Can anyone recommend a tank moving service? I'm checking out my lfs, but just wanted to ask around. Thanks.

Does anyone keep Peppermint Shrimp in a reef system with a dottyback? I've been waging war against the little aptasia buggers, which has costs the lives of about 4 Copperband Butterflies.. The injection of kalwasser paste works, but I just can't keep up with them, so I figured I'd try the other...

a tang in a 60 gallon??? i'm surprised the tang police haven't been to your house yet..

i had a horridle hair algae problem in my 75g reef.. i tried a letttuce nudi too. he seemed to be ok for a few weeks, but i never saw him eating the algae and haven't seen him for a while.. anyway, i religiously did a weekly 5 gallon water change, but used a hose and some tubing to suck the...

i'm running a mag 1200gph pump that splits off between my skimmer and the return. the main tank is 75g with a 20g long sump. the less heat the better. after the T, i put in two ball valves. it's pretty easy to control and saves space in the sump area.

After looking and waiting and searching all the LFS' in my area, I finally found a juvenile CopperBand Butterfly to add to my 75 Gallon Reef to hopefully help with aptasia.. The other fish in the tank, two tangs, kind of bothered him for the past couple of days, but he seems to be holding his...

how about getting the lights off the top of the tank somehow, either hanging them from the ceiling or what I did was use pieces of egg-crate to keep them a few inches away.. then you can blow a fan across the top.. in the winter, i leave them right on the top of my tank.. (heat is not an...

Cardinals are reef safe. In that size tank, you can put a bunch and odds are they will breed.. I only have a 75G and added a pair about 6 months ago. One died, I think from being stressed by the other. The remaining one is doing great, but still won't eat dry food. (Just brine and chunks of...

What about snails and hermits?

Does anyone know where to order the plastic edge/center brace piece to fit a 75 gallon AGA? I have an old one that is missing the entire top, but it still holds water.. I'd love to setup a fish-only system.. Thanks..

I just finished converting my diy 20 gallon long sump for my 75 gallon reef into a diy 20 gallon long sump/refugium. i'm using the light everyone recommended from the hd and it's working out great.. here's my question.. for multiple reasons my reef is not a good place for shrimp, but has an...

Why put xenia in a sump? Just wondering.. I have a huge colony in the main tank, so big that I frequently sell frags back to the lfs..

I'm currently in the process of turning my 20 gallon sump into a partial refugium. I picked up a 36 watt power compact light from the hd and it's good to go.. My question is, how much light for the refugium? The LFS says 24X7.. And I've also heard it should run on the exact opposite...

it will be in plain view. (off the side of my tank) there really isn't room anywhere else.

Does anyone have the CPR Hang-On Refugium? I'm thinking about setting up a refugium to support my 75 gallon reef and this product seems to be pretty much all-inclusive.. Thanks...
