    DTV - Tivo or DVR?

    I cannot agree with you more. The only problem is that I have tonnes of stuff in my Tivo just not enough time to watch. (the dreaded Tivo stress). If you love your Tivo (or DVR), may I suggest getting a slingbox for it? If you are a TV and/or a gadget junkie, slingbox is for you. :)

    Clown Hosting Anenome?

    I have had a carpet anemone which hosted two tank raised clowns. It took about two weeks in the beginning but eventually the clowns "found" the anemone.

    Mine is a 72g bowfront with currently mostly softies and planning to keep some SPS in near future. The display tank has an approx 2" dsb as well. (Would like to get rid of it!)

    Fish Feeders

    What is your recommendations on battery operated fish feeders? How reliable are they? My tank has a lid with only a 2" opening on one side. Is it possible to install a feeder on the tank so the feed goes through this opening? TIA.

    Needreefunds' NC 12 DX- 02-2007

    When I go on business travel, sometime have to stay away for a week or two, I put a stand fan by the side of the tank and let it blow on the tank directly. I put it on a timer to run between 12 pm to 7 pm. Not a pretty solution, but you can do it until you find a permanent solution for the...

    general advise

    Since you have a 150 gallon, you should look for a protein skimmer that is rated for 200 or more gallons. I use a ASM G3 which is rated for 250 gallons and am quite happy about the build, quality and ease of use at a price point that I liked. However that is an in-sump model. Do you have a sump...
