It looks like the legs will be the best choice. Thanks for the input.

I just bought NOVA Extreme light fixture. It came with two options for mounting. The first is mounting legs and the second is sitting light fixture directly on aquarium with sticky tabs holding it in place. Wouldn't the 2nd option make the lights to close to the water? I guess my question is...

I have upgraded my skimmer and lights. The skimmer and the light fixture are 2 years old. The light bulbs are 9 months old. The skimmer is a Coralife SuperSkimmer 125. Asking $50.00. The light fixture is a Coralife Lunar Aqualights Compact fixture. Length 48in and has legs. 260 watts. Asking...

He didn't look sick. He ate when I fed him. I don't know.

I am wondering if the foxface was eating the leftover flake food off the sponge and got sucked in.

My 3yo daughter yelled for me to come see the fish that something was wrong. I went to qt and the foxface's mouth was stuck in the powerhead. I had a sponge covering the intake area but apparently there was a small hole (pencil eraser size) on the bottom of sponge. And that is where the mouth...

I keep ro/di water in a trash can with heater and powerhead. When it's time to change water, I take a 3/4 inch plasctic tube (4ft long) and attach to powerhead and put the other end of tube in a bucket and withdraw water that way. Then I attached tube to powerhead and put ro/di water in tank.

Just an update the fish are looking great. They are eating and swimming all around. I have been doing 25% PWC daily. I'll take pictures once I move them in main tank. (a week or so)

I have had sw tank for 2 years now. I haven't purchased any fish since the first 4 I got when I set up the tank. Yesterday I purchased a foxface and scissortail goby. I have them in a 10g qt. The qt consists of a hoh filter and I had that on the main tank x 1 week, a heater, ph, and pvc pipe...

I finally went and bought 2 fish, 1 Foxface and 1 scissortail goby. Thy=ey are QT and llik fine. Will send pictures later.

I am trying to figure out if I need to sell my current lighting or just add another fixture to my tank. I want to add coral (start with beginner type corals) but I have 2 65w compact flu and 2 65w acitinic, also lunar lights. What should I?

I have a 6 line wrasse that is aggressive. I purchased a dottyback 6 months ago and within a day he had killed it. So, my question is what kind of fish can I get that he won't pick at or kill? I would like to get a yellow tang and/or coral beauty. Are these okay?

I have had my tank for a year now. I decided to had an anemone. So far it looks good. I would like to add a bta. Is this ok? Also, I would like to add a few corals. What would be compatible with the anemones? My fish consist of 2 clowns, 6line wrasse, and a convict goby, and a cleaner crew.

It's not a new skimmer. I have had it since aug 06. It sits inside the sump. I have never used the bubble diffuser before, so I put the hose inside the diffuser and that has removed most of the bubbles. From reading other posts, I may have a leak somewhere?

When I turn the protein skimmer on there are lots of bubbles shooting into the tank. When I turn the protein skimmer off, the bubbles clear up. What do you think is the problem?
