    1000 Gallon

    I think it was the comment about feeding the shark stray or neighbors cats, I don't remember which it was. Some people are just to serious. :)

    Compact Fluorescents vs Metal Halides?

    What fluorescent lights are you looking at? T5? T5 or MH are your only options with clams, most require high light and depending on how deep your tank is you may have to go MH.

    What do you want to keep in the tank?

    sturman8r's 57g rimless

    I've had my Rio for over 10 years and have had it in service for about 7 of those years. I've not had any issues with mine till recently, the impeller needs to be replaced and I have to mess with it to restart after it's been turned off. I'll probably get a new pump and keep the existing one...

    instant ocean / reef crystals

    I did switch to RC without any issues, but then switched back to IO. I didn't like how I got white deposits from RC. I have a mixed reef and am doing fine with IO. I know a few folks with SPS dominant tanks using IO. Just keep up with your water changes and keep your parameters in check.

    help on heat

    You can also get a small fan and blow air on moving water. I use to have one sitting on the top of my tank, but you could also run one over your sump. Now I have window AC units so that I get to stay cool with the tank. :)

    Anemone dying?

    I was just referring to what burning2nd said. Not burning it.

    Anemone dying?

    I agree with burning. I had one and it ate anything floating in the water. It ate a ric that detached and a sixline wrasse. I got tired of it eating everything. :) BTAs are a better anemone.

    Chiller?

    I run a window AC unit. That way I stay cool also. :)

    Shrimp has molted

    I never take them out. I read somewhere that the molt contains good nutrients for your cleanup crew.

    cleaners and the aquarium

    Also, turn off your skimmer so that it doesn't inject anything into your water.

    Mixing Clowns?

    The clarkiis I had would beat on every new fish I added. They killed three or four fish and two cleaner shrimps. They are pains in the you know what... :)

    upgrading tanks

    +1 for Todds info. That is what I did when I upgraded from a 55 to a 125. I didn't have another cycle. Also, I would advise to not add anything new for a little while after the move. Let everything settle.

    240 Cube Build Help

    If your going to have sand, you could patch the holes and the sand would cover it. It's acrylic, so it would easy to do. Just a thought. :) BTW, love the tank. I did see it when Ben had it setup. It's my dream tank, I love that size. Lucky sucker... :)

    Fire shrimp eat bristleworms?

    I have seen my cleaner shrimp pick one out of my GSP and devour it. It was cool to see.

    Hmmm...is this a good idea or what???

    How about drain enough water to move it out a few feet, put water back in to cover everything. Then, setup the 180 in place and transfer everything over? I helped a friend move out his 90 gal due to a leak and it didn't take very long and was pretty easy. The biggest issue is finding enough...
