I wanted to put a bulkhead on a rubbermaid trash can. Will it seal and not leak since the can is curved? Do I just use the rubber gasket and nut and on a tank or sump, or should I use silicone? Thanks, Ken

Has anyone switched (on the same tank) from MH to Solaris. If so, what do you think? I am using a comb of 250 watt DE 10,000k Ushio bulbs, and T5. I was wondering how it compares. Thanks, Ken

I took a rock out of my tank with an anenome attached. It is in 5 gallons of tank water. Should the rock and the nem be ok for 24 hours? I dson't want die off on the rock. Ken

My RBTA split. I'm a proud poppa. It was easily the size of a catchers's mitt. Are there reasons why they split? Does anyone want the baby? If so it is free as long as you get it out. If you can get the maroon clown out too, she's yours as well. Ken

Has anyone made a cover for the overflow box on your Mega Flow box? I am getting tired of taking cleaning the algae out of it. If so, what is the best way and materials? I figure if I block the light I will stop the algae. Thanks, Ken

I bought 5 beautiful Lyretail Anthias this past weekend at Tropiquarium. They are all eating. I have been feeding them mysis shrimp. If I want to feed them twice a day, how much should I give them. Is one cube split in half two times a day OK? Thanks, Ken

I am looking to buy 5 female lyretail anthias. Does anyone know a store that has them or is anyone wanting to get rid of and sell from there own tank? Thanks, Ken

Does anyone know anywhere in or around the Manalapan area for getting CO2 tanks refilled? Thanks, Ken

I wanted to get some anthias for my 90 gallon reef tank. I know they are supposed to do better in groups. I want to purchase three. Is there a specific type of anthias that is recommnded? Any stores that you know of that generally have them stocked? Thanks, Ken

Hey Merv, You said that you are now using a gravity feed for your Deltec skimmer. My H&S is basically the same model as yours. I am going to split the flow from the tank between the skimmer and sump and use a ball valve to get the proper flow rate to the skimmer, and I know how to plumb it. I...

Thanks Sam for coming all the way down here and spending the time trying to defeat the beast with me. Well, we put out a great effort, but unfortunately, a one ounce fish defeated us. He is still having a grand ole time going back and forth between nems. I guess we could have used Bill Murray...

I debated getting this guy as I wasn't sure if he would pick on any corals. I have had him for about 4 weeks and so far he hasn't touched any. The photo below doesn't do him justice. He is beautiful. http://upload.pbase.com/image/75202811/large Ken

I have a few SPS frags that came glued on wooden plugs. I want to remove them and glue them on to rock. How do I remove them from the plugs? Do I use a razor blade at the bottom? Also do I do any damage to the polyps etc when touching the coral itself while I am handling it? Also I have this...

I'm thinking that you are afraid to drive the beast. Now you could prove me wrong by coming to beautiful downtown Manalapan, help me rid me the tank of nemo, and then show me your skills behind the wheel. Is this working? If not, I also did a lot of engine work on my HD (120 ft lbs torque). You...

I am trying to get a nem out of my tank that has been attched to the same rock for about 2 months. I tried repeatedly blowing water at its foot with a turkey baster with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas what else I could try, or if you are so inclined, want to come to Manalapan to see if they...

I have a gold stripe maroon clown in a rbta. I had thought about replacing her with a pair as i have not been successful in getting her to coexist with a smaller one. Since I noticed that whenever my hands are in the tank, she nips at me and is always near my hands, I thought sh may be easy to...

I have had blue pulsating xenia for about a month now and it has really grown. It came on a piece of rock, and now the arms have attached onto the neighboring rocks. At some point I am going to want to get it from spreading. Can this be cut without causing damage like infection and so forth...
