    My Tank

    I agree, The Marine Center is not telling you the truth about most of their items. They list a Tess Eel as min 55 gal. This eel gets up to 5 ft in length. Prices are also toward the high side. My suggestion, go to a lot of other online shops, including of course SWF.com. You can do a lot...

    How long does it take for you to clean your tank?

    I have a 120 and a 240, it really doesn't take that much more time to clean the 240 than the 120. 2-3 hours depending on the filters need good cleaning or if the rock work needs to be stirred up. I mix my own water and have left over salt buckets that I use. 6 buckets for the 120 and all 10...

    Two species of clowns in 140??

    1 maroon might be ok, but 3 would be pushing it only because the maroon are aggressive. They will attack each other. I have a B&W perc and a true perc sharing space in a 120 with a maroon, the maroon is about to be moved to my aggressive tank. He is still a little small compared to others but...

    ODYSSEA 48" 260W Aquarium Power Compact Light+ Lunar

    I have the Jebo 48 in, same thing happened with my fan, I just unplugged the wires and put up a 4 in fan at one end of the light blowing toward the other. That was annoying though, the fan starting stopping by itself.

    Paint In-between Frame and Glass

    the sticky ones can still let salt water in between the background and the glass, and of course with salt water once dried you end up with salt creep on the back of your tank.

    In wall tanks, just a comment

    I really don't like in wall tanks. I enjoy being able to go look at a tank at different angles. Sure the in wall saves space and hides the ugly stuff. But I would rather be able to stare my angels down as they swim toward me from the side or look toward the backside where my trigger likes to...

    Returning Dead fish to swf.com

    just to put my 2 cents in, I have had a good experience with a dead fish at swf. A few orders with them and only one dead, except inverts. Can't remember how many crabs and snails. But I ordered so many hard to complain.

    FS, 240gal in Eastern Iowa

    I checked out prices of new, this is very comparible considering you are receiving tank, stand, canopy and lights. True I found a acrylic for $1400, but then that co. wanted $1900 for stand and canopy, not including shipping. I found a used one in chicago going for $1200, but it looks like...

    sand ? for FOWLR tank

    I use an extremely fine sand. It does cause problems with filters and jets but is looks so much better. Also if you think you might ever go with a ray or shark it is necessary.

    Green Chromis vs Anthias

    3-5 anthias as long as one male the rest female, but you will need more chromis, they don't do well in groups less than 6. And my lyretail anthia doesn't get fed but 2-3 times a day and he is doing great, I love the lyretail.
