Got a decent pic of my naso tonight and thought I'd share. The lines you see aren't on the naso but are scratches in the tank glass: And here is a closeup pic of my clown enjoying his home:

I'm looking for comments from the below list of fish I would like to put in my 125. It is currently FOWLR but eventually it will be a reef. I'm trying to plan ahead with the fish so I don't have to remove any later. I'd also like to know about order of introduction into the tank if anyone...

I've got an ARO electronic VHO ballast that will run up to 4 bulbs. I think generally people use 4 4' bulbs on these. I've got a 6' tank. Is there any reason I can't use 4 3' bulbs? I was thinking of running them end to end. The ballast will handle up to 440 watts and 16 ft of bulbs. This...

I'm on the last steps of connecting my inwall 125 to a 55 sump/refugium. The 125 is drilled in each corner. Instead of pvc I'm trying to use clear tube. I bought the tube from a local hardware store. It seems to be too heavy. It is pulling the lid off the sump. I don't know if tubing I...

I've had a devil's hand in my tank for about 7 months. It was about 6-8 inches across with polyps appearing daily. Within the last 2-3 days it has started to shrink and turn grey. I've see it turn grey on one corner or another in the past and would always come out of it. Today it is totally...

Sorry for the quality of the picture but I took this at night and it was hard to get it in focus. This thing is clear, almost jelly fish like, with a couple of short tube like things sticking out. It doesn't seem to move any, at least it has been in the same place for several days. Thanks.

I've got three of these in my tank and I'm not sure what they are. They generally only come out at night. Thanks for the help.

Here are 4 pics from my tank. I really like it when they come out good. Thanks for looking. Picture 1:

I've been using a Seaclone 100 for about 7 months. It has been working fine until this weekend. It is pouring small bubbles into the tank. I took it out and cleaned it, checked the powerhead, and everything looks fine. I put it back in the tank and the same thing happens. I've taken it out...

I started a 55g tank in my office on December 30. I put a raw shrimp in on January 2 to start the cycling. I used RO/DI water and have added 55 lbs of LR. It has 40 lbs of aragonite for the base. I have done three water tests (1/4, 1/7, 1/12) and all have given the same results: PH = 8.2...

I am setting up a 55g tank in my office. I tried to think of everything that might happen before setting up the tank but didn't think about the occassional power outage. In the 5 years we have been in this building the city has turned off the power twice to test something in the street. They...

He is a tough one to get a picture of so I feel good to get this one. He looks like he is grinning :D

I guess it is wanting out :)

I am setting up a 55g in my office and have been thinking about fish to put in it. I have always liked the looks of the valentini puffer. My question is this - if you put a puffer in a tank what do you use as a clean up crew? I've heard puffers eat snails, crabs, etc. so I don't know what a...

I got an early Christmas present - a 55g for my office. When I started the 58g I have at home I used tap water, then added the salt in the tank. Now I have a RO/DI unit. I know it would be better to make up the water using the RO/DI but should I add the salt in the tank and mix it or in the...

I'm trying to post a jpg that is 75K. I keep getting a message that it is too large, something about 200 X 200. The lead message in this forum provides help as to posting pictures and says they need to be less than 100K. At the bottom of the page where you post, it says the pictures have to...

I took a picture of this last night. I'm guessing it is a bristle worm but could you tell me for sure? I've seen it the last few nights. From what I can tell there are either two or it is about six inches long as I have seen the same thing come out of a different part of the same rock at the...

I bought a new RO/DI unit and made some water last weekend. I have been circulating it for a week. Today I was checking the parameters and the Ammonia is at 1.0. I was expecting the RO/DI unit to make water which is perfect to put in the tank. Is something wrong with the RO/DI unit? Should...

I purchased a torch coral about two months ago. When I first bought it the color was reddish with white tips. Now, the red is gone and it is all white. It still comes out daily but has no color. Is this normal or is there something wrong with it? Thanks.
