At one time I had so much xenia that I was selling large batches of it weekly to the LFS. Then one day, all of it started disappearing. I was still doing the same things I had done for 2 years. I went from having a tank FULL to nothing in less than a month. Very odd. It just dried up and...

I have a 100 gallon and currently have a set up of 4 60" VHO bulbs. I chose VHO as the canopy I have is very low profile. The bulbs are about 2" off the water. So if I go with any other lighting, I will need to toss the canaopy. That being said, I considered MH lighting. However I dont want to...

I have a very large crab in my tank and he never offers to try and eat any of my fish. Of course I have a regal, yellow, and salfin, damsel, clown, wrasse and a goby..so most of them are good sized. So is the vote to NOT gather the crabs? Im thinking if I order crabs from a fish store, they come...

I have blue legged and red legged ones. The ones I found at the coast are all very small..like on the beach. Its a 100 gallon tank so I was thinking 10-15 small crabs wont be that big of a deal. I was more concerned about possible diseases they could bring in - not the crabs themselves..

Guys Im going to the TX coast and last time I went we gathered a ton of crabs, but didnt bring them back and put them in my tank. I was wondering if anyone thought it wouldnt be a good idea to gather some and bring back this time? Any harm to my existing tank? Its been up and running for 5...

All I have a slight cyno problem and am getting it under control, but in the meantime Im having to syphon out some of my sand. I do have the all elusive sand that some people cant find. However, Im running out and want to know if I need to add more sand later, what do most people do? Do you just...

I have a ton of aptasia and have been blasting them with AK via a syringe. Seemed to work for a while but now they are multiplying faster than I can kill them. Peppermints didnt work, hot water didnt work, and I dont want any more fish. I happen to find this product at Aquarium supplies for your...

I have a new cluster of frogspawn in my 5 year old 100 gallon tank. The coral itself is on a stalk if you will and I cant find a place for it. Do I glue it to a rock? Does the stalk grow with the coral? How do these things grow? It is getting fuller but I have the stalk inside of a peice of PVC...

Roka Im not speaking of acclimating them to the main..they dont make it that far. I acclimate them from the LFS to my QT for about 3 hours plus. He was in the QT for 4 weeks and was doing fine. I spoke to a major LFS here in the Dallas area (didnt buy the fish there) and they are of the opinion...

Update: Well the fish died overnight. This is the third fish I have had do this. They live great for 2-4 weeks then literally within 48-72 hours they quit eating and die. I think I saw where this is attributed to poisening to catch the fish? Can someone confirm this? If not any ideas as to what...

You might try adding gralic to the seaweed to get him going on it and then ween him off of it as he takes to the seaweed. I would also suggest adding vitamin C to the seaweed too. He needs a lot of good veggie and vitamins. Add Vitamin C to the meaty food too. Get a clip and suction to the glass...

I bought one of these about 4 weeks ago and he has been doing well in my QT that has been established for some 6 months now. Was always going around picking at the rubble rock, sand, etc. The past 3-4 days he has been hiding and not eating. he will nibble but thats it. He didnt this when I first...

I use RODI and even have a 2nd cannister I run through for PO4. Plus I use a P04 reactor on my tank. I dont know how I could have ANY P04. I dont have a test kit but will get the LFS to do so. I keep my SG at 1.022 or 1.021. PH is around 8.0-8.2 Temp at 79-80. No ammonia trites and less than 5...

DO as someone suggested and run a box fan on high pointing at it or buy some little fans that you can place on top of the tank and point it at the water. I had heat issues and when I did this each small 1 ft fan lowered the temp 1 degree.

All I battled green carpet algea and slime for about 2 years and finally beat it! I kept scrubbing it each week and finally won. However now Im struggling with red slime. Not to bad, but just keeps forming on my rocks. Also I keep noticing on like my intake screens of my pumps it turn a rust...

I have some gaps in the back but Im thinking I will do 1 in and 1 out and see what this does. Cant hurt...Thanks

Ok thanks. Also when I do a 2 fan set up...I have seen people say 1 fan blowing into the canopy and 1 blowing out..and then others both in, or both out..what should it be?

I hope they work as well in a canopy as they do in a PC enviroment!! :) Also do you think 2 for a 5 ft canopy is enough? Im going to order these tonight and then get Radioshack to hook me up with the power source. Thanks

I called Radioshack and they said to just buy a fan and bring it in and they will help with the power source no problem. Also what do you think about this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999122

Thanks. However I want something that is already wired or easy to wire. So do I just go to like RadioShack and but a power supply? Meaning the wiring? Im not into burning down anything!!! :)

I see where a lot of people use like the PC fans that have high velocity for their tanks and keeping them cool. I need 2 small ones to install in my canopy...can someone provide me a link to these? Thanks

I have looked at FosterSmith before and they dont carry the 60" bulb in 110W for some reason. This is what I use to maximize the ballast (Icecap 660). All they have is 140W. Plus I can get the Aquasuns in my LFS for $32 (same as website) and dont have to pay shipping. I may have to rig up...

Yeah I have Aquasuns in my setup now. I dont know if they sell URI bulbs or not? I thought URI was like an industry standard? Also do you know anything about fans I can cut holes in my canopy and put them in to draw out the hot air? I made a list of all your corals. I know those can be done so...
