    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...

    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...

    Teflon Tape

    I'm trying to link together two of the 100 gallon rubber made tanks. They come fitted with 1 1/4" bulkheads. I used teflon tape to seal the threads and noticed that they leaked. (Dripped) Question: Should I put silicon in the threads? Add more teflon tape? ( I put about two or three wraps...

    Melting Candy Cane

    My candy cane looks like it's melting...literally. Some of the polyps are loosing their shape and sliding off their stem. Any idea what might cause the polyps to loose their shape? The remaining polyps (About 30) look fine.

    Heat spike

    One of my heaters broke and caused the temperature in the tank to spike to 92 degrees. I lost three corals, a hammer, frogspawn and yellow leather. I have GSP that are still recovering, but seem to have made it through OK. Everything else in the tank seems to be doing well. The yellow leather...

    Flatworms

    Is it possible to have flatworms in your refugium but not in your tank? I've definitely got them in the fuge. Tried flatworm exit (FWE) but they came back after a few weeks. However, I don't see them anywhere in the main tank. I have two Cleaner and 1 Coral Banded Shrimp. Could they be keeping...

    Fragging a Red Tree Sponge

    I just received a red tree sponge from SaltwaterFish.com. The piece they sent looks great. The web site says the piece will be 4-5 inches but the piece I received is about 9-10 inches. My question is...can I simply break the sponge in half to have two 5" pieces? Any help would be appreciated...

    No skimmer

    What happens if you don't have a skimmer (or at least a good one?) I purchased a SeaClone 150 for a 120gal w/ 30 gal sump in January. The tank was only a few weeks old when I added the skimmer. At first, it pulled ALOT of stuff out of the tank. However, the liquid was always very dark, not...
