I use Ebojagger heaters, never had any problems with them. You didn't say what type of tank you have (FW,SW) also if you have MH lighting this will raise the temperature in your tank. IM sure others will post everyone has there favorites.

The Spotted Grouper, also known as the Whitespotted Grouper, Summan Grouper, or Speckled Fin Grouper, has a dark brown to black body marked by white polka-dots. A 70 gallon or larger aquarium is required due to its size and feeding habits. It is an extremely aggressive fish and may eat tank...

Before you go and purchase anything, You should take a look into the future and decide what you plan on keeping in your tank. Buying from the web is cheaper but watch the S&H charge it can wind up being more expensive. If you plan on keeping acropora's and clams I would suggest you start with at...

Can you enlarge the picture, Hard to tell but maybe a Scooter blenny

Guess thats what it was. First time I ever saw this. They must do this when the lights are out or I think I would have seen this as cloudy as the tank became.

I was looking at my 75 gal. reef and this plume of white started coming up from a hole the bristle worm had been in, The bristle worm has been in my tank from the beginning about 5 years and is about 14" in length. It looked like when snails put sperm up during mating only it came from the sand...

Sorry about the clam. I have never heard of this happening without being dropped or having a piece of live rock falling on it. I can not say what the out come will be but here is a link to a clam site I belong to. They are friendly and willing to help, just as this site is. Good luck. When the...

Time to find a new LFS, Electrobes I don't think you were rough enough on a salesman like that. I second the tar and feathering. screaminbuckeye try and contact Hara she keeps different types of eels and would be a great source of information, sorry I cant help you as I have never kept eels my...

Now I know where I saw that DIY chiller :lol: , Nice job troutman

I am not sure if it was on this site or elsewhere but in one of the DIY post they made a chiller out of a small cooler with tubing and a small pump, using ice cubes to cool down the tank. guess you would have to watch that the temp. dosen't go to cold. This might buy you some time why your...

No problem My lights are now on the tank looks great even the algae, Forgot to lower the photo period :oops: . My clean up crew is making fast work of that.

I have only had the XM bulbs for about a week, But with what I am seeing and the way the corals and clams are responding, I think I am going to be happy with them. Nothing against the blue hue of the Hamiltons but I wanted the crisp white only my preference everybody has there own likes and...

I can't talk about the Ushios, but I just recieved my 175 watt 10,000k XM MH. They are very bright and have a crisp white color. The people I spoke to from Hellolights had stated they would not guarante that the Ushios would fire up or run properly on my regular ballast. But had stated the XM...

You should be very proud. That is a great looking tank. Shows alot of hard work

Male Salty and lovin it

Great deal. They never seem to come my way :(

As far as your Anchor coral goes it should be about middle to the top of your tank with a moderate flow. Your Blue rimmed Deresa only has one problem I see. This clam can grow twice it size in one year, from your picture it looks like it could be tight. My Deresa opened fully the next day. Clams...

RR is right UV should be left on 24/7 and run at a slow rate to kill parasites in there infancy state. Besides replacing the bulb every 6 months, you might want to clean the glass tube every couple of months as algae will cover the tube reducing its effectiveness.

Before my 75 gal. reef broke a silicone joint in the bottom last year, My DSB which was and is 5 " of bagged live sand from the LFS was a little over 4 years old. I had no problems that could not be pinned on my mistakes but my tank was thriving. When I setup up my new tank I used the old sand...

For long acclimations I use a heating pad wrapped in foil. this has helped keep my water warm for hours. Just place it under your bucket and set it on a med. heat.

I ran my Berlin both ways and really didn't see a difference in how it worked. The main reason I placed mine in my sump was to get rid of the big PH sitting in my tank, Kind of takes away from the natural look. The sump is a great way to get the hardware out of the main tank and hide it.

My friend picked up some rocks from the sea shore, for my Cichlid tank I will be starting shortly. To make sure these are clean and free of any containments, Do I boil these and if so for how long? Thanks for any info.

I have been using Hagen Aqua Clears with no trouble. Like many others I learned the hard way about Rio's. Sorry they are just plain garbage.
