Does anyone know of a good method of scraping coralline algae off the glass without having to get your hand in the tank? I decided to finally clean the front and sides of my 90 gal sps tank yesterday, and my hands were breaking off some of the corals. Even the Kent scrapers with long handles are...

After spending a few hours cleaning my sump, I realized I got to use a filter sock. I had given up on using it a while ago because when I first put one on my sump, it made me skimmer go nuts for hours. Has anyone else had this problem have and how do you solve it? I have an H&S skimmer which is...

Does anybody know of someone, or a store that has one of these for sale? Thanks, Ken

How do you clean the inside glass of a bow front tank? The Mag-Float is flat and the glass is not. It does not misses a lot of algae. Does anyone know of a good and easy method or tool to use? Thanks, Ken

I just set up a second tank primarily for a RBTA and a pair of Clarkii clown fish. I will probably add another 4 small fish and some star polyps and mushrooms at some point. The tank is a 46 gallon bow (3 foot length )with about 65 pounds of live rock, Tek 5 T5 lighting, two Tunze 6025 Nano...

I picked soem very nice rock from Something Fishy on Saturday. They said that had it for a few weeks. The rock had no smell at all. I brought it home, hit it with a brush, rinsed it and put it in my tank with about 35% water from my other tank with the balance new water, and a small piece of...

Has anyone gone to this store in Pa? They are supposed to have nice rock. Can anyone verify? Thanks, Ken

After learning first hand that it is not best to mix nems and corals, I am setting up a second tank for a pair of Clarkii's and a RBTA, amd some polyps, and mushrooms. The tank is a 46 gallon bow (20" deep). I plan on using a Sunset Supply Tek 5 which has individual reflectors. T-5 lighting (4...

Is Tonga generally regarded as "better" rock than Fiji? Also is Fiji basically branches? I was wondering if you could aquascape nicely with just Tonga? Ken

I have had a beautiful pair of Clarkii’s in my sump for the last 8 months or so. I was hoping to get a maroon clown out of my 90 gallon reef tank and put them in but to no avail. I will say that Jazzsam is persistent though. I was going to give the Clarki’s away, but I don’t want to part with...

Does anyone know the cause and how to eliminate this? I am not sure which species it is. My tank is setup a little over a year and I have no other algae in the tank now, as well as any other time since the tank has been setup. This includes even the first few months. I have no measurable...

I want to get a Copperband Butterfly. Is anyone selling one, or anyone see one in a store that is eating? Thanks, Ken

I took this pic today while doing a water change. It looked cool with the water level down. I got this "green slimer" frag from Keith Fitzgerald earlier this year. It was about 4" tall and had very few branches. Now it is 8" and a tree. It has also encrusted on the glass as well. Ken...

How are these for a reef tank? Also if they are OK, would there be an issue with it and my Goldflake Angel? Ken

I was thinking of getting a carpet nem IF it will stay on the sand. Does anyone know if they would climb up on the rocks or do you think it will stay down at the bottom. Also would a maroon clown go in it? I had an RBTA that the clown went in but I got rid of the RBTA. Thanks, Ken

I was wondering if I could take a shot at this: I have a nice pair of Clarkii's that have been living in my sump for a few months. I got them figuring I could get my maroon out. Well of course that didn't happen. I had two RBTA's that my maroon hung out in, but I got rid of them today. Do you...

Two free Beautiful RBTA's, but you have to do the work. I want to get rid of both of these. They take up too much of my tank and cannot put any corals there. One had split from the other. They are healthy and have beautiful. On is the size of a catcher's mitt (if not bigger), and the other is...

Are the three holes near the top of the standpipe supposed to be above, in the middle, or below the top of the water line? Also is it better to have the flow from that standpipe discharging below the waterline or at the waterline in the sump? I was curious about this because when I turn my...

Do I need silicone around a UniSeal when using on a rubbermaid trash can? Thanks, Ken

I just purchased this sea urchin and it is in a bucket acclimating. While I was doing that, I tried to do a search on the net. Does anyone know if it is safe for shrimp, snails, sps and lps? Also can they potentially jab lps and an anemone with it's spines? I asked the store owner and he said it...
