I have a large bristle worm in my tank that I came acrossed last week. I have been trying to ID it and just saw one on one of the posts. It was ID'd as a coral eating BW and 2 of my small clams were eaten recently. I think this guy is about 10-12" long and I have only seen him once. I am trying...

I bought a new clam about 3-4 months back and it died about a week or so after I had it. I chalked it up to hermits or my porcelian crab. Hermits are in my sump and my porcelians were about 3 yrs old so they both died. I bought a new squamosa last weekend. This morning I woke up and he too was...

I just bought these bulbs about 3 months ago and one is taking 30 seconds to fire up some times. Sometimes it fires right away, but sometimes it takes awhile. I have an electronic ballast. What do you guys think bad bulb, bad ballast, or not a big deal becuase it still works just fine?? Thanks.

Let me know what you guys think of this product. All reveiws seem good, but just looking for a few reveiws from long term users. Also it's going on a 75 gallon, but I am probably going to upgrade to a 125 at some point. I live in NY and run A/C so cooling load will be quite low. Thanks and have...

I have come acrossed a used chiller at less than half of what it sells for. The guy garuntees its in perfect working condition-Like New. Also it's about a year old and is a prime chiller. How long do chiller last for. This particular chiller would be over sized for my tank, but I may upgrade at...

I am looking to simplify things and came acrossed the walt smith natural calcium coral and live rock food. It seems like a good idea and was wondering if anyone uses it and what there results were. It says it's all natural and made from sea water and other natural ingredients. Thanks in advance...

I have had a maxima clam now for about 2 years and he has been doing great and still looks great. I just recently moved him to a new aqarium because I am in the last stages of selling off a few corals from the tank he was in. I am taking that tank down. I noticed today that he has a small slit...

Just like the title says looking for a bow front aquarium. I live in Buffalo, NY 14150 so it would have to be close. If you have one please e-mail me at Mscarpena@msn.com.

I got a tiger striped scolymia for $20.00 a couple of weeks ago and it doing great. Then today my wife and I went there for my B-day and I got a pylie wrasse for $15.00, one beautiful fish and a 6 head with one baby dendrophylia for $75.00. They are all doing great and eating. I can not believe...

SO I am thinking of a 1/10 PH chiller for my 75 gallon reef tank. I see both prime and pacific coast have good reveiws and are similarily price. Anyone out there have any experience with either or any thoughts. This would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am looking for a chiller for my 75 gallon reef tank. I really do not want to spend a ton of money, but I know they are not cheap. Looking for one in the $400.00 range. I have 2 175 mogul MH with 2 electronic ballasts. I also run an air conditioner in my house and keep my house at 80 all summer...

Building off my last thread I can not stand it when people buy things that will just wither away and die in home aquariums. There are so many things that are beautiful and will flourish in home aquariums. So lets post stuff here that people should not buy or if you have had success with anything...

I hate seeing these because I feel people should do their homework before buying things to make sure they can take it or survive in home aquariums. Some things are just not siuted for home aquariums and should not even be sold in the hobby. SO DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING. Or you...

I have a 75 gallon aquarium set up for over 6 years now and never had any algae issues what so ever. Now I know more, take better care, and have better equipment I am getting some hair algae. Go figure huh. I never used an RO, but bought one about 2 years ago and now that all I use. Also I have...

I hate the look of powerheads in tanks. Also they fall off all the time suction cups suck. Also I do not want to replace all my MJ with Korella's to big and it would be expensive. What I am thinking of doing is getting an oversized return pump and using PVC return line with a center retunr...

I got a Medusa worm very cheap from my LFS and planned on putting it in my 75 gallon reef tank and my copperbanded butterfly started to eat him. I also have a 46 gallon reef tank, but my concern is it will not get enough food in the 46. Also how toxic are these guys if they die or get hurt. I...

I have had a reef tank for over 6 years and I have only had one fish jump out of my tanks until the last 6 months. Over the last 6 months I have had 4 fish jump out. I have not added any new fish that are chasing any of the fish. 2 were wrasses, a firefish, and beleive it or not my madarin...

So I went into my LFS today to buy a Kole tang and the only one he had was sick. SO the guy said if you want to give him a chance I'll give him to you for free otherwise he was going to kill him. I decided to give him a chance I figured he's free what the heck. He does not have any disease that...

I have 2 hammer corals one I have had for 4 years the other for 5 years. Started off with 1 and 2 heads now they range from 20-30 heads and were super healthy. I used Reef Crystals, but have heard nothing but good things about Tropic Marin so I changed from -- to TM. I also posted what people...

My LFS has a nice sized 5" powder brown tang. Me and the owner are pretty tight because I buy lots of stuff from him. I asked him how much he wanted for it and he said $20.00. I said wow I'll take it, they are normally about $60.00 around here. It has no ick or any blemishes and appears to be in...
