I'm looking at purchasing a skimmer for our 75g. Can anyone chime in with suggestions and/or personal experiences with their equipment? Is $250 an unrealistic budget for this purchase? I know it won't be top of the line, but I'm trying to stay within a set budget. TIA. EDIT: Sorry. Due to...

We just recently upgraded to the Lunar Aqualight 4-65W + 4 LED's. Is it appropriate to keep both sets of the 10k and actinic 03's on the same schedule or should one type come on / go off before / after the other? Since our previous light fixture was a 50/50, we didn't have the option of...

We currently have a Coralife 130W 50/50 with compact fluorescents, which is on the fritz. Disregarding the cost, if I upgraded to the 48" Aqualight 4-65W and fan, would there be too much light? I see that the next step up in their lights has the lunar lights (LED). Would I reap any...

Well, yesterday was the day that I've been dreading since my wife and I decided to move. With my parents' help, we moved the 75g. The distance wasn't that great, but man, what an undertaking. We did unfortunately, lose our chalk basslet. RIP chalky. He was a great fish. He was a little...

I found this article on MSNBC.com, and thought it was interesting. I also saw a thread discussing peppermint shrimps, so I thought I'd share. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6797142/

Here's a story I found on Yahoo! http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=570&ncid=753&e=1&u=/nm/20040701/sc_nm/environment_australia_reef_dc

I have this thing living in our substrate below an overhang of one of our pieces of live rock. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what it might be? TIA.

I recently saw an ad for a 150 g tank with the lights (assume fluorescent), stand and glass tops. The accompanying equipment is: 2 Emperor 400 filters 1 CPR Bak Pak skimmer 2 300w heaters 1 MJ PH The price is $400. Assuming the tank/stand is in acceptable condition, is this price OK? I don't...

We currently have a 75 g FOWLR. The pH usually tests out between 8.00 and 8.05. I'd like to see it a little higher. Water is currently being circulated by an xp2 (~300 gph), and a maxijet 400 (~100 gph). I have two maxijet 900's that will be put into the tank this week. I currently have...

I've edited my posts previously, but now can't seem to find the button that allows me to edit my posts. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I found this on www.cnn.com, and thought some may be interested. Enjoy. http://www.cnn.com/2003/TRAVEL/DESTINATIONS/12/30/seahorse.swan.song.ap/index.html

Did something happen that gave everybody the same number of kudos? I somehow have 300 of them.

We currently have a 75 g FOWLR. My concern is about water movement. I hear (see) everybody talking about wave makers and powerheads, and am starting to wonder if I'm missing the boat. I'm a little obsessive compulsive about worrying about it, so I hope you guys can put my mind at ease. We...

My six line has not been eating as he had in the past. It appears that he may be losing a bit of his color near his face. For those of you with six lines, what have you had success with in feeding them? He used to eat the frozen food, but doesn't seem to be interested during feedings anymore...

We just purchased a 20 gallon rubbermaid trash can, in which we will mix our new water, to make water changes a little easier. Is there something that we should do (treat/scrub) to the trash can before we start using it to mix up new water? TIA.

We currently have a 75g FOWLR (60 lbs.). The current residents are as follows: 2 clowns, 1 banded goby, 1 canary blenny, 1 six-line wrasse, 1 CB, 1 cleaner shrimp, and 1 african starfish. We recently returned a flame angel to the LFS as he was bothering the CB a little too much. The plan is...

I'm planning on introducing some chromis into our 75 g FOWLR. We currently have 2 clowns, 1 six-line wrasse, 1 coral beauty, and 1 flame angel. Would the green or blue chromis be better? I'm leaning towards getting 3. Is that sufficient or not enough? TIA. :)

My wife has recently fallen in love with the tassle file at the LFS. We were told that the tassle file is a hardy fish, but it just looks so fragile. I'm a little concerned about it 'making it' in our 75g FOWLR. The current residents are: 2 clowns 1 six-line wrasse 1 coral beauty 1 flame...

My wife and I are relatively new to the hobby. We have a 75g FOWLR. The tank came with a single bulb fluorescent light. We are planning on upgrading the lighting for the tank, and were wondering if you guys had any suggestions on improving the lighting. Thanks in advance.
