    A Golden Reef Tank

    I just read this beginning to end - and I have to say - WOW - WOW - WOW... Are you sure this is a private setup??? Are you sure this isn't a behind the scenes build at a private club?? You have more gallons in frag tanks and quarantines setup than most people do their entire setups - AND your...

    Hey, I have a question for you, since you have been around a while, your advice would be appreciated. I have my aquarium up for sale, and a gentleman from Indiana would like to buy it. He is willing to handle all shipping costs, (freight) and he is paying with a certified check from his bank...

    anemone id

    This is a Condylactis Anemone, a great biginner anomone, as the requirements for this type of anomone are not as "demanding" as some others. As with any anomone, it is a good idea to ensure that this animal is only introduced to an established aquarium (I say a year.. but there are a lot of...

    Heater recommendations for a 120g

    Um.. you live in Florida!!! Do you really NEED one????? LOL.. Seriously.. I live in Washington State, and have a 120 gallon, and I dont have a heater at all. The lights, and pumps put out enough heat on thier own to keep it warm. In fact... I installed a fan to keep things cooler, cause...

    What kind of coral(specific)

    Your welcome, and I hope it helped.

    what to buy!!!

    Well, Im not going to jump to conclusions, but I will assume you have had this tank up for at LEAST a month before you tried to introduce anything. First of all. EXCELLENT choice on the soft coral route!:D Thats awsome. The tank may appear to have a LOT of room and most people when new to...

    What kind of coral(specific)

    To give you an exact "latin" name would be next to impossible as there are many species of Brain Coral. This appears to me to be Lobophyllia Brain Coral. Brain corals are actually colonial animals. They can create mounds 6 to 8 feet in diameter, in the wild (which looks extremely cool) and...

    How do I get rid of microbubbles?

    The easiest way is to turn off the pump that is causing them:D The only way microbubbles can be introduced into your aquarium is air being being sucked into a return line or pump by either: A. A small hole somewhere in the return line creating a mini venturi B. Bubbles getting sucked into your...

    My lighting options

    Lights There are really 5 different ways to light an aquarium. The first is to use natural light. Some folks down south have done very well with this. By positioning the tank in a room that gets full sunlight, it is possible to maintain a great system. There are draw back, algae growth...

    My lighting options

    Well, if your only holding softies, you dont need MH's. If cost is an issue, this is a good thing:D! However, if you already have one, use it, and supplement it with VHO, T5's or PC's. (Your two stonies will still love you!) Upgrade to another MH fixture when more funds become available at a...
