    Something in my brain

    It has never come out anytime I have been watching. I have never seen a bristle worm with a mouth on it like this.

    Something in my brain

    I have a open brain coral for 4 months now. I noticed a hole appear in it awhile (3 months) ago but noticed nothing at the time. I looked at it tonight and there is a creature in the hole! I could not get a clear pic of it but here is the best description I can give. It looks like the creature...

    Too much light?

    I have a new tank as my old one had a seal that started to let go. This one is a 65 with the dims of 36x18x26. I have one 250 MH now that is not yet mounted. Due to a center brace I was thinking of getting another 250. Is this too much? I realize this is about 7.7 wpg which is not too much but...

    Help! I think my seal on my tank may soon let go!

    Today I noticed one of the sealed edges looked to have some sand behind it and as I looked closer it looks as if there is a water pocket in a couple spots around the seam. Has anyone seen this and if so is it close to letting go? Oh yeah, the water pocket is almost to the end of the seal. Sorry...

    MH over a 55 with a center brace...

    My tank has those dimensions.What I may do is put the light over the center and use my PC's to fill in the rest That way I have an area of high light and if I need a lower light area I have one. The only reason is that I will upgrade later and I want a 250 so I can use it on the upgrade. Thanks...

    MH over a 55 with a center brace...

    I want to put a single 250W over my tank but to center it would mean I would have a bad shadow in the tank. Any solutions? I am not keen on cutting the center brace. What I was thinking was to place the MH on one side and have my pc's cover over the other side. It is a squat tank so only 36"...

    T5 vs MH.....

    I can't make sense of some of the info i have been reading about T5. From what I am reading T5 is as good if not better. I understand the heat issue with MH. How high should the MH be above the water line and/ or a glass cover? Any input would be appreciated.

    True and False Clowns can they get along?

    I had one of my false clowns meet a PH ( since been covered) and not make it. I went to the lfs and bought what was sold as a false but now that I look at him/her I realize it is a true. My other 3 are terrorizing it. Is this just because the fish is new ( 2 weeks) or is it a species barrier?

    I have a 20 with nothing in it and I was wondering if you need live sand and rock in it? Maybe those who are running frag tanks can tell me how they have it set up. TIA.

    There is 600gph being pushed in the tank so I just want to be able to black out the rocks and some how save the corals short of cutting them off.

    Tank contamination through hands

    I read on another site that someone who was a plumber had came home and didn't wash his hands then for some reason reached into the tank with all the resins and other chemicals on his hands. Apparently his whole tank crashed! Thats a lot of of time, patience and $ down the tubes for a little...

    Lighting for a 55

    I am looking to upgrade to MH and I would like to know what wattage and possibly what brands some fellow reefers use that you would recommend. I would like the option of keeping virtually any type of coral or clam. TIA.
