I just set up a three tank system with a Little Giant 3 MDQ SC pump as a return. It's pumping from the floor to two tanks at about five feet and one tank at eight feet. I have the tanks plumbed so that they are all flowing to the sump independently, and I have a bypass system so I can isolate...

My head is reeling with potential replies to this one! :D

naesco, While you're up there on your soapbox all "outraged" ( :roll: )over this horrible injustice to tangs everywhere, why don't you take it a step further and declare that we all should be buying only captively bred and raised fish and inverts? In reality, you and all of us are guilty as...

Well, I think that since it is a naturally occuring phenomenon, what's the big deal? Besides, breeding other species may be beyond the capacity of your average hobbyist, which is why people breed clownfish in the first place. I mean, we're not talking about creating something freaky, just seeing...

I'm in the process of setting up a few breeding pairs of clowns, and depending on my success, I want to give some hybrid pairings a whirl. I'll keep you guys posted.

After reading Wilkerson's clownfish book, I am curious about hybrid clowns. Apparently some of the complexes are able to crossbreed and create fertile offspring. Has anyone here tried to breed different species of clownfish? Any success stories out there? It seems to me that there would be...

I've been lurking here for a few years and it has always been this way. I once was flamed unmercifully for simply asking what the requirements for keeping an anemone were. Take what you want and leave the rest. FWIW, I've tried to keep yellow tangs on three separate occasions in 70 gallon tanks...

I don't see the difference, but I've seen arguments against a DSB in a sump rather than in the main tank. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I want some in Cleveland OH! can you help? :)

Hello all, I am putting together a breeding setup consisting of four tanks plumbed into the same filtration system. As part of the filter setup will be a DSB/refugium, I am trying to decide my best course of action as regards the placement of a skimmer. Should I plumb the water into a sump...

What? He's gone? I was just starting to like him! :roll:

Can anyone here provide me with a link that will show me all the major ornamental marine fish and invertebrates that have been captively bred/propogated? I'm mulling over a business opportunity and need to have an idea of what it takes to breed marine fish on a large scale. Thanks

Whether or not you use your real name is irrelevant. For the majority of people on the net, simply logging on gives hackers enough information to do darn near anything they want to you. But don't worry, most of them are more interested in crashing the White House web site or hacking into...

It's nice to get back here. I've been out of the hobby for a few years after my 70 gallon reef crashed, but I'm looking to get back,albeit at a smaller level. I'm thiinking of setting up a 70 gallon fish only tank, and I was wondering about some things. Would there be an advantage to a sump with...
