    Netting to cover fish tank?

    I picked upp some fiberglass screen netting and velcro and have fashioned it to the top of my tank. Working out pretty well except that I have to figure out how to make a door opening to feed the fish and how to fashion it around my protein skimmer without it sagging.

    tank is empty except for some live rock. I had a snowflake eel in there, but it didn't make it so I got this new skimmer to help pull out junk. It is only saltwater and rock with probably not much protein to skim.

    New skimmer keeps flipping out!

    I got the new Super Reef Octopus HOB LX-1000s and it is enormous. Anyway I am used to my aquaC remora skimmer so I am having trouble with this one. If I turn it off and turn it back on the bubbles overflow my collection cup and go crazy. Initially I had to block the silencer valve with my finger...

    Living Reefs T-Shirt VOTING!

    I though seahorses lived in different temps than other saltwater fish? I wouldn't want the shirt to be innaccurate or that will just make us look bad

    I forgot that I got my live rock from them. I remember having a conflict and wanting them to deliver my rock on a Saturday and I paid the extra fee. They ended up delivering early on Friday at the post office. I went into a panic that all my LR would die since I couldn't get it until the next...
