Does rf shut down on Sunday nights or some such? The site just
disappeared while I was posting.

I captured a photo of the most strange and fascinating myserty creature
emitting a constant plume into the tank.  The trail of smoke appears
transparent, and flowing in vortices similar to what you would see in a wind
tunnel.  It continued ejecting this material for hours, ...

Hi, I just got a new metal stand and the top looks like it is bowed
down in the middle.  Should I straighten it?  I am going to add leg
adjusters on the for corners.  My last tank blew a seal on the back
middle, it split the silicone right in half, I'm not sure if this was

Fish need a bigger home

Can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of kalkwasser,
two-part additives, and calcium reactors? It seems like each is used to

I just aquired a 4-65 actinic\10,000k Coralife light unit, nice
looking unit. It has 2 fans that come on when the 10,000 is on, but I
note there are 2 more 'holes' on the other end. If I were to get a
couple fans could they be mounted in there? I haven't opened the

Tired of suction caps coming off the glass and wearing out I wedged a length
of 25mm PVC utility conduit between the bottom of my tank and the underside
of the cover supports. Secure the powerhead/skimmer/heater to the conduit
with plastic/nylon cable ties and the problem is solved.

A few years ago I had a terrible Ich outbreak and haven't had a problem

We have a 150 gallon marine reef aquarium established about three
years ago.  We have a 4 to 6 inch sand bed and about 200 lb live rock.
Thriving within are numerous corals, critters and fish.
We're moving across town in a couple weeks and need advice about the
