Thanks everybody. Bevo77

I ordered a reef package from SWF.com last night and need to clarify the shipping schedule. I looked for a phone number, but I can't find one. Does anyone know the phone number ? Maybe an e-mail address for the order processing people? If so, please post as I really need to talk to them before...

Thanks for all the replies. Reefcrazy, I THINK I got a green Carpet Mushroom ? This is exactly why I need a good book. Bevo77

Could not wait. I ordered "Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman. Hope it is a good one. It should be here by Wednesday. Let me know if anyone has a review of this publication. Thanks, Bevo77

Hello everyone, I can't stop myself. I am going to order a couple of reference books on corals and/or reef aquariums tonight. I just placed my first coral in the tank today and I can't take my eyes off of it. What are some good reference books with lots of pics and info ? Please reply if you...

I am worried that my newest additon to the tank may not fare well. He seems real healthy and looks great, but only snipps at live brine, frozen misis shrimp, formula 2 and special pygmy angel food. He is constantly pecking at the rocks. How do I know if he is getting enough to eat and what other...

I am into collecting fine firearms. I am a licenced dealer (FFL).I have been into this new hobby for 1 month and have already sold two nice rifles to help finance this addiction.

Still the question remains. Do you think the Blenny could be the culprit ? Has anyone ever heard or a bad Blenny ? I don't want to feed him anther six-line lunch ! Thanks, Bevo

UPDATE !! Another blueleg is dead. MAULED. Earlier, I stated that my missing six-line wrasse was the only fish I had in the tank. I lied, or forgot to mention that there is a 4 1/2 in.lawnmower blenny in the tank. I did not mention him because he was part of my original clean up crew that...

Well, I need some help. Do fish just disappear? I recently cycled my tank and added my first fish, a six line wrasse. It was doing fine for 2 days and then, it was gone. I thought maybe it had died and was really upset. I looked everywhere for it and even took my lr reef apart. No fish ! I ran...

I am new to this hobby and need some advise, I have recently cycled a 75 gal tank with 100 # lr and a 3 in. ls bed. I have a wet/dry filter and want to install a protein skimmer. My question is, where do I place the skimmer? Do I place the skimmer between the overflow box and the filter inlet...

I went to my LFS to buy a test kit as I am in the finishing stages of cycling my 1st SW tank. When I got there, a shipment of Fiji lr was being unloaded. Ther were 12 boxes, each weighing between 40-45 lbs. The boxes were covered with air freight stickers and it was aparent that they had arrived...

Thanks to all for the help. I still need a suggestion on a glue or tank safe epoxy. If anyone knows of a good way to "weld" a reef together, please let me know. I am going to spend most of the day tomorrow biulding my reef. I think I will have a hard time sleeping tonight. Thanks, Bevo77

Thanks fshhub. What kind of epoxy does not have toxic substances in it ? Can you recommend one? Another question. If I have my sandbed all set, do I bury the rock to the bottom, or do I set the rock on top of the sand. If I set it on top, will critters dig under the reef and cause a cave in ...

My tank is nearing the end of cycling and I have been curing 125 lbs of lr in another tank. It consists of Fiji, Tonga, and some slab/table rock. My questions are: 1) How do you arrange the rocks ? Towards the front or back. Do you build it high in the center, or straight across? What goes on...

Sounds like you are in the same stage of cycling that my 75 gal is going through right now. I have had my tank up and running since 20 February and 3 days ago, I started to get the Diatom Bloom. Boy is it ugly. I am still cycling, but had to add a couple of Bluelegs just so I would feel like I...

I just read a thread about "Things that come out only at night". What is the best way to observe at night. I have heard that red light works. Does it ? If you use a regular flashlight, does everything head back for cover ? Sounds like a lot of fun. I have a feeling that I may have a hard time...

Thanks for the help. I am glad to see that there are so many people from the Houston area that watch this forum. I am going to make a weekend of visiting the LFS's that were recommended. Should be fun and I hope not too expensive. Thanks, Bevo77 Greg

Hello everyone, Please give input into any good LFS in the Houston area. I am new to this hobby and want to find a good local source for supplies, livestock, etc. I have been told that there are good and bad in this industry and would rather find a good one to start that take the lumps with...

Thanks to all who replied. It is nice to find a forum where you can post a question and receive serious answers, a little humor, and none of the usual internet pranks. Thanks for the warm welocme and I look forward to being part of this community as I am really getting hooked on this stuff...
