My LFS told me to feed my cb butterfly frozen bloodworms. He didnt mention anything else. I know they are picky feeders. Does anyone have any tips about feeding them? Thanks.

Don't know if any of you have experienced this with a tank around. I'm planning on having my floors professionally sanded and then polyuretaned. I've had this done previously but didnt have my marine tank at the time. It's very messy when they sand. I'm thinking of covering the entire tank...

I just installed this skimmer over the weekend. The instructions say that there is a break in period of about 1-2 weeks. meanwhile, it's putting out slightly tinted green water. It's very powerful. Does anyone know if there's a switch to lower the pump volume. I know on other pumps, there's...

Say bye bye to hair algae. Finally, my tank is looking fine. As it was before my LR turned into Chia pets. Thanks to all who offered advice on how to get rid of it.

Because of my hair algae problem...I decided to get more emerald crabs, more mexican turbos and these weird (cant pull myself away from weird) creatures. I bought two of them. As soon as I through (oops..placed) them in my tank, my dwarf angel went right for one of them....took a taste and...

What trace elements do Brain coral require?

I have a 72 g tank. I've had it for over 4 years. My Ps is the basic Prizm. It doesnt work well. I constantly set it every day. I was thinking of getting either the Turboflotor multi 100 (hang on) or the Coral life super skimmer. the first one is good up to 250gallons, the second upto...

It's almost been 3 weeks with my uv sterilizer on, and I still have hair algae. I was told that it would have turned brown by now. I have cut down on the amount that my lights stay on. I have dual 96watt daylights and dual actinics. 10,000k and 6500k on the daylights. I also dont have any...

I finally installed a uv sterilizer.(turbotwist 9w) on my 72g tank after 4 years. I was told this would aid in retarding the growth of hair algae that I've been getting because I upgraded my lighting system. Which by the way, is Orbit, two daylights, 10,000k and 6500k two actinics 450 and...

A friend of mine needs to move his 125g reef tank one floor down. Is there a protocol, or guideline that he can follow? Please dont say...very carefully.

After placing my clown in the tank, he started swimming fine. Now I find him close to the top of the tank. I"m worried because, when I first started this hobby, a tomato clown of mine, went to the top and died three days later. I do have a bulb tip anemone but I think it's too small for the...

What position in the tank does the Bulb Tip Anemone require? High, Middle, Low? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm having a discussion here at work. I'm telling this person, that my lights on my reef are composed of two daylights at 6700K and two lamps at 10,000K. I'm telling him that the K stands for Kelvin. He's saying that's impossible, that it would be too hot, that the K stands for...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has either the small version or the Aqua Pro (larger version). The info does not give the length from where the skimmer box hangs on the back of the tank. I think the length listed is the whole height of the skimmer box. 17.5 for the small and 21.5 for the...

I'm looking to purchase a Remora Aqua C with or w/o drain fitting (what's the difference) but it comes with three different pumps to choose. The Maxi jet 1200 (least expensive) the Rio 1400, and the Magdrive (most expensive) Is the most expensive the best? not necessarily right? This is for a...

Hi all, I've had a FOWLR tank for the past 4 years. I've had a Picasso Trigger (recently deceased), a Volitan Lionfish (not eating) a dwarf keyhole angel and a huge snowflake eel. Also, since the Trigger died, all of the crabs and snails aren't afraid and they have been coming out of hiding. I...

Hello All, I have my tank and original lighting for 4 years now. Yesterday, after work, I came home and noticed the tank was dark. My wife said that she forgot to tell me that the light wouldn't go on that morning. I unplugged it from the power strip and attempted to plug it in another...
