See if your local glass company can cut you a top. I have had two cut just rectangular for about $8 each. Just a thought.

no they are all open and multiplying like crazy fast. I have three frags going and can not belive how fast they multiply. They look fine, just weird little dots are all over the stems. I think I will get my little girls microscope down and see what they look like up close. They have only been on...

I have some vey tiny white specks showing up on all my zoo colony stems. They are very tiny about the size of a pin dot or soand you can remove them with your fingernail. they don't seem to move they just show up. I noticed them after I added some new shrooms about a month ago. Sorry no pics but...

I had one in an 80 gal and the poor thing just starved to death, litterally. I tried every food imaginable and now should own stock in my LFS. No one bullied he just never would accept food from the day he came in. Online ordered but he was fat and beautifull when he arived like everyone else...

Do a search on preagnant shrimp and you will find no one including myself has ever succesfully raised shrimp in captivity. I have tried two differant times with no success. I think bang guy recomended a book or pamplet on raising shrimp by some lady about two months ago if you do the search you...

try typing in won heater on your browser. This brand was recomended by a moderator to me before.

O- no problem I don't get on the pc for days at a time and I noticed you have kids so fully understand. My brain couldn't take anymore thinking so I went with a off brand power compact 130 watt 2 bulb 1 blue 1 white and a built in moon light and mounting legs for $115.00. The ballasts I were...

thanks for the info, they are not flashing. after watching them closely for the past few days they are spending a lot of time hosting the cup coral. Funny they don't even look at the anemone in the tank. Guess they are just getting stung.

Here is a fuzzy pic of what I am talking about. The dot is between the last two stripes on the lower section of orange and at the base of the front fin. There are many more sprinkled on the fish but I only had one shot on a borrowed digi cam and had to keep trying again and again and...

I think it is the coral stinging them also but the black spots are very dark and pin point looking, not blotchy looking like the pics I have looked at. Can you introduce infections/parasites via live rock or corals? I plan on intoducing many more corals as time goes on and just curious.

I could see my hubby letting me put a dead fish on the wall he has little tolerance for my hobby anyways. I just thought he freaked when we made a toy out of one but to use them as decoration!

I think after everyone making me feel bad for grinding my poor sick fish up in the garbage disposal I will change to the freeze method. I did freeze a rather large goldfish once and just kept going to the freezer and looking at him, even after he was frozen solid. I just couldn't get him off my...

I also had a anthia jump out and was compleatly dried out when I found it, like the poor little fish at a beach souvenir shop. It was still very vividly colored just petrified. My 3 year old addored it for days, playing with it, putting it to bed in a box, prettending it was swimming, you name...

I think you would be fine with one. Mine just don't like to share his rock work with anyone, but he has been in there the longest also and think he owns the tank. Yours would be added last. I wonder if any of the other blennys would do as good of a job with the alage controll. I just think the...

Sly hope everything works out with your tank. We work so hard to do everything right and then stuff like this happens! I am from Rogersville originally just down the road a bit:) I have a 72 bow front also, well mine is a marineland and it says the tank is 80 gal but maybe they are counting the...
