i am racking my brain trying to figure this one out....either a clown trigger, a sea dragon or emperor angel

Does anyone here have experience with Red Sea's Berlin Protein Skimmer? I took mine out of my sump to clean it, and now I can't get it to start producing foam again. There are no bubbles or anything in the reaction chamber, and I've already checked to make sure my pump is working okay. Do I...

Rest in peace Bubba the Lobster! for those of you who don't know, bubba is a 22-lb. lobster in an aquarium up north somewhere who, according to experts, could have possibly been up to 100 years old! He leaves behind a wife, ten children, and countless fans. :roll:

thank you very much everyone for taking the time to remind me how much money i'm throwing down the drain in this business....now i'm all depressed...i need a drink...what's 20 x 120gals? ... oh my god I'm gonna puke!

that's a 196 total watts of light, giving you a little over 4 watts/gal. That's probably a marginal amount of lighting to keep anemones. Additionally, while others may disagree, I have never had sucess with anemones without using MH. PCs just don't seem to be penetrating enough. wet/dry...

I used to have one too until I introduced it to a hammer. The only way I ever got mine to work was to slow down the waterflow to where it's just barely trickling in. I was able to get some of the good thick dark skim this way, but I don't know if it was even worth it because I had it turned...

my tank has a blonde naso tang, a kole tang, yellow tang, hippo tang, imperator angel, false percula, domino damsel, 3 striped damsel with 200 lbs live rock and coral and I've had no problems with them picking on coral.

i've tried the nori and its been picking at it throughout the day...so far so good. now another question : will nori alone provide a complete enough source of nutrition to maintain the tang in the long run?

its just a generic brand i bought from my LFS -- i've tried feeding with and w/o it but with the same results...i'll try and get some Nori tonight and see if that works

I have a blonde naso tang that I got about 2 weeks ago and I can't get him to eat much. every once in a while it'll eat a small piece of food, but not nearly enough to keep it alive for very long. he hasn't been picked on by any other fish and swims/looks normally, but thus far has failed to...

damn its too bad you're in VA -- i'd love to take it off your hands but the shipping would be HORRENDOUS!

i keep both hermits and snails, but i only have about 10 snails in my 125. they don't really seem to do that much in my tanks and die off too quickly. i keep lots of hermits because they're fun to watch and seem to live longer (i have one that's 4 years old -- i marked his shell so i could...

my most was $125 for an emperator angel from the christmas islands that later died after contracting popeye. also had a $120 king (passer) angel. i really want a bluefaced angel, but they're about the same price range and i still have a bad taste in my mouth from other angels that i've kept.

I had no problem with mine nipping at corals, but like has been stated I couldn't get mine to eat. I've heard that to induce them eating you can put a partially opened oyster/clam in the tank, but I never tried it. If you can find one at your LFS that accepts food, you should be all set
