    Chillers

    Last night I received a panic text message to my cell that the fish were frying! I called home to hear the news that my tank was a sultry 89 degrees, I had my wife open all the windows shut the MH off and put a fan on the tank. The results...the tank went down to a whole 88 degrees by midnight...

    Got hosed by the landlord!

    Would you post some pictures of the finished system? I can only get so much from the schematics. I am looking at Oceans Motions for my 55 hex. Being the visual creature I am I need visuals (actual):p Thanks Todd

    Butterfly Choices

    I've had my copperband now for a little over a week and he is doing great. He was a bit shy first few days but now he is doing great:p He was only eating a few fans that were in the tank at first but now he is eating mysis and brine. His tank mates are two yellowtailed damsels, a yellow damsel...

    Topping off

    jlehigh I am having to replace about 1g daily in my 55fg hex. My biggest concern is the wave of mixing FW and SW when I add the DI. My worst nightmare would be to have one of my fish suddenly start having problems because I am adding FW to quickly...or am I just being too paranoid?

    Alice So what do you think about the fluval delima? Should I keep it or remove it? So with a better skimmer do you think I will be ok without the sump? I have already started looking into adding another PH as I feel there may be some dead spots. Thank you all for your posts...keep the flow...

    Wanareef No actually this tank has been running now for over a year without a sump, so I wasn't planning on adding one. The nitrite, nitrate, pH etc all seem to be very stable. Do I really need one even though it has been stable after over a year? Yes the damsels do seem very territorial, they...

    Just like to say hello and ask for any general advice. I am just returning to the marine life since the early 80's. I am the proud new owner of a 55 acrylic hex that I recently won on ebay. The tank now resides on a home built pine stand that will soon be replaced with a custom one from Crow's...
