Looks like I've got a small aiptasia occurrence - I've researched the problem, and I'm going to try lemon juice first. I am a little concerned about one particular specimen that is living in the midst of a xenia colony...will the lemon juice harm the xenia? Also, where does one buy a...

Silly Question... Does anyone ever worry about the police taking an interest in all the light emanating from their home? Specifically, does anyone ever worry about someone thinking that you are growing pot, instead of corals? Just wondering... Eric

I just realized ("discovered") that you can start a siphon by directing the flow from a powerhead into the submerged end of tubing!!! What a great trick!! There are probably a million little "secrets" like this...so use this thread to post your favorite!

How did everyone from the Gulf Coast fare? I've been reading that Dennis wasn't as bad as Ivan, so that's good...but let's hear it from those who were there??!! The remnants of Dennis are nearing St. Louis, and BOY am I glad! We've had nasty mugginess up here for the last month; no rain, no...

I just spent the whole day removing a third of the CC from my tank. Almost the whole right side is bare glass, with all of my LR piled up on the left side. I was worried about my Scooter Blenny being on a bare surface, but it he has spent a lot of time on the bare glass...maybe he likes it...

That should get some attention!!! But, seriously folks, how many out there have a completely bare tank bottom? Has anyone thought about it? Anyone done it, and switched back, or LOVED it? Pros and Cons? Eric

I'd like to switch from crushed coral/aragonite to live sand. At the LFS, they sell it dry, in bags. Is this any good, or should I get the Arag-Alive that is packed wet. Would I have to take all the LR and fish out (in buckets?) while I changed over, or could I just dump it in there? eek!

Anyone use MH pendants? Would one need two for a 48'' tank? If you use these, how do you supplement the light with actinics? Gosh, I feel so ign'nt...

I've had a Cleaner Wrasse for maybe six months now. Before I purchased this fish, I read (in several books) that they are quite suitable for the home aquarium. After I got him, I read in several books that theyare not, in fact suitable because it is difficult for them to receive proper...

I'm looking aroung for a MH setup (appropriate for a currently fish-only 55). If anyone has anything to offer, or any ideas or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any input help

I'm about to buy a new 48'' pc light setup. I have two choices, 4x65 or 4x96 (watts). The 4x96 costs significantly more than the 4x65. Actually, the price is almost double. Is is worth the extra $$$$$? Is there a real difference between which organisms will thrive under each setup? Help!!!
