Those of you who have an ASM skimmer...have you modified it so the
collection cup drains into some other container, or did you leave it alone
and empty the cup manually?

i wanted to know if anyone had any ideas ( major cons) for putting a
20g. saltwater tank in my office in the house where my wife and i
smoke. i can imagine it isnt good for the water quality but any
comments would be appreciated. Mirek

Do you have to have anemones for a sexy shrimp to be happy? I don't
have any corals/anemones in my 30G tank, but was looking into sexy
shrimp. If they "must" have one then I would pass for now. Thanks so
much!

I've got a queen conch. Back when I bought it, I had an algae problem. I don't
have algae anymore.
I feed my fish a mix of things that includes clam and kelp. Is this sufficient
for the conch, or do I need to be laying down soemthing else for it?

I live in a country town in Western Australia.  My goal is to have a reef
tank and I thought I would research the subject as much as possible for a
couple of years before fulfilling my dream.  But ...

Suppose I need to further south to get my water. Now I understand why
they test the water at the beach daily. :)

I apologize for posting this here, as it isn't reef related. Can anyone give
me an online or mail-order resource for ordering a replacement glass canopy
for a 90 gal Oceanic tank? I have searched to no avail. The LFS wants me to
wait 6-8 weeks. I will if I must, but....

I just bought a 60 gallon tank, the whole set up, and I am planning on
buying a few sea horses, from what I have read from oceanrider.com, the
tank bred sea horses will easily feed off frozen shrimp, is 60 gallons
to large for only 4 or so mustang seahorses? can I combine different

I have added a green trigger fish to my community tank(niger species) and it
is excellent. It hides in the rocks, either sideways, or partly upside down
and sideways, wedged in there, and it is like it's painted onto the ceiling.
Then when it gets hungry, it comes out and swims ...

Can anyone tell me if there are any anemones that will do well in an 80
gallon tank w/260 watts of light? Power compacts, 50/50 bulbs. Or is this
simply not enough light?

I have a Quietflow 600 hang on overflow box... supposedly it should take
care of 600GPh.   Also I have pump that is pumping from sump to the tank, it
is Dolphin DP 560.  With 2' head loss the chart says it would output 460GPH.
So far so good, but the overflow doesn't seem to take ...
