i think thats part of the problem. no fresh blood. just the same people yaking away. and if your tank is set up and running and everything is going good then there is no problems. no problem no questions about how to fix stuff.

i like that idea of articles - ie different fish species or coral. peoples opinion of different products-ie lights are always good. for example i am waiting avidly to see how the gyre works out for lesely as i am thinking about buying one. also looking for opinions on aqua ray 2000 ultima...

i am submitting 2 pix. caught my clarki's spawning and i just had to share.

peek a boo. this is my tailspot blennie hiding in my hammer coral. hangs out there all the time. first crack at sending pix. have to figure out how to get a pix without doing the file thing. sorry

dont forget - that algae is a food source for your fish too. any vegetarians in your tank will be happu to eat it for you

yes thats what i think too - algae- halymenia maybe

what is the point of a deep sand bed anyways? would the rock and sand in the main tank not do the same thing?

i have 4 sicce voyager stream pumps 2800 us gal 17 watts running 2 on 2 off running opposite each other, trying to get back and forth flow. so electricity wouldnt be that different. does your friend have 1 running or does he have 2. i am moving soon and my new house is a lot bigger. my hubby...

hey leslie. looks real interesting. i was reading that you can run forward and reverse. do you do that or have you tried it. i would think that would be a good option. to be able to pulse back and forth every little while in opposite directions would be much more ocean like. my tank is 265...

right after i read about the sleeper goby and responded i went and looked at my tank and found my bycolor blenny laying on the top. he managed to find his way through the hole cut in the top of my tank where the skimmer pipe comes out. he was laying in a puddle of water and was still breathing...

thats to bad about your fish, but if you dont have some kind of a shield over your tank to stop that then you have a tank full of fish that havent realized they can jump out and sooner or later another one will figure it out. all fish can jump. some more willing then others but they all jump

yup, i do believe you are right, but i dont have a sump so i have to put it in my tank. i am going to let it run for a couple wks and see what happens

so i am looking at all these scrubber designs and i made my own. if it works and i like it then i will make a nicer better design. here goes- piece of plastic egg crate material about 9 in by 16 in, a piece of plastic mesh screening roughed as instucted, zip tied to egg crate. a bubble curtain...

you could be experiencing coral warfare. hard and soft corals dont always mix. they give off a lot of chemicals to retard growth from competing corals. i have all the stuff you have plus mushrooms, colt corals and anemones in my tank but i use charcoal. what i have trouble with is acans. i...

you have a dottyback, almost a dottybacks are rotten little buggers. the royal gramma colours and pattern are the same but they have a black stripe through the eye and a black spot on the dorsal fin. they are reef safe. i have tryed the orchid dottybsck twice, first one never came out and...

i would suggest that they would possibly fight or more likely that that one stray bachelor will keep the 2 pairs tight. or if your tank can handle it you could always get him a partner

i dont know if there is s problem using lava rock but it does look nice. however its not going to stay that way. eventually coraline algae is going to grow all over and sediment is going to fill up a lot of the little holes as well as regular algae growing on it. eventually you are going to lose...

how come they didnt just give you your money back?

how much more specific then that can you get?

You are probably right about waiting 24 hrs before i test, but thats not going to happen. If I wait then it doesnt get done. I change 30 gal at a time. In a tank the size of mine I am going to get a pretty good reading. And yes I have a high nutrient system. I have a lot of stuff in there and...
