    How Do You Eliminate Aiptasia?

    I bought a peppermint shrimp before I knew they ate aptasia, and he had my 10 gallon cleaned out of them in about two days, WOW!

    What a great idea to get people interested in, I am just glad I could be a part of it. Thanks SlowBoat, I will see you next week.

    I'm finally ready to show off my 55

    Wow time flies when you are having fun, I can't believe it has been a year since I resurrected that 55. Since Lew90 reminded me about this thread I will do an update, the 55 has been taken down due to my lack of dedication and spending too much time with my other hobbies (mountaineering...

    I used the thread on your 55 as inspiration for my own 55 so I am definitely tagging onto this one to see if I can learn as much as I did from you before. Tim

    New posts doesn't search for sale forums?

    I actually like the way it is now, for a while there it seemed that I had to wade through a lot of other stuff to get to the mainstream reef threads. Of course my time spent in the water fountain has decreased.....

    Fish feeding help

    All, I have a yellow clown goby that seems to be having some problems, the more time goes on the thinner he is getting. I feed twice a day with a variety of food including, mysis shrimp, emerald entree, and cyclopeeze. My other fish are doing great and this little guy eats just fine but he seems...

    That is sad, I never like it when one of our animals die. I'm with you for moral support. Tim

    calculating power usage.

    The 400 watt bulb could very easily use a full 400 watts. In a circuit using a transformer the only things that change are the current and voltage, the watts stay the same. For example on the primary side (wall side) of a transformer you have 120 volts and as it goes through a transformer (bulb...

    calculating power usage.

    I just reread this post and I don't think my previous one really answered your question:oops: I'll try this again: There will be a small amount of power consumed in the windings of the transformer feeding a mh bulb but for the most part the power into a transformer = the power out of it...

    calculating power usage.

    Think about it this way, when you buy a car it often has a horsepower rating from the manufacturer, but in the real world the car would rarely produce that exact amount of power. Dirty oil, running in a different gear, old spark plugs ect all affect the power output of the car, the same thing...

    What can I put into my tank?

    Um, not to be a pain here but I would get rid of the scooter if I were you. I tried really darn hard to keep one going in a year old 55 without success. The only time I would recommend scooters for a small tank is if you are extremely experienced in salt water, had an unlimited supply of pods...

    Protein Skimmer

    Skimmers take a while to break in so if you don't see it do anything at first then don't worry about it, just turn it down some. A good idea might be to search around here and look at pictures of different peoples tanks to see what the water level in their skimmer is compared to yours. I am...

    Lighting my 75 gallon

    Your corals are suffering from too much sudden light, how long did you have the metal halides on each day? Corals need acclimated to that much light. As far as heat goes, you can turn up the airconditioning for your house, blow some fans across the water, raise the lights higher off the water...

    Protein Skimmer

    For hollister750, the same basic stuff applies (other than emptying your collection cup) feed us some info to crunch on.:)

    Protein Skimmer

    For starters, how about giving us some information like Ed mentioned, amount of live rock, how long the tank has been running, and what livestock is in it. Next, the stuff coming out of a skimmer (skimmate) should be anywhere from dark brown to green to black. If you are getting just clear then...
