Terry B and Beth, There has been an ongoing discussion in the reef section on ridding a tank of curing LR of about 30 or so visible flatworms. Some have suggested a FW dip of the LR, yet others have said not to. This really isnt a disease question, but I thought with your knowledge on tank...

OK, I followed you all's advice, and got the turbo upgrade kit to go with the used berlin classic skimmer I got off of ----. Now the fun (and wet) part. I plumbed up the intake from the pump to the bottom inlet. I also plumbed the two ports on the top as returns. Is this right??? The reason I...

Is anyone else having problems getting a Salifert Ca test kit? Ive been waiting over a month, and every store is on backorder. Including online stores. Anyone know whats going on?

im getting a used berlin classic and need to get a pump for it. which one should I buy, or does it matter? [ September 20, 2001: Message edited by: @knight ]

My tank has looked great up till about the last week. The back side of the tank still looks fine, but on the front side starting on the glass and going to the rock, ther is a rust colored coating on the sand. it is not on the rock, and does not resemble cyano, from what I can tell. Water...

I am in the process of purchasing a used berlin classic skimmer from an auction for $61.00. link to the skimmer I'm buying in any case, when I bid on the auction, I did not realize that this is an in-tank skimmer. With a 30 gal, I would like to use what little space I have for water and...

how agressive are theys guys? will they munch down on my clean up crew, or will they be ok because of their size. I am wanting a cool fish in a 30 gal, and decided against the snowflake eel, as I like a cleanup crew to do my scrubbing for me.

Is there anything I can do to control the color of the coraline that grows on my LR? it seems that the dark maroon is overtaking my bright purples and white patches. or is this something that I really cant control?

Is there a small puffer that will live happily in a 30 gal tank?

Any oppinions on them, they look nice, and are cheap, but do they do they get the job done???

I know there have been a lot of posts on this before, but my question is a little different. Most all of us have had a bout or 2 (sometimes an ongoing WW3) with hair algae. I am wondering what solutions have been effective for you all in controlling this problem? i.e. what worked?

I just finished cycling my tank with LR. I am letting it set for a while more, just to be sure and feeding the sand brineshrime to keep the cycle up with nothing in the tank. All readings are good (have not checked phosphates-dont have a test kit) temp is 77 and it is a 0 gal w/ DSB 144w PC...

@knight asks............. ;) I read the thread about imp. angels and agressive tanks. Grouperhead recalls you wanting to put one in your agressive tank but decided against it. Would you mind telling me what changed your mind? aaron

Guy at my LFS swears that during a cycle you should leave the light on the system full power 24/7 while the system cycles. Said it did something to the bacteria, is he just BSing me or is it recommended?

What are the thoughts on when to hook up the skimmer? I have heard conflicting stories. Just set up a 30 gal reef tank. the rock I got had some die-off because ALL the water drained out durring shipping. (FedEX's fault) Anyway, the rock had some smell, but not real bad, so I used it anyway. I...

I added 100 LBS of Southdown sand (rinsed) to a 30 Gal tang then a 20 LB bag of Natures Ocean LS. That was 3 days ago. I have an emperor 400 running and my water is not clearing up. Any tips or suggestions? O knew my water would look cloudy for a while, but i explected it to settle down by...
