    Any Ideas?

    I was in one of the LFS the other day, saw this and thought it looked cool, but I have no idea what it is. Could anyone give me a clue? Sorry for the bad cell phone picture.

    RODI Waste

    I was looking at my RODI filter the other day and was wondering if the waste water was clean enough to use for my freshwater tank. Any thoughts? It has to be cleaner than what comes out of the faucet.

    New Fish

    I'm thinking about adding a Geometric Pygmy Hawkfish to my reef tank. Would anyone know if it would be safe with my other fish (Green spot mandarin and Solorensis wrasse)? Also have a cleaner shrimp in there as well as other snails and crabs. TIA

    Finally!

    After my last tank broke causing my RBTA to split in the move to a new tank. One half, Waldo, was doing fantastic, but the other, Waldet, wasn't. It seems like forever, but she has finally come around. She was looking so pitiful, the two weeks ago I started feeding small bits every other day...

    Return Pump

    I've recently been wondering if I had enough flow from my return pump. Tank is a 37g cube with a Rio 8HF. I was in a hurry when I bought the pump and I thought 8 would be 800 gph, but I just looked at the specs and its rated at 550gph (270 @ 4'). The return comes out into my tank at about 4.5'...

    Cutting Acrylic

    I found out this past weekend, when making a top for my HOB overflow, that a diamond blade on a tile saw is a great way to cut acrylic. The edges came out fantastic!

    Should I be concerned by this?

    I came home today to find my RBTA like this. Is it a response from the stress of the weekend move, or a good thing?

    First SPS

    I traded a 70w JBJ K2 Viper today for some SPS corals. The guy gave me a 3-4" piece of green orange birdsnest, green birdsnest, birds of paradise, and an orange digitata. I thought it was a pretty good deal, but is there anything I need to look out for since these are my first SPS?

    Clowns & Anemone

    I have two black & white percula clowns. I bought them a juveniles, so they were about the same size and they always hung out together. Now that one has found my RBTA, she (I say she because one has gotten a little bigger than the other) defends it and won't let the other one near it. Is this...

    Clowns and BTA

    What is the likelihood that a clown would chase another clown out of an anemone? My female, Maude, loves my RBTA (like a cat with catnip), but seems to keep my male, Harold, away! Is this normal? TIA (anyone get the movie reference here?)

    Lights on Lights off

    This may seem like a stupid question, but when people talk about how long their lights are on (or how long they should be on) are they meaning the main light(s), or does that include actinics as well?

    Hurray!

    I had to rescue a RBTA the other week and I think he's finally settled in. We had named him "Waldo" because everyday we'd come home from work he had moved, so the SWMBO & I would say "where did he go?" (where's waldo?). He has finally gotten settled in a spot, so I thought I'd give him a good...

    So I have this coral beauty.... I know to leave out algae for her, but every time I clip a peice of nori in the tank it seems like the turbo snail eats the lion's share. Is this ok?
