Protein skimmer My LFS has advised me that with weekly 5gal water changes and not over feeding the fish, a protein skimmer is not needed. I'm not sure where I would put one anyway as the top comes down too low over the main part of the tank and the big chamber in the back is full of live rock...

I love my 29 gal Bio cube! It's just big enough to have plenty of room, although not big enough for tangs, but small enough that maintaining it is a breeze. I was real zealous about taking readings every day, then it got to be every other day, then once a week, now, I'm real lazy. I do...

Since the FAQ under Identification doesn't work (can only see one pic no matter what you click), I'm forced to start here. This is two pics of a "volunteer" that just showed up in my tank a couple of months ago, even though I haven't added anything new in at least 9 mos! It started out about the...
