    New addition... beauty huh? =)

    Living in Richardson I always heard about The True Percula but never got the nerve to drive all the way out there. Well, this past weekend I did and look at this beauty! Some call her a Hybrid black/scopas tang but I'm going to go with "Black Scopas"... she looks almost like a Gem Tang =) (no...

    Sick fish - what are these????

    I've described this b4 on RC with no replies. The tank has had Cuppramin AND Prazipro in it. 3 LFS's had no clue... so I added the fish (tang) into the display tank as they didn't appear to bother him and were small (everyone said they were scratches). He is doing fine. NOW, I add a Powder Blue...

    Rod's Food - anyone use?

    Anyone use Rod's Food? I hear it's great stuff and he has amazingly colorful clowns (better than ORA or SA clowns in my opinion) http://www.rodsfood.com/info_ingredients.html problem - it's a bit expensive.

    How does Prime/Amquel work?

    So say something is decaying. These products "remove" ammonia... what does that mean exactly? Will whatever that's decaying still decay? will the "removed" ammonia return as nitrite at some point? edit: wow, my tap water is LOADED with ammonia right now. wow... Thanks in advance!

    *check your RO water*

    friendly reminder... during many season changes, a lot of cities have ammonia in their water (not the greatest thing to add during a water change). I checked the Dallas city water the other day and OMG sooo much ammonia! Amquel and other water conditioners will remove it. good luck!

    What are you most proud of about your tank?

    Did you rescue a coral? do you have 12" of growth on that rare SPS? Maybe you raise clownfish or developed a unique on your tank? Just curious what others are most proud of? For me? For my current tank that's still dry/emptry... I'm "most" proud about twisting my own arm and getting an AC3...

    CO2 tank thread?

    Hi, I can't seem to find that thread that listed all the CO2 tank/refill suppliers? I think it listed about 8. I figured I'd start there rather than open the phonebook. I know there are other options - but I want to find a 20# food grade tank. Thanks if anyone knows where that thread is! =)

    When you first see someone's aquarium, what do you...

    what do you notice first? the fish? corals? equipment? stand? silicone? rockwork? Just curious what "fashionable" things people notice first generally. I know when we look at a cool car or an attractive man/woman we each gravitate toward something first. So what's your obsession?

    RO and auto-topoff question

    Would it negatively impact the RO/DI unit/membranes by having the float valve directly in the sump (constant on/off) or would it be better to have a resevoir to which I would take water from every day to top off with (i.e. the unit would run continously to replenish the 5 gallons I scoop out)...

    Overflow - which would you choose?

    280g ~1500 gph EACH overflow For the overflow... Would you choose 1.5" slits in the TOP tank option or 1" slits in BOTTOM tank option? (I'm assuming these are enough for 1500 - PLEASE let me know if you don't think so. I don't have a tank set up right now to "test" these) Thanks! alt="">

    Tunze owners - question?

    Do you run your 6100 or 6200 at 100%? My tank will be 60" long and I was thinking of using 6055's (2 each side) on 7095 controller because the 61xx seem so bulky - and I'm not sure if 3000gph is too much anyway. My tank will be mixed reef sps/lps with an intentional shallow sand bed in the...
