    How do mushrooms reproduce?

    liquidskys thats actually exactly what i did. You cut off the head leaving the base and cut the head in half or quarters and take a rock and put toole over it and those four attach themselves to the rock in a couple weeks and the original base grows a head again.

    How long can I keep my metal halides?

    I believe most people recommend changing halides once every 12-14 months. Although i've heard they can be effective up to a year and a half. What does everyone else think?

    can u have fish before u put in liverock

    Sure you CAN have fish before live rock, but you are taking a big and unnecessary risk. If you already have fish in the tank and want live rock you have to add a little at a time. Main reason why liverock is recommended first is because it by itself can cycle a tank. Any live rock that you...

    Scary ***** Story!!!

    In all honesty i work at Pecto myself. But that is just plain rediculous to not know the threats of the fish you have in the room. My question is, how can you have someone working in the fishroom that doesn't know the first thing about saltwater fish? There are alot of untrained and...

    Post Lion Pics!!!

    He eats like a champ!!! I have him on a mixture of Krill, Prawn, Silversides and anything else he sees in chunks that looks interesting. I've had him for about a year and a half now. All my fish are actually "trained." Its kind of a learned habbit, when I go into my closet next to the tank...

    how can he have so many fish??

    Yes i still do, at least for another semister. I'm hardly ever in the fishroom anymore because they need me on stock. Also i beleive they cut spending for saltwater fish so we aren't getting in as many lately. Our supplier hasn't been shipping the best stuff lately so i guess its not a total...

    how can he have so many fish??

    He's definetly lying to you....or you can expect him to have very serious problems down the road with his fish. I had a hippo tang that lived in my 55 for 5 years but was never truely happy to be there you could tell, now imagine that same fish in a 10 gallon. HE WILL HAVE PROBLEMS...lots.

    Is this good enough lighting for a 55gl?

    Its usually not how much wattage, but how intense the bulbs are that you have. Many on the board suggest metal halide bulbs at least 175 watts to keep an anemone.

    Sweeping Power head?

    I had two of them awhile back and to tell you the truth they aren't that great. They eventually stop osalating when they get old and the current that comes out of them isnt' the greatest. I would just grab some good old fashioned Aquaclear Powerheads instead. The extra osalating feature will...

    Metal Halide lighting question

    Hey guys, haven't been to the board in a while but just had a random question. I have an old reptile hood that is 48 inches long and is perfect size for my tank. It supports a 40 watt NO florescent and has 3 fixtures for incandescent bulbs. I looked and the moguls are rated for 660W each...
