Hi friends, I'm finally getting around to selling off the odds and ends of old tanks. Lighting: - 24" Current Nova Extreme 2 bulb fixture- $30 - 30" two bulb Nova Extreme (bulbs are 24")- $30 - BRAND NEW IN BOX 165watt marsaqua dimmable full spectrum 165watt with hanging kit- $80 Misc...

I'm setting up a nano reef in my room from my old equipment and am jumping around with what tank size I want to setup. really I'd like to setup my old 29g. I have 2X 2 bulb T5 Nova Extremes that I can use for lighting, I'll probably get a glass top to cut down on evap. I have an Octopus...

Reef Octopus BH-100F hang-on skimmer with filter chamber for sale, used it on a heavily stocked 40g for around 6 months, worked great. very good choice for sumpless tanks 40/50g and smaller. preferably would like to trade this for a similar capacity in-sump skimmer. alternatively would sell...

Hi all, I'm looking to switch out the old MH I have for something a little less potent; the lamp is a 250watt JBJ pro clip-on unit; it has a 20K bulb that is no more than 6 months old, you'd still be getting some life out of it. preferably I would be swapping for a 150watt or 175watt MH. if...

forgot to add, the tank is undrilled and I am located in carol gardens. will get picture as soon as I have time, probably tonight or tomorrow.

I need to get rid of the contents of my 40g breeder ASAP. everything in it is free. unfortunately, the tank is fairly severely neglected and has a pretty bad hair algae problem and a fair deal of cyano. I just haven't had the time to care for it properly. inside if around 40-50 lbs (or more...

is the 40g still availible? where is it drilled (bottom or side)?

if anyone in/near NYC has a stand with footprint 36 by 18" they're looking to be rid of, PM me! the cheaper the better, and it doesnt have to be pretty; so long as it will hold a tank filled with water, I'm interested (actually, lighter weight stands like wrought iron ones would be better, but...

I'd say 3-6 is the norm for BC29's. personally, I wouldnt do more than 5, 4 is a good number.

I looked into diamonds of the reef, but cant find anything on how one actually gets the livestock- are they shipped out? or you pick them up?

I'm thinking I will do the mimic filefish after all, apparently the puffers often nip at perching fish like hawks, so they're out. from what I've heard the mimics are most likely to nip at SPS, and even though they may sample softies they usually learn quickly that they dont taste very good.

I'd really love one of these guys; from the fairly sizable amount of research I've done, it seems like these guys are feitsy, personable little fish who can sometimes turn on corals and will often eat snails and hermits. I'd love to include one in the dedicated soft coral dominated tank Im...

I'd be careful with a trio of banngaiis- they usually dont get on well with conspecifics unless they're a m/f pair. that trio would probably turn into two, or even just one, fairly quickly. there are other caridinal species that would get on in trios, like pajamas, however. IMO I think the...

thanks; I know leaving them in the display would probably be better, but I want ich OUT of the tank, and want to know its not going to show up again when I introduce a new fish in the future. I'll be pulling them later today- treatment will start wednesday!

so I've decided I'm definitely going to pull everyone and treat them, then leave the display fallow for 8 weeks- I just dont feel comfortable with the idea of doing nothing. NOTE: I know the risks involved in pulling and treating fish, and while I agree that in some cases leaving them in the...
