How long can a harlequin go between starfish? Mine finished one last week. Don't know when to add another. Thanks!!!!

I'm in need of some opinions. I have an outbreak of these stars. Have been trying for months to rid my tank of them, but they stay in the rock work and make it almost impossible to manually remove. My local fish store has a harlequin shrimp for sale for 70.00, but then I'm tied to feeding it...

Any way to kill these star without using the Harlequin Shrimp? Looking for something possibly to add that won't hurt my reef. Have a cleaner shrimp, some snails, and a few hermits. Tried a Harlequin Shrimp, by my melanarus wrasse had a very expensive meal. Love the wrasse and don't want to try...

Hello. Have some 1st Gen Hydra's I got used. Looking for good daytime and night time settings. Afraid of upping the lights too quick and hurting my coral, but don't want to keep it too low either for the same reason. Have a 75 gallon. Suspended approximately 12" above water line. Glass top...

Have some older model AI Hydras I set up. Trying to find the right light percentages for day and night. Using it to grow soft coral currently, but hoping to add SPS in the near future. Thanks. Don't have a PAR meter.

Have some old AI Hyrdas I'm putting over my tank and getting rid of the black box lights. Any suggestions for settings on the lights not to shock my current coral? Thanks!!

I have 2 RBTs attached to a rock that's covered with coral. They are on complete opposite sides of the rock. Need to get one off...selling him. Tried air tube with aggressive air, tried ice, tried powerhead for 24 hrs, tried hanging the rock, but can't do that long enough, because I'm worried...

I am in the need for two shop lights measuring 3'x 10". Looking to take out the guts, so I can install some T5 bulbs in the housing. Cannot find any at Home Depot, Ace, or Lowe's. Anyone have any ideas?

Looking to figure out how to operate these. Contacted AI. They have sent some videos, but I have more specific questions. Thanks!!!

So I thought I understood lighting to some extent, but now I need some more info. Is there a difference between T5 and metal halide? I’m looking to add some tube lighting to my tank...maybe. Also curious if this is a good idea as I read this type of light is phasing out. Want to do it so I can...

So I just got a used pair of Hydra 1st Gen lights with controller, but no director. They are older LED’s. Looking to maybe use them and combine them with some T5’s on my 75 gallon. Looking to see what other people do. Might sell them and then try to get a set up for roughly $500.00. Don’t...

Could someone please help identify this light. I know it’s an older Hydra. Looking for the model number. Can’t seem to find it.

So I had 4 wrasse in my 75. A fairy, 1 male flasher, 1 female flasher, and 1 Lubbock The flashers didn’t take to the fairy or the Lubbock very well and would chase and nip them frequently. They both passed last week and I believe it as because they were harassed. This week, I discovered the male...

Thinking about adding a juvenile red coris wrasse to my mixed reef tank. Any thoughts? I have a red cleaner shrimp that's full grown...little afraid he may perish.

Have the day off tomorrow. Thought I'd take my kids out to buy some fish. What's the largest aquarium shop in the Chicago Land area? I'm in south burbs, but willing to travel a bit. Looking for large selection of fish and coral. Thanks!

I have the opportunity to buy either two used Kessil 360wE’s or Two Hydra 52S. Which are the better lights for a mixed reef tank? Thanks!

I have the opportunity to buy either some used Kessil 360wE’s or Hydra 52S. Which is the better light? They are roughly the same price.

Hello. I made a mandarin feeding station using pantyhose as a net to catch pods. Feel like the pods escaped too quickly. Was thinking about using micron netting. Have used 50 micron to catch pods before, but afraid it’s too small for them to escape slowly. Anyone ever use micron netting to keep...

So I jumped the gun a bit I think. I bought a Mandarin with very little pods in my established tank (75 gallon). I added two bottles of pods two days ago when I added the Mandarin. I'm planning on continuing to add pods to my fuge..1-2 bottles/ week for a month until I get a good population...

How do you make a mandarin feeding station that houses pods? I’ve seen it done with brine, but is it possible to do it with tiggerpods? Thanks
