First a little background.  I have a 65 g tank (36" L,18" W,24" D).
Currently I have two small hoods.  One houses two 30W normal florescence
bulbs and the other four 36W 50/50 PCs.  Some time ago I acquired a few
corals (green polyps, open brain and a cup coral) and started thinking ...

I have a 215 gal Oceanic and am looking at the Tunze Turbelle products.
Can anyone offer a suggestion as to if the stream kit, with 2 Turbelle
stream 6100 2 * 3175 gal and Multicontroller, would be overkill?
My concern is that with only one pump, controlling  Cyanobacteria will be

Deplorable conditions; sick turtles, snakes and lizards; lack of proper
food, heat and lighting; and overcrowding are just some of the complaints
that have plagued the Long Island Reptile museum since its opening in 1995.

I started an ID page about 6 months ago, to provide some comments about various
creatures I care for.   Today I reached 100 reef-related critters. :D

I have a 180gal FO tank with 150lbs of liverock.  I am looking to begin
adding some corals in the next 3-4 months and am looking to replace the
lighting.  Currently I have a standard glass canopy with 6 30watt strip
lights.  I have read articles stating 2-6 watts per gallon as a ...

Advice wanted on 30 gallon reef set-up. I intend to use DSB and live Rock,
internal skimming.
Any advice appreciated,

I currently have a EV800 by ETSS and I have a EuroReef. CS8-4
I have the EV800 outside, mounted slightly above the sump. I would LIKE to
try using the Euroreef in its place. How can I do this?
I guess I COULD put a 2nd sump outside, that would freely drain back into

Ok, I took the little guy out and put him on a plate with water.  I
think this will be much better.
As you can see he has 7 arms.  Four large and three very short.

Has anyone had trouble registering on reef central? It's been nothing
but a problem for me. The first time I registered I didn't activate
cookies. So I've tried it twice since then with two different e-mails
addresses and they won't send my activation e-mail. I've e-mailed them

I've searched high and low and I cannot seem to find a single 96w 36"
50/50 CSL Smartlight retro kit online anywhere. Even my LFS says they
don't make them, but I thought they do.
I have upgraded my tank from a 25g that had 2x24" 65w PC's (total

This is probably a silly question, but is it possible to create a reef
tank that has that "deep blue ocean" look to it?
What type of lighting would be used, all actinic-03's?
And what type of animals could be kept in such a tank?

About three weeks ago I upgraded from 95 W PC to 400W MH. My Ritteri only
expands to about 1/3 his normal open size and is not eating well. This
started about a week ago. Do you think he's just adjusting to the light or
do I have a bigger problem. Also put in a skimmer about a week ...

I am starting a aquarium maintained service and am trying to figure out how
much to charge.  I have aquarium size as a variable and three types of
aquariums to consider.  Reef tanks ( the most desired it seems and
expensive )  , salt water aquariums and fresh water aquatics.  Any ...
