I think you mean a snake. (EDIT TO ADD...my mistake, also called an auger. Sorry.) If a snake doesn't work, whatever fell in is most likely still within the trap/siphon portion of the toidy.  I'd empty the water, disconnect the water line (first turning off the water), and pop off the two nuts...

With the holidays here, it’s especially hectic to get everything done. Between tank maintenance, there is no time to do all the shopping, decorating and hanging holiday lights. Here’s a photo of some poor guy who got-r-done hanging the lights. “Honey, did you hang the lights?” “Yes dear.”

Bill, that's what Phyl is talking about...the Reef Gadget: http://www.reefgadgets.com/scraperorder.htm Not sure if they are still available. Someone else chime in?

First thing, if you have a funky looking fish, get it into a quarantine tank. I’m actually more a freshwater person, so take this with a grain of salt. Is the fish swimming ok…swim bladder conditions cause for abnormal swimming especially going up and down. If that’s ok, then I’d guess...

I actually send a letter to the company a while back on this store.  Every salt fish was either dead or near dead.  No one in there right mind would buy any of these fish.  What gets me is that if I kill a rat in my backyard with a shovel, I get a $3000 fine and go to jail...yet they can kill...

What an amazing past couple of days. One of the clowns finally found the anemone after 3 months and now, the cucumber that has been MIA since the swap shows up. I was convinced that this little bugger was DOA…been looking and looking and looking. Tonight I go in to check the tank before going...

Hey, that's what I was going to say. LMAO ;D ;D ;D

Reverse Osmosis….it’s a water purifier. Here's a pic of my RO unit:

Sur4, here’s my two cents: I’m not crazy about two tanks for you sump/refugium.  The U siphon will be a problem***.  If you insist on two tanks, I’d pop a bulkhead in each one and tie them together that way.  This way you minimize the likelihood of loss of flow between the two tanks.  Again, my...

No Fish!  Your tank has not cycled.  Wait.  If you get live rock, put that in...it will be part of the cycle. Buy a test kit...that's your next step.

You lucky dog.  You obviously have a good looking women on your hands.  Now mine...that's another story...and maybe a different species all together (She doesn't read the forums). ;D

LMAO….ooooh like this is going to make it crystal clear! With this knowledge, I’ll start building my own computer tomorrow. I did learn a new word….astable. Now with my limited mentality, I’m trying to think of a Jeff Foxworthy definition of astable. With the highest level of respect, you...

Wooo Hooo! Where do I go to claim my prize. Hope it’s not a 1993 GEO Metro! I already have one.

In all honesty, the picture quality is limiting. Can’t really see the detail to id the coral Here are my off-the-wall guesses from a limited quality picture in order of most likely to least likely: 1. The dead skeleton of some sps. 2. Some white branching sps. 3. If I see purple/blue on the...

Diverrk, I say this with great ignorance...it is what I’ve read, because I know nothing first hand! Pluck an asterina and hand feed your new Harlequin so that it knows it is food. The Harlequin now has the taste for asterina (they say it tastes like chicken ;D), and will continue to eat it...

As a newbie, it seems like every week it is something else. I’ve got a brown/black growth that has just shown up in my 4-5 month old tank. At first I thought it was a diatom problem that I understand is typical to newbie tanks. But it did more than just produce that typical brown covering on...

See what happens when the executive board and moderators spend five or six hours drinking Yuengling at a holiday party...no one minding the store....wish I was there.

Dave, you really shouldn't hi-jack someones thread...but to quickly help you out, that is Eeyore, typically found with his friends in the 100 Acre Woods. ;D

Come on qwik, we know why...Hirobo’s “Ouick ID” responses scared you? :o

Hawk, I don't have a reference...this is what was explained to me...the white / tan asterina are herbivores....keep them, they'll eat algae.  There are other genis of asterina that have been know to enjoy some of the sps in particular, but they are solid colored or multicolored genis of...
