    Is a 'no CO2 added' 125 gallon planted tank with 2 or 3 80watt T5HO lights possible?

    Due to money (or lack thereof), I'm considering converting my 125 gallon AGA reef to a freshwater tank, and am looking into what is possible with it. Options I'm considering are an African mbuna tank, an African hap/peacock tank, or a planted community tank. I know what it would take for the...

    DIY closed loop circuit with Calfo-style return manifold ...

    I've got a AGA 125 gallon that I'm setting up as a reef, I bought a cheap glass drill bit on eBay (about $9, including shipping), drilled two 1.5" holes, plumbed them together to the input to a Barracuda pump, and have the output going to a Calfo-style output manifold over the tank, works great...

    Separate sump and fuge flow question...

    I'm setting up a 125 gallon reef, in a standard All-Glass stand. Short on the inside, if ya know what I mean. I already have a 30 gallon sump, with no fuge section. The return section has a 1" bulkhead in it for an external pump, but I'm going to be using a Mag9 as an internal pump since I've...

    Tiny, tiny white 'bugs', what the heck are they!?

    My boy has a 75 gallon discus tank with 7 discus in it, and one small motoro (I think) stingray. He's been treating the tank with 'Pemifix' and 'Melafix' (again, I think that's how they're spelled) for about a week and a half for fungus on the stingray. Well, tonight he notices a bunch of fine...

    Sometimes I just gotta learn myself...

    All the warnings about dwarf angels in a reef, and I just couldn't resist anymore! I was at That Fish Places annual sale (should be called 'annual zoo' it was so busy, I waited an hour and a half in line to pay), and just HAD to get the flame angel at 20% off. So, I couldn't resist, and time...

    Pool filter sand OK for a FOWLR tank?

    I'm considering converting my 125 gallon African chiclid tank to a FOWLR, but only if I can do it 'cheap' (relatively speaking). I can get pool filter sand cheaply, under $10 for a 50 pound bag, it's white, looks good in a small chiclid tank I've got, and was wondering if it was acceptable for...

    Critter ID please...

    I just picked up a couple of small colonies of zoo's from a LFS, when I got them home I found this critter in the bag of one of them: What could this critter possibly be? There are no more of them on either colony, I made sure of that. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

    Good starfish? Bad starfish? Anyone know?

    I found this starfish in my tank, crawling on some zoo's. About the size of a nickel: Anyone know if it's safe for the main tank? Or should I banish it to the sump, or maybe dispose of it? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

    Blastomussa Merletti questions...

    There's a beautiful piece of Blasto Merletti at a LFS that I'm considering getting. So, some questions. What's the 'going price' of a 2" by 2" piece that's in great shape? They're asking $90, which seems steep to me. Also, I've got a 29 gallon reef, with 130 watt's PC lighting, is the lighting...

    Bacteria bloom (white cloudy water) in water change tub?

    My boy is getting a bacteria bloom in the water he prepares for doing water changes for his 75 gallon discus tank, and was wondering if anyone had any idea's as to what is going on. We've got a 32 gallon Brute rubber trash can that he uses. Yesterday, he emptied it out, and filled it with 65%...

    Can mushrooms/zoos be attached to vertical rock faces?

    Just another newbie reefer question. I've got some vertical rock faces that, in my opinion, would look good with some mushrooms or zoos attached. Is it ok to superglue them to the vertical rock faces? Also, how about pulsing xenia?

    What's up (or down, as the case may be) with my hammer?

    Had it for a week, and it's been fine. Just did a 5 gallon water change, and since then it's been 'withdrawn', with a thread of something slimey coming from it: One red arrow is pointing out the thread waving in the water, the other red arrow points to where it comes out of the hammer...

    Brain coral bleaching (I think), requesting help (pics...)

    I've had this brain coral for 5 days now, and it's losing it's color, slowly. When I got it the lfs said to place it in the substrate, so that's where I've got it. I was wondering if it's in trouble, if so, what is that trouble, and what can I do about it. Should it be placed so it's 'foot'...

    How do I feed a skunk cleaner shrimp?

    Finally went and got some livestock for my new 29 gallon tank, a false perc and a skunk cleaner shrimp. The perc is a little pig, eats flakes and pellets like crazy. But, of course, didn't do my homework on the shrimp, and was wondering how I should feed it. Is it strictly a scavenger, so I...

    How 'tight' should I get glass baffles cut to fit diy sump?

    15 gallon tank being used as the sump, 24x12,12. The side panels of the tank are 11 7/8 inches, and that is 'glass-on-glass' fit. When I get my glass baffles cut (hopefully tonight), should I go with 11 7/8 inches wide, or back it off a 16th of an inch and get them cut at 11 13/16 inches...

    Baffles for a 15 gallon sump... How high?

    I know, I know, 'test it to see if it overflows'. But, how can I test it until I build it? ;) So, I'm thinking 8 inch high baffles. The tank is 24 long, 12 wide, 12 high. That leaves 4 inches for overflow, which equates roughly to 4 gallons for overflow when power is cut off. I'll have a...
