    How to Ship a LionFish

    You really should take it down to the LFS. They can pack it properly and use one of their boxes (recieving) to send it in. You would be risking killing it if you dont do that one properly.

    Hard Coating on glass???

    There are lots of types of algae that are a nuicance in our tanks. I have to clean my glass everyday. You get more algae depending on how much food (nutrient) you put into the tank also. Maybe try cutting back a little on the feeds or at least making sure that your fish eat everything that...

    Skimming...

    I have read some articles that skimmers can remove some essential elements such as iodine or strontium. That can be replaced. Using an oversized skimmer allows you to overfeed the system which is great for coral growth. Double D's tank of the month on reefcentral explains this further...

    what kinda worms is this

    probably a bristle worm. They are nothing to worry about and will clean up any scraps in your tank. Could also be a fireworm, they are similar to bristles, but they can sting. Nothing to worry about either way

    Lights for 2.5 gallon

    They are little amphipods or isopods.. They are eating the algae off your glass. They live in all tanks and are an important part of the biological filtraltion system that we try to create in marine tanks. When I drained my last tank to move it, the last bit of water was thick with these...

    24g Aquapod

    I use the koralia copy 3000l/hour. I have one on each side at different hieghts and have great water movement. They push a lot of water across a broad area. If you set them up right, you can get some awesome, random movement that your corals will love. Similar to this...

    noob starting a 5 gal nano

    oh, fake corals. That changes things. You can definatley keep NSW for up to a year. You will need to store it is a dark container out of direct sunlight to prevent algal blooms and die offs. To be honest I am not really sure about how to keep fish with mechanical filtration. I only use...
