Wow, can't believe how quick I have received replies. For now, it looks like the rock has been claimed. If it falls through I will reply in the order I received messages. Thanks for the interest.

I recently had to move my tank and had some problems with some of the equipment during the move. I will get up and running again someday, but for now the project has beaten me down. Therefore, I have two 18 gallon buckets full of live rock (my guess is over 100lbs worth), crabs, snails, a...

Any advice on the best place to get one in the NYC area. Prefererably reef ready. Thanks for any help.

Rather not do it myself, just need one circle drilled, already have bulkhead fittings. I would rather not buy a diamond bit, and use it once for something I have never done b4. I have read of vendors who do it. I would rather go to someone, with experience and knows what they are doing...

Well, I have been doing research all morning and then driving around all afternoon. My busted sump was a converted 30 g long and did use acrylic to glass with silicone. Didn't have any major problems with it. A small leak in a baffle against the side was the only real problem. The problem...

thank you for the early morning help guys/ I am taking off to make needed repairs today, and may even build a new sump. Quick question, does anyone know what the best glue would be to attach acrylic to glass?

Any help?

Can a metal halide light and ballast that used to be used for an indoor garden, be adjusted for aquarium use.

Thanks for all the help, this is where I am with the problem now. I have gotten rid of the butterfly, never left the corner of the tank and was not helping in any way. I picked up some Joe's Juice at the LFS. Worked ok, but some of the aptasia have started to sprout again. I also ordered...

I am developing an aptasia problem. Tried peppermint shrimp, but cleaner shrimp killed them right away. Got a long nose butterfly, as recommended by guy in fish store, but i have been reading and am not sure I should have in my reef tank, and it has been in the tank for 3 days and hasn't moved...

I advice and a question for you. First check this site out: http://joshday.com/mandaringoby.htm Now my ?, if you can were there any tricks you used to get the mandarin to eat mysis. I have had no luck getting them to eat prepared foods. I do culture pods and stock a refugium with them on a...

Curious, what is the advantage to an open top, vs. glass tops.
