    Anyone from the Chicago area

    I'm in the northwest suburbs and the best place to go around here is Oceans Floor located in Lake in the hills. They have a website. They've got the most amazing selection of corals I've ever seen and there's thousands to pick from. He's very picky about his corals and he's also very reasonable.

    Halide not working....

    How long will corals survive without the halide lighting? My ballast burned out last night and they are sending me a new one which won't arrive till Saturday.

    Instant Ocean

    I had the same problem until I was told to switch salt brands and try Coralife. Wa La.....no more calcium problems. I've heard from quite a few people who've had low cal levels with Instant Ocean. A lot of people use it with no problems so maybe I got a bad bucket.........it happens!

    Can I have a goby with a newer tank?

    I don't have a cover on my tank but my goby never swims around. He always sits right in front of the cave opening guarding the entrance. He won't even venture too far for food, I have to make sure I get the food close to him. He won't even move away when the shrimp crawls right over or under...

    Can I have a goby with a newer tank?

    QT dilemma

    It's a Marine Reef kit, I'm not sure of the brand I think it's Red Sea. So your saying that's ok for a nitrate level? I thought it should be lower since my main tank is 0.
