ok, figures i have to buy a new one then. do i just replace the pump on it? the skimmer as whole looks good. it says Pro Clear Aquatic on the skimmer cup.

I purchased a used 90 gal tank with sump and protien skimmer about a year ago. Everything has been going fine until recently, the skimmer wont work. When I plug it into any outlet, it trips the circuit breaker. has this ever happened to anybody? do i just need a new skimmer? thanks

Any suggestions how to cut them off? And will they grow back if i just cut them from the base, leaving the little bit thats stuck to the rock?

I always clean my skimmer with salt water from the sump. dont see why you need to whip out the vinegar - does it get it any cleaner? I clean my skimmer once a week anyway...

My pulsing Xenia are taking over my tank and starting to grow on a rock where I have a buch of zoos that I really like. If I let the Xenia's do their thing, will they eat/kill/destroy the zoos? Should I cut them back or will the zoos move on their own, away from the Xenia?

I'd say prob too much lighting as well. I had a lot of green agae on my LR. I backed the lights off and now I have none on the LR. Always have green powdery alage on the glass if i dont use the magnet every other day. U might want to try getting a blennie too...they eat the algae off the rocks.

Thanks. Any thoughts on Hagen test kits, bad, good, average? My LFS guy told me the Phospate test on this one was not accurate.

I've had my 90 gal tank for about 8 months now. During the first 3 months or so, I tested my chemistry religously a few times a week. I bought the tank used and fully set up with live rock etc, so I never had to go thru a cycle. Over the past 5 months, I've tested my chemistry and nothing ever...

just the Xenias for now, they're spreading like crazy. Im in Wellington, off 441.

I still have plenty of Xenias for trade in the S. Florida area (not shipping them). reefman, i just sent you an email to your personal addy.

anyone successfully kept different species of clowns together?

any thoughts on type? tomato, clarki, another percula? or does it not matter?

Background: I had a pair of percula clowns for about 6 months - they did fine together, one got bigger than the other as I've read is normal. The bigger one started to be really aggressive to the smaller one for a while, to the point where for days the smaller clown would not come out from...

whats FMAS? wheres the meeting?

do you work at reeflovers? email me at my personal address if your interested in trading or buying the Xenias from me.

yes becareful what other fish you introduce while you have the blenny. i got a small blue tang (the dory fish), and with in 2 days the blenny took a bunch of bites out of it. i rearranged the rocks after the 1st day, but that didnt stop the blenny's aggressive behaviour. i ended up having to...

same with mine. he'll chomp the algae off the glass and rock. never eats any food i put in the tank for other fish. i have seen him occassionally take a bite out of a nori sheet that i put on a clip for the yellow tang.

Next to the Lowes on 441 and Southern. Email me at gweiss40@comcast.net if you want to work something out this weekend.

I've had a sm red starfish for about 6 months now. For the past 2-3 weeks its been missing. Typically, i'd see the starfish making his daily treck across the glass. It wasnt unusual that I didnt see it for a day or two, but it is def unusual i havent seen it in weeks. Should I start rearranging...
