    H.O.B. Skimmer advice needed.

    I bought the reef octopus b100 and love it. The directions are confusing but you can download the improved ones from their website. Tuning is easy it does involve air tuning only water input. I constantly pull out nice gunk out of my 60g.

    I think i'm doing this wrong

    Anytime I new coral frag it doesn't look anything like it did when I purchased it. I understand Zoanthids take time to come out and such but i'm talking like 3 weeks.

    Top strap broken

    Is the strap total missing? Or just cracked down the middle? I read somewhere that you can take a piece of a smiliar plastic strip and superglue it on the underside.

    Top strap broken

    How large is the tank? I have seen little tanks 20G or such have no impact. But with larger tanks it's a gamble. could bust out now or never. Look at the front glass from the side, is it bowed out?

    My hiding black bangai

    Hello all! I just purchased a black bangai cardinal from my LFS about 4 days ago. He has been hiding under the rocks ever since. I see him come out at night to look for food but that is it. Should I be worried or just leave him be? Also I bought my first frag of orange Zoas, i read that they...

    Thank you all for the advice. I am talking to David right now and I hope he is going to square me away. Maybe there was a shipping error in some systems, because mine is doing the same thing Buffy's is doing.
