Howdy, I just got an internship this fall in Washington, D.C. and I will not be able to take my saltwater tank with me. I am giving away the fish to good homes and I am selling the tank. The tank is very healthy and has been running now for about 2 years. The fish are all that old as well...

So I went ahead and purchased this system for my 20g long mini reef. http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=12 So far I am very impressed with the system. The additional heat put into my aquarium is minimal (.2 degrees) with the lights on the mounting legs, however...

Any ideas, help, info, flaming, would be appreciated. :-)

Bump!

My tank is a 20g Long. It is 30" across.

Howdy! I'm moving the PC lighting fixture on my 20g reef tank to my 75g fish only tank and getting new lighting. I was curious on what you guys think of this setup? http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=185

How often should I change the water in my tank while doing hyposalinity treatment. I have been making daily trips to the LFS, and I'm getting really annoyed with them telling me that my fish are going to die with my salinity level at 1.009. (I'm using their refractometer.) Also, anyone know...

Well, I just moved my tank from my bedroom to my living room and all is going well (small cycle going on after draining all the water, moving the tank, and refilling) but before I move my fish back into it, I had a heating question. In my bedroom with my computer and other various electronics...

I can move all my inverts into my minireef except my huge brittle star. I've heard different things on different boards about the brittles and wanted to know if anyone has any experience keeping a brittle and a trigger.

I have 3 starfish, a few snails, and a few hermits in my display tank. Would any of these guys be safe with a trigger (I like the Humu humus)?

Not sure if anyone remembers my tank crashing overnight 6 months back. Long story short, my Boxfish released Ostratoxin in the tank and I lost my Blond Naso Tang, Boxfish, Angler, Yellow Tang, and Yellow Eye Tang. Long story short, when I got up that morning, my GS Marroon Clown was clinging to...

Sorry I wasn't specific enough. When I went to bed that night everything was fine. My Naso was a perfectly normal grey. When I got up the next morning and he was dead, he had black splotches on it, which I had heard was a sign of external poisoning (which is why i mentioned it).

Update: My clown fish has successfully made it through two nights in his QT. He's eating just fine and not showing any signs of stress, so I think he's going to be OK. As far as water quality issues in the past, the only issues I've had were nitrates, but after purchasing some nitra sponge and...

Yeah, that's the only thing I can come up with, that or something startled him and he did it. All the dead fish were around him, and my clown is in love with powerhead on the other side of the tank so the toxin might not have made it up there yet. *sigh*

PH: 8.2
