Ok, so how much rock would you suggest? Like 10-15lbs? As for the sump, I didn't really plan on one mostly because I wouldn't know how to drill a tank. There is a whole set-up at a lfs, same tank (which I am really liking the size and shape) with the sump drilled and plumbed (so I wouldn't have...

Thanks for the reply and the opinions Flower. I had my first saltwater tank in high school, it was a 12g nanocube that I had nothing but problems with (I want to say 3 pumps and 2 heater malfunctions over a year), and I learned from my mistakes and decided my wallet and I weren't actually ready...

After 10yrs I am getting back into the saltwater game, and now that I am no longer on a high school/minimum wage budget I am expecting things to go much better this time around. So: after getting caught up on all the changes to the hobby, scouting the lfs scene, and figuring what my budget will...

does it really have the moonlights with it the add thing doesn't mention them

has anyone read the Davinci Code, it talks about Jesus' b-day and why its celebrated in dec., In the book it says the catholics said jesus' bday was in dec to match up with one of the pagan holidays and changed sabath from saturday to sunday (pagans were worshipers of the sun and nature hint...

no pics sorry but it looked a lot like the pencil urchin but one side was flat with soft tenticals moving all abouts (is that how they are when feeding), when i turned the light on he started gliding across the rock to a hiding spot to the side away from the light. the next morning i looked for...

a few days ago i got my long awaited clownfish (the reason i started my tank), during acclimation i turned the lights off blah blah blah then i scooped him out and put him in. before i went to bed i turned the light on so i wouldn't forget in the morning, and what do i see on my rock but what...

i was looking through filters at lfs and the Berlin Air-Lift 60 Internal Protein Skimmer looked like something that could possibly work in the back of my 12g nanocube. Can it? Will part of the lid need to be removed or can the water level be above the line on the skimmer?

cool my dad lives in holland so its right there close

i believe the 96 (quad?) is to long to fit in the hood but that would be great if you (or anyone else) found a way to make it work.

i looked for a few minutes and couldn't see him but i was on my way out when i noticed so i didn't have much time.

thats what i thought but the shell that the hermit had a hold of still had the red lines and stuff so i wasn't sure if it was the shrimp or the shell

cappy29gal : where at in michigan

i noticed my hermits on what looked to be my peppermint shrimp so i believe my peppermint shrimp molted within the last couple of days but i was wondering if the empty shell would still have color (like the red pattern on the body, and legs) or if my shrimp wasn't hidden well enough afterwards...
