    Quality of a "Sea Clone" skimmer??

    Dont' waste your money on Sea Clone - it's a piece of JUNK! Only way the sea clones will work is if you put it in a larger tank (50 gallon and up) with such a high bio load that it has no choice but to work.

    Let's Talk About ~Reefkeeping Dangers~

    Thanks for the info. I did hear about the dangers of toxins from the polyp family. I always make a point to wash my hands well with anti bacterial soap and hot water each time I handle corals or dip my hands in the tank. I heard that some island natives used to rub their spear and arrow tips...

    Ocean coral reefs gone in 40 years??

    lovelove I did read on MSNBC that the reefs will suffer significant damage in the next 10 years or so, and that reef systems around the world maybe gone within a few decades. They said the reason is global warming and the "green house" effect resulting from the many gases released into the...

    how are his fish and coral ok at 71 degrees

    The tank maybe warmer than the ambient temp. Even though the ambient temp. of the house is 70 ~ 72, there's usually enough heat coming from the lighting, pumps and other equipment to act like a heater. In my case even if I didn't have heater my tank can hover around 74 ~ 76 just from the heat...
