Bugaboy, I would think twice about adding a passer with your koran. Passers are very aggressive. They will kill just for the fun of it. If your koran is an aggressive fish you probibly will get a way with it. Good luck, Kevin

Wrasser, I'm going to assume your water parms are ok. Here is what I do... I float the bag in the the aquarium water to equalize the temp for about 10-15 minutes. I get a bucket and air line hose like you do and pour the contents of the bag into the bucket. I regulate the the water drip...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I now have a good idea of what I need to do. -Kevin

One more question. How long should you keep MH's lite. Is 6 or maybe 8 hours? -Kevin

Good point Righty. Guess I wasn't thinking how fast water cools. Thanks for the reply. -Kevin

Thanks for the reply Ben. At this point if I install it into my oak hood it would be about 7 inches above the water. My other thought was when it heats the water, will it keep it between 80 to 85 degrees. This way I wouldn't need a heater. Any thoughts?

What is the closest you can place a MH setup to the water and how much will the water temp rise? I have purchased a dual 175 watt setup with Ushio 10,000K bulbs. -Kevin

Thanks, I will look into a cleaner shrimp at my LFS. -Kevin

Hello all, I have a parasite problem in my Reef tank. I have fish such as tangs, gobies, and clowns. My Tangs have come down with a parasite infection that looks like ICK. My LFS recommended Chem-Marin "Stop Parasites" to rid the Reef tank of this problem. I would like to know if anyone has...

Righty, Point taken, but for me to change I would have to tear down my whole tank. Not somethnig I would do lightly. Thanks all for the info on the gate valves. I was looking for someone who had this type of setup for suggestions on how to quiet it. Anybody? -Kevin

I do have a cap on my drain. The cap has a air tube in the middle to adjust water flow. My problem is the noise it makes no matter were I ajust it. With out the value I would hear water gushing all the time. By the way can someone explain the differance between gate and ball vaules? -Kevin

Righty, What type of no no's are you talking about? I have a Jetstream drilled tank with a return tube and a overflow tube. In the instructions they recommend installing ball-values. -Kevin

Thanks for the reply liquid. I just found some info on this. It is a sponge. Does this mean that everthing is ok and my reef is doing great? -Kevin

Hello all, Last night I was doing some aquascaping and picked up my LR with mushrooms on it. I noticed a white ball, sort of like a cotton ball attached to the under side of the rock. I touched it and it felt like something was inside it. I have a varity of fish: 4 clowns, 5...

Hello everyone, I need your help. I have a octupus coral in my reef tank. It's been in there for 4 weeks and seemed to be doing fine. Last night I noticed a polyp floting in the tank. After looking at my corals I noticed that it came from the octopus coral. It seems to be losting a...
