  1. Does anyone in S.I. have extra chaeto?

    I just tossed all my chaeto cause it was loaded with aiptasia. Can anyone in Staten Island help me out, and give me some chaeto? Thanks
  2. Aiptasia Question

    I've had my tank up and running for about 6 years now. I recently added more live rock to my refugium, and now I am over run with aiptasia in my refugium. It started to make it's way into my tank, but my peppermint shrimps are all over that. However in my refugium it is all over my chaeto...
  3. LED Lighting

    I'm curious if any of you have LED lighting on your tank, how you like it, what brand you have, and how much you payed for it. I'm interested in changing my lighting to LEDs

  6. Day 4 with Skimmer, no results

    This is now my 4th day with my skimmer, and am still having no results. If I turn the micro bubbles down low, I barely get any foam forming, and it never reaches the top of the cone. And if I turn my bubbles up, I'll only get cloudy water inside the collection cup. The cone has turned brown...
  7. Setting up a new skimmer

    I'm using it on a 33 gallon tank. So should I do it so the foam is just about at the top, or the foam is constantly over flowing into the cup. I'm assuming just about at the top.

  8. Setting up a new skimmer

    I got the unit on Wednesday. It has been running now for about 48 hours. I have a drain line hooked up to it, so I am not worried about it over flowing. What is the normal break in perion for a skimmer?

  10. Setting up a new skimmer

    I recently purchased a Coralife 65g super skimmer. I've had it running for 2 days, and have a few questions. I read in the directions to have the micro bubbles at the base of the collection cup. It's producing white suds...I use the word suds loosely, because I know it is not soap. The suds...
  11. WTB 20 Gallon Tank

    I want to buy a 20 gallon tank to build a refugium in. I live in Staten Island, and would prefer to buy one from a fellow Staten Islander so I don't have to pay for the Verrazano. Anyone have one for sale?

  13. Shrimp I.D.

    7 weeks ago I purchased a shrimp from my LFS. I normally research stuff before I buy it, but this was the exception. It was called a Galapagos Island shrimp. I put it in my tank and didnt see it again for 7 weeks. I fed my tank yesterday. It came out from a rock, grabbed food, and went back...
