    Protein Skimmer

    I accidentally broke my Prism Protein Skimmer, which i'm not all that sad about because the thing didn't work well at all, and am looking to buy a new skimmer for my tank. What is the best skimmer on the market right now for a 30 gallon tank that is under $250.

    Mh??

    That bulb is 4000k which is too low for a SW aquarium, unless you plan on an algae tank.

    lps/softie lighting

    They don't say how long it will take to ship, and shipping looks like it will be expensive...I have heard from other people that say they are trustworthy, but I think I'm going to keep looking to see if I can't find a cheaper source. I'll keep you posted if i find anything. -Scott

    lps/softie lighting

    seawatec.de does ship internationally, it can get to be annoying trying to use their translater to change all of the german to english, but as of right now, it looks as though this is how I am going to get 24" t5s

    lps/softie lighting

    Go with T5's if you can find it, it is a better alternative to VHO and if you don't have a deep tank it can compete with MH.

    T5 Lighting

    I am about to buy some good lighting for my tank and have decided that T5HO lighting is the best supplement for MH. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with getting them in the US -Scott barry769@comcast.net

    " snow storm in your area " how many inches "

    I just hope that some of these people have some sort of backup plan for their tanks, they say there are record power outages in some areas and that power won't be restored for almost a week.

    FLAME ANGLE!!!!! is it reef safe

    For the most part what I have heard is that the majority of flame angels are fine with reefs, but you can occasionally get a bad one. However, I just started a thread yesterday about keeping a flame in my 30 gallon tank and was told that a 30 isn't big enough to keep a flame happy and that you...

    Dwarf Angel in a 30 gallon

    Ok, I have a 30 gallon tank, and I was looking at live aquaria's recommendations, and I saw that they said that coral beauties and flame dwarf angelfish can be kept in a 30 gallon tank. I would really want to get one of these two fish, but that doesn't seem right to me because I think they...

    OT : New Virus going around

    with adaware, you can delete pretty much everything it tells you to. The worst that could happen is that some free program like kazaa wouldn't work because you deleted the ad software they bundle with their program. In this case you can either redownload kazaa or adaware saves and quarantines...
