Awesome. Thanks a lot. Only one question...How do I know which one is for me?? (remember, I am new to the hobby and I have alot to learn..) I have a 90gal mixed tank w/about 80lbs of live rock (estimated). The tank is approx 4' wide. What do you think? Kenny Z.

I think you would have more luck at a local hardware store if you have one near you. They always seem to have everything in stock, and being this was a mild winter snow/ice wise, they should have plenty left. Kenny Z.

I am afraid that I am not sure the brand/capacity of the powerheads in the tank. What I can tell you is that they hang from their cords over the edge of the tank and produce slightly less than moderate flow. If something were to blow in front of them (a piece of food or otherwise), it would make...

Reading a recent thread has inspired some thoughts about the importance of proper waterflow in the reef aquarium. My question of the membership is: What tends to be the most effective way to create positive waterflow in a tank? Should the powerheads be placed in random directions? Should they...

I guess I can see frustration in having someone seemingly give you the cold shoulder. However, I try to remind myself that a large part any retailers business is service, and they don't charge you to have a conversation. I can almost understand a retailer not "giving the store away" answering...

My wife and I met Will for the first time this evening. Nice store...good people. Took time after closing hours to chat about a few issues. Overall very helpful. We will be back. Kenny Z.

This has been great discussion...Thanks for all the feedback. I really don't have any real problems... No disease, no nitrate or nitrite, phosphate or otherwise, The only thing I do have is a lot of brown algae all over my rocks. If I could get that to go away with the UV Sterilizer, even if I...

I have had LFS's advise against them due the fact that they "may" nip at corals. I have not seen proof, but I am not willing to risk it. But at other LFS's I have seen them in the display tanks. In my mind, if there is a chance it could hurt, I stay away. Anyone out there have one that is a...

What does the membership think…Is a UV Sterilizer a good idea for a reef tank? I have heard that they can be more harm than good to a reef needing bacteria and organisms to grow. I have just found that the one in the tank that I inherited (90g)was not working. I have pulled it out and I am...

Its on Rt. 28 west of Washington Ave. Only a few stores in across from the post office. I have not solid address, but it is not hard to find. Kenny Z.

I stopped in today, just to check it out. Jung was a nice guy, he is trying to get up and running. Not much to see yet, but has some nice size display tanks a few fish, shrimp and some coral. He has most supplements and test kits in stock now, but not a whole lot of livestock. He says he gets...

It was a great meeting. It was wonderful to meet and speak with people with the same passion for reef keeping that we have. Thanks for having us. Kenny & Elizabeth

The tank is 90 gal. Right now I have about 30 blue legs...

Just added a couple of peppermint shrimp to my tank last night, and within minutes, my flame angel seemed to be visiting it for a cleaning! I know the peppermint shrimp are famous for eating aiptasia, but I was not aware that they would perform the duties of a cleaner shrimp. Anyone ever see...

I am definitely going to limit the feedings a bit and bump up the water changes. Hopefully, over time, this will work out. A chose to add some more blue leg hermits, a few emerald crabs and a couple of peppermint shrimp to help assist the cleanup crew. Does anyone have a recommendation as to...

Good points... Originally I was alternating live/flake every other day, but recently I have been feeding frozen food every day. I was also told that I should allow five minutes of eating time, this could also be a big problem. I do not have any predators, just angels, a tang, clowns, and a...

Thanks for the reply. I will be stepping up my water changes (normally 10% every other week). Nitrates have normally been at zero, but recently they have crept up a little, but the algae was a problem before that. Water changes couldn't hurt! The Algone seemed to work a little, I saw some of...

Hi, Anyone out there know any natural enemy's of brown algae? It seems to be coating the rock in my tank. My worry is damage to corals if the growth continues. My blue claws and scarlet hermits don't seem to be interested in it. I have cut back on the hours of light, and the amount of food for...

I have to say, Eagle is one of the cleanest places that I have visited. I have bought a pair of maroon clowns from him as well as a few corals and a starfish. I had actually bought a green carpet anemone that was beautiful, but my other fish could not seem to stay away from it and were getting...
