always been my fave chalice nice pickup

research some pico tanks through the search function and google. I have seen some pretty cool reef picos with SPS, shrooms, zoa/palys, acans, etc. You will be limited on LPS due to long sweepers and no room in a 5 gallon for coral spacing. Best part of a small tank is you can have some pretty...

good looking clams mario. I have a squamosa that has gotten big, this thread has reminded me that I need to start testing for some other stuff. +1 to don't order online

they make a brush for cleaning lint out of dryers that is a very skinny tall rigid bristle brush. The one I have SUCKS for getting lint out of my dryer but it sure can clean up tight spots in my tank. I don't recall specifically using it on my sump but have used it in a lot of other applications...

I really wanted the reefbreeders but have had good luck with the good 'ol T5. You can grow anything with that fixture.

what do you mean you didn't get the anenome out in time, did it get sucked into a powerhead? Maybe the cucumber started to eat the anenome which is why your tank spiked?

I've never heard of that being done successfully. A lot of clubs will have a lettuce nudibranch that gets passed around for algae problems. I want to get one because I have a bryopsis issue at the moment, but yet to see one at the LFS that I can trade back in for credit once my algae issue is...

First rule of livingreefs is you don't talk about +2. Seriously I agree with Kbuser too though. All too often we see someone who says I want this awesome fish and I will buy it small and upgrade before he outgrows the tank. Then sooner rather than later the fish dies due to stress or...

I have one type of green paly with about 5 heads that has always been like that. Tons of other palys/zoas in the tank with less/more flow and light. Going on a couple years in 2 different tanks with different lights, I just chocked it up to that's the way it is.

I need to bite the bullet and get new bulbs for my 8 bulb. Im thinking 2x aquablue special, 2x purple plus, 2 x coral plus, 2x actinic. It will be a blue combo but should make corals pop.

I feed coral frenzy x2/week

To answer question A yes just buy a new impeller, why would you buy a whole new skimmer? Hardest part may be finding out what kind you need. I know on all my pumps/powerheads all the tags are impossible to read after years of vinegar soakings and light exposure.

Eric do you have a ship schedule? Sorry if you already said and i missed it

Ive found my clownfish are the moodiest fish in my tank

Thanks Eric for putting this together

What are your water parameters. Also not to be rude but can you please use sentences with ., it makes it much easier to read. post up parameters and we'll help you out

I've been fighting either a green hair algae/bryopsis outbreak. I raised mag to about 1900 and target shot hydro peroxide and in a week and a half it's almost gone.

Phosphate checkers are nice to have, but personally I don't really see the advantage. If you have algae any reading you get will be skewed, and no algae battle doesn't benefit from thorough and often water changes which a phosphate checker will indicate is necessary anyway. I would rather spend...

What size/dimensions tank are you looking to light up. I've successfully kept sps/anenomes under t5 but if it's a smaller tank you could get a MH or led fixture for that price. Led will have a lower (none) long term cost due to not needing to but replacement bulbs, however we'll need someone to...

Amazing as always Dennis
