I have had good results with petwarehouse.com. Have not tried their livestock though. I'm going to buy a skimmer from marinedepot.com. I'll post whether they suck or not. Ha. Stick it to the man.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Damn that funny. Borrow a trigger. Just kidding. Use a trap, they work pretty well. Stick him in the sump, refugium, biske, etc. Good luck.

Eric: Other than the not eating part, has the labored breathing worsend or settled back down. Also, is the breathing fast or slow. Here are some reasons breathing may be affected; -change in pH of greater than 0.1 in 24 hours. -Drastic change in salinity, perhaps .010 in the course of an hour...

If its the hammer coral species I am familier with it has individual heads with its own share of the skeleton. Dont worry about cutting off the head to save the rest of the coral. This, if it does go way south should not hurt he rest of the coral. Of course if it does die you may want to...

Usually water circulation is the culprit when heaters overdrive and heat the tank. I know I had this problem on a 6-gallon nano reef. I fixed it by placing a powerhead directly across from it aimed at the middle, right above the coil. This is where the thermostat usually is. If this does not...

For the past three days my brain has not re-expanded in the morning and is even shrinking. I have a large rosy brain. It was moved onto a new location when I was cleaning my tank. The next day it failed to swell. I have since moved it back to the sand were it was previously. There is not...

Thanks a bunch guys I'll try both suggestions. I'll target feed with brine, of some other type of food. As well as direct another power head in that direction. They are in a low flow area of the tank. Thanks again.

Help. My "fuzzy mushrooms" a dropping like flies. I'm not sure if thats their real common name. I'll try and describe them. They have a whitish mushroom base with hundreds of small fluorescent tenticals green in color. I have them in a 75 gallon, w/ 20 gallon sump. 80 lbs of live sand...

Jesus Christ man! Here. I have an idea. Why don't you go to Robin's house and kill him/her. Then mabye knock his/her tank over. Kick their dog if they've got one. Crap. It's one thing to have an opinion. I agree. A reef tank needs to be torn down. But why don't you offer some adult...

To be honest with you. That sucks big. A normal house spray for insects is one thing. The tank can be covered with plastic. A tented fumigation can be another. Simply covering it with plastic might work, but I doubt it. The best suggestion I can come up with is several 55 gallon trash cans...

The temperature is definatly a contributer. Is the Skimmer a hang on? Have you tested for phosphate? And finnaly what are the nitrates at? An overflow would improve the situation drasticly.

I've had this problem before on an overflow I couldn't reach. Never thought of the bristleworms before. That may work. They don't require light to live. The powerhead also might work. A little one pointed straight down. You might try a prefilter pad. That worked for me, or pantyhose...

Ion exchange resin is ion exchange resin isn't it. If you can regenerate normal exchange resins, you should be able to regenerate TWP resin right? Heres the thing. How do regenerate normal resin. At work we use conc. acid and base solutions run intermitently to break the bond between...

I'm sorry for not posting this in the trading forum. But if anyone is interested I have some prime ocean front property I bought in Arizona. It even has a natural reef. Imagine that. Capture your own specimens. Any takers?

When I first set up my 70 gallon, glass. I saw a pool of water accumulating around the bottom of the tank. It turned out to be a leaky seal between the trim un the top of the tank. One quick seal. Hopefully it may be that. If its not that. Unfortunatly you have to tear it down. Get a 55...
