    I wish I would have switched to a wavemaker sooner

    For anyone not on the wave maker path, you should be. I kept delaying, thinking what was the point with all the normal power heads (i HAD 7 1200-2000gph) in the tank. I added 2 RW8s to my tank and after fiddling with the timing I have it on a setting that everyone in the tank loves. All of...

    Warning about Seachem Matrix and Return Pumps

    First, let me say I love this stuff, I've been using it for 2 years and only have 200lbs of rocks instead of 300 or 400 that I should have. I went to add more more to my tank yesterday, I put the matrix in an extra overflow area in my sump. Each bucket full is about 100lbs worth of rock (it...

    Lost a fish this morning, not sure why

    My 4" yellow tang, about 3.5 years since I got him was dead on the bottom of the tank this morning. Not sure, but looking for ideas. He seems to have started losing some color, not a lot a few days ago, and was not as aggressive eating as normal. Since he was a bit consumed by the CUC I can't...

    no time to prepare! clownfish laid eggs

    Been crazy busy since I got back from fly fishing in Oregon, just dumping cubes of food in the tank and ignoring it. Today while petting the cat I noticed one of the males guarding a nice size nest of eggs. You can see the eyes, so based on my last experience they will probably hatch tonight...
