I've had a tuxedo urchin in my tank for a few weeks now and it seems to be slowly deteriorating. He hasn't been moving around much lately. Water quality is perfect (0 nitrate, 0 phosphate), and I do have some hair algae. I tried to feed him an algae sheet and he decided to wear it instead of eat...

Can someone explain to me everything the radion can do wirelessly with vortech pumps. I know you can get them in feed mode from the light, but For some reason I thought the vortechs react to storm mode but can't find any evidence about that. I also read something saying the radion puts the pumps...

I had always though that my lights where a bit on the white side... I have a radion in my house since it'll be going on my grandfather's cube, which has been running on the eel tank for the last couple days. They seemed REALLY nice and blue. Today I tested the unit over my reef, and too my great...

I asked my LFS to order a foxface, so I waited for them get their shipment of fish... And they didn't get the foxface. >.< It'll probably be another week or two before they get another shipment in, and I've been having some trouble with my fish lately, so now I'm back down to three, so I'm...

How hard is it to get firefish to pair up? Can you just get two and they'll start going around together? And do they do better in numbers than alone?

I had heard something about the vortech mp20, which I hadn't really heard of before. Ikr, a piece of saltwater equipment I hadn't heard of???? :shock::shock::shock: Anyway, I did some research and found it's larger than the mp10, but is discontinued. That sucks caus eventually I want to...

First the lawnmower blenny: The last couple days my lawnmower blenny hasn't been quit as active. He's usually going around picking at the rocks, but he's been pretty much staying in one spot. I don't have him on any prepared foods yet (working on it), but the tank isn't completely algae ridden...

So, like I mentioned my build thread, I got three chromises last Friday. They were fine that evening and alright the next day, except that one was hiding more than the others. But Yesterday they went MISSING. I searched EVERYWHERE. People on my build thread told me not to worry, but I can't help...

So far I like my lights a lot... They seem to grow corals well and I've hardly had any algae growth. But... I'd like it if it were a little more on the blue side. Would a 48" magenta/453nm blue stunner make a big difference?

First off, how bad is Glass Cages?? Really? Caus I'm really close to convincing my grandfather to get an epic tank, :roll: and I think he should get a rimless 2' cube (so he only needs one radion :mrgreen::mrgreen:), and glasscages is the only place I could find that makes them. Since aqueon...

So I got this bubble tip anemone less than a week ago, and he's deflated every morning when the lights come on, and comes back to normal by then end of the day. He emits some kind of brown stuff, so I'm thinking he's pooping, but every day??? I'm getting kinda worried... Nitrates are 1 ppm at...

A few days ago one of my acans had its tentacles extend more than I had ever seen, so I gave it a fairly large piece of shrimp which was bigger than I though, so the coral didn't end up eating it all. But anyway, for the last two days its been super closed, but I wasn't terribly worried, since...

I was wondering what everyone feeds their zoanthids, LPS, and SPS corals... Feeding may not be necessary but I need to get these things growing... I've been feeding my acans and candy cane chopped shrimp every other night lately, and they grab it and eat it. But I don't think this would work...

I like how clams look on the sand, and most of the ones I have seen were on the sand... But liveaquaria says they need high lighting. My question is, can I keep a maxima clam on the bottom of my 20" tank under 198 watts of 3 watt crees?

I was feeding my acans and my new candy cane last night when the moonlights were on caus there tentacles were out. I gave them each a very small piece of shrimp and they grabbed it and slowly gobbled it up. But... My two favias weren't open and wouldn't take any food. In fact I've never seen...

So... I was just checking all my different levels and found that the magnesium is higher than 1600 ppm. Is that, bad?? And why would it be so high? I also noticed that the KH is a little high (200 ppm). P.H. is about 8.3-8.4 and calcium is kinda low at 400 ppm.

I just wanted to let you guys know that Saltcritters is offering free shipping on orders over $100 till the end of the year. :bounce: SaltCritters Live Coral and More. Are You Salty? I better have my lights by then. :pissed:

I was looking around for a reactor for my new tank and came across this, which has very good reviews and isn't too expensive. Due to the tank being right next to my bed I don't really want to use a maxi-jet pump. (I have one on my other tank and it's quite loud.) I've heard Eheim pumps are...

As of now I don't really have a camera, so I was considering asking for one for Christmas. (There's no point in having a beautiful tank if you don't have a nice camera to share it with! ;)) But anyway I came across this. It seems like a real nice camera and wondered if anyone has used it. :D

so I was wondering how exactly people do their water changes. I don't have much rock in my 110 so I can bring the water level down pretty low. But in my 75 there's rock all the way to the top even when the tank is full. How would I do a water change without exposing the rocks and corals to the air?
