    What is the "pending sale" on the red spot cardinals about? I've been looking for 4-6 of them for awhile now. How often do yu get them in?
  5. Wrasse Compatibilty

    I have a melanurus wrasse in my 75 gallon reef tank and really want to add a peppermint hogfish (bodianus masuda). My LFS says they will be OK, but a couple of fish compatibility charts I found on the internet said they are either not compatible or questionable. Does anybody have an experience...
  6. Flame Hawkfish

    I have a 75 gallon reef tank and I really want to get a Flame Hawkfish. I had one in my old FOWL tank, and he was a blast to watch. I don't have any shrimp or crabs (thanks to my Melanurus wrasse), but I know Hawks will dine on my cleaner snails as well. I was wondering if anybody could give me...
  7. Hard Substrate

    I was in the hospital for a month, during which time my brother was house/fish sitting. Needless to say, everything went awry. My skimmer died, resulting in a giant forest of algae, which choked off my wave makers. In addition, the calcium reservoir for my dosing system went dry, so the system...
  8. New Fish Have Ich, or Do They?

    Thanks for the info and the quick reply. I was considering hyposalinity, but my refractometer only goes down to 1.015 (easier to read). Copper makes me nervous, so I'll look into buying another (cheap) refractometer on Amazon that goes down to 1.000. Question, the salinity in the halfway house...

    I set up a new 90 gallon tank three months ago and recently transferred all my fish with no problems. I left my old 42 gallon tank set up as a halfway house for new fish. Tuesday morning I got a Heniochus diphredeus that I special ordered, a Randall's Goby, a Blackray Shrimp Goby and a Neon...

    I forgot to mention that there is 4 feet of head between the pump and the return nozzle.
  11. Return Pump

    I'm setting up a new 80 gallon tank in my living room, so it has to be dead silent, or I will be taking up residence on the couch. I built a beananimal overflow that is dead quiet, and set up a loop in my sump for my Turbo L2 Algae scrubber using a Sicce Syncra 2.0 pump that is also dead quiet...
  12. Overflow Installation

    I have no idea what kind of paint they used on the back--could be porous.
  13. Overflow Installation

    I am installing my first bulkhead overflow on my new tank and have a question about the gasket installation. I had a custom tank built and I had the back painted. I bought schedule 80 bulkheads from BRS and got extra gaskets so I can sandwich the glass. However, when they painted the back, they...
  14. Beananimal Question

    I took an aerial view of the overflow box and I laid out the overflow u tubes. I think I got them attached to this message--never did that before. IF not, let me know and I'll try again. Thanks again for your help.
  15. Beananimal Question

    The overflow is between the wall and the back of the tank. I will try to get some pics tomorrow. Thanks for the quick response!
