So I bought a LTA about a week ago and placed it on one of my rocks so it could get its bearings and attach and move where ever it may please. My problem is now that he's moved off of the rocks and onto the sand, he wont plant himself and just rolls around the tank. I have since trapped him in a...

Why is it that only parts of this stuff glows under blacklighting? I was bored so I put my blacklight up against the tank to see what it looked like. The only thing that lit up was parts of the coralline and the nem. Should add this rock is covered in coralline not just whats lit up.

Would it be better to have one or two overflow boxes? Can't really drill the tank so, oi will be using a aux pump to keep siphon in tube. I'll have about 900gph return, can you over do the overflow box size? I wouldn't think so.

I have just about drove myself crazy with this skimmer operation. Were the hell can I see a skimmer working in a tank(clear video) I cant see how they hook up. Also do they need more pumps then what they come with? I just want something cheap right now until I decide it wasent worth the money I...

Everytime I add a fish my Scopas Tang likes to follow it around and act like the king turning black sometimes and other times he just don't care about them. I just added a emporer angel about a 1" or so in lenght and he keeps bothering him, but the angel could care less and keeps doing whatever...
