I have a sand sifting (bullet) goby that has done a great job in cleaning my tank, but also takes great pride in covering any coral placed on the bottom with sand. I want to get him out of the tank and find him a home. Hence the problem, he is SO FAST and so skittish that as soon as something...

I won this Red Lobo at the last meeting. When I first put it in the tank, it was solid red, now over the last week, it has been turning green around the edges. I thought maybe it wasn't getting enough light on the bottom so I moved it up, but that doesn't seem to be making a difference. All the...

Anyone have any calibration fluid I can recheck my refractometer with at the meeting tomorrow?

Currently I have an AQUAC EV-180 skimmer that I am quite happy with. I have a 90 gallon display and a 40 Gallons Sump, so looking at 130 gallons of water. My EV-180 has got a crack in it, so thats an excuse to either replace or upgrade. Though some have problems with AQUAC skimmers, they have...

I have a CURRENT USA ORBIT PC with 4 x 96 watt bulbs. I am quite happy with the unit as far as how much light vs heat/power for use over a 90 gallonn tank. It uses square pin 96 watt bulbs and when I bought it, the stock bulbs are 2 dual daylight 6700/10000 and 2 dual 420/460 actinic. The...

I have a pretty large area in my sump with lots of live rock rubble. I was going to add some cheato and setup reverse lighting in it. Anyone have suggestions on best way. Someone on RC mentioned they make a PC type bulb that looks like a flood light that is 6700K, but I haven't seen it.

OK, all you DIY'ers.... What is the best way to keep flexible tubing (1/2 or 3/4") that hangs over into a sump from moving. What do you use to secure it to the top lip of the sump, so pressure doesn't move it or want to make it act like a water whip.

OK, all you sump experts, I need you suggestion on the actualy procedure to glue the baffles. I figured out that it makes sense to put the baffle that is 1 " off the bottom in first (middle baffles) as I can silicone both sides without the end pieces. But then I get to the ones on either side...

I am going to try to do my own plumping this time for the project of moving the sump to the basement using an external pump. What is the best adapter/reducer/combo to go from the pump (Gen-X MAK4) which is 3/4" M to 1 1/2 PVC. Is there such a thing as a female 3/4" to 1 1/2 slip connector?

Has anyone heard of this before. I got a bunch of snails and crabs from Liveaquaria.com (I like them alot, great service). Attached to one of the very large red leg crabs is what I belive to be a feather duster. Is that possible? I will try to get a picture of it, but the crab moves around alot.

Anyone know where I can find Bullet Goby's My sand could really use the help and I have heard that 2 can keep 100 gallons very clean within 2 days..

Resurfacing the hard wood floors in our old 1920 dutch colonial house gave me the perfect excuse to start over with a blank slate. After the floors were done and I put up some floor jacks in the basement for support some extra weight, I am starting my 90 RR up from scratch. It was a FOWLR, but...

Hey Guys, Soon to be a member of the group (at March meeting)... I am creating a new sump for my 110 Reef tank and moving it to the basement. (My current sump is under the stand and I am getting to old to bend over and work in tight places - *I hear the snickering*) I have a 40 gallon breeder...
