Ok so I am being overrun w/ velonia and am hoping an urchin or two will help thin this mess out. But I am wondering if the urchin(s) would be safe w/ my 3' yellow headed moray and a largish lion fish? All the snails I have in the tank are doing fine if that is any indicator? Thanks in...

so what maybe $500?

I have a 150g, reef ready bow front that has never had a drop of water in it. I have no clue what to sell this thing for, figured $800 but don't really know. Hope someone can put me in the ball park. I'm not trying to sell it on here, just locally and want to get a good price when I start...

:0) Thanks! I will get pics up when I can, I like the Lion but I love the eel. ;0) Damsels eh... hmmmm mu haha... Thanks again! B.

I have a 125 setup w/ a 3' yellow headed green moray and a somewhat largish Black Valentia Lionfish. The tank contains some coral, nothing fancy and a Spotted Hawkfish. The hawk has done fine for the past year (lots of LR) Anyhow I am wanting to add a few more fishies to the tank and was...

Do you think micro-bubbles have a pos/neg effect on an aquarium. And I don't mean visually, more along the lines of health of the creatures. I believe I have read stuff about this before but it has been a long while. Thanks, B.

Test kit is new, and I buy salt frequently and from different shops. Alk has been 2.75 - 3 ppm B.

LR and Sand, as well as a skimmer. Skims just fine and the LR/Sand have been in the tank for about 2 years now. Kenya tree is coming back out and everything still looks good. Will be retesting the water later today. B.

125g tank, 10g sump, 1 15k 175w MH and 1 10k 175w MH, 2 96w 03 Actinitc. Zoos, button polyps, shrooms, condy anemone, eel. Nothing spectacular. Have a wet/dry used for filtration, pre filters on the overflow. Didn't have any problems until I removed the old filter floss pads, just should...

Well things have not improved. As of today trites show as .5/.6 ppm I have done 2 water changes so far and am going to get more RODI water shortly. I believe this is all because I removed too much fiber filter pads when I cleaned the sump. Now I have to wait to build up more nitrifying...

I feed him with a plastic feeding prong, I definitely don't stick my hand in the tank w/ food, he moved FAST tonight, surprised me! This tank was once freshwater and the sand is a leftover. I used to have a completely black sandy bottom and then decided to mix it with some white sand. I...

Don't have the Selco yet but I picked up some Talapia, man he ate it up! I sure hope he starts growing a bit more. Thanks for the tip! B.

I have no idea why the ammonia is like it is. Nothing in the tank appears to be dying off, and I make a point to not overfeed. Actually I only feed the eel and there isn't any leftovers. I feed the spotted hawk and condy about twice a month frozen mysis shrimp (1 cube). Dunno. B.
