Our LFS doesn't sell for 3 days and makes sure the fish is eating before they sell. They even refused to sell me a fish one time because he said he had been watching it and didn't like the way it had been doing. I usually go in the first of each week and if I find anything they will hold it for...

Not sure if this is a complete list, but these are the ones I have seen listed as sand sifters. Of course a lot will depend on what's available in your area. Diamond Watchman Goby (Valenciennea puellaris) Two Spot Goby (Signigobius biocellatus) Tiger Watchman Goby (Valenciennea wardii) Sleeper...

Actually I just used the loctite get for the first time last week. I just put a small amount on the coral, positioned it on the rock then used a shell that was in the tank to scotch it in place. Within about 2 or 3 minutes I checked and it was holding securely so I removed the scotch. This has...

Can't help you on what color it should be since I have always bought locally so far. But as far as the rubble in the DT goes, if you have a jawfish or goby, they will love it. I put a pile of rubble on one side of our 110 and our goby has made a very complex system of tunnels out of it. We...

Sounds normal. On average it takes 4 gallons of waste water for 1 gallon of usable water.

$400 for a report card, definitely can't let my kids see this thread. LOL

You could simply use 3 separate single timers, or if you wanted an all in one unit you could go with something like the Coralife Dual Powercenter. It will turn your PC on when your Moonlights go off, then has a second timer for your MH.

We got a sleeper gold head goby 3 or 4 weeks ago and ended up with an instant "snowstorm". Water has finally started to begin clearing up over the last few days. Hopefully, this trend will continue.

I have a Seaclone 100 and 150. So far haven't had any problems and both have worked well. I did modify the 150 resulting with even more production.

That's awesome!! Thanks for the pics.

Might get more answers in the Aggressive Fish section. I am by no means an expert, but Triggers are definitely not supposed to mix well with Lions. The Clown Trigger could be a big concern in and of itself. From most reports I have read, he should be a species only tank. I know there are...

Did the same thing with our 110. About a week after I had it set up, decided it would look much better with the back painted. I had about 4.5" of space behind the tank to work with and used latex paint and roller. Took my time and worked out fine. Of course, no plans to put off painting the back...

Okay, now I am successfully confused about this clown. This looks exactly like the one I bought recently that immediately began hosting my LTA (Yeaaa!!) When I bought it, it was being sold as a B&W Oscellarus. Just thought it must be some variant with yellow fins. Anyway, by no surprise found...

I have had one of mine to stop spinning. After disassembling to clean and check it over, I found that 2 teeth had broken from one of the gears. No hope for that one now. Not sure what would make all of yours stop though. Did you make sure the deflector was seated all of the way down on the gear...

Sounds normal. I believe it takes something like 4 gallons of waste water to make 1 gallon of RO/DI water. Guess the water bill will depend a lot on the rates in your area and how much water you need for weekly water changes.
