Is my tank crashing? Let me begin by saying that about two weeks ago I got tired of dealing with my cynobacteria problem and decided to treat my tank chemically with Ultralife Red Slime Remover - my local store swears by it. They indicated that when treating the tank, I should turn my protein...

Has anyone had any problems with their Mandarin(s) jumping? I came home today and discovered my mandarin on top of my glass top baked and hard as a rock. He was fine last night when I went to bed. I am running a 110G Tall AGA. There is a 1.5-2.0 inch gap between the edge of the glass tops...

Heh. Are you saying we don't have high quality water in the Detroit River? Come on!!! Good point on the water changes - you are assuming that the tap water is the source of the extra nutrients. I had been assuming that the tap water was only part of the problem - that maybe I had some sort...

Hey Folks. My reef tank is 1 year old. It is 115G using a plenum system. It has 100# of live rock, along with the following inhabitants: Yellow Tang, Flame Angel, 2 Bagaii Cardinals, 2 Gold Striped Maroon Clowns, 5 Green Chromis, Royal Gramma, and a Mandarin. Other inhabitants include 2...

I began my 115G with a plenum back in December. I've had no problems. Since December I've only done about 5 (5 gallon) water changes to try and help with a minor cynobacteria problem I had when my skimmer stopped skimming properly... Most folks on the boards seem to lean towards a DSB vs...

Can you answer some more questions? 1. What was the final cost (including shipping)? 2. How many frags did you get? 3. What was the average frag size? How many branches on average? On the surface, $235 + shipping seems a lot more expensive then Dr. Mac and Hiller....

Additional inhabitants include 2 small cukes, roughly 1.5 - 2" long and about the diameter of your pinky finger... They only come out at night - I have no idea where they live...

I bought a PFO 48" light setup. 2x400W with the normal ballast, and 2x40W Actinics with the Icecap 660 ballasts. Two Fans on either end. I love the setup. The only problem I am having seems to be an electrical one. The room my tank is in happens to be my computer room, and I seem to be having...
