Hi, It's been about a year since I set up my 75 gallon reef tank (some pics at http://www.spazthecat.com/iblog/B93549880/index.html) and I was now looking to optimize anything I could. So, I was looking for a little advice as far as what I should do first. My set up is as follows: -75 gallon tank

Does anybody know where I can get one of these skimmers at a reasonable price in Australia (melbourne) or alternatively where i can buy one from the US without the pump -Glenn

hello everyone i need a little help what happened to the days when this was easy to understand. there are way to many choices out there now. i am not looking to set up a full reef system but i would like to have one invert to house my clowns. i have a 150 gal tank 48x24x30. what is the min lighting...

The past few weeks I have been noticing these black spots on my Perculas. They appear to change in shape, size, and position. I am not aware of any diseases like this. Anyone familiar with this situation? TIA ~Mort

If you have the time and want to feed me some comments then check out the page. http://members.optusnet.com.au/pinball_skozzy/skozzysaquarium Sorry for the long link, but once I get this page finished I will get a more user friendly url.

I am also up for your suggestions for lighting. I currently have 1 white / 1 blue 46" ???? bulbs that are about 8+ yrs old! Need replacing obviously. Been a while since I've been back in this hobby, but this 55 makes a nice addition to the dining room area. **HAS TO have a hang on back...

What is the best HOB overflow? I have a CPR overflow now that has to have a pump to keep it primed. It has gotten clogged and made a mess in the past. My tank isn't predrilled, so I need a better alternative. TIA ds

I live in Ottawa Canada, and when I read that an American thinks stuff is expensive, I must laugh. You guys don't know the meaning of the word. When a hermit crab that is smaller than my finger nail cost $4.00, and I need 150 of them you are talking $600 just for little tiny little hermits. A...

It looks like in a few months I maybe moving and have some questions to ask about moving a tank. First off, the tank is a 45 gallon reef tank with various zoolanthus polyps, green star polyps, and a few pieces of cabbage leather coral. There are various snails and blue/red legged crabs, emerald...

Currently have an 55g undergravel that has been up since Nov 1. Have 8 fish that I'm getting rid of at the store.....don't want the style. I want to change to a rock / clown / pigmy angel tank is why. Current filter is a MAGNUM. Change filter every week. Tank located in a very visible spot in...

Can someone help me ID this guy? These pics are all a little blury, but I think show enough detail. It looks exactly like an emerald, but red (are there red emeralds?). Also, should I be trying to remove him? As far as I can tell, he hasn't done any damage but he's getting HUGE...I would guess...

I would like some opinions to this: Recently my experiment for growing phytoplankton went all arse up, instead I grew a massive amount of seaweed and green alge, I can back from a few days away interstate and the seaweed mess was over growing. So i removed most of it and also scraped the sides of...

I have a banded coral that somehow lost a leg in the shipping bag. I was just wondering if shrimp have the ability to regenerate lost appendages. Anybody know? TIA, Scott

Has anyone tried to transport live corals or fish in their carry on luggage? I have searched the carry on rules and don't see sal****er prohibited, but the screener is given total freedom to prohibit items not listed. thank you

Hello Everybody!! This is my first post so be please be gentle. Right now I have a 50 Gallon aquarium with 2 clowns, 1 yellow eye tang, 1 powder brown tang, 1 blue tang, 2 chromis, and a cleaner shrimp all living in harmony. I have about 15-20 pounds of live rock and about a 2-2.5 inch sand...

I have 2 36" Sunlight supply lights with 8 bulbs each Total 16 39 W bulbs, 72" across. I admit I pretty much guessed at the bulbs to get, the quantity and the placement. I keep SPS and others in my tank. How does this arrangement seem to you? Also, is 12 hours on a good amount? I 'pair' the T-5...

My computer has filters on it that will not let me view this website which I put on it because I am a Christian and I have no desire to look at filthy stuff. So this site is no longer an option for me. I've enjoyed my time here at Reef-chat helping others and getting help for myself. Good...

Unlike the common Fighting Conch or Queen Conch, here's an interesting guy that I've had for 8 months. http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/0404/conch.html Enjoy the images. Marc

I've decided to move up from my little 29 gallon fish tank (one clown fish and three other fish -damsel(sp?)). Anyway, I want to move up to 100 gallon tank and start keeping a little more difficult fish than clown fish. In the two pet stores I went to, I only found one 100 gallon tank, and it was...

Greetings, I have a 55 gal tank with 3x Occelaris clownship. I'm looking to add a anemone to the tank which I'd like to have hosting the clowns. The H. Magnifica looks a nice one but heard it is quite a difficult anemone to maintain in the tank. Any comments / suggestions appreciated.
