    How are you keeping your aquariums cool?

    Normally we wouldn't have to deal with temperatures like this. This year has just been abnormal for the Midwest, even more than what it normally is!

    How are you keeping your aquariums cool?

    I live in Midwestern Indiana, where its been 100+ the past few weeks (and looks like it will continue that way for awhile). Even though the house is fairly cool, the aquarium is getting fairly warm (~81). What are some effective ways to keep the tank cool?

    Tell me what you know about my lionfish

    I should have used a stick, but I just used my fingers instead. With them being long pieces, there was enough distance to keep my fingers from his mouth. With me feeding like this, he eventually figured out the big hand was going to feed him. After a while, I could put my hand on the glass, and...

    Tell me what you know about my lionfish

    When I had a dwarf lion, I fed live like you did, and slowly weaned him off of it onto silversides. I would buy a pack of frozen silversides and thaw out a whole one, or half of one depending on size of the dwarf lion. Id hold it in the tank, and wiggle it around, or at least try to, like a...

    What is a good type of fish food?

    +1 on aquadine. I get the "tang blend," I can't remember what's in it right now, but all of my fish attack it. When I had a dwarf lionfish and a porcupine puffer, they would gladly eat it as readily as live foods.

    Clean up crew question

    Have you looked into reefcleaners.org? I have never ordered from them, but when the time comes to upgrade my CUC, I've heard enough great reviews to go with them.

    Lionfish compatability

    I had a dwarf fuzzy for 5 months. While they are a very beautiful fish to watch, they truly are a pain to watch over, especially when you want smaller sized fish in the tank with it. Feeding was also a hassle at first, as he only ate live food. I had a small tank set up to do nothing but breed...

    What is this?

    This is growing between some fuzzy mushrooms... it retracts when touched. What is it?

    Best T5 bulb?

    I bought a used 8-bulb fixture for my recently bought 95 gallon wave that I am setting up. The bulbs look like they came with the fixture when it was new, so I want to get new bulbs, so I know how old they are. Main question, which are the best T5 bulbs? Should I just run 4 actinics, 4 whites...

    Turf Scrubber Advice

    Honestly, I'm not set on LEDs, just seemed like they would work as well as others. I've never worked with the spiral bulbs, or the reflectors. Where can I get the reflectors and bulbs? How much would it take?

    Turf Scrubber Advice

    Amazon.com: 10 Watt LED Waterpoof Outdoor Security Floodlight 85-264V AC, 3701WH: Home Improvement Would these work as well? I like the idea of having the LED over the Fluorescent.

    Turf Scrubber Advice

    Do you by any chance have a link to them? I had originally planned on building my own, but if they are fairly cheap then it would be easier to buy them instead if dealing with the DIY headache.

    Turf Scrubber Advice

    I'm building a vertical turf scrubber for my new 95 gallon tank. The box and the screen and plumbing is no problem. What I am having a problem with is the lights to grow the screen. I want to use LEDs, but I don't know what kind are the best, and how many to use. I have heard warm whites are...

    Salt critters?

    I have bought from them before, and will buy again. They are actually local to me, and the way I found out about them was through reading the threads here on AA. Instead of having them shipped, we just agreed to meet at a central location to us. The corals were nicely packed, and very healthy...
