Is anyone else out there getting their credit card held or charge... and not receiving products from Webaqu#####.com? I have purchased lamps from Webaqu#####.com that i can't get from here... and they are talking over a month to "process" my order and i have had no dialog. They used to be...

So, I am asking for help here. I cannot Dive, or go deeper than 10' without extreme pain. So... We are looking for either Mexico or hawaii. I want to be able to walk down to the beach, stick my face in the water and be amazed. 2 years ago we stayed at the fairmont Kihea. It was that way. 3...

OK, so I know that many e-derms can split. But never expected that my black sand sifting cucumber would. About 3 months ago my black cuke was about 9" long. One morning I saw it curled up behind one of my rocks... looked about 3" long. I know it could contract so I didn't bother with it. That...

I know that a lot of people flame badly over the term watts/gals. I agree it isn't the best term to use, but useful for someone new. However, even in talking PAR ratings, specific wavelengths, nanometers, etc. I couldn't help but make an observation coming back from hawaii. I had a cheap...

I have WAAAY too much xenia in my 200. It is pulsing xenia and is going nuts. I have 4 large stalks and 6-8 small stalks all attached to my overflow. The stuff peels off very gently and very easily... it attaches over night to shells or small rocks. I have already tranferred alot to my...

I have had to catch a number of fish out of a reef tank... I just thought I would share the things that worked... and what didn't. Please add any techniques you have used that worked... or didn't. Here is what didn't work: Pop bottle fish trap. Commercial fish trap fish hook with bait... I...

So I have been running saltwater for 6-8years (lost track). I thought I had seen just about everything out of the corals/inverts/fish I take care of... till this morning. History: 200 gal. 12x 65watt PC's. 1/2 actinic. 1/2 10k. 40 galon fuge. PH 8.1 (average). NO/NH: 0, AM:0, Calcium: 450...

I just completed an auto top off system that was super easy and cheap... thought I would share what and why I did it. Why: My tank evaporates about 5 gallons per week, so I need to top off once a week at least. i am about to leave on vacation for 10 days and don't want to have to explaine to...

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this too. I have had my 85 gallon reef tank up for 5 years. I have not seen red slime since back when i used tap water... 5 years ago. Now I have it again. Water tests returned this: ph 8.0 in morning, 8.3 by mid day, 8.3 in evening Gh: 12 nitrite...

As we all search for more affordable ways to upgrade and fix our expensive hobbies we find ourselves buying Silicone for DIY and quick fixes. A guy I met recently works for Dow Corning. They area an awesome company with great products... so this is not a bash on them. He works with their...

I have a boxing crab who has gotten HUGE (at least for a boxing crab). When I bought him he only had 1 anenomie in his claws. The other claw has been empty for the most part... although he tried to replace the missing anenomie with: xenia polyp (3 days), yellow polyp (6 months), small sponge...

Here's the scoop. About 9 months ago I added calerpa to the refugium and it had aiptasia. After four years I finally had to deal with aiptasia. Then My 6-line developed a taste for my peppermint shrimp. Big Problem. For the most part I have eliminated all of them with my favorite methodes...

The first 2 picks are of a type of worm... I think. When extended it is only about 1 to 2 inches and less than 1/4 inch wide. the second pic is of a coral that at first was labeled as a zoo... and I believed them. It was closed so tight it looked like a colony of zoos... I couldn't pass it up...

The Camera is the canon digital rebel 7.1 MPX... Here's a few shots: the 1st is my clown goby in frogspawn

Just bought a new Canon Digital Rebel! Very cool. I will post some pictures soon... as soon as I figure out the all the devises and settings on this thing! Sad that I bought a camera smarter than I!

I just upgraded from NO flourescent to Compacts. But I have a question: Before I replaced my NO lights every 4-6 months... I know that Compacts last longer but am having difficulty finding exactly how long their usable life span is. I will be running 4 65 watt 10k's and 4 65 watt actinic...

Sorry for the second post but I need to specify the problem. No jokes about trapped bubbles in a bubble coral either! I had to remove my bubble coral to catch a fish. Long story. Heres what I did: I disturbed to coral so that it would retract before removing it to the bucket of tank water...

I know, I know. Big mistake. I see that now. Added a coral beauty to the tank. Every body sets pecking order and such. Long story short I had to remove a fish from my reef. 2 problems 1: had to remove bubble/pearl coral so I could catch the fish I would love to kill right now. I...

About a month ago I added moon-lights... well kinda. I found 2 blue LED lams that work on 12 volts and used an adapter. Looks awesome. I was afraid they were too bright though... the tank is pretty lit up at night now... I've noticed a few corals seem to be more active at night. My frogspawn...

While responding to the thread "HEY RSD" it occured to me that what I have been pondering just might be possible. Rather than fight all the bubbles that try to enter our sumps/refugiums why couldn't we harness those and use them like a skimmer. If you read the post I was talking about you'll...
