I'm going to be purchasing some zoanthids. How quickly do they grow? Do I have to frag them, or do they just magically appear? CodeRed

There are a few days left in the auction. The current bid is $50, and the Buy It Now option is gone because a bid has been placed. Thanks, Code Red

I used to have a freshwater aquarium, and I had some leftover 5-in-1 test strips that I used when I started my saltwater tank. (The strips could be used for either, and had different "color cards" for the different tanks.) However, I couldn't get the colors to match up in a suitable manner. So...

I think a 2.5 gallon is a bit small for fish. However, my experience is that inverts are much more fun to watch... and I think it'd be possible to keep those. I'd actually recommend getting a 6 gallon JBJ Nano Cube. They're around $85 on a lot of sites. Then you could *possibly* fit in a...

I bought my Fission Skimmer a few days ago, and it arrived today. A few observations for those of you purchasing one, and a few questions for those of you that have one... OBSERVATIONS: -- The elbows cracked shortly after I put them on. I've heard this happens a lot. I emailed Current USA...

I have a 30 gallon set up in St. Louis, MO, that is up for sale on ----. You can either bid there or make an offer here, and then I'll take the auction down (I'd prefer the former). It doesn't have strong enough lighting for a reef tank (nor does it have a skimmer), but it makes a great...

I'm going to start adding supplements to help my new corals. I'm considering purchasing SeaChem Reef Complete, Reef Plus, and Reef Builder. Here's the question... I currently add Kent Iodine for my inverts. However, Reef Plus already has iodine, among other things. Should I discontinue my...

I had success with Kent Poly Ox, although I hear there is a Red Slime Remover that works well. The biggest difference, however, was made by decreasing the amount of time the lights were on. Good luck!

I'm going on vacation for ten days, but I'm worried about my 12g Nano Cube Deluxe. I only have snails and liverock in it, so if something went wrong, its not a tragic loss (wish not to put my damsel in distress, I returned it to the LFS for store credit). But I'd still like to keep the progress...

Yes, I correct myself, it only has 48 watts. Any advice on the supplements?

Thanks for the advice. The 12 gallon deluxe comes with 96 watts of PC lighting. I understand this is good enough for most soft corals.

I just set up a JBJ 12 Gallon Nano Cube Deluxe a few weeks ago. The tank is fully cycled, and in a couple of weeks, I'm going to add corals. First, however, I need a little help. I'm going to add green mushrooms, yellow polyps, and a few zoo frags. Are the appropriate corals for a beginner...

What is an ATO, and how do you make one?

My clownfish is sick. He's swimming straight up (head towards the top of the tank) and has a white patch on either side. This developed very suddenly. I woke up, my tank was cloudy, and he was sick. It is a 12 gallon nano cube. 12 lbs of liverock, no protein skimmer. NH4, NH3, NO2, NO3, pH...

I just purchased a 12 gallon JBS Nano Cube. It is the deluxe model, complete with 48 watts of PC lighting. But I need help setting it up! I've run my 30 gallon tank for a few months now, and I'm looking to move a lot of its livestock over to the nano. I currently have a percula clown, a blue...

I'm considering the purchase of a 6 gallon nano cube. My LFS is offering a great deal. I'm wanting to put an anemone in it, but it only has 3 watts per gallon (18 total watts) lighting. Is this enough lighting for a small clam and an anemone? (Florida Condi) Also, can both species survive in...

I currently operate a 30-gallon aquarium, but I'm considering a switch to the 12-gallon JBS nano. I have just a couple of questions... any help is appreciated! How does one install a heater in the aquarium? Also, I occassionally have to leave town for 2-3 days at a time for work, and I rely on...

I have a 20W setup, and I'm looking to get a new bulb. What is the best one for a fish only 30G tank? I'd like it to look white (I don't like the blue bulbs). I keep seeing 10000K, 20000K, etc. What does that mean? What spectrum of light is the best?

I am considering the purchase of a Visi Jet Protein Skimmer. It is cheap, but does it work? I have a 30-gallon aquarium. No corals, only fish. (I do have 35 lbs of Live Rock, however.) Does it make a lot of noise? Does it sit inside the aquarium?

What is the best type of saltwater mix to use? I've been using Instant Ocean. I have a 35 gallon tank, 35 lbs of liverock, no protein skimmer, VHO lighting, and I use filtered water. CodeRed
