I don't think the shrimp killed the crab, its more likely he was picking at a dead carcass. I can buy cleaners in my area for as cheap as $15 and if I go to one bad LFS they can go as high as $45. Most stores have them for about $25 but there is one store where they are $15 every day.

Either of those will work with a smaller pump. Are you building s kimmer from scratch or are you attempting to modify an exhisting skimmer? If your modding what model is it that you are trying to rework?

I would say to keep an eye on how the zoo looks, if it seems to be showing signs of regression then move it back up a little and let it reacclimate then begin lowering again at a pace that doesn't cause the coral to show stress. HTH, Skip

You could hook up a turbine generator to that falls and make your own power to support your reefing habit, LOL.

I usually keep them as pairs and they do quite well together. HTH, Skip

Nice, clean looking canopy. I like the moonlight as well. Is there going to be any kind of splash shield between the lights and the water?

I have to agree with everyone, they are one of my favorite fish. The citron gobies get a bit larger than the regular clown gobies but they all have the same character traits and make good nano fish.

A Beckett injector needs alot of flow, I had one hooked up to a Mag 9.5 and it worked fairly. Most people that use Becketts recommend at least a 1200 gph pump in order for them to draw air in properly. I woundn't think that running a pump through anything that would cut back on the flow would...

I have always heard that you just soak their food in the juice from the garlic and then feed as usual. Kent also makes a garlic product but I have always heard that fresh garlic juice works alot better. HTH, Skip

I would contact Icecap with this question but I have only been able to find wiring diagrams for up to 4 bulbs. Their e-mail address is www.icecapinc.com . HTH, Skip

I heard a rumor recently about a new JBJ tank that is supposed to be an improved nanocube but I haven't seen anything on them. Anyone else heard anything similar?

Thats what I was wondering.

JBL or JBJ tanks?

When I read the previous response it made me think about you considering adding another MH, each MH is good to light up a 2 sq. ft. area. If you want more light then you should look at either going with a bulb that has a higher PAR rating than you are currently using or upgrading to bigger...

I wouldn't bother with an underwater speaker or playing loud music, water carries sound alot better than air does. Loud music may make the fish want to move. LOL. Skip

Another thing that can have an effect on the life of a bulb is the ballast, an electronic ballast give off a more steady current and doesn't overdrive the bulb so it will last longer and it will also burn cooler (another thing that helps increase bulb life). Another nice thing about an...

Looks good.

I have seen clowns host in star polyps, xenia, many LPS corals like goniporas and frogspawns. I have a pair of true perculas that love to play in the xenia and They sleep there quite often too. If you are having problems feeding the little guy you may want to try some freeze dried cyclopeeze...

I have heard of doing that but I don't care to put food coloring in my tank. I have done a similar test using a liquid food like Kents Phytoplex or just watching my tank after adding something like cyclopeeze and watching it circulate. I have watched both and they both aided me in finding low...

Without knowing how much room you have available I have a couple of ideas for you to ponder. First would be to make a new sump using a 15 gallon high tank with a baffle on the intake side that would keep the water near the top of the tank, here you could hang a HO skimmer. Another option like...
