I received my order from saltwaterfish today and have acclimated everything. I have everything in the DT's except for a brittle star. It is in the foam cooler and is stuck to one corner of it. I don't want to damage it but I need to get it into the DT. Any ideas how I can get it without injuring...

I am looking into possibly buying some micromussa corals for my 72 g bowfront which is a mixed reef. I currently have some great looking zoos, rics, which I have spread throughout the tank, I also have one large colt. I only have PC lighting right now. All of the above are thriving and looking...

I have a 72 g bowfront that contains some cool zoas and a colt coral. These have all been glued to my LR. I want to do about a 30 percent WC. Will dropping the water level below the colt and coral harm them. I know you can have the zoas out of water for a few minutes, without it harming them...

I have a PC light setup that has four 55 watt daylight bulbs, two 55 watt actinics, and 4 blue "moonlight" LEDs. The electrical outlet nearest the DT is a double recepticle. I took out ine of them and replaced it with a GFI. I also wired the other recepticle to the GFI. This protected both...

Hi gang. I have a 72 g bowfront that I have been attempting to get going. I initially filled it to over half full with IO/distilled mix. I didn't yet have my wet dry going so couldn't use the overflow. I got 100 lbs LR from SWF. I scrubbed them off and added them to the water hoping to use the...

I received 90-100 lbs of cured LR from SWF today. I have a new 72 g bowfront I am trying to get setup. I have a few questions. I mixed up about 50 g distilled water/IO last night and poured it in the tank. I warmed the water as I mixed the salt to 78-80 degrees to help it dissolve better. Took a...

I don't have a RO/DI yet. I have been using treated tap for my 30 g but I don't want to use it in my new setup. I read on these boards that you can use Walmart bottled water?
