I've ordered snails and crabs from several ebayers, try to avoid anyone from Florida, the 2 shippmnets that I've gotten came with ick, but anyone from the north east or even the west coast have been great to me. And as you know you can't treat inverts with copper. Eric

You'll want to get rid of that arrow crab, he will malt and get bigger and bigger, and than he well pick at your fish and also will eat your snails. Eric

The best chillers on the market are Pacific Coast Imports, I've read several articles that state the same, I've had mine for 2 years now with no problems, I just set the biult in controller, more other brand you have to have a seperate control, so I just set the temperature and leave it, I flush it every 6 to 9 months, and it keeps my tank with in 1 degree of the set temperature 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also, very important, I run 3-400w MH and when I added the chiller I only noticed a $3.72 a month increase in my electric bill. You can goto www.pacificcoastimports.com for complete information.

How about us guys with 400watt? Eric

$25

I have a top pathom TF200A with a almost new mag 5 pump (1 month old) that I trying to sell, I up graded to a bigger skimmer because I added a 90 gal sump to my 240. The skimmer has worked great for me for 2 1/2 years. I know everyone has their opinions on skimmers, but I know alot of people running these skimmer and pump setup with great success. I looking to get $175 or BO. You can goto there website for specs on the skimmer. Eric

The only problem you might have is that Flame Angel are very aggressive towards other dwarf angel. I currently have a flame, coral beauty, lemon peel,, and half black, but I added the flame last because of prier experience. Eric

Come on guys John said $5 not $25 increments.

I've used Phosban Pro before with not affect to my corals or inverts. It does cloud up your tank for a couple hours, but you will have a 0 reading in 24 hours. Eric

yes, system info, matter of fact everything about your system please. Eric

I perfer glass, less chance to scratch, also I run a Deltec skimmer, 2 canister filters before my chiller, uv light, and a kalk stirrer on my 240 gal with a 90 gal sump/refugium. Eric

Sorry it is KM500. Eric

You gotta put a top on it, that is the only way to keep jumpers in. I run MH too and have a glass cover and it really doesn't affect the light, yes I do have to clean them, but that take no time. Eric

You need 2 fans, one in on one side and on out on the other side. I use 4 fans in my canopy 2 in and 2 out and it works for me. Eric

I run a deltec turbo 1060S and deltec ks500 kalk stirrer on my 240gal with a 90 gal sump/refugium. Eric

Thats amazing that someone would do that, but there are people out there like that. Eric

My CB was the same way until I got a Flame angel which now after about two week of being bullied, they now swim together. I also run about a 6 inch sand bed with 2 mag 12 returns, mag 24 return from chiller, and 2 seio m1500 in my 240 and I don't get a sand storm. If you plan on getting fish like watchman gobies you will need a good sand bed so they can build their home in it. You can look in the galley for pics of my goby. Eric Deepblue
