I've been satisfied with my hangon model... BUT during the last month the venturi in the aqua bee pump have clogged two times. The first time I let the pump sit in FW for ~3 hours and it started to work again... last week when it clogged again, I put it in FW for ~30 hours and now it's been...

I've been having some difficulties placing my seriatopora hystrix so that it doesn't get _burned_. I've got 2x250W ab-aqualine MHs on my 60cm (~24 inch) deep tank. The brown basecolor gets light brown on the sides of the branches that faces the light. The polyps are green... The branches are a...

OK, thanks Chucker & FMarini, I'm quite happy with this id. 99,7% sure that he's a barred moray. It's quite surprising how many rock boring clams & other crabs I have... Fits to picture that Echida would like to hang around rocks filled with food. But, thanks again.

More info, This time a saw him in another hole. He's clearly hunting for food. I first spotted him 3 hours after the mh was turned off. I spent half an hour looking at him. Most of the time he was just watching and threatening me... (it was like gasping with his mouth...). Should morays have...

Got those worms too, but definetially a fish. I saw his eye and mouth... Looked just like those FW fishes that swim on the bottom like snakes... Heh, I even saw a dream last night that I had all kinds of FW fishes coming from the rocks

thanks. Okay, if all snakes have to surface for air, it's not a snake (99.8% sure) I know that he has eaten something, since he has doubled his size during the 5 months. I have quite many crabs, so there's something for it to eat but I think it has been mainly on a worm diet... (because...

KanUCme, I think that the film can be removed much better with a cup. Keep one side of the cup under the waterline so you get only the film to the cup, like an overflow box would do. When you learn to hold the cup correctly, it's quite easy...

Last night when I was viewing my tank, I found a moray looking at me from a hole The tank has been up for 4-5 months and this was the first time I saw it in the tank. When I received my liverock, I found a nice looking striped worm from the bottom of the box. I thought it could be a moray...

Tony Quinn, Do you have to clean / replace the filter wool often? I mean does it gather loads of crap?

CJRodders Put a small sponge or anything soft (I have currently some toalet paper) in to the tube... yes, it's a silencer. For the bubbles, I use sponges too, but I place them in those black boxes that I got with the skimmer. I have made some modifications to the boxes too to reduce the flow in...

Just remembered that changing a bulb to my aquastarlight was a real pain in the ass. When I got mine and tested it, it was OK for the first 10 hours or so, but then one of the bulbs broke from other end. I had to take the whole light apart to get the broken bulb out. The sockets were so tight...

I can only compare it to my fathers 2x150 archadia and it's cooler. But then again, it's 200W less heating power and he's got much better ventilation in his house. (I have none ). My appartment is built around '50 and has a "gravity fed" ventilation (or something) = no fans on the roof and it...

I have been very pleased to my aquastarlight 2x250+ml. Only down side to it is that it's a bit noisy. (At least noisier than Arcadia 2x150w mh)

CJRodders, I've got the same skimmer as you. The silencer works much better if you put a small sponge in it. (Even toalet paper works great
