I was thinking of adding a pink belly sand cucumber that is what the lfs said to my 135 reef tank. I was told that if it dies it won't nuke the tank. Is it good for cleaning ditrus? I have the usual snails and hermits but they don't seem to do very well on the sand. What would you use???

Tell me about it. Last night i put the other 1200 right beside it and it works fine. Guess I will just get antoher one and put this one under the tank as a spare but what do you do got to hate those bubbles.

It is about 6 inches below the surface and it makes no differance were it is in the tank. That is what is weird.

I hvae 3 Maxi-jet power heads in my 135. 2 1200 and 1 900. The problem is that one of the 1200's blows a puff of bubbles every 20 to 30 minutes. I have tryed moving it around the tank but it is still the same thing. The other 2 work great. Anyone ever had this problem?

They are uv lights cause they are out of a tanning beds. But don't mh give off uv aswell? The sun gives off uv aswell or it just that they give mainly uv light that would cause the problem? Just thought i would ask if i could use them and save some cash.

Has anyone ever tryed tanning bed lights? I work for a place that use to sells tanning beds and can get the lights really cheap. They are VHO 160 watt, the problem is I don't know the temp rating of the bulbs. The Relative Spectral Radiant Flux peaks at around 350 nm i think it would be too...

I hae a lionfish (red volitans) it is still young only 6 inches long. I would like to get a potters angel but don't want it to get eated when the lion gets full size. They would be in 135 gal tank with 200lbs of live rock. What in your experience is the largest fish you have seen a lionfish eat?
