    Velvet help - Please read

    Even though the reply is late, I will reply anyway in case anyone might be in the same situation. Velvet sucks and is an absolute pain to treat since your fish are probably way to far gone by the time you have noticed. I recently lost a bunch of fish that I loved to what I believe is velvet. If...

    Anemone problem!!

    What kind of nem? I have a magnificent that as soon as I turn off the crazy flow it seems to like it starts to puff up its foot and walk off. its just a matter of just gently pulling it off then. Sometimes indirect ice or a gently credit card works too on other nems.

    It still looks OK from the pic. Does it smell yet? If it still smells like an anemone then there might be hope.

    Super glue?

    I use Bob Smith Industries Insta-cure gap filling. Get the 8oz size for $20 and should last forever. Pretty economical.

    clownfish question

    I'm going to have to agree with this one. The quirkiness of the clowns is best appreciated in a nice pair. Less is more. But if I was to add a bunch. they would be of the same type like they sometimes group in the wild in a large anemone.

    It's got the yellow eyes and the greenish body so it does look to probably be a Miami Hurricane.

    Good silent return pump

    I just ripped out a Sicce Syncra 3.0. That thing was freight train loud. Put in a Reef Octopus Varios 4 DC pump and can't even tell it's running. Ebay has some Deepwater Aquatics DC pumps that are well reviewed and aren't crazy expensive.

    Chiller or home A/C????

    I had a chiller and sold it. I keep the home A/C on at 79-80. Tank runs at 79. Humans and fish are both happy.

    Quiet air pumps

    I have the whisper 150 and I can barely tell if it's running, especially in the stand. My last air pump was like flying in a prop plane.

    Setting temperature of chiller and heater

    My tank has a 3 degree fluctuation throughout the day with 77 on the low end and 80 on the high end peaking during the afternoon. Upon much research, many of the aquarists I respect have the opinion that some fluctuations is healthy for corals and will allow them to better survive changes as...

    Got a new tank I need to Polish it.

    Scratches on the outside are going to be tough. On the inside when the water fills up it will take care of any haze. On the outside you are going to have to do an artists job to make it tolerable. Use progressively finer polishing compounds if you must and the scratches aren't too deep. But...

    What did you do to your tank today?

    Just fed the fish and walked away. If I stare too long I get the uncontrollable desire to redo my aquascape. Yes, my fish hate me.

    Any idea what this is?

    I've got a bunch of these in my tank. I love these guys. They reproduce fast and are surprisingly quick when they kick in the turbo.
