I drilled, it looks great and is very stable. what size tank is this? 100 for lights???

alot of people sell tanks cheap on craigslist.

you'll be fine, I burned the hell out of some of my corals not realizing that the timers were always on. I had corals that were torched. I just left everything alone and they all came back. some took months but they all came back. mushrooms are pretty tuff. I have one now that is...

chiefy, I thought you said your fuge was packed to the gills? I would think 24/7 lighting would mean more growth? not the case???

when you go to replace the bulbs I found a place that sells pretty cheap,. check them out it's just a suggestion for you http://aquaticfactory.com/index.php?cPath=21 lol i bought 3 years worth of bulbs

relax vitz, it's cool, i believe you see hundreds of cleaner wrasses. but if you say it is easy for them to get eating foods why do you recomend not keeping them?

hey vitz, hundreds of cleaner wrasses a week? show me a pic of hundreds that come in this week. I think that they have a specific diet in the wild and some can adapt and some can not. I had one that tried to eat blood worms and did for a while. other than that i had a few that did...

don't rush it, let things settle in buy some test kits and test things out. if you want buy a damsel for now to help cycle everything but your gonna want to get rid of him, for he is evil

I just wanted to say happy 4th of July to everybody! Just got home from a cook out and listening to sirius satellite radio getting geared up for work tomorrow. Hope everybody had a great day off!!! shavo out

have you noticed if there is a spiderweb like thing around the dead snails shell? I have a predator worm or two in my tank and they eat snails. I caught them in the act and a few times I tomahawked them, but they are fast. I think they have some kinda toxin or poinon they use but there are...

first thing what kind of tank is this? is it a reef or fish only? you can medicate a fish only tank with some copper. if it is a reef there is a safe ich medication that I have used in the past but it didn't exactly work too good. I like X's idea with the cleaner wrasse or cleaner shrimp...

thanks spike I was looking for something just like this, incase you all missed it Myth 17: You can never skim a tank too much. Yes, you can. Far too many works have dealt with various aspects of protein skimming. I still feel there is too little information on exactly what, how much, and...

is something in the water? holy cow, this is a first. Thanks snapper! it took a while but finally somebody other than X is on my side!! thanks man!

thanks yo!

one more question if you have time, is it possible to have too much dissolved oxygeon? are there levels that are detrimental to the health of the system? thanks man, i'll do some research too when i get time

I found this statement in a search for macros and dissolved oxygeon, "Oxygen is also a bi-product of photosynthesis, which is carried out by the plants themselves. " ok so if my skimmer is off and my fuge light is on and the plants are performing photosynthisis then do I have dissolved oxygeon...

interesting article, so when the lights go out and photosynthisis stops my skimmer goes on and helps maintain dissolved oxygen levels??? isn't this good?

hey chris, if the skimmer is in the sump with the design of the fuge I have no air bubbles or very little if any make it back to the tank at all , most of the bubbles stay in the first chamber and the second chamber with the macros. is this still stablizing the PH? I suppose it would since...

First thing let me tell you why I decided to run my skimmer on this schedule. When I had everything running all the time when the light schedule came on it would pop my fuse in the box and everything would shut off while I was at work. So i decided to put things on timers at different times to...

lol vitz tell me how you really feel !! Sadly, here I go again defending myself. I disagree with you. First thing, since you know, how long does it take for a skimmer to get dialed in? is this 5 minutes or a few hours or days? I watch my skimmer go on and it skims the same every night just...
