hey, just bought the current USA 260w PC fixture w/fan and moonlights and love it. Just wondering if anyone else has it and what they think of it.

i'm recycling and restarting my tank and just bought a skimmer, and was wondering if i should run it while it cycles

Well after 5 years i'm tearing down the 55. The last 7 fish i've added over the last 6 months have not survived. The maroon clown and yellow tang and corals have lasted for awhile with no problems, and no the yellow tang and clown are not picking on the newcomers. There's no sign of nitrates...

when dealing with a DSB, is it better to have a lot of creatures moving it around or to not mess with it at all. I just read an article that was a couple of years old that stated the deep sand bed's function is destroyed when it is constantly moved, but the marine biologist at our store says...

Just drip acclimated my new kole tang for about 3 hours, figured my yellow would've given him some trouble, as soon as i drop him in, he flashes his tail at the yellow, then starts attacking my algae everywhere! Didn't have to turn off the lights, he's not hiding, i love this fish!!!

whataya guys think? Co-worker gave me some macro and got no money for a CPR, was thinking about throwing an extra flourescent light i got over it and calling it my new fuge.

here's my two new corals. The leather i've had for a couple of months, and his span is almost 12". Hope u enjoy!

well today i bought some metallic green star polyps and a colt coral. Rearranged all my rock too! It looks so much better. I'll try to post pics tomm.

can i just carefully pull him off the rock and see if he'll reattach where i need him, or how should i go about doing this? It's not possible to just move the rock cause he's attached to 3 different rocks.

how does hair algae appear all of a sudden after three years with no problems and no sign of phosphates? I havent added anything new for awhile, and it was kinda like it took over my tank in one nite.

I'm going to start using oceanic salt instead of instant ocean, and was wondering if there's any harm or anything i should know in doing so

well today i found my diadema dottyback and my bicolor blenny dead today, levels are perfect, nothing seems wrong, the only thing that has changed in the last week is i added my toadstool leather, and he hasn't shed or anything. What could it be?

i've got my eye on a certain toadstool at the store, and was wondering if it would do well for a month or so without a protein skimmer. From what i understand they're pretty hardy and it's not gonna be a big deal.

I'm trying to decide the type of lighting to put on my 115. First of all its 4 feet long. I was intending on putting 2 250 watt 6500K Iwasaki Metal Halides, along with 2 four foot actinic blue VHO bulbs. But I talked to the marine biologist i work with and he suggested going up to 400 watt...

well i just changed my substrate, and i've got to say i'm much happier. Only thing is since i moved my rock around i haven't accounted for my hippo or cleaner shrimp yet. Hope theyll be ok. I changed my top layer from crushed coral to the reef grade. Wish me luck!

just wondering what kind of calcium you use and how do u like it

ok, i just found out that chromis is a type of damsel. But I read that they are a peaceful species. Did i read right?

115 and 55 for me

well instead of getting the oceanic RR 90 gallon i was going to order, my store just got a DAS 115 gallon and the people who ordered it didn't like it, so guess where its going!

That their cleaner shrimp is their best investment to their tank. I know mine was. My pacific blue had stress ich, and it was gone in a day!

like i said, just wanting to know if u guys think they are worth it and do any good. It will be goin on a 90 gallon with sump at the end of the summer.

went to the aquarium sat. morning before work to check out their stuff, overall i was impressed, some say its pretty small, but they have a lot of plans for different buildings to be added on. Also I knew workin at the fish store would come in handy one day. Since the aquarium buys some of...

well, as expected, my baby pacific blue i just got has a little case of stress ich, i'm not real worried about it tho, cause i just started medicating and my cleaner shrimp is going to town on him

just got a regal tang and diadema dottyback. They've been drip acclimating for the last two hours, i can't wait to put them in!

the collection cup on the skilter part of one of my filters started overflowing with water while I was at work, and instead of calling me right away, my dad just unplugged everything and didn't call me for like 4 hours. So when i do get home i hurry up and get everything going again, and...
