Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / August 2004

I have aptasia breeding despite trying to remove them by hand so I bought 2
peppermint shrimp in the hopes of them eating the pests.  No luck yet.  Anyone
got any ideas.  I've read some time ago that folks inject them with a solution.
What do you inject them with?  TIA -M333

Hi all, I finally got around to moving my 75g reef over the weekend from my
home to the office.  I was using a converted wet/dry for the refugium but I
decided to upgrade to a 20gal (long) tank that I had laying around.  Instead
of keeping it underneath in the stand, I decided to ...

All,
I have recently purchased a new marine tank, of 420L. I have been maturing
the tank over the past week with live rock only and within one week the
nitrates have gone up the scale and now have gone down to <0.3 mg/l after

Yesterday I visited a LFS in my area and noticed
a nice sized SPS coral frags for $20 - they were

All,
I have just tonight noticed lots, quite possibly hundreds of very small
white organisms on the glass of the tank. I am struggling to describe them

I do not know how skimate should be measured, but has anyone
summarised whether "weak" skimate produced by pushing more air through

I wanted to use a TUNZE multicontroller but i,ve heard these can only be

I found this this morning in the tank.  It's approx 3 inches long and looks
like a piece of thread.  Please look at the images and tell me what you
think it may be.  I know the tank is looking bad.  I'm working on that.
But everyone in the tanks seems to be prospering, especially ...

I've got a 10gal refugium for my 75g tank. The refugium contains sand, live
rock, and grape caulerpa algae. There is a light on it 24/7.
My question is: does anyone ever prune this stuff? Mine has pretty much
filled the tank and has formed a solid top. Yesterday, I cut away a few

i am a beginner at marine systems and i have a question in regards to the
substrate.

nothing in it to get the filter operating properly etc

Hiya!
I was looking for some input inregards to the Blue Tang (hepatus tang)
I am thinking about adding one to my reef tank.  I used to have a Yellow
tang in the tank that passed away after 5 long years in the tank.  Its a

We're just setting up our new salt water aquarium.  I've been reading
that it's better not to use a glass cover (which came with our tank),
however, I'm afraid that I might have issues with jumping fish,
'fishing cats' and cat hair in general inside the aquarium.  I've been

Do stressed fish and invertabraes ( SP ?  sorry ) run a temperatire or fever
