  3. Help!! Tang just got stung by Torch Coral!

    A couple of days ago I fragged my beautiful 8 inch Brown Torch Coral. I put the four frags into a plastic critter aquarium without the top and kept this in my system. I am going to bring these frags to my LFS this weekend. Tonight I fed my fish. Apparently, my Scopas Tang saw a morsel of food...
  4. Let's talk about Rio's, response from Lifereef

    I have gone through 3 MAG 7's in 2 and 1/2 years as my return pump. I just switched to a MAG 9.5. I have had a RIO 2100 on my Euroreef skimmer for 2 and 1/2 years with no problems (knock on wood). Go figure! JRowenole

Some people don't like the idea of a glass cover (heat issues), but I've had mine on top of my 92 gallon reef tank for over a...

  8. DSB Grain Size

    I am converting my existing bed to a DSB this weekend. Dr. Ron Shimek recommends a sand grain size average of .125 mm. Is ESV oolite and possibly Southdown play sand the only two types of sand that meet this criteria? Would CaribSea's sugar-sized ooloite (.2 to 1/2 mm) be O.K.? The CaribSea...
  9. Latern sea bass anyone have one?

    A Lantern Bass was one of the first fish I purchased for my new reef tank about one year ago. I thought this was a fish who kinda had the personality of a grouper, but was reef safe - wrong! This fish ate 2 cleaner shrimp although he left one cleaner shrimp alone (even allowed this shrimp to...
