Ill be leaving this thursday for four nights to New York (gonna see the soccer game of AC Milan vs. Juventus very excited:D ) and Im leaving thursday real early but when I return in Monday Ill be able to feed them, is this too risky or is it alright? Or should I look for someone to feed them?

Searays are good but if you are looking for a boat that can last a grady-white or boston whaler or mako are less expensive and they are extremely good, and if you are looking for bigger boats then viking or beltran, also very expensive but it really is worth it if you are going into boats.

Originally posted by Lesleybird Wait, did I miss something? I live in Houston and if I did not keep the tank in a room with AC the tank would fry at 100 degrees plus??Lesley I wanted to say that when I started at this hobby outside temperature was about 90-100, and in the night when the AC...

DO NOT keep your tank in an AC room if you live in warm tropical weather(change of temp.)

wasnt this in like the 4 of july thread or something similar to it?

Originally posted by Kipass4130 be careful with anemones... they can be tough IMHO dont get anemones, they are cool and can be fun or whatever but not only can they be tough but at the beginning they like to move around and can take up a lot of space especially in a 30 gal, and if an anemone...

you really dont need it, especially in a reef the uv kills a lot of bacteria that is useful for a reef, I would only reccomend to use one if you are keeping very delicate fish likes rays, sharks and others.

You can buy LR and LS from an lfs(local fish store) or from the internet such as this site and others. It doesnt mean that the live rock and live sand are living, is that it brings lots of tiny critters that help get your cycle moving in order for it to be a real saltwater tank, I also have a 55...

reading books and doing searches is what really helped me get this hobby started, before you buy anything make sure you know what you are doing. Also dont buy damsels, they can get very territorial and if you put another fish in your tank it will most likely attack it. Also, this is an expensive...

Woke up this morning and it smelled like something was burning only to find out that my impeller is damaged and had to replace it, just wondering how often you clean it, and for those of you who dont, I suggest you do.

I have had my tank for a year, at first I had ich with all the temp. swings and most of them died, then I had it stable but at high temp, and stil had ich, and then I got a chiller, havent had one dead fish since I have had my chiller and has been a great investment.:)

If it says dont mix, then you know that it isnt good, so I suggest to make an about 25-30% water change.

went to lfs and was gonna buy a firefish and when I was about to say that I was gonna buy it, the fish jumped out of the tank and right into the floor in front of me, so then I decided to buy a flame angel, the thing is when I got to my house and layed it on my chair, it fell down to the floor...
