My yellow tang has a fairly broad and faint white line along his back. When the lights go off, after about 10 - 20 minutes, the white line gets brighter and the brown blotch begins to appear. I call it his 'pajamas'. Ha! Actually, I think this is their camouflage, so that they may blend...

and I've heard it kicks up a lot of dust. My fishtank is in the connecting family room. What can I do to protect the tank from this dust? I thought about covering it with a sheet for a couple of days but, I have to be careful about not letting the tank get too hot here in Texas. Your...

I apologize for the 'oddity' of this question in advance. I don't know any carpenters to ask. I have a wooden canopy over my aquarium this is only about 1/4" shy of being able to fit the desired light I have purchased. The canopy is 3/4" thick and all I need to do is take 1/4 or 1/8th off...

His mouth is a tiny bit under his nose. Him and my Yellow Tang are big buddies for almost 2 years now. The clowns could 'take or leave' him, most of the time and I think he scares my firefish goby, but, then most ever thing else does too. I had a coral beauty that seemed to enjoy his...

I guess I have been extremely lucky with my Cleaner Wrasse. He/She is such a delight. Eats ANYTHING that I put in the tank that is chopped up small enough for his little mouth. Nori, flake food, brine, pureed frozen squid/fish, etc... He is usually the FIRST one to the food. He will even...

Thanks to all for your input. I thought there had to be somethings I wasn't considering. And, my non-reef spouse thanks you too for not poking a hole in our ceiling. :)

That's amazing! Why would our corals require more than nature ?

Tell me I'm crazy...... Due to minor hail damage we are having our roof replaced, less the deductible. I was thinking about one of those Solatubes over the fish tank. You might have seen them in the Parade Magazine in the Sunday paper. 14" across, like a small skylight but, with reflectors...

I put my filter in upside down once and that happened to me. Check that too.

That was for one bulb. Jan

I just called GE 1-800-435-4448. The guy said 36" is made but not carried by many stores because it is considered an unusual length. It's number is: F30T12C50 He suggested, to check and see if they will special order it for you or go to a Electrical Supply store such as Grainger. I called...

I need to replace my NO blubs and have been reading about the GE Sunshine (very similar in spectrum and much cheaper) and would like to give it a try. I have found the 48" and 24" at Wal-Mart and Home Depot but cannot find a 36"? Does anyone know if they even make a 36"?

Thank you. I don't have much and the tank is already clearer than before. Does it die after it goes sexual?

I noticed my tank was a little cloudy this morning and upon looking closer I noticed that my grape caulerpa is much lighter in color and sending up smoke plums. I don't have much in my tank. Is this something I should take care of before leaving for work?
