I've got a pair of clown in a 10gal nano and I want to get them to breed. Can anyone give me some tips cause I got no idea what I need to do to keep the fry and such. Thanks

My peppermint shrimp has recently developed a white bulge on its left side. It kinda looks like a peice of substrate. Could it have eaten it and it become lodged somehow? Or is it pregnant? Any ideas? There is only one shrimp in the tank.

I've got some Finger Leathers that are blowing up! I'd be more than happy to swap some frags with somebody

We use the 20' coralife and it works just fine. Mushrooms are doing good. I wish though we had more lighting. I would recommend 2 of the 20' PC strip lights.

What type of bulb should I use(VHO)? I guess with the Halide's I'll use 12k but what about the VHO's? Actinic? and how do you DIY moon lights? I'll be using Lowes Hardware for all DIY.

try a royal gamma. very neat fish, hardy too.

another question: I don't have my ball valve, coming from the tank, open completely. Is this normal? I've got opened only about have way. any ideas about this ?

thanks guys for the info. I'm gonna drain my sump on Sunday. I've got plenty of reef rubble that I picked up in the keys. I guess I'll use that. My specs on the tank are 90 AGA drilled tank. The sump/fuge is a 30 AGA. Does anyone know what the recommended return pump GPH should be? the pump...
