[So in a few months, I"ll be purchasing a house and moving out of my apartment. This leaves me with 145+ gallons of water to deal with. Along with all my corals and such. For those that have moved tanks, what's the best approach to take with this? I'm really kind of clueless how to...

[I've got an Iwaki 1500GPH (don't remeber the model # off hand) pump for return. In the past 2 weeks, it's stopped twice. I've found that stopping it for a few minutes, and then plugging it back in seems to get it to start back up. Is there any way I can service the pump? It doesn't look...

[My Kole Tang has Ich. He was fine before I left for SA, now I'm back and he's starting to show signs of Ich. I don't have a QT tank. Other than a cleaner shrimp, what are my treatment options for this guy?]

[I'm gonna take the plunge and get one of the M820s. I'll let you guys know how I like it when I get it and put it in my tank =) I plan on putting my existing powerheads on a 15 minute cycle and using the SEIO 24/7]

[So what are the advantages of using a pendant to house your MH bulbs instead of using the standard reflectors mounted to the hood. Will I get an increase in light dispersion throughout the tank? Are there heat dissipation advantages with going this route?] Edited By scotts on 1084893102

[So I have decided I'm going to add VHOs to my setup. But I haven't decided how I'm going to do it. I have a 60" tank, and 2 250W metal halide bulbs in it. I was thinking about doing 4 48" VHOs on each side, and have them staggered. 2 Actinic Whites, and 2 03 Actinics. Or would I be better...

[i have a kole tang that's been in my tank about 3 weeks now. and he's started to do the strangest thing. he spends HOURS swimming around this rock. going underneath and over it, over, and over and over. hours on end. it's pretty amusing to watch as the turns he has to make are pretty...

[I went to Fish Gallery yesterday and picked up a super nice Bali Aquaculture Yellow Staghorn colony. They had about 6 or 7 Blue Tortutsa frags for $75 each, along with some really really nice encrusting Montiporas]

[i've discovered i have a flat worm infestation. i've got them on my goniapora, my mushrooms, and my waving hand anthelia. i've read that a freshwater dip can kill the flatworms. so my question is, will the corals be able to take the freshwater dip?? and any other suggestions on controlling...

[So, Saturday morning I turned on the ligths in my tank, to discover a little black sea urchin on one of the suction cups to a powerhead. and he scooted behind the powerhead and hid after the light came on. he was black, about teh size of a quarter. almost had that "cute" aspect to him...

[So I was placing a frag that Clay gave me over the weekend in my tank and noticed something on one of my rocks. Polyps! Growing on their own. Right now there are 5, and they're all about 1/8th" across. Not terribly big. They're kind of maroon, with a greenish/yellow mouth and little...

[Okay, over the next month or so I"ll be converting my tank from the WEAK 65W PC setup i've got to a nice shiney new 2x175 20K MH setup. Right now, all that's in the tank are about 16 red mushrooms (started off as 6!!) and a shy bi-color blenny. They've been on a timed 9.5 hour light cycle...

[So where can I get different kinds of live rock? From what I've seen from our LFS in the area, we dont' get much selection. And to be honest, I'm really excited about the Lalo stuff. I really enjoy the orange and yellows it has on it and gives a nice contrast to the standard purple. Is...

[I'm new to the board, and to reef's in general. I've been keeping Freshwater for about 3 years now and I think I've got that down. I'm currently working with a 55g non-drilled tank that I've had water, ~30lbs liverock, 50lbs dead sand 20lbs live sand in. Currently I've got a 65W Smartlite...
