,flame angel. I seen...

I am sure that every flake food differs and it depends on if there is moisture in the container but whats a good average for opened flake food. And i don't want to do the taste test. Yearly? I have some stuff thats like three years old. No mold or plant growing out of it yet. Should i...

I was wondering if a dogface puffer could even catch ich since its skin is poisonous. How bout in the gills? Don't have one yet but just wanted to know. Of course i would not add anything if i did have an outbreak.

Should i use some glue on my new setup? Its a 90g perfecto reef ready with a 125g rated proclear wetdry with a mag 9.5. The pvc is 3/4 ball valve to 3/4 to 1 inch adapter and one inch pvc on up with a couple of 45s. Its screwed pvc up to the 3/4 to 1 inch adapter. I'm guessing its around...

Just got done with setting up my new perfecto reef ready 90g. I carried everything from my 55, what a workout. The water goes up and down inside the overflow (making a wuuush sound) but the water level doesn't move in the 125g rated wetdry or the tank. So the flow should be fine but am i...

Well all this sump talk has got me excited. And i want to make a sump/fuge on my 29g. I like the stand because it matches my wood railings. So i don't want another stand. As you can see it has a middle brace. Totally in the way. I want to remove it and put 2x4 brace in its place. I...

I have my 29g setup with a valentini puffer and two true percs. I will not get rid of the puffer. I know the puffer kills snails, but i would like something to eat the algea if possible. I know they have the spines to protect them . Would it work. Or would the puffer tear it apart piece by...

Well i thought i should share my update of my refugium. Its a 10g acrylic tank plumbed by a 3/4 pvc drain and a small 70gph ph, the green one in the pic. This is on my 55g tank with a 125g proclear wetdry. I run carbon, phoszorb and a gamma hangon uv sterilizer. It has been running for about...

Just wondering if its true or not. Does siphoning live sand harm bacteria thats in it. I know the creatures in the sand get sucked out. But how would it affect bacteria. I can't imagine why bacteria would be affected as long as its in saltwater. I don't have a deep sand bed.

I just made my macro/refugium order. Should be getting cheato,gracilaria,mermaids fan,calerpa which i probably will sell. Plus more goodies. I have my 10g fuge and 125g wetdry on my 55g. I want a nice looking setup so i don't want to use the chaeto in my 10g. And can't use floating algea in...

I feed it freeze dried krill but rejected it.. Is it just picky or wasn't hungry. It swalled it hole then 5 min later spit it out. I finally got it to eat some mysis shrimp with a baster. But it is a pain to keep using the baster. Will it eat frozen krill?

I have a 10 g fuge with a 18w pc 50/50. I am not sure the watts and spectrum is good enough. I want to get some more macro soon. I have some shaving brush but it is growing slowly. If not should i just get one of those 25w w/ 100w n.o. output flourescent household bulbs from a desk lamp. I seen...

Just got my purple nudibranch a week ago. He is doing fine eating the algea off the glass. It is either pooing or laying eggs. Looks like a thin grainy sheet white in color and it is still coming out of it. It looks like a thin sheet of white eggs to me. Not sure what the poo looks like though...

Here are some pics of my jebos ballast. I am not impressed at all.

I was wondering if mh can be mounted 5 feet away from the tank. Are they really that strong. My lfs has just started a new setup like that. 4-5 ft distance with an open top 20g long tank. Lights bolted to the ceiling at an angle towards many 20g tanks. He told me light travels alot farther thru...

I really like these little yellow guys. Does anyone have more than one living peacefully? Their only an inch so i'm not worried about the bioload. I have 55g with a 10g fuge. I have one already and want to get him some friends.

Well i know definitely the jawfish is not in my 29g. I just have fake corals in there and took everything out and combed thru the sand. Looked around the filter and ph. Checked around the tank. But one of my dogs would of ate it . They love tunafish. I seen it about 2-3 days ago max. I have...

Well i finally got my refugium running. I wanted to know how long should i wait to add a refugium kit. The kit will have pods, mysis shrimp,brittle stars, ast stars, worms,ls,and macro. I know starfish are the most delicate. I see alot of 6 month wait for new tanks. But i would think...

I'm thinking about adding another ph. I have a 55g fo tank with large dead corals. My wet dry puts out 500gph at 4ft and my maxijet makes 295. So i have 795 gph. Should i add another 1200. Then it will be bumped up to 1090gph. 2 f percs,3 g cromis,b blenny,y clown goby I don't want to stress...

Its not finished yet. I just need an adapter for the hose and top it off. If my arm wasn't in a sling i'd be done alredy. I believe it should run ok. Its 3/4 pvc and will be powered by a 40-70gph pump. If needed i will make an extra outake. This is a 10g acrylic tank running to my 125g...
