    water temperature?

    No metal halides. Loved to have them some day. How much do chillers cost for a 71 gallon tank?

    water temperature?

    Just curious, what temperature does everyone keep their reef aquarium at? I just set mine from 80 to 75 degrees. It is upstairs and with a hot summer and no air conditioning, I am thinking this might be best to avoid the temperature going too high this summer. what is the lowest in my clowns...

    New Mandarin

    Thanks for your responses. Mandarin is now out all the time, three minutes at a time, many times throughout the day. But now I bought a Christmas Wrasse and after making the purchase it sounds like a possible mistake, may be competing for the available pods. I am going to look into the New...

    New Mandarin

    I just bought a new Mandarin and put it in my reef tank on Saturday. Now four days later and it hasn't come out from hiding. I can see it so I know it is alive but it is afraid to come out and join my two clowns and cardinal fish. Is this going to change or is this going to be the way it lives?

    worms?

    Too small to see if they are flat, round or whatever. No damage that I can see so they must be pretty benign. My tank is only 3 months old. Had ich and the last fish died off about three weeks ago. After another week or so I will slowly start adding more fish again.

    rose tip anemone

    well, I lifted off a rock hanging over it, and it looked real bad. The tentacles looked dark, flat and short. It looked like it needed to be revived. Well, I left it for a couple of hours under direct fluorescent lighting and it looks wonderful. It is still on the back side of the rock pile...

    rose tip anemone

    I just got a rose tip anemone and it is stuck/hiding in the back where there is no light. Do I try to retrieve it and set it out in the light or leave it be. I had another anemone that would never stay put and finally got sucked up into the filter intake. So now I don't know what to do knowing...
