Today I received 2 13 watt 50/50 bulbs from hellolights.

I just put a Berlin HO on my 40 gal. I am using a little giant 4-mdq-sc pump capable of 810 gal/hr. I have a ball valve on the output to adjust the flow into the skimmer. I can't seem to find a flow/air setting that isn't making massive amounts of tiny bubbles in the tank. My corals are hating...

I just received a Topfin Aquascene 2 hex tank for my b-day. I need lighting suggestions for this tank. The lighting fixture can be no longer than 7" and no wider than 4". Anyone have any suggestions? I would like to put as much light as possible over this tank so I can keep a wide variety of...

$10 a bag in AZ also @ Ocean Floor.

Hi Platapus, Looks awesome....mind if I ask where you got the plans? I would love to make one for my reef.

I had one that was great at first. It ate algae like mad. Then, one day he got a hold of a snail and from that day on he prefered snails, hermit crabs, and fish! Right before I got rid of him I saw him jumping off the rocks to try and grab a fish as it went by. He eventually succeded and ate a...

Hey Wombat, I actually crashed my tank seriously two times trying to learn to keep corals. There really aren't any copepods or critters that I can see. I've looked at night and can't find anything. I saw tons of them before the second crash though. I really need to know how to get all these...

My flame hawk used to nip at a few of my corals untill I started feeding at the same times every day. I would feed the tank once a day and always at different times. Now, I feed at the same time in the morning and evening and I haven't seem it nip at anything in the past two months.

Wow, that picture is kinda distorted and smashed. I guess I'm no computer genius. :wink: The one on the left is now almost larger than the carnation. Can anyone id the dendro on the left?

I don't have any pics but I'll borrow a digital camera this week and snap a few. Here it is about 2 months ago.

I have a dendro that has tripled in size in the last 6 months and can see that I'll need to frag it in the near future. I know that this is a very delicate coral and since it is growing great, I would hate to sacrifice it's future. Quite frankly, I'm very suprised it's doing so well. I also have...

I recently learned about the iodine dip but it was too late for the frogspawn. Thanks for the info! If I ever see it again I'll know what to do.

Thanks for the advice. I would have never considered it but the tank was set up like this already. I don't have any experience with an undergravel filter so I wasn't sure how much work it would be to clean. I just figured that 250lbs of crushed coral would provide plenty of bio material. I...

AMAZING!!! Everytime I see one of your pics it makes me want to set up a tiny tank.
