Hey all, I am moving and changing my lighting... I am selling my hood. It has (3) 250W MH caps with ballasts. Also has (2) 86W Actinics. I am in Chicago and looking to sell these ASAP. If interested e-mail me at Kahnsell@aol.com

Thriving 90-Gallon Glass Fish tank ready to go w/ 20 african cichlids. I am moving and selling my 90-gallon cichlid tank. It has no scratches and looks new. It is currently stocked with a happy family of julienne cichlids (10) which have been breeding for years! Also included is a pleco, a gold...

I am about to replace my Ushio 250W MHs and I'm curious if this new method will work... I used to replace one light at a time, and gradually increase the time that the light is on until it reaches 8 hours (my usual cycle). Once the new light is acclimated, I repeat the process for each new MH...

I have an orange and green montipora growing like crazy. Anyone interested in tradding frags? Let me know- Kahnsell@aol.com

It's the weirdest thing... My yellow watchman goby picks away at certain acros, causing the acro to bleach. He doesn't bother the "fluffier" acros, the monti's, or the bird's nest, but he tears apart every staghorn that I get. I just added 2 new acros last night, and this morning I noticed...

For the past few years, I've been dosing my tank with kalk, but when I mix the kalk, I am adding 1 tablespoon per gallon. It all dissolves and everything, but I just read that someone was only adding one TEASpoon of kalk per gallon. Which is correct? My calcium readings are always around 390-400.

If I put the ground probe in my sump will it still take the voltage out of my tank? Or do I have to put it in my tank directly??? Also, how do I hook up the other end of it? Can I unplug one of my 3-pronged cords, put the circle part around the circular prong of the cord and then plug it back...

Any bright ideas on on removing an anenome from a 180gal tank? It is stinging all of my zoos... THe clowns won't be happy, but it's gotta go....

Question #1: What should I do here? I thought that my acro and my monti would not overgrow one another, sort of like a demilitarized zone, but it seems that my monti is growing right into my acro. At this point, the acro is winning (which is a good thing, b/c orange montis grow like weeds...

My recent tank photos... Enjoy!

Hey all. I just ordered 2 melanurus wrasses on-line. It was nearly impossible to find them, but I have heard that they eat flatworms, and I want to try the natural method before I do yet another flatworm exit. My mandarin does not touch the flatworms at all. So I ordered 2. Does anyone...

I don;t know what just happened... I bought a nice looking Naso Tang on Tuesday, and I added it to my reef tank that is 3 years old. I have never had any diseases in the tank (knock knock), but I noticed on Friday that my new tang had a nasty looking welt on his side. It was scary looking...

I heard that there was a type of wrasse that eats flatworms. I have tried the FW Exit several times, but I'm afraid that the few remaining flatworms are growing immune. I heard that there was a wrasse that eats flatworms. Any ideas???

After doing a lot of research on this site, I bought a little yellow watchman goby b/c people on this site said it was reef safe... Well, it is NOT! One of my older SPS' died last week and I couldn't figure out what happened. So I sat down this weekend and watched my tank. Well lo and behold...

I just purchased a TDS tester when I got my new RO/DI system off e-bay. I haven't cahnged the filters on my old unit for probably a year, yet that water tests at 2. However, after running 5 gallons of my new RO unit's water, the TDS reads as 78. My tap water is at 199. CAn these readings be...

How many gobies can I add to my 175??? Do they generally get along? And will my little purple basslet pick on them?

Hey Kip. As we previously discussed, I got the Dowflake and made a 1 gal solution by adding 2 1/4 cups of the Dowflake. Pretty easy. Tomorrow I will start dosing the new solution. Is there anything specific I need to keep an eye on? It seems like a lot of the good advice I have learned in...

I got my order of DOwFlake today so I can make my own calcium additive. Unfortunately, the bag opened during shipping, and as a result, some of the Dowflake spilled on my hardwood floor... I vacuumed up as best I could, but now my entire floor is sweating. IT seems that the Dowflake turns into...

I have been dosing my tank with the 2-part C-Balance for the past year. However, I have not been dosing the Alk part at all, just the Calcium additive. My levels have been really good, but I am running out of the C-Balance. So I need a new calcium additive. Any ideas? I would post my...

My anemone is on the move. Unfortunately, my bubble coral is in his path. They are starting to touch, and the bubble seems like he is in the way of a runaway train... What should I do? I guess my only real option is to move the bubble, correct? Before:
