My return pump just went out- it came with my reef tank used and I can't find that same brand anywhere... it's a Beauty brand and "CAP-2200 Volt:115/60 Hz t/hr: 2200 Watt: 33W" What would be a suitable replacement??? I would like to buy one and get next day delivery as I don't want my reef going...

I have had a coralife light on my tank now for just over one year (twin 250 MH and twin 96 acintics) but the acintics (spelling?) are now not working right... I hear what sounds like a short when I flip the switch to turn them on... if I leave them on they eventually short and go out...

I have a three year old 75 reef that always has problems with high nitrates and low alk/calcium. If I do an 10-14 gallon water change every few days (3-4 days!) the problems go away and everything thrives. If I do water changes every other week the water quality just goes on a continuous down...

If a guy bet another guy that he would lose ten pounds BY Jan. 1st 2008 when do they do the weigh in to make the bet official. On the day of Jan. 1st 2008? Dec. 31st at midnight 2007?

I have an adult pair of Domino Damsels that are free to a good home. I don't want to deal with the hassel of shipping but they have to go. Come and get them, central Wisconsin, and they are yours. I have too many fish in my 75 reef and the water perameters are showing it! It's near emergency...

I am by no means an expert but I have a little bit of SW experience and in the years that I have been in the hobby I'm not sure that I have ever had PERFECT water perameters, I keep logs of all my water tests and everthing I do from water changes to nitrate levels to livestock... everything and...

Just happened to walk by the tank and found out I have one huge bristle worm in my tank, it had it's mout end inside a snail shell eating away, I found an empty snail shell earlier this week also. This worm seems to secreate (sp?) a mucous coat in areas, I have seen this mucous a number of times...

I was at a local shop the other day when they got a shipment in. There they are going through the boxes like little kids wondering what they all got. They said they could request more of certain types of things but in general each box was a mystery pack. That's when I thought man... there...

I need your help. Six months ago I got a 75 Gal FOWLR set up for next to nothing, loaded with LR and a nice sump ect.. I finally got around to taking out the CC and replacing it with LS about a month ago. I upgraded to metal halides at Christmas and a couple of weeks ago bought twin seio 1500's...

I have two very large old Domino Damsels in my 75 reef that I've been trying to give away forever.. no luck. The smaller of the two is the size of a silver dollar (his/her body is anyways) and the other one is almost double that size. They have always been together but they didn't hang out or...

title says it all, have this big bunch of green mushrooms, then I spot this sponge growing, few weeks later I notice a feather duster growing from the same spot.. kind of cool

Here't the transformation through the last few weeks- 1st pic, how I bought the tank, 2nd pic, what I've done since (taken out CC and replaced with LS, and upgraded from couple hundred watts PC to 500watts MH with twin 96 watt pc acintics w/LED moon lights)

I know my chances of finding somebody local that would actually want these is one in a million but here goes anyways- 1st off, will not ship. What I have that I would give away for free- two domino damsels, one is huge and affraid of nothing, very aggresive, two three striped damsels, and two...

If you learn from your mistakes I should be near genius at this point... I think I did it again. I have a 75 Gal that I just switched from CC to sand and did a major light upgrade because I want more than anything to raise SPS but I'm not getting any until my set up is perfect! I had the return...

Okay, my tranistion from 75gal FOWLR with CC substrate to reef with LS is complete, I now have the proper lighting and a sand bed (thank God!) My question is... I have slightly over 2" of LS, what will I need to maintain that? Would sand loving snails still be a good idea? Should I just vacum it...

I'm in the process of switching from a crushed coral substrate (fowlr) to a reef set up in my 75 gal. Most everything is ready for the big change now, new lights in place etc... I have some huge tubs to put my LR and fish into... all set except for: What sand to get? I don't want live sand, I...

Several months ago I got an entire set up that had been up and running for three years- 75 gal with wet dry, skimmer, LR, the whole nine yards for $200, I couldn't pass it up. I got it home and set it up as it had been for lack of time and money, just left it alone. The tank has a crushed coral...

I have a 75 gal. fowlr being converted to reef. I ordered the aqualight pro (twin 250 MH and twin 96 watt t-5s) tank is 20" deep. Will this be enough for the tougher to keep corals?

First pics of my tanks- 1st one 29 gal reef, second 75 gal fowlr, soon to be reef. Sorry about the pic quality, I've read the tips on here and taken hundreds of photos but I haven't been able to come up with much. 29 gal reef set up for two years and has far more than what the picture shows, no...
