Just an fyi, While you're crying and clapping for the union guys out in the street remember they're getting union wages and benefits at time and 1/2 or double time for their noble sacrifice. Which you pay for with the highest utility rates in the nation. Sorry guys I know its hard work but when...

Hi, Probably way to soon to see skim. It appears that your rock is very clean. No bio waste =nothing to skim. Why fix what isn't broken.Give it time and save your wallet for good stuff . The best thing rt now is patience. Also not time to do water changes first you need to finish a cycle I...

Hello, Looking at your photo it appears that you have one of those Red Sea max tanks. Is the fan working? I had to prop open the hood for a while on mine finally added another fan and a more efficient powerhead for the return. Less watts=less heat. Good Luck with the tank. BTW your lfs is...

Hi again, Yes you would definitely remove him if space permits. A week in quarantine will let the new guys settle in a bit but isn't enough time for them to get territorial on the pt.

Never had these issues w tangs personally. Just lucky I guess but what Ive recommended to friends and clients is what awibrandy did. Rearrange the rockwork and add multiples to confuse the PT. BTW multiples don't have to be the same species ie 3 yellows. It is possible to add a sailfin powder...

Believe it!! I had a gonipora in my first reef tank. Don't know how many of you wil remember the ones with the spinning spray bar over baled floss in the sump.(circa 1980) had a nice piece for almost 4 years in a 65 gallon tank with 8 sho flourescents for lighting and an in sump skimmer powered...

There's a new led fixture available from marineland. About 90 bucks for a 2' fixture. A friend of mine has one and loves it. Can't swear by personal experience tho. It has separate controls for the lights can mimic day night or lunar. On a 20 gal it might be just the ticket.

Hi, Sorry but from the photo you DO have the concentrator on. I have a 30 reef in my kitchen had 2 nanos in it for flow. Swapped 1 out for a 2 and had to run it upwards across the tank without the concentrator or my tree corals and Xenia looked like they were in a hurricane. Good luck w your...

Nice video. Did anyone else notice the plant it was protecting. I agree with beerfish that GFCI's are a better way to go that and providing adequate clearance for heat sources to vent safely

Saving a dog is the best thing you can do.I got a Lab mix from North Shore and the first thing they do is spay them before you can adopt. Another place you might try if the one in Arkansas (another puppy mill state} doesn't work out is Little Shelter in Huntington. Its a bit of a ride but a...

The guys who wrote you that its too soon are probably on the right track. I would add snails and crabs to tank but nothing else for a month or so. You didn't mention if you used live sand or cured live rock in your setup. These speed up the time frame when setting up. Shrimp do seem to lose...
