Anyone know if sexy shrimp (established) are compatible with Peppermint Shrimp? I've heard that the peppermints may help to control aptasia. Cannot do a butterfly as it is a nano. Thanks, Tom

Installed my Sapphire skimmer into the middle chamber of my Biocube today. Went pretty smooth. Had to get the Dremel tool out to remove the back lip though so it would fit. Some micro bubbles but that is normal temporarily. We will see if after a couple days if I start collecting skimmate. Only...

Anyone know where a guy can find replacement bulbs for a 14 Biocube? 13 inch 24 watt 10000k. None locally and cannot seem to find on the net. Thanks.

I have a 14 gallon Biocube and am in the process of installing the sapphire skimmer in the middle back chamber. I removed half the balls today and will wait two days to remove the rest with a water change in between. I am afraid of spikes. Is half at a time alright you think? Maybe an additional...

Longtime lurker. Finally had the ambition to log in! My 14 gallon Biocube has been up and running for about a year now. We absolutely love our 2 sexy shrimp. Always out front and doing their humpty hump dance. Once I figure out how to resize and post pictures, I will post some. My shipment...

I was thinking of drilling through the floor under the stand and having all my goodies on shelves in the basement. You know fuge heater etc. down there to keep from crawling around on the floor evertime maintanence is needed. Would this work? What kind of MAJOR pump would be needed to get water...

I would like to drill a hole through the floor under the stand into the basement storage room and keep all the workings down there on shelves. That way there would be no kneeling(bad knees and back) every time I need to do work on the fuge,skimmer etc. Anyone have this setup? would it work you...

If you had a 125 gallon reef, would you hesitate to go with two tangs or just stick with one? Love the purple, but I also would love to have a hippo or one of the other striking fellas. Maybe clown, powder blue etc. If you think 2 would be ok, which one would get along best with the purple and...

Since Tang questions seem to be all the rage, here's one more. One of my favorite fish is the GORGEOUS purple tang. What do you all think about keeping one if he is in a low stocked 125 gallon? I know they need the swimming room and I was going to keep fish population to a minimum. Thinking...

O.k. You guys all seem pretty sharp, so here it goes, What is a fuge? Why is it needed and where do you put it? Thanks, I have used deductive reasoning to figure out all the other abbreviations that are used here but need someone to teach me about fuges before i get my 92 corner. Thanks and...

Anyone know a good reputable LFS in the greater Milwaukee area or Racine/Kenosha

What kind of water do you use to mix with your salt for your reef tank? We are on a well with a water softener. Whats the best way to go for mixing and for just topping off? Thanks in advance. I have lots of ?s, you'll probably get sick of me! LOL

Going to set up a 92 corner tank with all the live rock, sand etc. Its going to be on the 1st floor of the house. does anyone think with all that weight, that I should do any re-enforcing of the floor joists in the basement or am I just being overly paranoid? I've heard some people put jacks...
