    AI question

    Having received the new AI Sol from the group buy I have now realized that the fan in my first one doesn't work. I knew it didn't come on before but I haven't run them long and just thought that it only came on when the fixture warmed up. When I plugged the new one in, the fan came on and stayed...

    Sand Sifting Crabs??

    These just look like the little crabs I used to catch on the beach when I was a kid. Sand Crabs, Mole Crabs I've head them called different things. Anyone have any experience with them? They look pretty cool but I don't want to add something that needs temperate water or something...

    My Harlequin has eggs!!

    I just noticed today that my Harlies have been doing naughty, naughty things. My girl has eggs! Not really looking to raise them or anything, just nice to see they're happy. I'm sure my corals/fish will be happy about this development too. I was going to trade them in on a pair of Hawaiian...

    Mud in refugium?

    Ayone use any of the "muds" in their fuge? Looks like it would work out well but it's pretty expensive and it seems as though you need to replace it every so often. Was thinking of mixing it with the sand but if it needs to be replaced that wouldn't really work. Anyone?

    Looking for some odd things

    I am looking for 2 things that I'm hoping someone can help with. 1) Asterina Stars. I have my Harlequin pair and they buzz through Stars likes it's their job........which it is. I'm looking to get a good amount of Asterinas to keep in my frag tank to supplement their diet a bit. If I have to...

    Clownfish question

    Is there an age or size when a Clown makes "the switch"? My Picasso is about 2". If I add one about the same size is there still time for them to pair up? Thanks!

    My tank thread is gone?

    I started a new one once the site was upgraded but it's gone now. Any ideas where it may have gone? It was in the nano section.

    Is it OK to........

    be in love with a powerhead? I got tired of waiting to get the new tank up to try out the new (to me) MP10's. I have always been in the "I will never pay that much for a powerhead" group but I'm not anymore. I was actually worried that the 2 of them may not be enough flow in the new tank...

    TR Ocellaris Clown 08807

    So, things aren't going over so well between my 2 clowns anymore and little Mr/Miss Ocellaris is going to have to go :(. About 2" or so, maybe a little less. Wish I didn't have to do it but I don't want to lose my Picasso either. So, free to a good home.

    WTB: Phosphate reactor and pump 08807

    Anyone got a spare PO4 reactor laying around? Don't necessarily need the pump but it would be much easier. Tubing and everything would be helpful too. It turns out my PO4 is back with a vengeance (tested it at .52 last night). I think my Montis may be toast but I relocated the other SPS to CJ's...

    Picasso Clown

    So I have seen both Percula and Ocellaris Picasso Clowns. Any way to tell the difference between the 2? I read about the differences between the normal ones but not so sure if they would be as apparent in a Picasso. Anyone ever try to mix a Perc and an Ocellaris?

    Thinking of a new tank

    So, I am thinking of a small upgrade. With the $1 per gallon sale at Petco I have been thinking of going to a 40b. Now, I know what you're thinking. 40b isn't much of an upgrade over a 30g. Well, my 30g is an AIO so I am losing at least 5 gallons with the back chamber. Plus, throw in the room I...

    Feeding my fish

    So, my PO4 is way too high. One thing I want to do to lower it is to cut back feeding to every other day for at least a little while. Is this going to be an issue for any of my fish? I have a red and a purple firefish, occelaris clown, a mccosker's flasher wrasse and a mandarin. Also I have a...
