Sorry, I've not been clear. The pair are also true percs...meaning there would be 3 true percs in the tank.

I have a hex tank which is 15" wide by 21" high. Currently the only occupant (apart from a few softy frags) is a juvinile true perc. It's only about 0.75". I've been trying to find a companion for it, but all the LFSs have false percs. I have however been given the offer of an established...

My new tank arrived yesterday. I've went into research mode to figure out what sort of plumbing and sump setup I'm going to make. The tank is 48" x 18" x 18".....I've not completly decided on what livestock I want yet, but here are some of my thoughts. 1 Coral banded shrimp 2 blood shrip 1...

unfortunately not, the stand is higher than most for the size of tank though. I don't remember what size exactly and I'm at work just now.

Hi, I've had my current setup as it is now for about a year (it's been running for 3 years, but has undergone some changes in that time). Currently it is : main tank : 24" long * 15" high * 12" deep sump : 20" long * 10" high * 12" deep refugium : 15" long * 11.5" high * 12" deep I have...

Hi, Recently I was given some reef plugs (made using the garf method) that were still curing. I read Tom Miller's article and he states that bubbling CO2 into the curing water helps speed up the curing process and also strengthens the rock. I've got easy access to carbonated water. Does...

Hi, Just to start I've not added anything new to my tank (that could house a hitch-hiker) for quite some time. A couple of weeks ago, I found these on the bottom of my tank. The only crabs that I know of in the tank are some scarlet hermits and a mithrax. I was slightly concerned about thse...

I've found that you can use a razor blade to cut the mat, then just peel it off the rock.

I've been lurking here for a couple of years. I come here to gain knowledge. As I don't know a great deal myself, I don't post a lot.

I've got the same problem, I've not stopped the sound, but I've came up with a wee cheat :twisted: to stop the moaning. I have the pump running on a timer. I have the timer turn the pump off at 10pm and then back on at about 1am. By this point everybody is asleep and we don't hear it...

I was 21

cool. :)

Are black lights safe on a reef tank? In the past I'd been led to believe that they are can cause damage to the sight of fish and also kill bacteria in the tank. However, recently I've seen some pictures posted by people using black lights in their tank, and I must say that the colours that come...

I've got a pic on my website....it's not great, but have a look anyway http://mysite.freeserve.com/Tank/marine/invert_pics/images/mithrax01.jpg

Hi. I forgot that it's my birthday next week, so I might be able to buy a small skimmer in the next fortnight. That doesn't solve the problem of the algae that's in there. Without taking every rock out and going over it with a toothbrush, it will never go away. If the growth of the algae is...
