I am in Coral Springs and for some reason my heater didn't kick on. Tank got down to 74. The funny thing is my leathers have been stressed for the past few weeks and I haven't been able to figure out why. Normal tank temp is 81-82. With the lower temp they have perked right up! So at least...

I am using one. Skims good when it works. Pump keeps shutting down. Trying to get a warrantee replacement now.

Originally Posted by cmaxwell39 I am very happy with the live rock that I purchased from here. There was a good variety of peices in both sizes and shapes and it was very pourous rock. I would recommend it. I'd recommend the rock from swf.com as well. I've bought about 50lb in two shipments...

My spotted hawk ate a cleaner shrimp about 5 minutes after I put it in the tank.

My ASM Mini-G keeps shutting off. After a while it comes back on. I assume it is going off on thermal overload. The skimmer sits in my fuge. Nothing appears to be blocking the intake. I had it apart two weeks ago and it was clean as a whistle, except for the collection cup of course. Anyone...

Would a canister filter be considered a "closed-loop"?

Anyone have any ideas on hiding a top off tank? I don't have room in my stand and I really don't want a bucket of water sitting next to my tank. Thanks, Rick L.

Just installed a 10 gallon fuge for my 46 gallon bow. The fuge came with a Gen-X 4100 internal which is just too loud and flows too much. I've done the rubber tubing, rubber pad, suspend in tank thing to reduce noise, but it's still too noisy for me. I've also adjusted the flow rate on the...

It's probably with my brittle starfish and all those single socks I am missing!

Anybody have an Oceanic 46 bow front with the stand? I am trying to figure out what fuge will fit in the stand. I wanted to get the CPR Aquafuge Pro Small, but I don't think it will fit in the stand. I don't have time to build one right now, so I want to buy one. Thanks, Rick L.

I've been looking to buy a fuge. Normally, I'd just build one, but I don't have time right now. I've come across a number of them that have a built-in protein skimmer. Any one have any thoughts on this? Do these built-in skimmers work? Thanks, Rick L.

Got my cleaning crew from swf.com. I was very impressed with the packing. Acclimated everyone and they are moving around my tank right now. Thanks swf.com!!

I just ordered 12 lbs of live rock from swf.com, should be here Sat. I plan to make a reef tank, so I will be adding a lot more live rock. I don't have any powerheads, and I have been concerned about water flow. I was going to try to add another outlet on the discharge side of my FilStar to...

So, should I pull both my Emperors? Wouldn't bother me a bit, I think they are ugly. I'll definately remember not to clean all the filters at the same time. Thanks, Rick L.

If there is such a thing. I got a 46gal setup from a guy getting out of the hobby. It has two Emperor 280 bio-wheels and a Filstar xP2 canister. The tank has about 7lbs of LR, 2 snails, five fish and possibly live sand. I am planning to add lots more LR and significantly upgrade the cleaning...

Yup, yellow-backed Damsel. Thanks!

He's seems awfully big for a Damsel, but what do I know. He's really aggressive. Pesters my Cinnamin Clown all the time. I'll look up Damsels and see if I can find him. Thanks, Rick L.

New to SW. I got the fish with the yellow stripe as part of the setup I bought from a guy getting out of the hobby. Need help identifiying it. Thanks, Rick L.
