Terry, I have a FOWLR tank that currently has some parasites in it. (Ich). The adult emporer angel and the stars and stripes puffer are the only two with the parasites. I also have 6 chromis and 1 coral beauty in the same tank (150 gallon). The last two days I have been feeding the fish krill...

All, here is something I posted in the agressive section, maybe you all can help. All, I started my 150 gallon recently and all seems to be going well, (except for the loss of a nice looking queen angel for some weird reason). Anyhow, my stock list currently consists of the following: 1 Adult...

All, I have the opportunity currently to pick up a red carpet and a green carpet anenome. I have heard the red's are very rare in stores. The price tag was $300 and I am curious if anyone has one of these, had one of these, or knows anything about them. Is it worth $300? It was pretty nice...

Is there a rule of thumb for size of refugium vs. tank size? Also has anyone had the need to use two tanks to build the sump and refugium and somehow link them together? I have enough room on one side of my stand for about a 20 gallon and was really wanting more surface area for the refugium and...

All, Martin Moe needs your help in gathering information for a conference in which he will be the key note speaker. If you will please visit my website (by clicking the link on the top) and filling out the quick 10 question questionaire. If you would do so it would be fantastic for him. Just a...

All, I was going to use a UGF system with Geo Marine (Carib-Sea) as substrate but have decided to try a DSB for my FO tank. The tank is a 150 gallon tank and I have 120lbs of this Geo Marine that I unfortunately cannot take back. Do you think it would be ok to mix the 90 or 120 lbs of the geo...

Where are you located in Michigan? Just curious as I notice there are a lot of people from Michigan on the boards. --Andy

Hey all, I have been on the reef threads for months now and my 70 gallon reef is looking fantastic and running great so far (minus a pain in the arse Sally Lightfoot!) Anyhow, this weekend I came into a 15 gallon tank and a blue lined trigger. After doing research I learned this just was not...

All, I ran across a deal today that I could not pass up. I normally keep a reef tank with corals and such and have never had an agressive FO setup. The guy had a 15 gallon tank, pc lights, filters, heater etc, and a 1 1/2" Blueline Trigger for $100. I know the tank is not that big, but with...

All, on a discussion on another board it was mentioned that Southdown the company a lot of folks use for sand in their aquarium was in many environmental lawsuits and is supposedly part of the reason they are changing names. Please look at these links: http://www.greenlink.org/gec/southdown/...

All, Last night sitting in front of my aquarium staring at everything for an hour or so as I do every night, I looked in a crevice(sp) and saw a worm. It looked like maybe it had a small feather duster type head to it. I broke out my flashlight and it seemed to retract into itself and go back...

Just curious as I just picked up a Derasa clam this weekend. I have a 70 gallon tank and the clam is probably less than 6" from the water top and maybe 9-10" from the actual lights. I have 440watts of VHO, I blue actinic and 3 50/50's. I know they need a lot of light, but I also read teh Derasa...

Hey all please look at the bottom of the anenome in this picture. Is this ok? I just dont want it getting stuck and dying on me. This is only my 2nd anenome and the other really hasnt moved. I just got this one yesterday. --Andy Please go to my website listed, there is a link on there...

Hey all just thought I would share with you my recent moonlight project I did for my tank. Although it does not simulate the lunar cycle or anything, it gives the fish a simulation of moonlight. Equipment: Go to Home ***** or something similar and pick up two light bulb sockets. I used plastic...

Well, I found a really great salt water only store that people travel far and wide to visit for their selection. Upon talking to some of the "guru's" at this place I found the system i had in place was less than adequate. The LFS failed to mention about gasses that can be created with a...

Ok, I just got my cleanup crew from SWF, and so far it looks like everything arrived ok, but of course a couple of the hermits and snails are not moving much at the moment. We shall see if they make it after I did the acclimation procedure. I have a 70 gallon tank and I ordered the Keep it clean...

All I am about to purchase the $99 package from SWF. Does SWF have a arive live guarantee? And will the inverts be ok in heat for just a little bit if they are sitting out at a guard shack at until I get home? Also should i substitute anything? Just want advice from those of you who have...
