I got home from work tonight and the wife was doing the bills, she looked up and said
"Are you aware of the fact that you have spent $1,000 setting up this new tank?
Oh and how much did you spend tonight?"
Ahh sh.t. "Yea I kinda figured it was getting up there and I didn't pick up ...

Is there anyone breeding marine fish such as gobies, dottybacks or clowns in
the Seattle or Portland area and would be willing to sell some of their tank
raised young? I will be in that area next month (end of March) on a short
holiday. I'm a breeder and I'm looking for tank raised ...

Any one recommend a good site that I can get good equiptment at a reasonable
price.

Can you mix different Tangs in a tank?  I have a Naso and wish to add a single
Yellow.

Any one using the Radium bulbs have any problems. I have been using one for
30 days with nothing but trouble. When I switch on the ballst, I must
unscrew the bulb slighty to get the thing to fire off. Once it comes on it
works fine.

I have been a little nervous lately. I bought some sand and LR from
Triton Marine (http://www.liverocks.com/aboutus.html), and asked them
in my order form to contact me immediately. I received no call or
email reply, so I called them. I called yesterday and today, but no

What instrument is needed to test the "Light Spectrum" of my lights ?
I have been putting up with a red slime and brown alge and some yellow/green
shaded alge problem for several weeks to a month and more recently green
hair type alge was starting to cover my rocks, I was thinking ...

Friday night I got out of bed, I walked by the fish tank to take a gander,
and I catch the smallest of my 2 anemone's in my tank splitting. I was so
excited I woke the wife and me and her both watched until it was complete
and then looked at each other and said we forgot to get ...

So it happened again, my tank sprung a leak. Luckily I had a 20 gallon set
up just last week to become a fish only tank and it was still empty. I
managed to cram all the live rock, corals, fish and cleaners in there. The
problem is that the tank naturally wasn't cycled yet. I am ...

If homereef@aol.com is still around, this is question is for you or
any one else who cares to give their input...
Was wondering if I can transport/ship fish for about a 3-4 hour period
either by car or air in hyposaline water with no adverse affects?

I was wondering if I should expect any 'bad' things to happen if I upgrade
skimmers.  I have been using a Skilter250 on a small tank (20-25G)
containing mostly cleanup critters, mushrooms, polyps, shrimp, and dusters.
All inhabitants appear healthy.  After 5 years, the Skilter ...

I added a SeaClone 100 two weeks ago. I know, not the most liked skimmer but
it is what I could afford. Anyways, after the break about one week later it
started to stink. Now, unless I wash it out and wipe all the gunk with a
paper towel everyday it stinks up the whole room. This ...

I am a beginner with a new 40g tank and I would like to get some
aquacultured LR. I would like to know where is the best I can find on
the net. My equipment is:
40g 36" long acrylic
