I just have not figured out the science of the lighting. I am in need of new bulbs for my 125 FOWLR and currently have a 72" CF light fixture taking 4) 96w 34" bulbs. Currently this fixture contains 2) 10K bulbs and 2) Actinic bulbs. My question is what is my best bet for replacment bulbs? qty...

I would like to order a fish you have on special this weekend but currently have some fish in my QT tank that Iwill not have ready to take out for about a 7 - 10 days. Can I place an order now to get the special price but specify shipment to be made in 10 days? If so can I just specify this in...

I notice only a few of your livestock descriptions give a mature size range to expect from a particular type of fish. It would be nice to have the size of the fish that will be shipped as well as the expected size on average of the fish at maturity. I always jump to another fish site to find...

I will be adding items so keep scrolling down occasionally. I have for sale 2 salt buckets, Approx 60# each of substrate I have left on hand. This has been taken out of my tank about 4 months ago and stored in the buckets. I do not recall the exact type but in a search on-line it appears to be...

I have for sale 2 salt buckets, Approx 60# each of substrate I have left on hand. This has been taken out of my tank about 4 months ago and stored in the buckets. I do not recall the exact type but in a search on-line it appears to be Mixed grade Aragonite. If anyone can I.D. this or verify my...

125 gallon AGA FOWLR stocked with 3 1/2" Emperor Angel, 4" Yellow Tang, 2 Clowns, and a few Damsels. My wife woke me at 5:30 AM Thursday morning and said that the fish tank was making weird noises. I woke up as I was running down the steps and when I went in the family room with the tank I was...

Has anyone had experience with a Clown Tang? I would love to get one but wanted to see what others have experienced. I have a 125gal that has been running for about 4 years. Juv Emperor Med Yellow Tang, 2 Damsels 1 Basset

Let's see who has the oldest tank on record. Score goes two ways. 1) The oldest continuous running tank. 2) The oldest tank even if it has been shutdown for a period and restarted. Give the tank age, if it has been ran continuous or not and the tank size. Lets see who the "Old Timers" are...

I am curious about others direction on offering the best nutrition to your fish. I currently have a few Damsels, Yellow Tang, Juv Emperor Angel and Clowns in my 125 gal. All appear to be flourishing but I am not sure that my Angel should not be growing a little faster to the point of changing...

Has anyone had experience with these poweheads? I have just recently seen them on-line and in catalogs. Seem like the ticket if they work as stated and are quiet. Large movement and low energy cost which of course means low heat as well. I may give one a try. Google = Hydor Koralia Pumps I...

I have a 20gal tank I would like to use for a fuge but would like to drill it to connect it to my sump. How can I tell if it is acrylic (I can drill it easily) or glass (drilling is not an easy option). Should I just take a drill to it and see what happens? Is there a link for guidance in...

Can someone give me the low down on spa-flex tubing? Do I understand correctly that this can be glued to standard PVC fittings? I have some plumbing modifications to do (are we ever done plumbing!) and if this is correct I may give it a try to avoid 90's etc. Thanks, WW

Appreciate the input of all please! I certainly do not want to open the ever popular can of worms regarding Sand vs. Crushed Coral Substrate. I would like opinions on something between the two. I have tried sand and was not happy as it seemed fish were always digging and stirring it up with the...

Has anyone had any experience with the Berlin Classic Skimmers. Shopping around and wanted to see what others had to say about these. Thanks All, WW

I have bought a used tan kand am not sure if is glass or acrylic. Any tried and true way to tell? Scratch the bottom with a knife, Tap on it? Any guesses thanks WW

No, I do not want to open the age old discussion on which is better sand vs. crushed coral. I had sand at one time and ended up changing back to the crushed coral. I changed because my water was always very cloudy from fish stirring up the sand. This was caused by a large angel I had that seemed...

I have had a Yellow Tang in my 125gal tank for about 9 months. It is compatible with the other occupants of the tank and i am well understocked. Question is could I add possibly two more Yellow tangs? I like the idea of having a number of this to swim together etc. Would three be compatible and...

I have been considering revising the closed loop system in my 125 to try to get more flow to the bottom of the tank. I do not really think I want to just "blast" more water from the top shooting towards the bottom. Has anyone had experience with running clear PVC of some type to the bottom of...

I would like to poll all in when you perform water parameter tests in relation to water changes. Do you test: How often? Half way between water changes? Just after water changes? Just before water changes? Or are there other factors you use in deciding when to do your tests? I have always...

I have been unable to find information on the Emperor Angelfish in regards to when to expect to see the transformation from juv to adult coloration. I have owned a juv for approx 10 months that has not began to change yet. (Not sure how old it was when purchased?) 125 gallon tank w/ lots of rock...
