In this wasteland for reefkeepers that is my little corner of the world, I have the misfortune of having only two ****ty shops that sell sal****er. By sal****er I mean strictly fish and the odd anemone or unfortunate shrimp not coral. One is a chain which shall remain nameless and ever clueless. ...

Over the last couple of weeks I have treated my main tank with Mardel due to a die off of a lot of fish due to an Ich and/or a stage 2 bacterial infection.

Hello all, How many inverts (snails, shrimp and hermits) can I safely put in a 12 gallon tank? I have 5# of live rock and 5# of live sand already in place. I'm not going to add any fish or other inverts (corals, etc.). Thanks, Angel

during a bit of maintenance I moved a couple of small pieces of live rock to discover that these were covered in a lovely reddish coralline algae but the surfaces covered but the MH direct light was smothered in hair algae that has to be removed daily. surely the coralline should grow on the front...

Hello; I have a AquaC Remora HOB skimmer on my 55gal tank. Last week, I made some slight adjustments to my tank ... replaced the glass hanging heaters with a Won Ton Brothers titanium heater, removed a broken MaxiJet 1200 powerhead, and moved one of the other powerheads to a different spot...

Hi all, My tank is overstocked. I know this because my nitrates are high and also because if I posted a fish list here everyone would go through the roof and killfile me. :) Unfortunately there are very few fish that I'm willing to part with just yet. Last night though, I was wondering exactly...

I want to make a hex-tank (6 sided) Around 40 g. I want 1/4 - 3/8 thickness in the material. 1. I know I can just buy one. But I want thicker glass. Does the bottom piece have to be tempered glass, and why? I understand that tempered glass can't be drilled. 2. I can have the plastic shop do all...

Anyone know where I can pick up some Pickling Lime in Denver? I've tried 6 different stores that I thought I'd seen it at before but couldnt find it. It may be that its just out of season though. I had my dad call the grocery in WY and they told him they only carried it in the canning...

seems like as soon as I changed the salt I was using I stared having rapid algae built up. already using ro/di. Does anyone have similar experiences?

"eco-aqualizer" has anyone used this rather new product ? What were its results? It goes on line from sump,wet-dry,canister,powerhead ect. and uses ionic energy by electromagnetic physics and FAR infrared radiation to produce remarkable results and rduce water changes by 50%. Fresh,salt,and reef.

I've used several different kinds of protein skimmers and I've never been completely happy with any of them. I don't like the fact that almost all the venturi or bio-ball skimmers (the ones that depend on pressure/flow to create the small bubbles) use the same pump for creating the bubbles as they...

Hello all... received my Aquatec 8800 RO booster pump on Thursday. Yippee ! But there were no installation instructions with it, so I was going to ASS_U_ME that the pump is installed between the carbon and the RO, but then thought I'd ask you guys first. Should it go there, or does it go before...
