I finally got around to mounting my MH ballasts to my canopy and then wiring them to my reflectors. I would like to know how to wire the quick disconnects. in the plug(male end) it has (N) ground then (L). I know the green wire goes to ground but which wires go to (N) and (L). I'm guessing...

I noticed the other day that my starfish had bite marks on it's arms. then I noticed today that it was missing an arm and the other arms looked torn up. is it sick or can it be bristleworms? I noticed a large bristleworm the other day while rearranging my LR. What type of trap would you...

What are these white spots on my Acans? How do I get rid of them? I noticed them today when I went to turn on the lights to my QT tank. I'll admit I haven't kept the qt tank up to par since I've been busy at work then the one weekend I planned on doing major tank cleanings(qt, 29bc and 110g)...

I made a batch of fresh water this morning to get ready for a PWC for my 29g bio-cube tomorrow. I tested the water with my hand held TDS meter and it blinked 999, meaning there was a bunch of crap in the water. I tested the water out of the tap and it read 147. I then took a small sample of...

I have the above mentioned test kit and it has an Alkalinity check solution in a small bottle but the instructions don't say how to use it. does anyone have any idea how to use it?

I have a reeflo Dart that is way to noisy for my taste. My tank is in my office and my room is right next door. Could I insulate the stand? Should I place a rubber mat underneath the pump?

Like the title says. My G3 fills up with water in seconds. It's brand new and I have the output tube where the instructions(if you want to call them that) say to have it initially. Should I run it with out the collection cup until it slims up? BTW, I'm still cycling the tank. My ammonia is...

I'm thinking about getting either the Ranco or the Aqualogic. Can either one control two heaters simultaneously? I know they can do a heater and a chiller. But I would like to use it to control two heaters instead.

I did a search but I didn't come up with anything. Has anyone ever used one? Are they any good? THe instructions say to only submerge up to the black cap that it has. If this is as far as I can submerge it then it's not fully waterproof!!!

Why me?.....I just noticed that my 110g tank has a broken lower moulding. It must of happened while trying to get the tank out of my Tribeca. I didn't notice it until I started to clean the glass with a wet towel to clean off all the dust from the LFS. I can glue it back on but I'm...

I have two Acans in my 29G BC. How do I know if they are still ok? I have them about 3/4 of the way up from the substrate. I feed them mysis from time to time. They're open and not closed up at all so I don't know if they're ok or not. I had my first death since I started my SW tank. my...

HELP! I noticed two of my mushrooms came off the rock. One red and one purple. Are they branching out or is there something wrong? I can't post my parameters right now since I have to go to work.

I need some advice. I'm going to pick up a 110g 60" tank in two weeks. I can't decide what to upgrade/change out/or add. So far I got: 1 60" Oceanic 110g cherry tank w/ two overflows 2 plumbing kits stand(i didn't want to risk it making my own) Oceanic reef ready sump(I think it's 30g) 2...

I've read that a FOWLR should be treated as a reef tank. I've been adding Purple up to my BC 29 to get the corraline algae going. I was wondering when I'm ready to move up to a bigger tank should I go with Instant Ocean reef crystals for the added trace elements that come in it? Can I switch...

I'm looking into getting a bigger tank once I master SW fish keeping and was wondering which manufacturer to go with. I was told Oceanic is the best one out there. Are there any other companies that are worth looking into? I would like to get it reef ready. I'm still debating on the final...

I just added 2 clowns to my tank after weeks of cycling. They seem to be fighting against the current of my bio-cube pump discharge. what can I do to make it less turbulent?

I have a 29g bio cube and currently have the skimmer made by Oceanic for it. Is there another skimmer that I can use? So far I don't like the way this skimmer is working. It's not producing enough bubbles to create any foam in the collection cup. I think the air pump is under rated for the...
