We're moving, so are giving away fish to a good home. We've a yellow
tang, a clownfish, blue damsel, also an open brain coral and some
zenias. Send me an email for more details, and to arrange a time for
you to pick up.

I know that the brown algae isn't a bad thing (means the tank is cycling?)
but now that I have fish in the tank how do I keep it under control?

I have finally purchased a second hand tank for my marine aquarium.  I have
got the lights, heaters, testing kits etc.
My query is I also got a Fluval 303 canister filter with the tank.  I
checked with fluval and they say they do a skimmer attachment for this

I was at a major marine LFS today and saw these little nano-reef tanks that
come complete with lights, filtration, etc. This sounds like a fun way to
put a small reef in the bedroom. The couple I saw set up were very
attractive with live sand and rock, a few inverts, some corals, ...

I have 2 blue damsels in my community tank. One is slightly larger than
the other. And, you guessed it, the bigger one picked on the little one
relentlessly for about a year and a half. The poor little guy hid in the
skimmer surface box most of the time with his little face peeking ...

Please excuse my ignorance but what is the purpose of a sump in an aquarium
?  You know that tank bellow the tank.  Is it to facilitate attachment of
multiple devices like protein skimmers UV sterilizers and calcium reactors
Ect. , or what ?  Thanks.

I just did a check on my tank and the ammonia is at 0.04 and the ph 7.8
I currently have:
26 # LR
1 sifter snail

Hi all, I have decided to upgrade my lighting for my 75g reef as I *PLAN* to
have clams and other "high lighting requirement" creatures.
I would have gone MH in the beginning but the cost is what convinced me to
go with PCs.

Bulkheads- what is the difference between standard threaded and double
threaded? Which one do I want on my main overflow drain?
Ball valves- I plan to use several of these where ever I think I might
possibly need them (fear of flooding)- what is the difference between

I'm thinking of getting one of those cute little 12 gallon tanks as a
way of easing into the hobby. I still don't think I have enough
knowledge to tackle what I want (100 gal or so, corals, fish, refugium,
skimmer, etc. etc.), what with the initial and livestock investment.

How harmful is a sallylightfoot crab ?  I am wondering if one will prey on
my snails and crabs.
Has anyone had any experience with them ?
Thanks,

hi jeff

thanks

Help, first time I have found this newsgroup. I am *TRYING* unsuccessfully
to set up a Trigon 350 tank for Marine. Despite everything I try, I cannot
get the water to a high enough oxygenation level. My dealer now says Trigons
are not designed fro Marine? Anyone offer and advice - ...

Anybody knows how does the SCWD device work?
What is inside of it? Just curious... :-))
