It seemed that after a year of having a successful marine tank (patting on my own back) with an orbit compact flourescent fixture, that things would just be normal and stay as they are for long. BUT, as a couple who never seems to be happy with what we have, we splurged into a $900 36" metal...

im shopping around for blue moon lights for my tank. my tank is 36" long. what are my options?

remora with maxijet and you ll have some cash to spare. good luck

What are the things that I need to know about salt water aquariums? There are a ton of things to know about saltwater aquarium, however, it can be taken one step at a time. Research is the key, start with the basics and move up slowly. My suggestion is buy the BEST stuff u can afford. Buying...

i cant think of parting with either fish. I love all my fish. Having this tank for over a year and not having any saltwater experience, they have all gone through this experience with me and have all survived. If i remember correctly the flame angel was the second or third fish we bought. Coral...

thing is I have 100 lbs of rock.. plenty of caves and places to hide. this is all new activity. for over a year they got along.

what about adding Chaeto in the preskimmer box? does Chaeto need light? i have an aqua C PS.

like mjvincent said. some turbo snails. many red legged hermits. my turbos are multiplying and I have about 20 hermits. i was told a new batch of hermits will have to be bought every now and then.

our Coral Beauty has been terrorizing our Flame angel. Its been over a year now that the tank is running and we have never encountered anything like this. All fish were getting along just fine.. and still do.. just the coral beauty is now always after the flame. Flame angel is now in a little...

tripper I dont know much about refugiums. I know I will need another maxi jet to pump the included protein skipper... does the water then just flow back into the tank or am I going to need another pump?

Im thinking of adding a HOB refugium to my 65 gallon tank. I was looking at this http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/aquafugeps.html What I dont know is if this will actually be beneficial to my tank. its only 4.5 gallons.
