Should I stay with my Formosa deluxe hood w 2X 10,000 PC 65 watt and 2xactinic 65 with 2 48"VHO OR 2x 250 10000 MH with 2x real actinic blue 96w pc? It is a 72ga reef set up. I might have enough room to keep the VHO's on as well, or am I overloading the light at that point? Tank has been...

I have a formosa deluxe PC hood. The rear set of lights does not work. I have replaced the bulbs and changed the switch, and am guessing that the last cog is the ballast. I haven't gotten to it yet, because it appears to be quite a pain to disassemble it! Anysuggestions on the problem, and...

I am going to set up a refugium for my 72 reef and currently have a skimmer and UV. I figure that since I am to be "cultivating/growing" beneficial microorgs in the refugium, that the UV would kill 'em all off before going back to the tank. or would I UV the flow before it hits the fuge?

I have a pair of perc clowns and I think they have eggs on the rock under their anemone. I am going to try to attatch a photo. The female , and male hover around the site and the female seems to nudge at them with her nose occassionally. What do you think? If so how long does it take to...

I witnessed my Coral banded shrimp beginning to pick apart one of my two cleaner shrimp today. It did not appear to be the molted shell. The cleaner wasn't moving and the coral banded was trying to scissor open his side. And before I could get in there or get a pic, he drug the cleaner off to...

I know keeping bristleworms in the tank is controversial. I have one larger one that is 6-8" long that comes out at feeding time and takes silversides fine, but today I noticed at least a dozen that I can see at the front of the tank, plus I believe more under the tank in little tunnels(I have a...

saw this 2 minutes ago. Now is is attatched to one of the pieces of a leather that broke of and is attatched at the bottom of the tank. Appears to be a nudi, but I thought they ate sponges. If it's bad I can pull him out easily now. He's got good camo, he's in the center of the pic
