ok, I've been diggin through the history, and I've found answers to almost all my questions, except one, haha. I've decided to cover my 75 gallon tank with two 250W MH bulbs, I've decided on the icecap ballasts, a bit pricey, but appear to be the best. I've designed, and will be building a...

I'm trying to find out what's wrong with my clownfish. I have two, one looks totally healthy, the other, the smaller one, looks very sick, he was fine yesterday. I spend about 10 minutes every night sitting and watching my tank, and tonight I just realized that my smaller clownfish is sick...

I'm just curious. Is there any reason why you couldn't make saltwater out of simple kosher salt from the 50 cent a pound box??? It's basically pure sodium with no trace minerals I know, but are these nessesary for a FO tank? Or are they very important??? I searched like crazy and couldn't...

I just used the magical UPS tracking number and it told me that my Wave2k is out on the delivery truck for delivery!! I got the short 13" model, the normal one is like 16" I think. If anyone is interested in this thing as there isn't much info out there, just let me know, hopefully I'll have...

Hey all, I just placed my first live rock order from LRs.com. 40 lbs of gulf rock, I specifically asked for the hitchhikers to seed my tank. I realize that there are basically endless possibilities, and I don't want to dip or anything else that would risk killing the GOOD stuff.. My question...

Hey all, I just brought home my new powder blue tang, so I thought I'd post the first desirnable picture I could get of this fish. This fish is ACTIVE, it's almost as hard to photograph as my clowns. After 24 hours home it's eating seaweed like crazy and swimming like a tang, so I assume that...

I added a FW black Molly to my SW tank a few months ago. I just ordered a new Wave2k wavemaker. Does anybody know if this fish can handle the current that it will create in my 75gal tank??? I doesn't seem to handle what the mag5 throughs at it, so I'm a little concerned about the wave2k...

I just finished my HUGE project of putting a new stand under my 75 gal tank, adding an actuall overflow box from Americle, and adding 60 lbs of CaribSea Aragamax Sugar Fine Sand. I had no idea this was gonna be so very much work, haha. My water also isn't nearly as cloudly as I thought it was...

Does anybody here know the compatibility of these three species?? I finally saw one of these Sebae Anemone's in a LFS and it is beautiful. Will my Ocelllaris Clown possibly take to one?? Also, would it eat a Mandarin Dragonette, I've heard that certain Anemone's will, so I DON'T want to get...

I have a question, if I gave someone bad advice would any of you tell me??? I try to only give advice I know is good, and when I'm not sure I try to make sure that I say that. But nevertheless I just realized I have like 100+ posts, and most of it has been replies, and nobody has ever said...

How much more would an EV-120 skim than an Urchin Pro??? I'm planning an upgrade on my 75 gal tank, so I'm just curious... Thanks, Joshua...

Ok, I saw this new product in the spray paint section. It's a two step painting that turns anything clear, glass, acrylic, pvc, you name it, into a mirror!!! Does anybody have any thoughts on whether this would be a good or bad idea for the back of an aquarium as a backdrop??? The paint...

Ok, I've done it, I've finally narrowed down my fish list to what I think will someday stock my 75 gal SW tank. I would like any advice anyone would like to give as to whether I might be overstocked, or any other possible concerns, mix matches, etc... 2 False Clowns 1 Blue Tang 1 Copper Banded...

Ok, I am finally ready to upgrade the lighting on my 75 gal SW tank, but I "think" I have come up with exactly what I want to use, but I would like some more advice. What I am thinking is an IceCap 660 Ballast, which says it can handle 4 bulbs up to 464 Watts. I want to run 4 96W PC on it...

:!: Ok, I bought a SeaClone 100 Skimmer, and it was a PAIN to get setup, and I finally had it working, then boom, today it TOTALLY stopped working!!!! I wish I would have found this forum before I went and bought a skimmer in the first place, I would have waited until I could afford the AquaC...

I took yall's advice on acclimating a FW molly for a SW tank and it seems to have worked like a charm!!! I finally have a black element in my tank that won't kill all my other fish!! When I first put her in, my blue damsel and my two false clowns chased her around for like ten minutes, so I...

Does anybody know for sure exactly how water from a RO/DI unit should test if you run the whole suite of tests on it, PH, KH, GH, SG, Nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, etc....??? I'm mostly interested in the PH, alk, hardness and phosphates tests though, cause my city water is like ph 8.5, very...

Aight, I just spent like two hours searching the net and this forum for links to places selling u-tube overflow boxes with no success. If anybody has such a link you would be my bestestest friend for like, awhile, haha. I've decided that I don't want to drill my tank as no glass shops will...

Ok, I've read that saltwater snails are extremely hard to breed, and that almost all are wild caught. My fiance bought a HUGE one a couple of months ago and after bringing it home it started getting little tiny white spots all over it. In the last few days they have started to climb off and...
