I used to use egg-crate, but it "Diffused" too much light for me.

Thanks for all the sentiments guys. And thanks to the MODS too for cleaning up my language without deleting this thread. I was a little upset when I posted this last night. I'm still not very happy, as you can imagine. I only have or had 3 fish total. The Foxface was getting pretty beat up...

Tyson, my beloved Tuskfish has gone missing. I cant find him anywhere. He has jumped before, but I don't see him in my overflow or around the back of the tank. I don't want to jump to conclusions but Bruce wasn't very hungry at feeding time tonight. He usually swims right up to the top of...

What is your SG? Temp? Have you added ANYTHING to the tank like Iodine or Copper? Do you have kids? Kids throws stuff around that can cause havok in a reef tank (like Pennies).

Been wanting one for years now and finally decided to try one. I got it from someone who had it in his tank for a year now. Its been in my tank for less than 20 hours. Here are a couple of pics. Tell me what you think:

We need more information about your setup first. Please post as much as possible and include all numbers for test included Amonia, Trites, Trates, PH, Phosphates, Ca, Alk, SG, Temp, Lighting-how long since bulbs been changed, how old is the tank...etc?

Very possible. If it does that once in a while, its no biggie, but if its looking like its throwing up its intestins you have a problem. Do you have a pic?

Depends on the type of fish you want to keep. I have a very aggressive tank, so I cant keep many inverts like crabs, shrimp or snails. I have never had any issues with starfish though. Guess they are too crunchy for my fish. Do your research on the fish you want to keep BEFORE you buy it.

Sounds like it is expelling its zoanthalia (SP). Sign of stress. Its not a good thing. Have you added any new corals to your tank? How close is it to any neighboring corals? It could be reacting to some chemical warfare in your tank. I would do a water change and add fresh carbon ASAP.

Bump... There are a limited amount of seats still available.
