I'm moving and need to sell my entire setup. Main equipment and livestock is listed below. The tank was established about 2.5 years ago and is very stable and healthy. I would much prefer to sell to an experienced aquarist. I will update with pictures and an asking price soon. Equipment...

I have a durso standpipe in the overflow of my 90g. It's been going ok for over 2 years now but I'm always having to adjust how much air it needs let into it. It'll be fine for a few weeks and then the water level in the overflow will starting going up and down and making gurgling noises...

In the pic, you can see a head with two antennae. There is a web-like substance that extends from the head and it sort of reels it in very slowly. It can quickly dart back in the hole. Any ideas?

I have a refugium in my sump as well as a HOB refugium. They've become rather murky places. Should I periodically clean out? Not with soap or anything but just wash off the rocks and clean off the sides and whatnot. I'm guessing this would kill most of the stuff in there. Or should I just...

I've recently noticed these in my HOB fuge. They're about the size of pods and are typically on the glass but they can swim to some extent. I've never seen them in my main. I'm concerned that they could be something bad. Appear to have a tube-like body. Anyone have a clue?

I've had some of these roaming around ever since I setup my tank. They were hitchhikers from Florida Gulf LR.

I'd like to have a temp controller for my cooling fan. Right now I just have it run when the lights are on. http://www.amazon.com/ESU-Reptile-Electronic/dp/B0002602R8?tag2=gp04-20 $25 but it would need the wiring to be reversed somehow. It's designed to control a heater, rather than a cooler...

Recently got a Tiget Pistol Shrimp to accompany my Orange Spotted Shrimp Goby. Took all of 5 minutes for them to find each other and pair up. Watching the two together has been really cool. There is one side effect, however, that I did not anticipate. The pistol shrimp is digging around so...

I have some fist-size rocks that I would like to put together to form a structure. They are all dry base rock. I was thinking cement, maybe? Don't want to use anything that is going to release chemicals into the tank, of course. Any suggestions?

I have a pistol shrimp (hitchhiker with my Florida LR) that I've had in my 90 gal with a shrimp goby for about a year. They've never been seen together. Guy at my LFS told me that only some types of pistol shrimp hook up with gobies. Is this true?

Wondering if they would form a symbiotic relationship or if they would be in competition for burrows. I have a pistol shrimp and planning to get a jawfish.

Thinking about getting a Pearl Jawfish (or maybe two) for my 90 gal tank. I don't have a cover for it. Is it really likely that a bottom dwelling fish would jump out of a tank as deep as a 90? I think they'd be worth some eggcrate though. They sure looked cool! There is a pair of them at...

I have some smaller rocks that I'd like to attach to each other to form a structure. I think cement would work but it's a bit of pain and messy. Does anyone have some easier methods? Thanks!

Since my Yellow Tang is territorial with newcomers, I was thinking of putting him in a QT for a bit while I put the new fish in the main. How long do you think it would take for him to "forget" and think it's a new place when he goes back in the main?

I'm advising a friend on setting up a 20 gal SW tank. Having only a 90 with overflow and sump, I'm not sure what the best advice is for water movement in a 20 gal. Setting up an overflow box and sump would be too much for him right now. I was thinking 2 MJ's would be fine but film will...

I know there are rules of thumb on this sort of thing but there's really just too much to factor in to just have a rule. I recently added a Powder Brown Tang and a Regal Tang. So I'm wondering if now I'm maxed out, or close. Setup: 90 gal reef, 30 gal sump, 150 # LR, Skimmer: AquaC Urchin...

I have xenia that I frequently have to prune. PM me if you would like some anytime.

I have some xenia that needs pruning near my BTA which my clown lives in. Whenever I start messing around near there he starts looking pretty menacing. Am I gonna get bit? Are there any warning signs that a clown might show that I'm pushing my luck?

Guy at the LFS told me purple fire gobies are hard to keep. I was thinking about getting one but I wanted to check on that. I searched and found nothing about them being tough to keep. Such a pretty fish! Thanks

My kenya tree has been slumped over for a day now. Everything else you see in my signature below looks perfectly normal. Is there something in particular that kenya trees are sensitive to? No, haven't tested the water yet but I'm going to. I only have test kits for ammonia, pH, alk, and ca...

I can't seem to find an enclosed light hood for a 20 gal with the exception of the NO flourescent hoods (i.e. perfecto). Was thinking of getting the Coralife Aqualight Deluxe Double Linear Strip Fixtures (PC) but I want it enclosed. Is DIY the only option? Sorry - should've mentioned, yes, I...

I'm helping a friend setup a 20 gal. TampaBaySaltwater is the only place I know of that has LR for sale out of Florida. He lives in Tampa so something out of Florida is preferable. LiveRocks.com still says they have nothing to sell. Is there anything else available?

It seems to be growing on mine. It's definitely pink/purple. Is this common or am I mistaking it for something else?

I have lots of amphipods that look like this: http://web.odu.edu/sci/biology/jrh/whatis.htm I saw what looked like the molt of one in my refugium. Do they molt?

After about 6 months of having a green BTA, one of my clowns finally figured out what she's supposed to do! For the first time, I saw her snuggling up against the BTA today. :D She's still a little confused though. There is some xenia right next to it and she wiggles around in that too.
