    55g softie to SPS switch over questions.

    In my 55 I had a tunze 6060 and a seio (i forget which) on the other side. I could see a pair of koralias - but I think a pair of tunzes may be overkill. My sand doesn't sweep up but that's because it's more the crushed coral from the gulf of mexico kind. Either way though - I agree with...

    Lighting Question? H.P.S.

    "High Pressure Sodium lamps are used in greenhouses to elevate the red, orange and yellow electromagnetic wavelengths hitting the plant." Are you asking because you think the other alternatives (t5, led, vho, pc, mh) are not suitable for your needs? Or is this like a cost analysis? I never...

    When you mentioned LPs - the first thing that popped into my head was Shaun of the dead and the scene where they argue what albums to throw at the zombie. Ed: 'Purple Rain'? Shaun: No. Ed: 'Sign o' the Times'? Shaun: Definitely not. Ed: The 'Batman' soundtrack? Shaun: Throw it. Ed: 'Dire...

    Fish Babysitter??? Hmmm What to do???

    agree with mike. In case you can't find someone - I drive thru green brook to get to work. I'll help on one condition...I get to bring my 6 yr old daughter over and watch the grouper eat. I'm sure she'd have a blast. ;)

    Fish Babysitter??? Hmmm What to do???

    I could be totally wrong but I thought the panther grouper is for an aggressive tank only...and a 75 may be too small for it as it grows up.

    Adventure Aquarium World Ocean Day June 8, 2008

    I'm pretty sure there was an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on Discovery Channel and that guy mike was in a scuba/snorkel outfit getting the poo (hippos not in the enclosure with him obviously). It looked gross - like everything else on that show (but like a car accident, I can't help but look).

    skimmer question

    not to my knowledge, if anything you could try setting up a do-it-yourself trap on the outflow - maybe some filter or something to just temporarily stop the bubbles until the skimmer breaks in. Anyone else have thoughts on pre-filtering the water before it reaches the skimmer?

    How to return fish to fish store?

    I usually put the fish in a bag with water, then drop a air line tube and pump some air in until the bag gets tight, then tie off with a rubber band/knot. Done deal. You want to maximize the amount of air you can fit in the bag if traveling far (which for you does not sound like the case).

    skimmer question

    not a dumb question -I believe the answer is yes. Everytime I take my skimmer out for a cleaning, it will go thru a "break-in" period again before it gets to that foaming "sweet spot". Bubbles in the tank aren't too bad unless they are out of control. It really depends on how many and what kind...

    LED Lighting

    tbone- I am going to say this statement is not quite true -but I am not anyone who's researched LED lighting personally. Generally speaking, blue light does nothing for the growth of corals and really is used via actinics purely for aesthetics. Yellow light (6500K) is more typically used for...

    ID's Please One Coral-One Worm

    hey paul - fwiw, I am pretty sure I have a couple eunice worms - and they - so far - are pretty peaceful scavengers. It is a really really big species group and the risk is the ones (however rare) that grow really big. From what I read - they do not attack corals, but eh...go for fish. Not good...
