My percula is ten years this past August... and counting!

Hello, Looking to replace my skimmer on my 55 Gallon reef, it's a SuckClone skimmer now, and I want to get a better one! I've heard good things about both these skimmers. Any Pros/Cons? Thanks

Hello I have been using the Panasonic square pin bulbs for awhile, but have had a hard time finding them. recently got one Hamilton PC 10K, and an actinic O3 from HelloLights. Both are good. Was seeing some on Ebay called Iridium was wondering if anyone has heard of them? What are youf...

I've been hesitant to add more clowns... My ocellaris has been in my tank(s) for 10 years now, and I'm not sure he (she) would take to new ones. How does one go about adding additional clowns usually? Also, I had the same thoughs on the orchid dotty and the gramma... not sure if they'd play nice!

Hello, So far I have only 3 fish. Royal Gramma Blue Damsel Ocellaris Clown and 3 shrimp. Was wondering if an orchid dottyback, clown goby would be ok. Also was thinking about anthias someday... Any other ideas? Thanks

Will try to get closer pics! Thanks for the suggestions. The top one doesn't look like any anenomes that I've seen... The aiptasias I've seen before had longer tendacles, and more tentacles on the outer portion of the oral disc, not all over the top of the animal.

Are you doing all this in a QT tank? If not, I'd get all your fish out of the main tank for 6 weeks as others have suggested... Also, consider trying the hyposalinity treatment if you see more ick. I've recently had some "success" with Maracyn II for a cloudy eye (and slightly puffy) on my...

Bottom one

Top one came out awhile back, is about 1" in diameter now... Bottom one is nestled in the gravel. Just noticed it after a tank move. It has maybe a centimeter area in diameter. Thanks!

Had this for awhile now.. What is it? Thanks!

Visitherm also makes a "stealth" heater, seen it @ Petco but not at petwarehouse.com yet... It's black, and shatterproof, but the temp controls don't seem as precise, and I don't know if it has an indicator light

Hello In the past I've been a huge fan of visitherm heaters, recently had an older 100W one freak out and get hot even when it was set to low temp. I'm going to replace it either with another Visitherm or this new one, that sounds good, the Theo. Shatterproof, and has auto off switch when low...

I've tried adding other clowns before, but my clown of ten years here doesn't like anyone! The others have all been beaten up badly!

Hello, Is there a need to QT cleaner shrimp, the same that is done with other inverts, fish? Thanks

Doh! Ha ha... I get it now... ACtually pick up is tomorrow! =) Thanks A layer of sand has solved the "problem"
