    I have this big black worm

    It seems to me, that by reading the artilcle that the worm probably wouldnt be a problem untill it gets much larger so for the time being I would just let it be, unless it does something damaging to the tank, then catch the mother and send him packing!

    I have this big black worm

    How big is "big". I thought that I had one too in my 75 gal before I switched to the bigger tank. I would see it come out of the sand aprox 1.5" long with a ton of legs and he/she would swallow formula 1 pellets whole. The worm was probably only as wide as a small bristle worm. But also the...

    Cleaner shrimp sucks!

    Awsome responses and I think that I will have to find a cleaner wrasse at my LFS, and my two cleaners used to get pregnant all the time before one dissapeared/died:?: It was fun to watch the eggs in their belly's grow but it would be even neater to see them hatch and live without being eaten/killed.

    UV sterilizer refugium ?'s

    I was going to use one pump to pump from my UV sterilizer to my refugium and then back out into my sump. Is there any reason why this wouldnt work, like messing up my PH balance ruining the effectivenes of the UV or the refugium etc. I was just trying to run one less pump. BTW I have a 15...

    Cleaner shrimp sucks!

    My cleaner shrimp sucks! Every time my fish go over to my cleaner shrimp he doesnt even attempt to clean them, is he just too dumb too know that this is what he is supposed to do? The fish will practically lay themselves on top of him and he will do nothing. I may buy another one or maybe a...

    MH 400w to 250W

    What do you mean by "low in the tank with no color loss". If I place the, 400watters, for example too low I will loose color in my corals?

    MH 400w to 250W

    Thanks I didnt know if it worked like a flourescent ballast where if you put a smaller wattage bulb in, it would'nt fry it. What if I used one 400w ballast to light 3 175w bulbs, would that even be worth trying to wire up or should I stick with the triple 400W combo. I only have some softies...

    MH 400w to 250W

    Is it possible to just pull out my 400w metal halide bulbs and replace them with 250W bulbs and everything will be fine? Or will I have to buy new balasts?

    Can I make my own MH light from a shop light.

    Mh Diy I just started this project and thought I would do a little research about the availability for others to aquire used metal halide fixtures and use them like i have. What I have found is that most used lighting and electrical supply companies will sell the used fixtures for $50.00 to...

    Can I make my own MH light from a shop light.

    They can be wired 120v or 277v, and I was going to rewire the whole fixture so that the ballast would sit in my stand below the tank and maybe run 2 lights off of one ballast, I just assumed that I would have to buy the proper mogul mounts and bulbs and make my own reflector but for the price of...

    Can I make my own MH light from a shop light.

    So I have these Metal Halide lights that were in my warehouse at work and they are 400W metal halide fixtures (see picture below). My question is whether it is possible for me to retrofit this fixture to my 120 gal custom hood. Whether or not the light would match the light output needed for an...

    diy internall overflow box.....

    saltwaterman22 is my buddy and was asking for me before I was a member of RF. Just to update I had a black acrylic box made 15"x5"x7" for $30.00 and then routered the slots for drainage 1.5" long 1/4" wide and 1/4" apart. It works awsome. Thanks for the help and advise. Here are some pix. Sorry...
