    adding fish from SWF.com

    I know you're supposed to add fish one at a time and slowly, but how do you all add your fish if you want to place an order at SWF.com. The prices are so good that I would have to order several fish to reach the $79 mark for shipping! How do you all deal with this?

    which canister?

    I'm looking at the filstar xp3 and cascade 1500 for my 125. They're the same price and the filstar is rated for 175 gal with 350 gph and the cascade is rated for a 200 gal with 350 gph. I was wondering if anyone has any reveiws of either one and which would be better. Thanks a bunch.

    is jebo safe?

    I'm looking at some jebo powerheads. It says they're UL listed but I don't think I believe that. I've heard of some of their products catching on fire, but just the lights. Has anyone had any other problems with the filters or powerheads? Thanks.

    LR/acces/skimmer wanted, will pay shipping

    I'm looking for accessories for my new 125. I need heaters (2-200w) and powerheads, and I'd be interested in live or base rock if you're near Indiana. I'll drive to neighboring states to pick it up if the price is right. I'm also looking for an AquaC Remora pro hang on skimmer. That's probably...

    rockwork?

    I need to start purchasing rock for my 125 aggressive and I'm having a hard time deciding. I think I'm mostly going to get baserock because I'm not really wanting a lot of rock. I know the fish need hiding places but I want a lot of swimming room? Anyone have rockwork pics or suggestions?

    25-30g w/stand/filter/hood/light $60obo

    I bought a 25-30 gal tank I was going to use for quarantine but I don't need it anymore. It has a heater and whisper filter plus a hood with a strip light. I think the light needs a new bulb. I'm looking to get about $60 out of it but I'll take any reasonable offer. jshideler@alumni.purdue.edu

    flow in 12 gal aquapod

    I was wondering how you all position the returns in your aquapods. I have mine kind of pointed toward the top to stir up the surface of the water but it still seems like my clownfish is getting blown around a lot. And I had to move my mushrooms way over to the opposite side because they weren't...

    help with brittle star

    The guy I sold my tank to is picking it up tomorrow and I'd like to get my brittle star out of the live rock so I can keep it. Does anyone know of a safe way to get it to come out? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Jen

    overkill on cleanup crew?

    I'm transferring most of the stuff from my 55 into my 12 gallon aquapod. I have probably a dozen snails and a dozen hermits, 3 emeralds, and a brittle star. I also have about 10 cleaner clams. I was thinking one or two cleaner clam would be sufficient in the nano. Is this going to be too much...

    help stock my 120

    I'm getting a 120 long, fish only, and need help choosing its inhabitants. I'm listing some fish I like and I want to know which ones you'd recommend and why. I know I can't keep all of these fish and I know some can't be kept together for compatibility reasons, so let me know which ones you...

    1 big filter or 2 smaller ones

    I've decided to go with aquaclear power filters for my 120. Would it be better to buy one very large filter or to get two of the next size down and put them on opposite ends of the tank? Same with the heaters - one or two? Thanks a bunch.

    Rhinecanthus genus triggers

    Which species from this genus is the least aggressive? I really like the look of the humu, but I've heard the other species are less aggressive. I'd like to hear opinions of people with experience keeping them. I'm thinking of Bursa or Asassi but I like the Rectangular too.

    tang about to die?

    I'm still cycling my QT so I can hypo my fish, but I'm really worried about my kole tang. She's covered in ich! I'm not really sure if you can tell from the pics, but I'm afraid she won't make it much longer. Is there anything I can do for her while I'm waiting for the QT to cycle? She's not...
