Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / November 2003

I've come across a few articles on people using red mangroves in their
refugiums, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them,
opinions on using them or anything else that applies.

That is, if you have any allergies, you can tell if the live rock and
sand are making the water increasingly biologically lively.  I was
delighted for about one month to believe that somehow the saltiness of
the tank's water rendered it innocuous to me.  After two months I began

just one week ago I introduced live rocks to my new aquarium. After first
day I found first crab, later on second one and lately I found the fourth
(three of them are small, one quite big, they are staying nearby their
holes eating something from the rocks). How many of them I will ...

Ive just added a pair of maroon clowns (both approx 1 to 1.5 inches
long) and a fairly big (10inch) heteractis crispa to my 125 gallon
tank.
Ive read about getting the clowns young so they pair up and was told

I will soon be buying cleaning critters for a new 75 gallon fish/reef tank.  
When I look at the cleaning crew packages at various websites, they all
seem to recommend what looks like a huge number of snails/hermits -
typically recommending 1 crab/snail per 1 or 2 gallons, but ...

I recently upgraded from three 175W MH's to three 250W MH's.  The higher
wattage bulbs increased the temp. (peak temp is 9 degree's above room temp
=> 85 degree water temp).  I knew this would happen so at the same time I
purchased the new lights, I purchased a 3rd IceCap fan to ...

The other day I bought some Salt from a hardware store with said it was for
a salt water pool, I was interested in seeing how the water quality was
after mixing it with tap water, so I bought a bag (it was very cheap) and
mixed it with water directly from the tap into a spare 4 foot ...

If I have an experimental tank with photosynthesizing animals and m-algae only
and I do not care how does it look like to the human eye - can I use actinic only
powercompacts? I have checked-up customSeaLife website and they describe their
Ultra-Actinic - as for "activation of ...

I think I'm missing most of the fun in my tank.  This morning I found
that the anemone moved clear across the bottom of the tank.  The
collection of empty shells in the dip in the middle were all exchanged
and there are entirely different ones, sure evidence of the hermits

I posted a while back explaining how we had placed a PVC conduit system
beneath and behind the LR, and placed a rio 2100 feeding water through the
conduit system thus sending water flow through the LR from the inside out.
The PVC system runs down the middle of the tank and covers an ...

i will be starting a chilled aquaria here in San Francisco California,
cooling the water down to 55-60F to keep local invertebrate species.  can
you all suggest any web pages or usenet groups that focus on such systems?
also, do general water chemistry tests such as nitrate, work at ...
