I was wondering about bulkheads. Right now. I have 3/4" flex tubing running from my sump to my tank(using a 3/4"barbed bulkhead). I want to change to PVC. Am I right in saying that I need to change that bulkhead to a 3/4" slip bulkhead? I want to make sure I get the right one. Does the PVC slip...

I just bought 2 large adult wild O. clowns. They are doing great. I have never seen such large clowns. They hang out next to each other all the time.

He doing OK, I guess. His fins still don't look good. I have not moved him out of the tank. I have been working alot, lately. Do I have to remove him? I read that there immune systems can fight it off. My water parameters are good(sg 1.022 PH 8.0 Nh,NO2,NO3 all 0). I do a 15% water change every...

Today, I gave him some Formula One and he ate it.

I just looked at my tank this morning to find my Coral Beauty Angel to be missing some fins. His tail and small side fins are all chewed on. I have had him for about 3-4 mos. and no problems. I have added a Raccoon Butterfly recently, but they swim around each other all the time. The angel seems...

No, i don't soak the food. What do you guys use?

He doesn't eat when I feed. All the other fish eat. He just kind of picks at the rocks. I see him finding food in the rocks.

I have a question about my new raccoon butterfly. I have had him about a week and notice he doesn't sleep at night. All my other fish go down when the lights go off. He just swims around just like he would during the day. Is this normal?

I was wondering how often I should change my bulbs. I have 4x96 power compacts. They light my 150 gallon FOWLR. Also by changing the bulbs, will that help algae from growing.

Charlie is right. I have the same one and if the water column is not in the right spot, the cup will fill up too fast and overflow. You will have to play with it to find the sweet spot. Hope this helps.

No, you do not have to go with metal halides if you are not going with coral. I have a 150 gallon FOWLR and I am using a Corallife 72" Power Compact. It lights the tank quite well considering it is 29" deep. I know what you mean with the electric bill. I am running the lights for 8 hours(384...

I have looked into this myself. Right now, I use a Kent float valve on a trash can to fill up for water changes. That valve requires you to drill a hole to slide through. That doesn't work so well when your sump is 30 gallon aquarium. So what I think I have come up with is the unit from...

I use two 300w heaters in my sump for my 150 gallon.

I have one that I bought off of E-bay. I paid $100 a year ago and it works great. I have a 150 gallon that I filled with it and replace evaporated water every other day. I personally would save the money and try one of the cheaper ones. God knows every dollar you can save in this hobby is great.

I saw that AGA makes a MegaFlow sump filter system. The cost for the Model 4 is $259 at Dr. Foster&Smith. I have a 150 gal. with a 30 gallon sump. I am currently using a 30 gal. aquarium that houses my heaters, pumps, and skimmer. Everything works o.k. but I have a micro bubble problem in the...

I think it is a good idea. I started a 150 gallon about 4 mos. ago. I keep a quarantine tank going all the time. I buy a fish and quarantine it. When I move the fish over to the display tank, I buy another for the quarantine. When I finish my display, I am not sure what I will do with it. Some...

Thanks guys. I think I will get a hang on float. I don't want to take a chance. If I do break the tank, it will cost me another $50 for a tank. I can pick up a hang on float for that.

I have a 39 gallon aquarium that I am using for a sump and I am wondering if I could drill a hole in the side near the top for a float valve. I need to drill about a 1/2" hole to mount the float valve. If this is simple, let me know. If there is a chance I will break it, I might opt for a...

I just bought a Blue Hippo Tang. I have been feeding the tang seaweed. My question is how often should I feed him? Also, I know I need to give him a variety, so what else should I be feeding him besides the seaweed? Thanks, Todd

My PH is steady at 8.2 and Calcium is 400. So I will just leave it alone. Thanks, guys.

I had every intention of getting tank raised clowns when I went to the LFS. But when I saw the True Percs, I could not resist. Their color is so much better. They are a little more aggressive, but mine get along fine.

I would like to get a Copper banded Butterfly. I think that fish is amazing. I will definitely work up to get this fish. I know it is fragile. But for now, I love my Blue Hippo Tang.

I was wondering how to lower GH. My tank has been running for about 2 months now. My water parameters are good. I tested KH and that was normal(9 dkh). When I test for GH, my test is off the charts(60). I filled the tank with RO/DI and I do all water changes with the same. I was wondering if I...
