Muraena pavonina - sometimes called Brazilian Dragon or White Spotted Moray... Anyone have any info on this eel? They are rarely found in the aquarium trade. A lfs has one available. I have a lot of experience with eels, and I know that every creature is different. But, I can't find any...

Anyone use this stuff? Devcon epoxy? Amazon.com: Devcon I T W #44229 2OZ Repair Epoxy Putty: Home Improvement Searching through old posts I found someone claiming they used epoxy to stop a slow pvc joint leak. I've got one cemented joint with a very slow drip. I know silicone is not the...

I bought a used (very used) 3x175 mh unit off a local reefer. Looks like this was a retro kit in a Hamilton canopy. So, the guy had one bulb only when I bought it and showed me that it worked in all 3 sockets. He was practically giving this thing away after trying to sell on the board for months...

I just bought a used 3x175w MH hood. It needs a little tlc but I got it at a good price. One thing is that it has 3 mogul sockets but a white background...no reflectors at all. I'd like to add reflectors but I noticed everywhere I look the reflectors have the sockets included. Isn't there...

I've finally gotten to setting up a 210g tank. I have a Mag return pump and a Sedra skimmer pump that have been sitting in salt water for about 3 months not running...not the greatest idea as I look back on it. How should I clean these. Do I just do the old vinegar bath overnight? Or do I...

So, after much thought I've got what is the start of a stocking list for my much anticipated 210 gallon upgrade. I've posted a few times for suggestions, but now I've got a list of my own. Keep in mind that this is a wish list and I am looking for feedback. I realize I have a lot of real...

I got a used Current 72" Orbit Fixture 4x96w PC bulbs for a 210g tank that I just bought. I don't plan on keeping many corals, mainly fish only but I do have some softies that I may move over there. I got a good deal on this light so I jumped at it, but now that I'm thinking about it - the...

So, I posted a few months ago asking for feedback on a fish list for a new 125g set-up...WELL, before I even put water in the tank I've upgraded AGAIN to a 210g, which I pick up on Saturday. I plan on doing a FOWL set-up and the only fish that I HAVE to have is a porcupine puffer. So, how...

I'm moving in a new 210 gallon this weekend. Does anyone know how much a 210 AGA weighs empty? Or, is there a link that will give me aquarium weights? I found a few links but none listed the weight of the 210, and AGA's website is gone? Or moved maybe? Thanks.

I know...what the heck am I talking about? Well, I bought a used 125RR a few months ago, only setting up now. There is a bulkhead drilled THROUGH the overflow (see another post with pics here... http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98101 ) The guy I bought it from says he was...

Finally beginning work on a 125RR in my basement. Plan to plumb through a wall in my finished side, over to a 50g sump/fuge in the unfinished side. I was running a Mag 9.5 for the past year as a return in my 110 set-up and I wasn't happy with it. Very noisy and ran hot. Still in perfect...

I just bought a used 125g tank which has dual overflows. Now, the previous owner plumbed a bulkhead through one of the overflows. So, there is a bulkhead in the bottom front of the overflow and glued plumbing which connects the bulkhead to the return bulkhead in the bottom of the overflow box...

So, been posting recently about an upgrade. Starting from scratch with a 125g 6foot tank. I have about 225lbs of live rock, undecided about a deep sand bed but probably 3-4", ASM G3 Skimmer, a 50g sump/fuge (probably holds about 35-40 gallons of water). I've got a dream list but I'm assuming...

Going to a FOWLR system, aggressive tank. Considering an eel. I've owned a couple snowflakes and a zebra so I'm aware of their needs - but, I've never had a reef ready tank. My new 125g will be reef ready, do I need to somehow eel proof the overflows? I'm I wrong to assume one could get in...

How risky would this be? Upgrading and planning on getting a porc puffer. The only fish I really want to keep is my mandarin. Have had her for almost 2 years and is temporarily housed in a 29g with my seahorses but suddenly stopped eating frozen for some reason following the move. So, I'm a...

So, I'm breaking down my 110g. The problem is, I'm trying to upgrade to a 6 foot tank but I'm having a hard time finding a used set-up near me. I HAVE to break down the 110g now due to work being done on the house. So, I'm planning on keeping the contents of my fuge and the rock from my main...

So, I'm upgrading my 110g 4 foot tank to a 6 foot tank. I've had the 110 for a couple years and I've done a mix of things with it. I've always been into the fish more than corals and I've always been a fan of aggressive tanks. I'm thinking if I go with a 125 or a 180 that I might go the...

Anyone use crushed coral at ALL anymore? Breaking down my 110g, probably upgrading to a 180 and moving my seahorses to a 30g. I have a little Southdown sand left but I have 2 big bags of Crushed Coral from "back in the day". This stuff must be like 12 years old. I have some dolomite too...

So, I've been battling flatworms for what seems like forever. I've been keeping them at bay, but have been doing a lot of work on the house during the spring and haven't been siphoning out as often as usual. I also have seahorses so I need to have low flow and feed often. The only fish I have...

My male seahorse has suddenly stopped eating. For a couple days about a week or so ago he wouldn't eat anything. Then he snapped out of it, and showed interest in food - however he spits out 90% of what he snicks up. I have 4 seahorses in a large 160g set-up (including sump/fuge water). Tank...

Quick one today. Can I use a RedSea saltwater ph test kit to test freshwater ph? I'm trying to match ph for a freshwater dip and I don't have a freshwater ph test kit - but, I thought ph was ph, right? Saltwater kits just have a higher range?

So, something is very wrong. My house ranges from 68-70 degrees. My tank has been pretty stable at 72-73 for weeks since I lowered the temperature for seahorses. All of a sudden things are going flaky. Over the past week, the temperature has slowly climbed to 77. It is still 68-70 in my...

Any reason why my skimmer would fill the collection cup in a matter of hours following adding a small amount of feather caulerpa to the main tank? I noticed that some of the "feathers" were opaque. I don't know if that's a bad thing. I'm not sure what "going sexual" actually looks like, but...

Which Kent liquid product should I be purchasing to feed non photosynthetic gorgonians? phytoplex, microvert, or zooplex? - Skins

My mandarin has been in my system for about 10 months. She has always been on the skinny side but recently started accepting frozen foods. I've been feeding her mysis daily and she's been eating it very enthusiastically. Recently, I've noticed a discoloration on her fins. White patches on...
