    How do I get rid of Aiptasia

    Seth, welcome to the party!! I'd venture to say that there isn't very many reef tanks out there that don't have any aiptasia in them. Unfortunately mine does. I've read that peppermint shrimp eat them, but have talked to people that say they don't. Another option is a copperbanded butterfly...

    Algae ID

    Yes, it's calurpa. I've been told that tangs eat the stuff, but I'm not sure. If you want to get rid of it, give Paul a call at Indoor Reef in Tacoma, I think that he's usually looking for it, he may even pay you for it. Good Luck

    Need Opinions on Tank Setup

    As Krish states "there are many ways to go about things in this hobby" , most of the time it is personal preference, the space that you are limited to, your budget, etc. Personally, I like using a sump with a skimmer, as Mr. Calfo has said a couple times " the solution to pollution is...

    Advice on dry Walling around my 120

    There are several products to consider. Regular drywall, green board ( a moisture resistant drywall used on bathroom walls, it's green), Durock ( a cement mixture sandwiched inbetween two layers of mesh, typically used behind tile). I wouldn't recommend using Dens Glass ( fiberglass drywall...

    I need advise! I can't keep calurpa alive!

    I have a 24w PC on my fuge that's on a reverse schedule, so I don't think that light is the problem.

    I need advise! I can't keep calurpa alive!

    Yeah, this stuff is suppose to grow like a weed but for some reason I'm having a hard time keeping it alive in my refugium. First I started with Chaeto, and it dissentergrated, then I got some blade calurpa, and most all of it is gone. I think that it first turned a whitish/pale color then...

    Modded MJ 1200

    Hey all, I have a MJ 1200 that I modded, then I siliconed the suction cup frame on the back to attach to the glass. The problem that I have is that the suction cups keep losing suction then the MJ goes flying and blows sand all over. I was thinking about doing a magnetic holder similar to a...

    I have some Xenia to get rid of.

    Which kind of xenia is it? I'd be interested in a couple heads. It's a long drive, but I think I could manage it. Let me know what you got, maybe after the Hawks game we could meet up. Thanks, Dave

    getting green gone

    Let the algae grow, then just buy a fish that is an herbivoure (sp?), you'll have an enless supply of food for it and it'll be fat and happy!!

    Fish Stocking List, 120g

    I like the idea of having a school of fish, but I don't really care for Bangais. I bought one for my wife and it really is a boring fish. It doesn't swim much, just floats in the same place for long periods of time. Have you considered Blue/Green Chromis, I think that they are beautiful...

    Big snails or little snails????

    I have to disagree with most everyone else on this thread. I had some smaller snails and it seemed they didn't do a very good job cleaning up, then got some bigger ones (I think Turbos?) and they ate everything, alot more than the smaller snails.

    Adding Sand?

    only add about a 1/2" at a time then let all your critters migrate to the top, do that about every 2 weeks till you get the desired depth. If you do it too quickly you'll kill everything living in your sand.

    How's my Interceptor plan?

    I don't know how to treat red bugs but it sounds like you've put some thought into it, one good place for research is Wet Web Media. They have very accurate and detailed information on just about every subject. Good luck!
