I have approx 10-15 gallon fuge. I have chaeto in it. My 7100k 24 watt PC was destoyed becuase I am a moron and dropped it in the fuge. I no have an NO 15 watt flourescent on it. Do you think this is enough or should I get another light. Thanks.

I have a Euroreef skimmer that I have been using for about 4 weeks. About a week ago it started to produce a very wet skimate and I was having to empty the collection cup every few hours. I cleaned the intake tubing and that seemed to solve the problem for a week. Now it is happening again. I...

I just got a snowflake eel. Hes pretty small. He is about the diameter of a Sharpie and probably 8 inches long. He eats like crazy. I have been feeding him small pieces of scallop once a day. Is this too much? not enough? Thanks

I was thinking of getting the Aqua C Remora Pro. Ideally I would like to have a HOB skimmer because of space limitations under my tank. Does this skimmer work as well as an insump model? I will have at total water volume of approx 90 gallons.

Do you base it on tank size or total water volume of the system? If I have a 60 gallon tank and a 30 gallon fuge, do I need a skimmer for 90 gallons?

3 days ago I bought this beautiful pair of True Percs. I havent QT any of the fish in my tank yet and I fiqure that I have been playing Russian Roulette. I have had my QT set up for almost 2 months, but had recently done a huge water change to get my nitrates down. I put them in on Friday and...

I have a 60 gallon that measures 24"x24"x24". I am going to get MH soon. My thought was to get one 250watt. I would also have 2 65 watt actinics. This would give me 380 watts or 6.333 watts/gallon. Eventually I would like to do acro and would like to have an anemone. Do you think this is enough...

I set up my QT about 6 weeks ago. I cycled it with a shrimp. Since then I have had mod high nitrates. Today I day a 40 % water change and the Nitrate level did not change at all. I have a red sea test kit and it is in the range of 5-25. Tank details: 10 gallon(I know I'll get a bigger one later)...

SO if your not supposed to use stuff like windex, what the heck do you use to clean it with?

Approx 1 mo ago I added my first snails. I added 10 turbo snails to my tank. It is a 60 gallon Salinity 1.025 Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates are 0 PH 8.2 Temp 81-83 Since then 3 have died. I was talking to someone I work with who also has a tank. She said that she had the same problem and the...

So I went to the LFS today and was looking for something to kep my sandbed stirred up and clean. The LFS sold me 2 sand sifting stars for my 60 gallon. (This LFS and the guy I spoke with is highly regarded by the local marine aquarium club) I came home and was looking through the marine inverts...

My tank has been up and running for 3 weeks. After reading many of the posts here and getting alot of advice from Birdy, I am considering making a change. My tank is 3 weeks old and I figure making the change now would be easier than making it later. I currently have 4 blue green chromis that...

I have a 1 inch sand bed. Do I need to have these? If so what should I get? The guy at the LFS said that I dont need them. He said that they will not sift through all of the sand and will just find a small area to stay in. HE said that once a month I should stir up the sand bed by hand. Thanks

I have just started cycling my new 60 gallon tank. It is a custom made cube tank that I got off Craigs list. It measure 24x24x24. It was set up 10 days ago and has yet to have its ammonia spike. Any way I was trying to decide on what kind of fish to get. I have already started to get alot of...

My LFS has stated that this should be done because the KH of RO/DI water is 0. Is this what I should be doing everytime I top off. My current KH is 7. Ph 8.2 Thanks

I have week old water that was made with an ro/di and then I added salt. I just read that I should have added Ammonia Detox to remove the chlorine before I added the salt. Do I need to add Ammonia detox at all if the water is aged? If I do can I add it now or do I have to trash the water and...

I have just started running my 60 gallon tank. I have a hood without a fan in it. I have 2 65 watt PC actinics and 2 65 watt daylight for 260 watt total. During the day my water tempature increase 1.5-2.0 degrees. IS this okay? If not should I put a fan in my hood? IF I should how do I do that...

So I started my 60 gallon tank on a test run yesterday. After having the PCs (2 ACtinic, 2 Daylight) on for a few hours the temp rose to 85 degrees! I think this means that I am going to have to buy a chiller. ( Its unbelieveable how much heat those things can put out. The house was 74 degrees...
