Got two weeks ago.He/She is not touching the food I give.Eats off the rocks and tank walls well and looks great so far but I know it`s not going to survive on that.Trying to feed flake and seaweed sheets.Any suggestions?Really cool fish.Alone in a 125g.TKS

Anyone having trouble with this ballast? Mine kept shorting out at the switch.I took it apart and found that when the face with the switch is in place the prongs on the back of the switch impenge on the ballast inside and it bends the prongs.I bypassed the switch and it works ok now,still irks...

What`s the best way to keep live rock viable?Right now I have quite a bit of extra rock that I`ll probably end up selling or trading.It came out of my tanks so it`s really good stuff. I want to keep it that way till I can move it to someone else.It`s in a large plastic tub with a heater and...

When I clean I have to be very careful not to hit the seams much because it`s breaking off in small chips.Seems it was never this brittle before.I suppose this is normal at some time in the life of a tank? Any body got any cleaning tricks for the corners?

Had him a year and don`t know.

I`ve been doing a few upgrades on my tank and WOW,what a difference.One thing I did was get more water turn over with some better pumps.Now my hang on overflow makes a heck of a noise every few seconds(like a flushing sound)and seems to dump a bunch of air into the sump when it makes this...

Anyone recommend a decent pump and/or where to get them? I`ve been looking on ebay and found several I`m interested in.Looking at the 900-1200gph range.The problem is they don`t give you the specs on most of them and the few that they do seems like you lose so much flow due to head pressure you...

I want to go bare bottom and was wondering where you get this stuff to put under the rock.

Might just be a coincidence,but it seems that since I went with mh lighting my skimmer is finally working properly.I always had a hard time dialing this thing in.I`d get it set right for a while and it would work ok.Then it would stop skimming for no apparent reason except to tick me off.I would...

I`m going to hang my pendants in the next couple of days.How high above the water should the be for starters? Thanks, Pat

Finally got my 250W mh pendants I`ve been threatening to get and ordered the ballast today.I decided on the double ended bulbs because of the higher output.I want to hang them from the ceiling so I don`t want to supplement with actinics.I`ve seen pics of the 20k bulbs and they`re WAY too blue...

I`m not real happy with the algae sheets.They get trashed too easily and then you have all that to deal with.I`m thinking of trying some blanched veggies to suppliment.I read that broccoli and squash are good.Anybody try these or something else? Also ,is it possible to cut out the sheets...

I recently started using Mysis shrimp in my frozen food mix and there seems to be a lot of "junk"in there that just floats in the tank and doesn`t get eaten.I don`t know if it`s the brand or just normal for this type of food.I`ve heard of people rinsing frozen foods before putting it in the...

I posted this in the new reekkeepers section but I want to ask here for more opinions.Finally going to take the dive and buy mh.My question is single or double base and if you have a preference why?

FINALLY getting ready to purchase.Just one more question.Single or double base?From what I gather double base are more intense.Any opinions or any reason to go with one or the other?

After spending a ton of money on peppermint shrimp and countless hours kalk bombing and injecting aiptasia with hot water,vinegar and just about every remedy I can find I want to give Joe`s Juice a try.Can anyone tell me where to order?

I`m looking to buy mh lights.I don`t want to ebay(been screwed there)Does anyone have a good place to look on the net?I`ve been to hellolights and was looking for a few places to comparison shop.Thanks Pat

I`m thinking of getting rid of my hood and going with mh pendants suspended over the tank.Just seems like it would be a lot less hassle that way.Anyone out there done this? Is there a down side I`m not seeing?I`ve spent a ton on pc and vho hoods and would like an opinion before jumping again.

Will those big green brittle stars eat shrimp?I can`t seem to keep any peps in my tank.I`ve put in 13 so far for aiptasia.Still got the aiptasia but no sign at all of the shrimp and it`s been months now.I think something got em and those stars are the only thing I can think of.Anyone have a bad...

I`ve got an icecap660 that powers four 36 inch VHO`s. I replaced the bulbs with exactly the same type bulbs thay were in it and now every time I plug the lights back in it blows the 7amp fuse in the ballast.I tried putting the old bulbs back in and got the same thing.I even tried it with no...
