I found lights (Radion XR30 Blue), 2xMP40QD & a MP60QD pumps, new sump, etc. Now I need to find a protein Skimmer. Please let me know if you run across an appropriately sized PS. TIA

Thanks. I found 180 full system in PA, but he backed out at the last minute and decided to part it all out. Lucky for me because the next day I found a rather new 210 that's now sitting in what should be a dining room. This is going to be fun.

Hi all, After losing my reef aquarium during Super Storm Sandy I didn't have the heart or time to start up again. Now that I'm retired I'm looking to setup a 180/225 reef aquarium. I'm looking for a 6' long tank, stand, sump, etc. I'm located near New Brunswick, NJ so anything within about 50...

What Mr. X said! Here's my blurb on snails... Astrea Snail-most common of all saltwater tank snails. They are excellent algae eaters and will forage all over the rock, sand, and glass. They fall very easily and can not right themselves up and then die unless you right them. Banded Trochus...

You had asked for articles on starting out. Have you checked our AA Articles section yet? Stock list and tips for maintaining your SW tank (STARTING OUT) is a good place to start. Good luck, have fun and most of all ENJOY!

Moved to Freshwater & Brackish - Unhealthy Fish

:deadhorse: My suggestion is 1) unless you know that an anemone is fragged from another already in captivity, or split from one in captivity, don't buy it; 2) unless you know exactly what #1 needs in terms of light, and care, and your tank can provide for it, don't buy it; 3) unless the person...

A few years ago there was a thread about a Netting program for the native fishermen in the Indo-Pacific region. Many folks here donated a few dollars to help buy nets and teach the local population how to safely catch fish for export instead of using cyanide or dynamite. BUT, this thread has...

In general Tangs are like the jet fighters of the marine aquarium. They are VERY FAST and cover long distances in an instant. That is part of the reason for needing a 6' tank at a minimum. I have a 6' tank and wish it was twice as long so I could actually watch the tangs swim freely for more...

There are tests for most of the standard tests. Check ou the Milwakee testers.

They are pretty close. I bought a Typhoon II from airwaterice.com 8 or nine years ago. I've replaced the membrane once and the other filters as needed. It's a quality filter with clear housings so I can see when the the sediment filter is getting dirty and when the DI resin is starting to be...

There are only two proven cures for marine Ich. Copper treatment (hard to do and control dosage) or Hyposalinity Everything else is snake oil, but may appear to work for a while. The life cycle of Ich is approximately 28 days. The stage when you can spots is only a few days. The parasite...

Global Warming is a fact! The cause of GW is still being debated. Is it just another natural cycle, or has mankind contributed to it in some small (or very large) way. National Geographic has a very good article on GW which can be found at Global Warming Fast Facts From a 2007article...

How big is your tank? What livestock do you have in the tank now? Do you have any Live Rock? Do you have any inverts? A small QT tank for an 8 week hypo period not that much. Probably less than the cost of replacing all the fish.

I always drip acclimate for an hour to stabilize before adding them to the tank. How are yours doing now? Acans I just glue to LR on the lower level in an area of lower flow, but that can change if I inadvertently move a ph during tank maintenance, so far so good on the Acan front. SPS I...

Any other suggestions? How about Pet Kingdom?

I'm visiting my niece and she and her bf want to start a fw tank. Any suggestions on a good lfs in the area? TIA

I use a MaxiJet 1200 for my PWCs, both to mix the water and to move it from my 30 gallon tank to my 125. MaxiJets have a great reputation. I would suggest a MJ600 or MJ900 for your needs. Check our sponsors for an online order. Depending on where you live it may only take a day or two to get...

Your link is broken, but that article is a Mid-80's style of reef-keeping. Plenums have been out of vogue for more than 10 years. If you are looking for good information this site has it. If you have a question, just ask.

Folks, this is a SHOW OFF/PHOTOGRAPHY Forum and thread. Please keep the chit chat to a minimum. Off topic posts should be moved to PM or create a new thread in the appropriate forum. Thank you.

How deep is your sandbed? How much LR do you have? What is the tank size? Bacteria coat all surfaces, and the sand has way more surface area than the LR. You want to take some of the old sand with you. Not all of it, but the top inch or two from part of the tank. That will help seed the new...

Fragging is NOT a failure. It's a part of tank maintenance! :) And you have matured to the point of recognizing that less is more, but don't go too far with that concept of tank maintenance. About a 20% PWC every other week is still a good idea. It helps replenish the trace elements that get...
