I have one and the night outlets are only on when the daytime outlets are off. So whenever you program your daytime lights to come on then the night time outlets automatically go off, so you can not have your actinics come on and go off separately from you other lights. Only thing I have on my...

I have a strawberry (purple) psuedochromis that I have had for a few months now. Just this night I saw that something has nipped a chunk out of his side. What is the best treatment to heal this injury. I believe the aggressor may be my coral banded shrimp. What is the best way to make sure the...

Thanks for the offer Roka64, but I pulled him out tonight anyway. Saw him nipping at one of my sea cucumbers. Might see if one of the lfs will take it or I might just have to convince the wife to set up a second tank for him. Hummm. That's a good idea.

Thanks all. I'll try and get some of the gel based food today and see if that helps. Thanks again.

Huh, it was sent with the clean up crew. I thought that all would live in harmony sice it was sent all together.I thought that I had plenty for it to eat. I guess not now. Should I try to feed a little extra so he might get enough as not to eat the rest of my hermits?

Was just wondering if anybody has had a problem with an arrow crab eating little hermits (tiny little hermits). I got a clean up crew, one to help on the house keeping and two for looks, and I have noticed that the arrow crab has eaten and I have watched him eat the smaller hermits. Cool little...

I've started getting those white little coralline like dots on the back glass. Is it ok to just use a scraper to get them off and best way to keep them off?

I've got the same one and thought mine did not come with instructions either until I took all the foam out and it was in the lid. Wasn't much help then because I found all my answers right here.

Thanks a lot. That will be easy and great site. Although still a newbie I've done a lot of reading from here and love the site. GREAT job to all!!!!

I bought a refractometer a few months ago and since have lost the instructions for it. Now I have my tank up and running and took a H2O sample to my LFS to have them test it. Their SG reading was 1.021, but my refractometer is reading 1.025. Can any one give me info on how to go about checking...

Thanks BillD, I'll have look into the U tacks. I know nobody will see the wires with the hood closed, but I'll know that there there and little things like that irritate me for no reason. Guess I try to be too much of a perfectionist. Thanks again.

Was wondering if anyone has a split canopy with lights mounted on the front section and if so can you explain or show me how you ran the wiring across the hinge? I just got a new canopy that is split and can not figure out a good cosmetic way to run the wire from the ballast to the end caps and...

I like the idea of the heater being hidden so I'll give it a try. Any problems with it malkor?

I'm new to this hobby and to the site (well as a member that is). Just wanted to know about the Hydor in-line heater and if it would work on a 75gal FOWLR. Tank is not set up yet. Still buying pieces and parts and trying to finish building my stand. Room temp. is usually around 73deg.. The specs...
