Thanks For the quick reply... nice site but they are out of stock.... please someone have another suggestion????

I too have a 55g all glass aquarium... and I agree with all others... go with at least the 75! you just don't realize how much a couple inches can be till you are faced with the problem. 55g is good but man are they narrow when you try adding your liverock. as an added opinion to consider, I...

hi all and happy holidays. As luck would have it, and seeing as murpy was an optimist... I have spent my cash over the last 2 weeks buying up bobbles and trinkets, gizmos and gadgets, all in the name of this wounderful time of the year. I was sitting in the kitchen wrapping some presents and...

HI, Peppermint shrimp are hit and miss when it comes to aptasia. I have had luck with mine but others don't. It seems they will go after the aptasia if there isn't anything more appealing to munch on. It may be worth a try. I have heard some reports of pepermints going after some polyps and...

I don't think he had designed it around the choice of occupants as much as from an asstetics point of view. I didn't get a gallon figure but I would say the deminsions were different thats for sure. The tank was at least 4 feet front to back by 4 feet long and at least 5 feet tall. The tank...

Does the algea come of easily by hand? or is it firmly attached? also does it seem like its fiberous? The reason I ask is because my lfs is battling a greeninsh black algea that has taken hold in one of their grow out tanks. they have been trying to decide if what they have is really an algea...

I saw a tank like this a while back when I was in chicago. It was a very interesting display. The owner had made the center "pile" stable by drilling the rocks and used 1/2" pvc to plug the rocks into each other. I wish I had taken a photo because it was very neat. to give you a visual, he...

Good luck ! Hope it turns out ok. ty

Good eye MONKEYBOY! The clam in the center is a Dersa. The clam you see in the lower left of the photo is a 2nd grade maxima. I purchased the maxima 9 months ago as an attempt to see if I could keep clams. So far so good so I saved back a few bucks and bought the Dersa. The Maxima has been...

Same here. Actinics on 1 hour before MH and continued on 1 hour after with MH running for 10 hours 2x250w MH and 4x55w PC on a 55g I do get a little more algea in the summer months when its warmer so I have tried to drop to 10 hours in the summer but can't really say I noticed a big...

Thanks for the replies. I like the way my tank looks with the ushio and actinics but thought a quick survey of peoples thoughts would be a help. This will be my first bulb change and to be honest, the only reason I went with the ushio last year was because of a sale i happened to get in on...

Hello all and happy holidays ?!? It's time for me to replace my MH bulbs and I am undecided on the best to try. I do not and will not be keeping SPS in my tank for at least another year but I do have 1 clam (Dersa). I am currently running the 250w ushio's (they are 10000k) along with 4x55w PC...
