    150 Gallon Reef Setup for Sale

    All, I'm moving and won't be able to take this 150 gallon tank with me. There is too much here to list. I'm looking for someone who will take the entire setup for $300. This is definitely a steal as the 3 AI hydra LEDs, 75 gallon refugium skimmer, custom stand, water top off, pumps alone are...

    Warning Zoas

    OK, for the record: I had a pretty active day yesterday and by 8:00pm my hand was even more swollen and the infection spread into my arm. Enough playing around...I went to the doctor. By 7:00 am, after a round of antiboitics and some anti inflamatory medicine the swelling and redness had...

    Warning Zoas

    Thanks Guys! About 40 hours out...the swelling has gone down a little...but certainly not getting worse. If it continues to go down, I'll consider this a painful reminder to be extra careful when handling zoas. If it get worse...off to the Dr. Ken.

    Warning Zoas

    I was moving some rock, corals and zoos yesterday, and cut my thumb. Didn't think much of it...but now my thumb is swollen. Should I be concerned? Is there anything to do do clear this up? Or, do I just need to wait this out?

    Candy Canes and MH 150 Lighting

    I have a 3 year old candy cane that has about 200 heads on it...so I'm really hoping I didn't just kill it. I switched from PC lighting (65W) to a MH 150. The PC was 10K with 420 actinics. The MH is 14K. Is it possible that this upgrade could harm the candy cane? It doesn't look 'bad', but it...

    Live Rock USA

    So, I'm driving to Marathon in the Florida keys and, in Islamorada, I see a sign that says "Live Rock." So I slam on the brakes, and pull into the parking lot of Live Rock USA (www.liverockusa.com). I walk through the door and meet the owner, Gary Levine. Gary was very accommodating; showing...

    Check Valve

    How do you prevent water from siphoning out of your tank and back into the sump when the power goes out? I’ve done this by keeping the return pipes towards the very top of the tank. This way, as soon as the water drains a little bit, air gets in the return line and breaks the siphon. Is there...

    Difference between Male and Female Cleaner Shrimps

    They play nice together...but they can't won't create a mixed breed...it would be cool to see a pepermint shrimp with a sripe down it's back though. :D
