PORC PUFFER, TRIGGER AND CLEANER WRASSE IN THE SAME TANK. I AWAYS THOUGHT A CLEANER WRASSE WOULD BE A SNACK FOR THE PUFFER AND TRIGGER. DOES HE GET PICKED ON OR CHASED?

I TOO HAVE ALOT OF HAIR ALGAE, BUT SINCE I'VE ADDED A BLUE HIPPO TANG, HE'S BEEN GOING TO TOWN ON IT.

ANOTHER POSSIBLITY IS THE PUMP PRODUCING MORE HEAT THEN NORMAL BECAUSE THE FLOW IS REDUCED. IF YOU REDUCED THE FLOW BY VALVING OFF THE DISCHARGE SIDE OF THE PUMP, THE PUMP WILL HEAT UP MORE TRING TO OVER COME THE RESTRICTION. IF THAT'S THE CASE, YOU MAY WANT TO INSTALL THE VALVE IN THE INLET...

I HAVE A GLASS 55 GAL. THE MAIN COMPLAINT I'VE HEARD ABOUT ACRYLIC IS SCRATCHES. THEY SCRATCH VERY EASY, GLASS TANKS WILL SCRATCH ALSO BUT IT'S MUCH HARDER.

I TOO HAVE A BERLIN SKIMMER AND IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND. THE SKIMMER WAS TILTED SLIGHTLY BACK BECAUSE OF THE STAND I USED TO HOLD IT UP. I SLIDE A PIECE OF PAPER UNDER THE BASE SO IT WOULD TILT SLIGHTLY TOWARDS THE OUTLETS. HASN'T MADE A SOUND SINCE. IT DOESN'T TAKE...

THE CONTAINERS CAN BE FOUND AT WAL-MART, K-MART, TARGET OR ANY PLACE LIKE THAT FOR FAIRLY CHEAP PRICES. SOUNDS LIKE YOUR MAIN FILTRATION IS YOUR LIVE ROCK, YOU MAY WANT TO PUT A POWERHEAD IN THE CONTAINER WITH THE LR UNTIL YOUR READY TO MOVE, THEN PUT THE POWERHEAD BACK IN AS SO AS YOU REACH...

I HAVE TWO 40 WATT FLO AND I'VE BEEN ADDING CAROL-VITE, CALCIUM AND JUST STARTED IODIAN. THE MUSHROOMS I HAVE JUST APPEARED ONE DAY AND I WAS HOPING TO GIVE THEM A BOOST. DOES HIGH NITRATES AFFECT THEM (50 PPM)? YES I KNOW, SPELLING SUCKS.

WHAT DO MUSHROOMS NEED TO THRIVE AND MULTIPLY?

MOST SEAFOOD SPOILS QUICKLY. THAWING IS A PAIN, BUT YOU CAN PUT IT IN FRIDGE THE NIGHT BEFORE FEEDING.

SOMEONE ONCE POSTED ON HERE A RECIPE FOR MAKING SHEETS OF FOOD FOR TANGS. IT HAD LETTICE, BROCCLI AND A FEW OTHER THINGS. DID A SEARCH BUT COULDN'T FIND IT. ANYONE KNOW?

I MOVED MY 55 GAL TANK FROM THE LIVING ROOM TO THE KITCHEN FOR THE CARPET INSTALLERS. I REALIZE YOUR MOVE IS CONSIDERBLE FURTHER BUT MAYBE MY METHOD WILL GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS. I USED LARGE PLASTIC STORAGE CONTAINERS FOR THE WATER AND LIVE ROCK, MOVED THE CC FROM ONE END TO LEAVE A PUDDLE OF...

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP, LOOKS LIKE HE'LL BE ALRIGHT. MAYBE I'LL PUT HIM ON A LEASH AND TAKE HIM FOR A WALK. :D

MY PICASO TRIGGER JUMPED OUT OF THE TANK SUNDAY. I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD TILL I SAW HIS GILL MOVE. I PUT HIM BACK IN THE TANK AND HELD HIM ABOUT 4 INCHES AWAY FROM THE POWER HEAD DISCHARGE TO REVIVE HIM. HE STAYED IN MY HAND FOR ABOUT 1 MIN THEN SWIM TO THE BOTTOM. I WOULD GUESS HE WAS OUT OF...

THANK YOU FOR BOTH REPLIES.

IS A HOLESAW A GOOD WAY TO CUT A 1 3/4" HOLE IN A PIECE OF 3/16 PLEXIGLASS? COARSE OF FINE TEETH OR DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? ALL SUGESTIONS WELCOME.

MY TRIGGER DOES THE SAME THING BUT THE ANTASHA (SPELLING) AND MY MARRON CLOWN HELP CLEAN UP THE MESS.

MY PORC PUFFER LOVES SHRIMP, THE FROOZEN ONES THAT YOU GET FROM THE BUTCHER. PUFFERLOVER, WHERE DO YOU GET THE BLACKWORMS?

MY PH DROPS A LITTLE (FROM 8.3 TO 8.0) WHEN I DO A WATER CHANGE BUT NOT OFF THE SCALE. IF YOUR FISH DON'T SHOW SIGNS OF STRESS, I'D QUESTION THE RESULTS AND TRY ANOTHER TEST KIT.

I USED 1 1/2" PVC PIPE TO SUPPORT MY LIVE ROCK. I CUT SHORT PIECES AND PLACED THEM BETWEEN THE GLASS BOTTOM AND THE ROCK. IT'S A GOOD THING SINCE MY MARRON CLOWN HAS DUG TO THE GLASS. SAVED HIS LIFE AND MY PUFFER.

ANOTHER OPTION IS A BATTERY OPERATED AIREATOR FOR A LIVE BATE WELL. MOST SPORTING GOODS SELL THEM. THEY'RE DESIGNED TO CONVERT AN ICE CHEST INTO A LIVE BATE WELL. THEY RUN ON 12 VOLTS. IF YOU HAD A CAR BATTERY FULLY CHARGED, IT WOULD LAST FOR HOURS AND I SEEM TO RECALL THEY WEREN'T...
