If he's anything like mine he'll eat anything and everything. Any time there's food going in the water he's scarfing! :lol:

I got mine from Marine Center 2 years ago, and he is still the exact same size (~12"). He eats a ton, but never grows; he also never bothers anything in the tank. Ideal reef inhabitant!

Cool picture and cool eel. I love mine!

Mine has been changing slowly over the past 6 months. He is still probably only a quarter of the way changed. It started with a faint yellowing of the base of his tail and some of the stripes in the middle of his body. Now he is starting to get a white mouth area, and some more horizontal...

I have been a certified dive instructor for almost ten years, but I do not teach classes. The insurance is too much and I mainly got the instructor for cheaper gear. I also love Cozumel, matter of fact I am getting married there in February, on the beach with the sunset as a backdrop! I...

I have also had suggested to me the dolphin 560, but they are a little harder to find than the mags.

I also have a 92 corner bowfront, and love it! It makes for way more interesting arrangements than my 100 breeder. For now it is just a FOWLR and mushrooms, and I only have 2 65 watt smarlights across the front behind the lid. Once I build a bigger home for my juve. emperor I plan on hanging a...

Earlier I posted about my yellow assessor, but the best fish in my reef tank would have to be my fridmani. Great color, interesting movement, eats well, and is super hardy. Do not confuse them with the strawberry pseudos, which have a completely different personality.

FFE has them for $30. I got one from them, and when I stuck him in the tank, he hid for almost three days. I figured he was laying dead or food for the hermits, and on the third day he popped up like nothing was wrong. He is a very cool fish.

Has anyone had any experience with tank raised hippos? They have them at my LFS and I have heard good things but no first hand exp.

When the owner's manual recommends running the overflow back into the sump at first because initially it may create a lot of bubbles they are not kidding. Mine filled up the cup and a PM overflow container in about an hour. Now I have it closer to dialed in and it seems to be working very well.

Can anyone give me recommednations regarding using Ozarka H2O instead of RO? Do it or not? Thanks

For a thorough cleaning, you could put in a vinegar solution and shake it all around. And of course rinse completely when done.

I just installed an EV-120 on my 92 bowfront corner and I will update you as it breaks in. So far there is a very active mass of bubbles, just starting to foam at the top. It looks like it is creating more foam than my Turboflotor, but only time will tell! The adjustments do seem easy with the...

I have placed 5 orders with them and gotten nothing but the best critters and service. They are hard to get ahold of on the phone, but WILL call you back when you leave a message. It may be at midnight, but they will call and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They will tell you not to...
