I'll chime it, the corals are nice and it's a nice way to get your tank started.

However, if you don't live nearby it's much more expensive than you might guess. (I realize you live nearby, this...

My LFS also does maintenance for local businesses and...

You have it. Boil a cup of water, take a turkey baster full and shoot it on the sucker.

He should shrivel up and never return. Do it quickly before he spreads.

Another thing to consider is the height of your return. My overflow stops putting water in the sump but my return keeps going.

It's hard to put the return too close to the surface because it will...

Yeah, I'm using a plastic tie wrap to hold it on the rock. It seems to be mounted on there nicely (although it took a couple of tries). I like to pick a rock with a little bit of a "U" in it, then...

Arrow Rock with aiptasia, advice needed

Today I bought a long spined urchin. Rather than remove it from the 3" rock it was on they just gave it to me. I told them I didn't want it because it had aiptasia on it.

However, while watching...

My mag 9.5 came with a big foam sponge that goes on the intake. I read that you shouldn't use it because it can be a "nitrate factory".

I cut it to size so it became the perfect pump holder.
