    Distance between electronic ballasts

    I am so glad you posted this question....I just had a new tank and lights installed (actually been having a lot of problems with this install) and the lights have ballests with them which is the first time I have had lights with seperate ballast. Well they had stacked the ballasts one on top of...

    NaH2O's Fabulous 120

    I had a bluespotted jawfish. I never saw it in my tank. Made this awesome top with eggcrate where every bit of the top was covered. Only opening that was there was where the skimmer was and I was carefull to use zipties to make that as small as possible. I bought mine home at night, I dripped...

    anybody have a sand sifting goby story?

    I have a bicolor goat in my tank....and he does a really nice job cleaning sand. Plus he does not spray the sand everywhere like my yellowheaded goby did. I used to have a yellow goat fish, and he did not do anything for the sand but had a terrific appetite for everything else. I closed out my...

    Majano anenome and kalk treatment

    thanks for the advice. I actually killed a glass anemone on one of my rocks that popped up on in my 135 the other day using this method so I am a little more comfortable It was pretty amazing to see how fast all the sudden her majano took off. It did not spread for a long time, that is why we...

    Majano anenome and kalk treatment

    they have very limited stock right now...I am trying to think. Fish wise she has a lawnmower gobie, a sandsifter, a bangai cardinal and a clown. Corals is the button polyps, some candy canes, and a few zoos. I am sure she has more and I am just forgeting them at this moment. They are going to be...

    Majano anenome and kalk treatment

    probably just lack of experience. I am afraid I guess of having it drip too fast and raising PH too much. But I am dripping kalk right now and everything is fine. For some reason whenever I do anything with my tank, I hear the one thing that can go wrong and that is what sticks in my head...

    Majano anenome and kalk treatment

    My parents tank (29g Biocube) has been taken over by majano anenome. It started out as 1 or 2, and we thought it was some cool looking coral they got with their rock. Well, now there is about 40 of them, just in a matter of weeks. I remember reading somewhere about using kalk to treat pest...

    A Quarantine Process

    I have never had a QT tank before, and unfortunatly I have recently had outbreaks of ick in my display tanks, so am now going to set up QT tank. However I have some questions that I hope are not too dumb. First, you stated that you should not place more than 1 fish in QT tank at same time...

    New MH-acclimating corals

    On my new tank, I switched to 2 36" Sunpod MH lights for 125g. It is the 2x150 each. My corals are presently in (I know this is unusual for a 75) Marineland T5 4bulb with acentic x 2 sets for total 8 bulbs covering entire length of tank (the fixture is the same length as the tank...not 1 on each...

    Red bug interceptor dip?

    I couldn't really help you with the above questions, but I did just recently searched the net yesterday on red bugs myself and found out that some people are getting interceptor from Canada as they do not require a prescription for it there. Other than that, I am way to new to give any advice...

    ID please on this BAD bug!

    thanks. After the post I thought it might have been something from my LR. I keep a bunch of small LR in my sump to attach corals to. So, a teenee mantis is very possible. The other thing that I wonder if it could be is red bug. I recently lost all of my acros to what I thought was temp...

    ID please on this BAD bug!

    Oh yeah, the red worm thing with the bottom half of its body that was black, had what I think was an antenna on its head. This at least did not end up in my tank (at least this one that I saw)

    ID please on this BAD bug!

    I purchased 3 heads of ricordea tonight from a store that I normally do not go to. I assume they are wild raised, as they were not attached to rocks (however there was very small piece of rock on them) I temp acclimated them and went to attach them to a piece of my live rock tonight. I poured...

    Sargassum Frogfish so Cool

    Today I came across this article in Coral the April/May 2008 that was so interesting to read entitled Terminal Feast by Tobias Engel (pg 75). He explained how frogs are ambush hunters that lay and wait for its pray. He had a striated frogfish that was 5 inches long and he ended up placing the...

    puppy advice

    another thing that can help with nipping is just grabbing the pup at the base of the neck with your fingers, not saying anything, and apply very gentle pressure with your thumb and first 2 fingers. It is like a "mamma" dog bite and it makes my one pup drop on his back right away. I saw it on the...
