    Tough ID

    Alrighty, its tough because I haven't got a good enough picture of it. I guess... what is more likely as a hitchhiker, a pink/red colored ric or RBTA? It is very small, a little less than a quarter inch and looks like a zoo when it is close up. When it is open it has a small bubbly surface which...

    Too much lighting?

    Is 432 watts too much for a 48" tank? Can you actually have too much? That is 8 bulbs of T5 and I could get half a fixture for 1/3 less cash. I don't know what I will be keeping in my new tank yet, still looking at options but I am sure that I will migrate toward SPS and clams eventually. Bulbs...

    Tube worm?

    Over the past week or two these very small (1/8") tube worm looking things have started to appear on my back wall. They are bleach white and the tube goes in almost a complete circle. There is a very small fan on one side. My question is... are these pests or should I not worry about them.

    Too heavy?

    Would a 90g be too much weight to be placed on the third floor? I estimate total weight with stand, rock, and sand to be around 800 which would make it a little less than a pound per square inch. (48x18 footprint)

    Koralia 3 and 150w Aqua Medic MH Pendant

    Koralia 3 is going to be $30+ actual shipping. It is unused and still in its original box. I was going to replace my two MJs with these but one was more than enough for my tank. Pendant will be $150+ actual shipping. I bought this a few months used but will not be using it for my tank, going T5...

    Is it really that simple? (fan replacement)

    I have a 24g NC DX and was wondering if it is as easy as taking a computer case fan (60mm) and just cutting out the old fan, using the same wiring and soldering the wires together? The current fans in the cube push 14.43 CFM per fan and I could easily get 24-25 CFM per fan with the upgrade. My...

    Nano Skimmer?

    I am a little worried at the amount of waste I'm getting in my 2 month old tank. This led me to look into skimmers. I understand the basics of how they work and all but I'm a poor judge in finding a good one. AquaEuroUSA Nano Tank Skimmer is the current one I'm thinking about. I have two...
