I got the H. Magnifica 5 days ago. The female is a Snowflake and the mail is a wild caught Perc. I couldn't get them to host in a RBTA. Now they never leave the nem. Ken

I am re-doing my sump and pump. How many times tank turnover do I need? I was going to use a Blue Line 20. Using the head loss calculator I would have 5.5 turnover. Is this OK? I also have three Tunze Nano Sreams 6055 in the tank. I also have a Blueline 30 hanging around that I could use if...

How do I post pictures here with Photo Bucket. I just got an account and uploaded some pictures. How do I get them to the forum? Also the file size that I took is larger than what I can post. Does Photo Bucket automatically down size them? Thanks, Ken

I have 6 T5 bulbs with individual Ice Cap reflectors. They are 8 months old and I am changing them tomorrow. Do I need to change the photoperiod or should I be good to go as is? thanks, Ken

I have a HOB refugium with Cheato only. I turn it and prune it weekly. I have this set up for a few weeks and I see quite a bit of hair algae and bubbles trapped in the algae in the two outside compartments of the refugium. Should this be removed? Why would I have this in here but not the...

Set up the fuge last week and now I need to prune the cheato. Is there any certain way to do it? Does it matter if I cut away the new or the old and discard one or the other? Thanks, Ken

Does anyone have one of these fish in their reef tank? How are they? I read that cleaner shrimp etc would be on their diet, but also heard that if the shrimp are in the tank first that it would work. Any comments from people that have done it? Thanks, Ken

I am setting up a second tank (70 Gallon Oceanic) which is 36x18X24. I decided to go with a wood canopy as well. I am going to do a 6 bulb retrofit using Ice cap reflectors.

My newest tank (setup about 9 months) now has a lot of tiny whitish starfish. Is this a problem? If so, how do I deal with it? Thanks, Ken

I am changing tanks in a week or so and during the move I wanted to take out a couple of pieces of rock that I do not like and switch them with better shaped rocks. Since the reef tank has been setup for a long time and I am just supplementing rock, I was thinking of just adding dry rock. Can...

I live in Manalapan. Where can I buy an X10 module for my chiller and the module that the communication cable goes into? Aquadyne said that they use an X10 Pro and didn't know if the "regular" x10 works for their unit. Thanks, Ken
