I don't have room for a sump , but a hob refugium would be ok. they have a regular one and a pro series. They seem a little...

    Calcium question

    Red Sea Anemone

    A friend of mine suggested a Red Sea Anemone. What do they look like and where do I find them? Is it a specific anemone or just any anemone from the Red Sea? I have three Ocellaris clowns and want to get an anemone. Thanks! Jim

    red sea prizim

    I have a question for either one of you. I have been running the prizm deluxe skimmer for 6 months. I have to clean the intake tube every month beacause it gets too noisy.

    egg crate

    I found the egg crate. I have plenty left over. I had a glass top that I kept the front part that was the lid. I made a piece of egg crate big enough to fit the rest of the tank. I made cut outs for the skimmer, filter and cords. The egg crate was the same width of the tank and I didn't need to...

    egg crate

    I am thinking of getting a yellow watchman goby. I know they are jumpers. I am using a red sea prizm skimmer. Because of the skimmer I can't fit my glass top on my tank all of the way. I have a large opening in the back. I have read that using egg crate I can cover the openings so the fish won't...

    sand sifting goby

    I googled egg crate and came up with either stuff for a bed or something used to diffuse light. I assume it is the latter. Where do I get egg crate?

    sand sifting goby

    I was looking for a sand sifting goby that is not a jumper. It seems like every fish that I see that I like is a jumper.

    Nitrate/nitrite tests

    I'm in the middle of cycling and using the Hagen test kit, too. I am not testing for nitrates yet. I'm not sure about chemical reactions, but I was told to wait for nitrites to be zero. I would like to know if you are right.

    Allergic reaction?

    I was worried about that too. I have been keeping fw tanks for 28 yrs w/o a problem. I am starting a FOWLR tank this week. I am allergic to shrimp. If I touch shrimp my hands blow up. I bought gloves that go all the way up the arms. Everybody says to use a shrimp to cycle but I am a little...

    This RO any good?

    I purchased one and I haven't used it yet. I purchased a RO DI system on ---- so now I want to sell the tap water filter. It is just a DI filter. If you are in the NY area I would sell you mine for $20. I haven't even opened the box yet. It looks like the filter would be good, but I wanted to go...
