I have the following aquarium equipment for sale - Sunpod 36" light fixture w/ 2 150w HQI w/timer and hanging wires and screws. AquaC Remora Skimmer 55 gallon tenecor aquarium - drilled at top (no overflow box) w/ outlets and returns, light scratching nothing serious. All fittings and tubes...

Upgrading to a 120 gallon (from 55) system this spring, need a little advice on a couple things. What would you guys recommend for a protein skimmer and a freshwater top off system? I'm using an aquac remora right now and want to upgrade. Want to stay under $400, but want good reliable...

Anyone own one of these Italian made beauties? If so, what did you pay?

I had to leave the apartment for a couple days earlier this week (one night) and, knowing it would be very very hot left the A/C in the room running. wouldn't you know it, i come back last night to find the power out in my room, with a festering tank with no power. I don't know how long they...

What's the best way to frag my yellow fiji leather?

When I lose power to my tank for whatever reason, I have to carefully throttle the sump pump back up (using a valve) to allow for normal draining. If the pump just starts back up at full power, the drains can't keep up at first and the tank overflows. Not sure why this happens - is it some...

I want to trade my two healthy pieces of frogspawn coral for a frag or two of some acropora or other hard coral. Anyone in the New England area interested?

I was cleaning my tank today with my magnet cleaner, and I didn't realize there was an astrea snail affixed to the bottom of the magnet. The snail fell into my Long Tentacled Anemone, and I wasn't able to retrieve it. Will the LTA/hosting clowns expell the snail, or is this going to be a major...

anyone have a resource for black PVC elbows, 1" MPTxFPT? marinedepot's are white. Alternatively, is there a good safe black PVC paint that won't chip, that I could paint the white fittings?

so, i installed my bulkheads for my sump, got it up and running then realized i had made a ridiculous mistake. for some reason, all my "research" had led me to believe i did not need an overflow box, so i plumbed two 3/4" returns and a simple 1" drain in the middle, at the top of the tank...

sooo....the latest sump dilemna is: the space where i want to keep my sump is very limited in space, and the largest plastic container i can find that will fit in the cramped space is the Rubbermaid Pets Scoop'n Store Pet Food Storage - 20.75"W X 11.75"D X 24"H, just over 20 g. capacity i...

Ok, so I decided that I'm going to drill the back of my acrylic 55g (black back) to plumb a sump. I need some help figuring out exactly what i need I'm going to have three bulkheads, two for returns and one for the outlet. (i'm assuming the line going into the sump would be larger than the...

My 55 gallon has no sump, and I've been considering adding one on. First of all, how important is a sump? Is an overflow box really neccesary? couldn't I just pump the water out of the aquarium and into the sump with a hose connected to a powerhead, and then use a more powerful powerhead to...

I've got an LTA that is doing excellent in my tank, and is hosting two skunk clowns who love it. I've had no problems with it and the other corals in my tank, but I've noticed it is growing huge and is getting near my fiji leather. Recently, I read on WWM that keeping anemones in a reef tank...

Does anyone make a timer that works in small increments, like a minute or so? I want to create an auto top off system using a powerhead and some tubing connected to a timer that will run it for like a minute once a day.

Upgraded to metal halide, so it's gotta go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7742901359 Need one? buy mine!

Acclimating to 2x150W HQIs soon from 192w PC. I've heard two schools of thought on the acclimation process, one involves lowering the lights a little each day and the other involves starting out with a small photoperiod and increasing a half hour each day... which one works better? i'd prefer...

so i went ahead and ordered the current usa sunpod fixture...does anyone know if i could find all the tools i need to hang this from the ceiling at home depot? don't want to spend the $20 on the hanging fixutre current usa sells...doesn't seem neccesary. i'm thinking just rigging up some wire...

So the plan is the Sunpod 2x 150HQI over a 55 Gallon tenecor acrylic (about 18" tall). Now i'm reading horror stories on Wetwebmedia about heating issues (http://www.wetwebmedia.com/mhmarfaq5.htm). I knew that halide was heat generating, and I've pretty much resigned to the fact that I'll need...

I'm going to purchase the new Current USA Sunpod system (two 150 HQI) which comes with mounting legs that mount the lamp 2" above the tank. The top of my tank is acrylic - am I going to have issues with the acrylic warping? Alternatively, am I going to have problems with the light being too...

The skunk clown that wasn't eating before seems to be eating a small amount of food occasionally, but not with the vigor i'd like to see. He's hosting my new LTA and seems to be quite happy, but it'd be re-assuring to see him eat a little more. I switched to mysis and the inhabitants don't...

Thoughts on this unit? 55 gallon tank, about 18" deep or so (from top of sandbed) will the one centered halide lamp result in poorly lit areas in the aquarium?

switched from brine/flake to mysis today for nutritional value, but my fish won't have it (pink skunks and chromis)...any idea why? just them getting used to it? added a garlic supplement and a little bit of liquid plankton hoping to sweeten it up, still no go.

Does anyone have any input/experience with this product? http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=ES53504 just got a long tentacled anenome and I'm getting the impression that my 196w of PC lighting might not be enough. will i be alright, or should I splurge for the metal halide...

Anyone found a good system for removing fine scratches from acrylic aquariums? possibly even underwater?
