The Remora is pretty popular among those that choose to have a skimmer sit in the back as a "HOB". My experience with aqua c is limited to their ev series which are notorious for being tardy in the "break-in" process. But I liked their customer service. However, without an idea of the size of...

Krylon - You will not need a "moon" light lamp for corals - perhaps for aesthetics. At this stage of the cycle, I would suggest you hold off on spending any dollars on lighting and focus more on how you plan on filtering the tank. For now - I suggest you consider adding more LR (live rock) as...

wow looks fantastic. I wish I could have gotten a 210/180 sized tank...but my budget and (better half) thought it might be too much of a jump for me. Keep us posted. I'm probably going to be tagging along since I need as many tips as possible when I finally upgrade my tank.

Welcome! What kind of equipment do you have set up? Looks like you picked up a pair of 3 stripe damsel fish Dascyllus aruanus. They are really hardy but honestly not needed to help cycle the tank. Definitely read up on the forums here to get as much info as you can. Might want to hold off on...

I was looking for a mini UGF...

Infant cough/cold medicines recalled By Debra Sherman, AP Thu Oct 11, 5:53 PM ET Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth and other makers of infants' nonprescription cough and cold products are recalling certain medicines in the United States because of the danger of overdose, the Consumer Healthcare...

LOL - for my FIRST tank - I guess it would have been nice if someone had told me not to spend money on the UGF, Cannister Filter, and wet/dry filter. However - my top five would be: 1. You will get very good at stretching the truth. Sample: Question from parent/spouse. Response: Oh the new...

Chris - welcome! i'm just south of you in metuchen. Really great first post/description. Quick question - how long have you had the red fromia? Was under the impression they are tough to keep???

nice... instead of that link the njrc page, - maybe this link would be better? http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/swap/email2.html This will have all those nice color pics along with the sponsor info.

Skimmer. Although it you're getting a seaclone then go with the fuge. You may even be able to recoup some of the investment by selling the chaeto...years ago I bought mine loaded with mini-stars, bristle worms and 3 blue mushrooms (no idea why he had shrooms in his fuge).

3 months ago was just around the time I went also (my first time) and I guess my experience mirrored yours. That stated though - in retrospect it occurred to me that AO reminds me a little of say a Nordstrom in service - that is, they leave you at peace to look around, mind your own business...

what a beaut...nice trigger. and that is a fantastic website...will definitely be tagging along for ideas. You should consider posting the frag-swap html page on the site too!

welcome! that last pic of that big white critter sure is nice! Is it Reef Safe? ;D

the lighting would be different depending on whether you were going to have gigas/squamosa/derasa in the tank or croceas/maximas. Also - besides lighting, you'll need to be prepared to dose the tank with phyto/food for clams that are smaller in size (I believe the rule of thumb is under 4...

Interestingly enough Cleaner Shrimp lysmata amboinensis are in fact hermaphrodites - so if you added a second one - there is a possibility of fertilizing the eggs. There's also a possibility that the shrimp is carrying a sperm packet from previous mating. However most likely she is carrying...

saltwater is really corrosive so yes you do not want the wood to get moldy or worse, rot. As for what to apply - I'm going to leave that up to the experts here... as an aside for my 55 i didn't apply anything and the wood doors to my stand started to show signs of corrosion from the...

did you put the rock in first or the sand? just wondering how secure the rock is...especially if you get livestock that burrows in sand.

I know it sounds crazy but those little powerheads do put in heat in a tank. It's probably not noticable in a larger tank...we're talking like only 1~2 degrees in the 55. At least - that's what I noticed with a single maxi 1200 in a 55. You might also consider a water alarm. I saw an older post...

he must have drank from the same kool-aid I did. ;)

a guy I knew on RC had a pair and they ate up anemonies (aiptasia or not) with no trouble...laid him tons of eggs too. If you go this route - you may find someone who can ship his/hers to you (because after they finish eating, they don't have much use for them). Generally speaking though -...
