The past month I have put quite a bit of money and time into my tank. I am not going to list everything but it was needed and/or wanted. Before I started all of this I saw that my Bullet 3 was leaking at the base. I noticed today that there are a lot of micro bubbles in my display. I think they...

I am confused. Does anyone have an Oceans Motions 4 way on a Barracuda pump? The reason I ask, is I just had a dart go out and the only replacement I could find quickly and locally was a step up to the Barracuda. Cool, no sweat...more flow. I have it plumbed in but when I open the ball valve...

I assume that the recirculation pump stays on at all time and the feed pump only comes on when the CO2 is on? Is that correct?

I know at one time Ashlar posted the program he was using for his AC3. Does anyone remember where that is? I am FINALLY hooking mine up and would like to have some insight on what other people are doing versus starting completely from scratch. Also do you need a crossover cable to connect it to...

Hello everyone... I am looking for the best place to get Double ended Metal Halide bulbs but here's the catch. I have 2 250w and 1 400w. The last time I ordered them from Hamilton and got 10Ks which were way too yellow for me so I returned them to get 14Ks which looked great. I though maybe...

Hey all I have a Bullet 3 Precision Marine protien skimmer and my problem is whenever I clean the collection cup and do a water change; when I restart the skimmer it always wet skims overflowing the top cup and filling the satellite collection cup causing me to need to empty it in just a few...

I was looking at my tank today and notice my SRBTA was very deflated. I thought this was very unusual because he has been in the same spot since putting him in the tank and has grown huge. Fully opened he is pushing 18" across. I was not too concerened but wondered what had happened to tick him...

What is the best place to buy Carbon and in your opinions which carbon do you prefer?

I have a 100 gallon sump/fuge. I figured it up and about 65 gallons of it refugium after the dividers. I have a 196W PC fixture with daylight bulbs. When I first got it I ran both bulbs (they have separate switches) but about two months ago turned one off. I would just like your thoughts on...

So I used to have tons of pods in my tank. I could look almost anywhere and see them crawling around. I picked up a Mandarin and now I can't seen to locate any. My fuge is still crawling with tins of them in all sizes so I don't think I need to worry about him starving. What do y'all think? I...

I have a piece of purple monti that I got at the frag swap a few months ago. It is growing which keeps me happy. My question though it this. Is there different types of monti? Is there one that encrusts and just covers the rock it is on and one that creates the shelf like growth. If there are 2...

I got one of my favorite fish and Magnificent Foxface! :D He hid for quite a while (my cat would jump on the ledge of my stand and scare the detrius out of him) and after almost 2 weeks he is now hanging out in the open quite a bit more. Enough to notice he is picking on my zoos GRRR :x (I...

I have a brand new (less than 1 week old) Hamilton 10k DE bulb. I came home Friday night to find out that it was not on. I have no idea what the problem is. It was working since Sunday when I hooked it up. I actually have 2 ballasts and neither one of them are lighting the bulb so I find it hard...

I came home from California last week and to my surprise/horror my blue carpet nem had claimed its second victim...a STARFISH :shock: of all things? I never even considered that it would get a starfish! Has anyone else ever lost a starfish to a nem?

I was California on business last week. While there I went to the Hamilton Lighting home office and picked up new DE bulbs for my tank. I had been running the 250w bulbs that I received with the fixtures and had not even had the 400w going because I didn't have a bulb...anyway my question is...

I have a question about a rabbit fish eating zoos. Here is the scenario... There is fish that is in a tank where he is not getting fed much and competing for food with a lot of other fish for the food that is given so it has been sees munching on zoos. If you move them to a tank where there is...

I took this short video of one of my cleaner shrimp cleaning my African Midas Blenny. I really get a kick out of them setting up their "stations" but my Blenny hangs out in this hole when he's not out and about and so they just go right to him and give him the treatment! :D...

There is a red carpet anemone on Saltwaterfish.com in the EIBI section...very pretty (both in looks and price) :wink:

:cry: I posted earlier about my achilles have a bad case if ich. When I got home tonight he was still alive but looked even worse (if that is possible). I got him out of the tank filled my old aqua pod with some water from my tank and lowered the salinity a little to try to nurse him through...

My tank has been up for about 2 months (give or take) I have an Achilles tang in it that I could not pass by because of the price. I know tangs (especially Achilles) are susceptible to ICH. He has it and has for several weeks. I was hoping that since he was eating like a pig that it would go...
