    Are my new lights too bright?

    Honestly I don't know man...I just got rid of mine. If I had it to do over again I would get a 5 gallon bucket with a heater and airstone and isolate it from the tank just to make sure that was the problem. In my case I kinda just got lucky by throwing it out since it was already dead. I...

    Algae or algae like identification help

    MLAliMike- I don't know what it is either but I have some also. It just appeared out of nowhere about 6 months ago on a piece of rock I've had for about 6 years! It hasn't grown one bit in the 6 months I've noticed it...and appears to be about the size of yours. Honestly though, I haven't even...

    Are my new lights too bright?

    I can't add anything about lighting but...It sounds to me like your toadstool is killing everything! I don't know how much toadstools and devil fingers have in common but they look pretty similiar. I had a similar situation happen to me when I switched to better lighting. I was so distracted...

    How many clowns in a tank?

    I forgot...make sure that the pairs are noticably different sizes though! There are tanks out there with 10-20 clownfish...it's just how you do it! The best was is to introduce them all at once...but fish have the memory of...a fish! Haha...so you can simply rearrange the rock work and they...

    How many clowns in a tank?

    I respectfully disagree with Burke. I may end up being wrong but I think your fine to add them. A great safety precaution would be to rearrange the existing clowns 'home' though. I have had 3 pairs of clowns and they are terrible when it comes to new fish...of nearly any species really! I had a...

    Fuge inhabitants

    I don't know your system...but if you have liverock in your main tank you dont need to do anything! The pods can travel from your main tank to your fuge with no problem...thats assuming you have live rock in your main tank. You do want to have rock in your fuge for your pods to hide but beyond...

    tropic eden reef flakes

    Well...fair enough...I cant argue with that. I still have a problem with the consumer wanting to buy something that is basically the same as what they can get in the states...but what do I care its not my money! If they have to have that grain size then go to it. HA... I just felt attacked so I...

    tropic eden reef flakes

    I just dont see why you have to outsource...around the world!!! to find some good sand! I wasn't trying to make anyone mad...just trying to bring the conversation back down to earth. I wonder how moon dust would do as aragonite...anyone want to fund a trip to the moon for me? I will bring you...

    tropic eden reef flakes

    I dont see the purpose...sorry. Sand is sand. I did click on the link but after 3 seconds of reading I gave up...what is so special about substrate? I have never heard of a reef flourishing or failing because of substrate.

    Vinegar + Water to clean Pumps?

    Vinegar is cheap...why worry about ratios...dont do math just drowned it and rinse it off))) I'm sure it doesn't take a 100 percent ratio to kill stuff but why sweat the numbers...go 100 and dont worry about it.

    Fiji Mud

    Yeah...when you and the mud to the fuge let it settle...then let it settle some more bofore you pump it in the display tank! It will cloud your water like none other...and if you dont let it settle enough you will have a thin layer of mud on everything in your tank, you dust that off and it...

    Painting the back of my tank

    Well IMO I like black or blue (not light blue, or dark blue...just blue), clean it like noworries said (you could just use windex or rubbing alcohol), but as far as what kind of paint, sure spray paint is the easiest but by volume the most expensive of course I am penching pennies here but as an...

    Killing unwanted pests (mojitos, Antapseseseses)

    NC2WA- All you have to do is have a syringe attached to some air tube, boil some water, put it in the syringe, point and squirt! They will shivel and "die"...back to my question, do I have to remove them...if I dont will they reproduce?

    Killing unwanted pests (mojitos, Antapseseseses)

    My real question is after you "kill" them do you have to remove them? I've heard great things about joes juice but have yet to use it so I don't know if they float around but when I use the boiling water they float around...I need to know if they must be removed or not. Thanks for any help or...

    Killing unwanted pests (mojitos, Antapseseseses)

    I have been boiling water and using a syringe to pipe it down to kill them. The question is what ever way you kill them do you have to remove them? I'm not worried about the decomposing factor but rather can is there a chance they ren't completely dead and float around and establish a new one...
