Has anyone ever had a Niger Trigger jump out of a tank??? I came home from work to fine one less fish in my QT! I can only assume that my cat then wandered off with it! Moment of silence...he was one of my favs!

cool, thanks guys

ok, i wasnt sure. Must be copods,right? onlyreson i doudted was because my fish are currently in a QT from ick! They're in the third week.

can anyone tell me if these tiny white specks "crawling" around on my glass is ick or merely a copod hatch? thanks,

thanks a million! one more question, its a75g and i have 2 koralia 1050s, could that be too much movement? i,ve tried moving them aaround but i've always got the snow storm and barespots!

awesome! sounds like a plan, except the home depot sand part, lol. Think i"ll stay away from sand. Was thinking about crushed coral? any thoughts? Not a big fan of the snow storm effect ive got goin on now! lol

hey thanks guys! I thought it would be ok, especially since it wont have any fish in it for another 4 or 5 weeks. I plan on taking out as much water as i can without disturbing the sand, set that water aside in containers. Put all the live rock in containers, take out the old sand then put the...

wow, not one reply!! thats awesome!!

ok so here's my situation, I am currently treating my fish with coppersafe in a hospital tank. It just occurred to me that could i possibly use this empty DT time to correct an error in judgement thats been bugging me since day one? I used white sugar fine sand and have hated it since! It...

i have the same thing going on in my 75g FOWLR, i thought it was from having my lights on too long so i cut back to 8 hrs! didnt work, what causes it and what can be done to get rid of it?

i've looked into the MARINELAND leds, from many reviews and comments it seems they are great for FOWLR, but just dont have enough light for corals! I still might one for my 75g FOWLR!

anyone have any experience with LED's? Havent heard much good about them unless you wanna pass the 7-800 dollar mark!

6 bulbs? yikes, sounds kinda big! lol

I'm going to start a my first reef tank soon andwas wondering if anyone has any recommendations on lighting? I'm goin to start with LPS corals in a 40g breeder, its only 16 inches high. I may ad some SPS corals later depending on how it turns out.

awesome, thanks!

so when a corals recommended for a moderate to high flow, are they referring to the power of the power heads or their placement in the current?

I currently have a 75g FOWLR, in the near future i plan on getting some LPS corals. I have 2 koralia 1050's positioned to move water AROUND the rock in a circular pattern. Once i have the corals, should i change the position of the pumps? Should they be facing directly at the rock(coral)? Does...

ok, I'll give that a try! thanks

so... what do you do when you've done too good of a job providing nooks and crannies and caves that you can't catch a fish to seperate a couple of squabling blue damsels??? hmmm...

maybe 8 inches or so, about 3- 4 inches above the pump! Btw, whats a turf scrubber? lol

my sump has a bubble trap and i can't see any visible bubbles in my return chamber yet i still have micro bubbles in the main tank! Is there any effective way of either getting rid of them or preventing them short of designing and building another sump???

I'm proud to say i have successfully cycled my "1st" saltwater tank! Thank you thank you! lol. Ammonia-0, nitrites-0, nitrates hover between 10-20. Now...how do i get the cyrstal clear water??? It still has a slight haze to it! Will it go away on its own, or is there something i should or...

my ammomia spiked 6 days ago! i'm using ro/di water as well.

so i have the basic principal of a cycle...ammo to trites to trates, got it! Whats puzzling me now is im on day 3 of ammo=0, my nitrates have been fluctuating, as high as 160 two days ago, today down to a comfy 5.0, and my nitrites have been holding strong at 1.0 all week! I know the bacteria...

gotcha thanks
