I used to use normal output flourescent lights when I got into reef tanks back in the early 90s. They worked fine and we kept all sorts of corals. We...
I would go with a 4 x 54watt T5 HO or a 6 x 54watt fixture. I couldnt tell you a good brand but there are quite a few decent ones. Also consider what...
Everything eats something and is eaten by something. I'm sure that this little guy with get snacked on when I eventually add fish or bigger inverts...
I was injecting some aptasia with a baking soda solution today and noticed a little shrimp dart out of the hold one was in. I've tried to get a...
I have no critters yet. I was considering options for a surface skimmer but I havent decided what yet. It will either be a small box with a PVC...
Ok, ill give that a try. My dog has alergies so I have some spare syringes. I will post more pictures after the tank settles down a bit. Thanks
By this I assume you mean a baking soda solution? Then just inject into the holes that the little pests retract into?

Thanks for the fast reply. I assumed it had the same requirements but assume is a bad word. I hate loosing fish and it really sucks explaining to...
I was reading posts here and have resigned myself to not getting a Mandarin Goby. My tank is only a 55 and will never have the food available for...
Good, I took my time putting it together and really didnt want to replace it. Everyone else agree? PVC is cheap so I guess I could measure flow...
Ok, so the last piece of gear for my 55 came in today. I am setting up a 55 Gallon reef with a 20 long sump and the late arrival was a Quiet One 3000...
