Why is it that PM's are not available on this board? I can use a buddy list, but that doesn't do me much good if I can't send PM's, IMHO? Just wondering what the deali-o is. Thanks.

Well, thanks to this board I succesfully treated my Achilles Tang in hypo, only to put it back in the display tank and get ich again. What is the best way to get rid of ich from my display tank? Here's what I am considering: Moving all LR and fish into my empty 55, and quarantining my tang...

Just bought a 4.5" achilles tang last night, acclimated using drip method. Fish was in awesome shape, no spots, active, eating like a pig. Anyway, today he has little white spots on his body. Appears to be ich. Eats well. Is it normal for a tang to get ich immediately after acclimation? I'm...

I'm trying to find more information about a Starkii Damsel. Can anyone help me out?

I don't post very often to these boards, but I do a lot of reading of posts here and on other places on the net. There are a lot of people out there who have a TON of very useful and appropriate information to share on the aquarium hobby. And all of these boards have a set of moderators who do...

I went to an event sponsored by one of the LFS's in my area a week ago. They had brought in one of their wholesale suppliers who deals saltwater fish, and a gentleman from the Ny Aquarium who gave an absloutely astound presentation on Lake Victoria Cichlids. Anyway, the wholesaler has travelled...

Has anyone ever kept one of these amazing creatures? I've been watching one at my LFS for weeks, and I'm so tempted to buy it for my 75 gallon. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions/tip for me?

EcoSystem filtration system seems to be rather impressive - HLLE seems to reverse when fish are kept using that method. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence supporting the claims. The website is full of "testimonials" often with misspellings and really no scientific basis - just...

Well, it seems that there is even more scientific evidence that supports the theory that the ozone "hole" is actually a naturally occuring phenoma (a cycle) rather than caused by man and "greenhouse gases". Link below: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...g_ozone_hole_1 This supports what US...

Would butterflies do OK in general with angelfish? Or are they too similar in shape and cause chaos? Currently there are assorted angels (Koran, Blue-Faced and Tangs in the 400 gallon tank.)

How do I adjust this beast to get it to settle down? The Rio 2500 it came with for circulation and the smallest Dolphin I could buy make this skimmer throw off a TON of wet wet foam - it fills the collection cup in a matter of minutes. What's teh procedure for getting this baby to make a little...

I'm not sure where to post this - but I have this idea: There are A LOT of marine/reef/fish sites in general. This one is an outstanding forum/store/community. There are a lot of great places to buy equipment/livestock other than from the LFS. Unfortuantely, not everyone out there knows about...

The xenia in my tank are going crazy, and I would like to frag them to sell them and make some room for different corals. Does anyone have suggestions for the best way to go about this?

I've got a lot of eqiuipment laying around that I'm trying to sell: Tanks: 55 gal (w/ stand) 44 tall 29 gal Other: Prizm Protein Skimmer Eheim 2213 cannister filter Normal Output Flourscent fixture and bulbs for the 55 I sell everything "as is" and make no guarantees. Everything is in great...

I was just wondering where the quotes in your signatures came from. Some of you site sources, others don't. Mine comes from my parents. They were always keeping me in line. :)

First time reefer here, have 72 bow set-up, 4" LS, 130 lbs LR. One plusing xenia, one green open brain, one mushroom. I changed sump out (old rubbermaid) and upgraded to a Tidepool 2 system. The circulation pump was off for less than one hour while the change was made. My brain and shroom look...

I converted my sump today from an old rubbermaid container to a set-up (Tidepool 2) with Bio-wheel and all that fun stuff. The circulating pump was off for an hour tops, but I kept the powerheads going. I added a baffle to the system to have a mini-refugium in the sump part of the TIdepool, and...

I was just wondering how many of you out there are Greek and what organization you're from. I'm a Zeta Psi, Alpha Beta Chapter.

Well, I just wanted to say goodbye to everyone for the next 10 days or so. I'm leaving the cold, and lately very snowy confines of the upper midewest for much warmer and sunnier white sand beaches of FL. I'm hopipng to do some scuba diving while I'm down there. I've never done it before, but...

OK, I've been posting/replying to posts in several of the forums in regard to lighting questions/statements. Of course, everyone has their own opinion on what type of lights you NEED for the different types of tanks - FOWLR, FO, Reef with Fish, lighting for anemones, etc. etc. I've been reading...
