I might have a problem with adding a peppermint shrimp unless it was rather large. I have a fuzzy dwarf lionfish and a flame hawk among the local residents. Tonight I noticed an aiptasia has attached itself to the side of one of my brains. I picked up a syringe tonight, Tomorrow they DIE...

I have an aiptasia outbreak in my 75 gal. reef tank. Talked to some people at a LFS and they suggested I inject them with a small amount of lemon juice. Has anyone ever done this? I want to make sure that I'm not getting some bad advice and do something that could cause problems with other...

thanks for all your input. I went back to my LFS where I ordered my tank and he gave me a deal on 60# of bali LR plus I picked up 25# of his base rock all for 20% off. As my last post said I'm cycling now. thanks again, Bill

Just wanted to say my 75 gal. tank is cycling. I want to thank everyone for all the info that I've got off this forum over the last several months and it's nice to see my tank finally up and running. :D thanks again Bill

The price of LR at our LFS is $6.99 lb. and it doesn't look as nice as some of the pictures they show you on the web. As far as type Of rock I'm interested in, I've only see pictures of the aquacultured rock ( tampa bay saltwaters web site, etc.) How does it compare to the pacific rock?

thanks for the info. I think I'm going to go with the T-5 Retro unless something spectacular comes along or else I run out of money first. :lol:

Hi there, Anyone know where to get the best deals on good live rock? Also thanks for the info on the T5 lighting.

I'm setting up my first reef tank and I'm ready to buy my lights. I have a 75 gal. all-glass with overflow, 20L sump w/ mag drive pump. I don't have the overhead room for metal halides. I've researched the power compacts, VHO (440 watts) and the Tek T-5 retros (6 x 54). Has anybody had any...

I was wondering if anyone has bought "pure caribbean aragonite" from purearagonite.com and if so were you happy with what was shipped to you. Also I just ordered a glass 75 gal. ( predrilled w/overflow) and have a question about what size sump I should setup? I am designing and building the...

First alittle background. Newbie to reef tanks. I had Fish only SW tanks in mid 80's and a lot has changed since then. I have been doing alot of reading and now I'm about to start spending money. Sold my 55 gal. and want to buy a 75 gal. I've been having a problem trying to decide on whether...
