After cycling my 125g I bought two yellow headed gobies and a scooter blenny. I lost one goby and now the second one looks mighty skinny. Is there a way to feed them anything? I have 140lbs of coral and 50lbs of live rock.

What is a DSB? What kind of worms?

My 125g is done cycling. I currenly only have live sand in the tank, but plan to add live rock and reef later. I only have 3 damsels in right now. What kind of fish do you recommend?

What kind of algae is growing on in my new tank? It's red and looks like rust? It's starting to cover things in the tank. It wipes off easily.

I would like to build a canopy for my 125g (72in?) tank. Has anyone ever done this, or know where plans can be found? I'm not an expert craftsman, so I'll need detailed plans. I currently have a pine stand.

Can someone give me a simple way (instructions) for re-curing LR? I want to order some to be shipped and will have to re-cure. I'm setting up a 125g tank and will be adding the LR into the tank at about 5 weeks (from start of tank). Is there an inexpense recipe for re-curing? Tubs, lights, ect.

Do you also suggest not having Bio-Balls in the wet/dry?

I hope to have a mixure of fish and reef life. Any change to your recommendation?

I14Green, where would I buy the ballast you recommended?

I just switched my 125g from freshwater to saltwater and would like to upgrade my fluorescent bulbs. I have two 36" canopy housings(NO) that came with the tank. Each holds one T9(?) aquarium bulb. Without changing the ballasts, what type of bulbs would you recommend putting in these housings...

I would like to purchase an RO setup for my 125g tank. I'm curious - what exactly do I need? How many stages, what kind of cartridges? Who should I buy from? Is there a difference between an RO system for a saltwater tank and that used for people? Yes, I'm new....
