I have a hang on skimmer from reef octopus. See 65 Gallon tank and stand, RO BH-2000 HOB protein skimmer & 2, 36" Orbit Marine LED strips with ramp timer pro for sell

I just got some 4' used Current Marine Orbit pro LED strips. Since I have vertical walls in rockwork with cavities, I need my light source spread out like the t5s or strip lights as they leave fewer shadows and bounce off the glass well. That is why I didn't go with a black box or puck style...

My 4 bulb t5 fixture broke. Does anyone have a 2 or 4 bulb T5 fixture I could use for a short while while I decide on (and save up for) its replacement? I live in Jackson.

I had a carpet under my 65 gallon tank. The cabinet floor was on the carpet and bowed up, which in turn made closing the doors harder. Worse it would shake as I walked near the tank. So a material that settles under a higher load may not always be the best. If the floor is flat, but slopes, it...

I have a buyer that I am holding this for now. Yes, it is a SHELLy tank through and through. And that is no aBALONE, Below is a shelf I made with Coral legs and attached shells and coral. The colorful shells helped make it look nice through the new tank stages.

I bought shells, aquarium sealant, aragonite, and some low alkaline cement (from a pool center. I first used the sealant to connect some scallop shells back to back and in a slight arch. I placed the arch over loose aragonite. I mixed the cement with water and aragonite to make a concrete...

I have an artificial arch rock with about 30 orange and green bubble tip anemone clones on it. The arch has run out of space for corals to spread and needs to be thinned. The arch is about 20 inches long, 10 inches wide and 10 inches deep, so a container larger than this would be needed for...

I only lost power for about 6 hours. I used a battery backup to run one pump. I also poured water into the tank several times to help aerate it.

Sorry to hear your problems. I guess it goes to show this is the time to "shock" you pools, but not your aquariums. I am assuming the shorting blew out the ATO and skimmer. The couch should be OK unless you are using it to dry out the MP40.

I do not believe algae eats anything. They use photosynthesis to create their food like plants (These with Chlorophyll A) and they need the same nutrients as plants as well (Nitrates and Phosphates - I would assume a carbon source as well). Algae types aren't closely related to each other so...

If the sand is clean, you should not need to be worried about a cycle if you already have live rock. Cycling is really the buildup of bacterial sufficient to support the biological breakdown of ammonia and a working tank should already have this. However, if you use a silicon based sand you...

I am also no longer working as of this week. I suspect it will be difficult for me to get another job again. My son and grand daughter have been staying with us since the start of school closings. He teaches from home, so it helps to have us with her. I haven't been able to see my other son and...

Funny, but the reason I started a saltwater fish tank was because of yellow tangs I saw in Hawaii. I thought they were great and it was my only must-have fish. They weren't really schooling then (it was summer when I went) so it might have been different if I had been in Costa Rica.

I have to prepare my water from an outside attachment. I connect two (2) RODI units to the faucet and start in the morning, I fill up a 35 Brute trash container on dollies. As it is filling, I first refill another 35 gallon Brute trash container on dollies I mix salt water in. Then I mix my salt...

I use 2 coral + and 2 blue + T5s. I have tried the purple and the actinic. I find when I use 1 bulb of a color, it never looks right as they shadow or only light half the tank. I also turn on the 2 blues first, and then the 2 coral + later. I turn off the whites first and then the blues last...

I don't feed the pods. Feeding phytoplankton to me is counterproductive; it feeds the free-swimming copepods which will get filtered out along with the phytoplankton. I probably overfeed my fish. And I always mix in small food particles when I do. I have a sand sifting diamond goby and a yellow...

I got tigre pods from last Year's Jackson meeting. This is an early morning picture of the side of my glass. I like to let the algae grow on one glass wall (usually the back) so they and snails have something they can eat. Typically you want the pods that are benthic and crawl in and around the...

A valve in a return line suggests that the line will or could be used as a syphon drain, or worse, accidentally closed. You cannot expect to run a tank with 2 syphon drains and no addition safety drains. This is especially true with ball valves. First, you may overflow the tank before the...

I have some in Jackson.
