ive done two water changes since it has happened. Its been bleached for at least a week. Once a nem bleaches does the color ever come back? Pickling lime burns what it touches in the water. It has been awesome at killing the aiptasia. Not too happy about this though...

Ive had a green nem for a while, its not a bubble tip so i guess it is a green long tenticle? Well i've had an aiptasia break out and I have found out about a great way to kill them, almost too great. It is pickling lime and some of it had dropped on my green anemone now it has bleached and has...

sorry...its been a whiole since i was on a computer. it looks like everyone likes the 40 gallon breeder. I just have to save up some extra cash now...

Ive been in the saltwater game for some time now. I had the chance to set up a 65 gallon reef tank and loved it. unfortunately i needed some cash and had to down grade. Now i have gotten some things straightened out i want to SWITCH out my current take...Not really an upgrade. anyways my current...

arent these the really cheap anemones? why is that? i have a reef tank and was wondering if its okay to have these. do they eat the fish? I have another anemone, not sure what kind, i was TOLD that it was a green bubble tip...the bubble part was a straight up lie, but not the green. anyways...

alright... see the last skimmer i had was a recirculating skimmer so i didnt have this problem. i was scratching my head on this one. thanks for the help....AGAIN. lol

I have a excalibur skimmer i just bought and it wont stop running wet i guess you could say. all it does is fill the collection cup up with water. Ive tried adjusting it and what not. nothing. one thing i did find that worked was putting it in another tank i had that had a much lower water...

i have an excalibur skimmer, i dont know if anyone is familiar with these skimmers but its what i got. I can seem to get it running right. Problem is it has a rio 800 pump. It has TWO spots for air hoses but i cant seem to get it to stop running wet. It just feels the cup up with water. Isnt one...

well i bought a new ballast today. i needed a light pretty bad. I appreciate your help, im going to look at your drawings very closely tomorrow and see if i can get it hooked up with your directions. I would like to run two lamps so it could be a good thing.

so the cord that i used to plug in the actualy ballast to the outlet must have 3 wires? one consisting of a copper wire?

so what should i ground it to? theres not really a lot of metal around my tank? it looks similar to that. that one looks bigger. mine has a red and blue as the output. theres a black AND white wire that is supposed to be tied off. and then theres a black and white to hook it up to an outlet...

it is an e vision ballast. i think the IMF C 175 LH? thats what it says on the cover. Its for a 150W fixture or 175W fixture. im running the 150 i could probably try looking up a diagram online. I can get a pic but once i really looked into the directions i was able to follow them directly. so...

I bought a retro fit kit from a local guy and the wireing diagram was not the easiest to follow. Ive wired up ballast before but this one was wierd. Anyways i wired it as the directions said and i grounded it. It sparked. Before that i took it up to a GOOD LFS because it wouldnt do anything...

you could try injecting lemon juice? I bought some blue zoas on a small piece of rock. when i came home I saw that it had a green button polyp on it. Well not the button polyps are blocking all the sunlight and I had some lemon juice for an aipnasia(spelling) problem and I injected a couple of...

well i ran into some other problems with the way i wanted to do the rock. so would a 150W be enough in the middle and enough for zoas on the ends? what about if i could get my hands on two 70Watt MH fixtures. i personally do not like the radium bulbs. I like phoenix. The radium 20K bulbs I had...

there are plenty of non reef safe fish out there. Problem is they probably wont eat just those. Are the zoas or like button ployps? I know that certain colors of zoas can be more dominant and start to take over. Also I have some brown zoas with orange in the middle and they spread over a rock...

First off Im not doing a 175 Mh. not enough bulb choices. Anyways i have a 25 gallon tank and many of you are saying a 150 would support anything in that small of a tank. Wll the tank is 36inches long. so with that being said I have a clam and a couple different species of SPS to keep in this...

which is why im going with barebottom! haha most of the small fine scratches you cant see when filled up right?

sounds like you got lucky!
