Hey I was looking through my new book and they said that yellow tails do
best in a group of three or more.  Less than that they tend to be
aggressive.  When I saw that I thought of you and yours who like to head
but.

I've *finally* changed out the lighting over one of my tanks and added
400 W MH.  My problem is that the bulb will fire for about 2 hours
and then shut down.   After 10-12 minutes it turns back on again, then
goes off about 5-8 minutes later, repeating this cycle.

Hello group,
Individual wants to trade 2 skimmers locally, for one air driven-in
sump skimmer with pump/valve(s), one is an Oceanic series six
external/in sump venturi skimmer, it is intact and in vgc except for

Can anyone tell me about some good web sites on invertebrates other than

I am somewhat new to the newsgroup.  I am looking for advice on a good
skimmer to  get for a 75 gallon tank that will be fish with live rock.  The
local stores try to sell the seaclone, but I get the feeling that it is not
well liked.  Second, how can you measure the performance of ...

Well, as some of you know I recently set up a new 7g nano. It was a
departure from my 36g reef as I decided to use sand instead of crushed coral
for the substrate. Well, a few weeks into this and I've noticed a brown
dusting/growth growing on the sand in certain places. What is it? ...

I bought a small fragment of a Xenia about 5 days ago and it just does not
look very healthy.  My water quality is great and I was cautious to
acclimatize it very slowly.  I only have 200 watts of PC lighting.  All my
other corals are doing great.  The Xenia only extends its arms ...

I have purchased a float switch for my RO output tank.
I need to drill a hole to scew it to the wall...
What is the relationship of the hole hight to the water surface?
I could experiment with it, but I guess you guys have it already

Expecting a frag of Acropora Tortusa; a beautiful deep blue color.
The frag has been grown under 400 Watt Ushios (don't know the color).
