Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / May 2005

I'd like to install a camera that I can access by remote computer to keep an
eye on my reef while I'm on vacation. I have someone taking car of  it but
I'd like a little extra piece of mind. Any suggestions or where to look?

Does anything reef-safe eat briopsis?

I have a 55 gal. FOWLR, and am looking at building a sump from a 10 gal.
tank I have. This is about as big as will fit under the stand I have. I
plan on using a Mag 7 for a return pump, which at 4' of head is 480 gph.
I would like to have a small refugium built into this, but ...

I am bringing on line a new 75 gal tank. It will start out with
44lbs of live rock
sea clone 100 skimmer
2 96watt retro fit CF lights

I just setup all my plumping for my new 75 gal tank. I used 1" PVC

noticed that the shipping container was quite warm (90 degrees
estimate).  It appears that most of the blue-legged hermits have
survived, but that the majority of snails have not moved after a brief

I've got a big problem. I have 55 gallon tank with a bunch of live
rock, matel haylides, Red Sea skimmer (the big one), powerheads,etc.
The water parameters are fine. I've had this tank for 5 years with no
problems. I've had a Hippo and Powder Tang for about 3 years and they

I've been lurking for a while and I'm impressed with all the know-how,
and willingness to share it, on this board.  You guys are great!
I'd like to impose on you for a little advice of my own.  I've kept a
planted freshwater tanks for three years now, but I'd like to take

I've recently bought about 22 pounds of "fully cured" (about 8-10 years
in well-maintained reef tanks I'm told) live rock from a local
enthusiast who is downsizing. I bought it with the idea of getting a 55g
