    Best clownfish to go with a Tomato Pair?

    I agree to many nems for one tank. A small harem is nice to see. I have 3 cardinals and 4 percs, cool watching them school. The cards only come out 2 at a time. One stays back and guards the territory. They switch out every so often but all come out when its feeding time.

    Windows XP needed(07735)

    Does anyone have the Windows XP installation disks? My family PC is not working and some XP files I think are corrupt. I will not install XP; just need to copy two files: NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM Thanks, Mark

    What should I do....

    I do run a Phosban reactor and occassioanlly add carbon to it, out right now. I am considering scrubbing the rocks although I really don't want to. I feed every other day and a little at a time. This way the fish will eat most of the food and little is lost to the crevices.

    What should I do....

    Phyl, Wish I knew what was eating/killing the snails. No crabs or large shrimps to my knowledge. I have a brittle start that is black and gold colored. Hides in the rocks and only sticks out arms when I feed the tank. Very hard to get a pic but will try.

    What should I do....

    I have a 36" T5 light fixture. Bulbs do need to be replaced as they are a 1yr old. Snails... a good question. I can't even keep them alive. No matter how many I put in the DT they don't last. I have a bunch of baby snails in the sump and have been adding them to the display.

    What should I do....

    I didn't order test kits for Alk and Mag. I usually mix it for a few hours before using it.

    Tank Care at the LFS

    There is LFS Chain I go to occasionally. The tanks are horrible and the poor fish are always sick. This is for SW and FW. I find it disgraceful but they don't care. I just look and don't buy anything not even crickets. I buy them at a closer LFS. Have seen many sick reptiles also. I complained...

    What should I do....

    Funny Phil. The 75g is up a year and a half and hasn't stabilized. I did better with the 55g using a canister filter and HOB skimmer. My patience is reaching it's limit.

    What should I do....

    Bill, I was thinking the same thing. To many problems and not just lately. I could take an ax to it....LOL. Maybe I should just throw in the towel and say I did my best at the time and go back to FW.

    What should I do....

    I dose Kent Strontium and Molybdenum every 2 weeks, 1 cap full. It contains Strontium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, and Sodium Molybdate. Instructions state 1 cap full per 50g every 4 days. I like to dose slowly. I guess i will increase the dosage as indicated.

    What should I do....

    I was thinking about the crab but not sure if they will eat it. I only used the Reef Crystals once for a 10g water change, was using IO before. The skimmer has been in for a month. The build up did start when the other skimmer got cranky. Guess I'll wait and see. Good reason to rip out all the...

    Phil, no idea. What would cause it become low?

    What should I do....

    Well this is what my tank looks like after dosing Vodka, water changes, and Phosban. Is there away to remove the green algae other than scrubbing the rocks? Or should I leave it be? This hasn't grown but decreased a tiny bit. Any suggestions welcome, pics below. Mark

    Adding bacteria from the sea

    Mike, Bringing back the good ole days. I remember when I was young my dad had those bleached / colored corals in his FW tank full of guppies, platys, and mollies. Sometimes the old way is best. Since my upgrade the tank just doesn't seem to be doing well at all. I kind of regret it now but...

    Rich, The only mods I found were a bigger pump or they used a needle wheel. Let us know if you find something different. Mark

    Free: Berlin skimmer (Union Beach)

    Wombat, no one wants them. I posted it on other sites and no takers. I'll just hang-on to mine for now.
