My wifes CPR backpak RR has worked well for about 4 months, now the last month or two I can not get it to make enough bubbles and or not have the water level high enough for the skim to form. What can I do to make it work again? I have taken it apart twice and it will work for a week or two...

I am an ER nurse and I work 12hr nights. I came home yesterday morning to about a 20g flood on my carpet downstairs. The C-clamp or circle clamp that holds my return tube from my overflow broke off and the water poured out! I do not know how long it had been but so far everything looks OK...

Any ideas on how I can get my Red Sea Mimic blenny out of my tank. I love the little bugger but after 9 months he is now starting to eat my SPS corals. He pics at my birdsnest's, stylophora, monti dig. He is just driving me nuts, and if it's between him and the corals, well the corals win...

I have a PFO Dual 250w MH ballast that is 10 months old. I just replaced the capacitors and is working fine. I am asking $125 for it. I also have a completely rebuilt Sequence Dart pump for sale $150. It is what I run on my 120g for SPS. It pumps 2400gph at 6 feet of head pressure. It would...

Well I wondered why my Acroporas didn't have the polyp extension that I see at a couple of my LFS. So I got into a discussion with one of my expert LFS guys and he showed me some red bugs that he was treating his acros for. They are very tiny and hard to see but I finally saw them. He said...

Some pics of my tank after I had a crash a month and a half ago. I lost 8 pieces of SPS including my loved pink birdsnest. The tank is rebounding well, the rest of my SPS except for two pieces have come back strong. Still doing all I can and hopeing the other two continue to thrive. Still...

Our Red Cynarina! Got it when it was baout the size of a silver dollar, now about 5 inches in diameter! The pic with the feeder tentacles out gives the truest coloration to what my eye sees. And a pic of the brain just because.

OK readers digest version of events: in the past 5 days i have lost 5 SPS to RTN/STN. First the gorgeous and beloved pink birdsnest, then the stylophora, next a frag of a. robusta, montipora petiformis frag, and today a. secale frag. How can I stop the dying? Found the biggest issue to be...

Hey I have lost my beautiful Pink Birdsnest to RTN in the last day and now my Stylophora pistallata has it. Should I get it out? Will RTN spread to other SPS? What the HELL!! Any help please! Thanks

I am getting new bulbs on friday and am wondering how to acclimate my corals to the new light. I currently have 10K's and am getting 14K's. Should I put them in and gradually increase the time they are on; say 2-3hrs first day, 3-4hrs on 3rd day, 4-5 hrs on 5th day etc? I have my MH on for...

Does anyone have any experience with these bulbs. I am thinking about getting their 250W 10K+ (14K look). How about acclimating my tank to the new lights, just run them for a shorter time period for a few days like 4hrs instead of 8hrs? Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone with experience calibrating one of these please respond. When calibrating do you use the temp corection table on the back of the 4.00 and 7.00 solution. The temp in my house is 68* and the label says it is 4.00 and 7.00 at 75*. Should I recalibrate using the correction table to 68*...

I found this nudi in my wifes tank, came as a hitchhiker. Need to know if it is harmful species or not. Not the best pics but all I could get with my crappy camera. It is white and orange and it's sides look kinda like leaves. Any help would be appreciated. It is actually very pretty.

Just spent 2 hrs researching the Ecoaqualizer. Does anyone have any experience with this product? I read all about it and am skeptical but willing to try it. I am under no illusions that it will fix all my problems and eliminate water changes, but I like the foundation of the concept. Any...

My Anchor Hammer is out of control! Can he get much bigger? The pic with the tape measure for reference makes it almost look smaller. It is about 7inches across by 8 inches tall. Can you frag an Anchor Hammer? Just curious.
