Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / March 2005

I'm replacing my Seaclone 100 and have decided on either the CPR BakPak 2R

I don't want to get an urchin and my tank isn't big enough for a Nana Tang.

Anyone ever hear of this company.  They make a protein skimmer called an
ASU, but I can't find any information about it anywhere.

This group seems to be dying...
Anyone get any new fish?
Anyone get any nice new corals?

Hi, I am doing research at my university and was wondering if anyone
knew where I could find a very large acropora specimen in which I could
frag 50-70, 1.0-2.0 inch pieces? I have contacted many companies little

I'm looking at buying a new tank (90G acrylic), and I was wondering if
people had strong feelings on acrylic vs glass?  I've only ever owned glass,
but an opportunity that may be too good to pass up has come around and I was
thinking of going acrylic.  Can you clean coralline off of ...

At risk of being bashed again at my ignorance, I have yet another
question.  I have a fresh water tank and have a deluxe style water test
kit for it.  Since I've had it for quite a while the main pamphlet of
directions is long gone.  I was just wondering if the fresh water test

I have a 120 gallon tank (48 x 24 x24)  that I am planning on upgrading the
lighting from PC (4x96) to some type of metal halide.  I want to add SPS to
the mix and feel the upgraded lighting is necessary.
That being said, I am looking for some advice on what type of halide

I checked Google and didn't see anything definitive on this, though I did see
one suggestion about mounting an air pump in an insulated shoe box that sounds

Recently I've done some furniture rearrangements in my room and I now have
much more room for a larger aquarium. I have kept freshwater fish for about
5 years now and I have decided that I would like to give marine a try. I
have made a trip to my local aquarium store and found an ...

I am a newbie and have just recently set up my first saltware aquarium.
I live in South Florida.  I am using a Coralife Aqualight for
lighting.  The problem that I am having is how to keep the tank cool.
The temp is usually running between 76 to 78.  Ideally I want it a
