    Fish pricing questions

    Hi, After being out the hobby for 10 years I'm back. I purchased an existing 180 gallon system that is mostly a FOWLR. I will eventually convert to a mixed reef. Three of the fish that came with system will need to go. The Heniochus butterfly is huge, show size?, and I have no idea what a...

    Questions for my first frag swap

    Is it okay if I bag my corals individually and bring color pictures of them in my tank? I don't have a tank to display them and figure they will transport better bagged and in a styrofoam container. Would anyone be interested in electrocuting some majanos and apitasia? I purchased Paul B's...

    Blackworms

    Is there local source for live blackworms? I was reading about them on RC and would like to try them with my Copperband Butterfly. Thanks, Wayne

    air in or air out?

    A new pump and T-5 fixture have my temps a little higher than I would like during the day. I bought a fan to install in the canopy and was wondering if I should blow air in or have it blow air out? The back of the canopy is open if that makes a diffrence. Thanks,

    Here is something I didn't know

    I wanted to make the return line from the sump to the tank as straight as possible so I repositioned the pump and cut the line. Over time algae had grown in the line but I figured it was just surface growth. I was shocked to find about 50% of line blocked with algae. I had some spare tubing so I...

    Return pump

    I have a submersible Quiet One return pump in my sump. The problem is when the power goes out, even for a second, the pump loses suction. I've come home several times to the pump running but no water circulation. Usually after unplugging and plugging back in, it starts pumping again. Is this...

    Is this an usual brain?

    Hi, I picked up this brain a few weeks ago and was wondering how unusual this color is. I've looked around and haven't seen this color combo before. Sorry, the pictures aren't the best. I just have an old point and shoot camera. The edges are green with the center a light blue color...

    My vendor experiences so far

    This site was a huge help when I first got started with locating vendors and exposing me to a variety of stores so after six months I thought I'd chime in. Obviously my opinion so your mileage may vary. Best service and livestock would be Global Leader Aquatics. This is the last store I went to...

    New critter ID

    I need some help ID'ing. We typically check out the tank after lights out each night using an illuminated magnifying glass. Last night we saw several fast swimming rod shaped critters. They were no more than a 1/4 inch or 1 cm, maybe a little thicker than a pencil lead and were solid colors in...
