I understand the nitrogen cycle lol...I just have a few questions related to it that I do not know and I don't necessarily have to know. So here it goes. First off, what are the different types of bacteria even called? Do we even know that? I've read articles where types of bacteria were not...

Thanksgiving started 20 minutes ago! Whatda guys doin'? Fried turkey?

I was wondering if 4X24 watt T5HO would be adequate for a long tentacle plate coral and also if it's anemone-like appearance will make it a possible host for False Perculas. If not, I still want it...but that's just an afterthought I had. Also, they good for a 30 gallon tank, right?

Anyone have now or have had any cool teachers? I have 2 I can think of. One teacher I have for Animal Science. She'll give you partial credit for funny answers on a test..so if you forget an answer, you can make something funny up and get half credit (if she thinks it's funny). For example...

So I have a occelaris clown that is several months old and am wanting to introduce another clown to it. The one I have is pretty big I would say. So my question is, can I introduce a smaller nak.ed false percula, or does it have to be plain occelaris? Also, what size should I get? Smallest I...

So I have decent flow on my sandbed, a good filter, and I use ro/di water...why do I have algae??? I don't know for sure that it is algae, it could be cyano. In any case, it shoudn't be there. I feed a mix of differen't frozen foods that are blended together. I usually just thaw the cube in...

We're learning about cancer in biology, well everyone else is...I'm ahead of the game Anyway, my teacher said that sharks are the only animal immune to cancer and I have to say that that sounds like complete bogus to me. I thought any and every animal could get cancer. What's up? Discuss.

I don't know if you guys realize this, but if you scroll over the tabs to the right, there are a few problems. For example the 15 day gaurantee tab shows 6 day gaurantee and the repeat buyers says contact. It isn't an urgent issue obviously, but I thought you might want to know about it if you...

So I'm hooking up a bulk reef supply ro/di for drinking and aquarium water. I want to hook it up after my water softener, which I know how to do, but I don't know where to put the waste water??? Where can it go? The waste water from the softener goes all the way across the garage and up to...

What is your favorite type of candy or the coolest thing you've gotten for Halloween? What about the lamest thing? What was the coolest costume you've seen and the lamest? What was your coolest costume? The person with the coolest Halloween costume wins my respect. A bargain at any price...

I can't figure out what the heck this brownish-red plague is. My levels are perfect...my lighting is good, I use walmart ro water, I am about to get an ro/di, I use coralife salt, I am very confused. My tank has been up for say 4 months and I should not have diatoms, but what if my water...

Yeah, I know I should have a cuc by now. But here we go. Paramaters are perfect but sand is not and there is a bit of algae. It is a 29 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I have a turbo and some nassarius snails (5). I am wanting to add 2 cerith snails and 3 blue leg hermits. So, how does...

My tank is currently and steadily 82 degrees. I want to lower that number a bit. I was thinking of adding some small fans on my sump. 30 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. What kind of fans are recommended and how many? If there is another method, feel free to post it. I can't afford to...

My sand is pretty dirty. I tested me levels and I have no trates or phosphates. It appears to be ditritus buildup of some sort, but it is sort of clumpy. On top of the clumps is a bit of dinoflagellets (sp) I have quite a bit of flow I think. For a 29 gallon tank it has a koralia 2, a...

So I got some tufa rock today and I am going to add it to my system. It has been set up for a while, so is there anything special I should do. Rinse it? Or just add it directly to the tank.

In need of some serious advice. I have been trying to convince my father to go 50/50 with me on an ro/di filter, since he will be using it more often than I. I made charts and calculate the exact moment that it would pay off and how much money would save yearly, etc. No dice. So now I am...

I finally have enough to buy my own ro/di filter, but I am trying to figure out which one I want. I am thinking about a 5 stage bulk reef supply one, but I wanna know if it is worth it. I have well water and am running a water softener and a whole house filter right now. Does anyone have...

So my lfs sells tufa rock and incredibly expensive live rock. I need more rock, so is tufa rock okay? Will I need to reaquascape to put the tufa on the bottom? I probably will to make it look better. Also, can I smash the tufa rock into smaller pieces for my refugium?
