Crypt? Ok just checking out my tank this afternoon and it looks like my Hippo Tang has spots that look like white lint. I am not 100% sure this is crypt as I have yet to see it in saltwater. Saw him yesterday and he was fine today he looks horrible. Parameters: 125 Gallon PH 8.2 Salinity...

I had a picasso and had to take it out because once he saw the snails he went right after them. I really don't think you will find any trigger that won't go after your cleaning crew. But if you do and you decide you have to get him out of the tank you better find out right away. When I had to...

You may also want to check your LFS to see if they sell RO water by the gallon. If you find one that deals strictly with fish chances are they will have RO water for sale to the public.

You could also try marine central esp. if you are looking to buy over 100lbs. The cool thing at marine central is that if you live near a major airport they can ship it via an airline you you pay somewhere between 40-60 bucks for shipping 100lbs. Be careful of certain places offering free...

Cool. I built my canopy with 1x10s and all it covers is the top plastic trim so my PCs current sit about 8-9 inches from water level. So you would recommend a fan blowing into the sump and what 2-3 fans in the hood? If so would they all be blowing air out or air in, or some combination there...

I currently am running 4 36" PCs (2 10Ks and 2 Blue 03s) in my 125 gallon and have had good results with the leathers and various soft corals. I also have two 175 watt MHs sitting in my garage because I don't think just 2 MHs in a six foot tank will give off even light, I am figuring I need a...

I just came across a great deal and jumped into the reef side of things a bit earlier than I had anticipated. I purhcased 150 lbs. of LR that included some leathers over a dozen feather dusters, mushrooms, polyps, and a few other things all for $300 :D . That bring my total to about 220 lbs of...

Hi I am not exactly central PA but ohh well. I was just wondering where most of you guys purchase your Live Rock from. Also any great fish stores worth the drive from Philadelphia. Thanks all!

Someone mentioned that a blue chin trigger is reef safe that seems to be pretty hard to believe. So my question is...Is it reef safe and lets say if it is wouldn't a trigger just go after any shrimp/crab/lobsters in the tank?
