    Free Fish

    Does anyone either know or live in the McKinney TX area. My filter broke and I am umemployed and have no money for a new one or even extra money for the upkeep on the tank. So I would like to give the fish away to a good home if you would want to come and get them. I have 1 blue hippo, 1...

    What's Wrong with my TANG

    Offhand I would say that your tank is too small. I think Tangs need at the very least an 80 gallong tank. It's probably stressed out. For a 35 gallong tank there seems to be quite a few others floating around.

    Koralia

    I have an 80 gallon tank, want to get into reef, currently fish only. Tank has been neglected for the past 2 years, yes just slap me but life got in the way as far as taking care of sick parent and the dying process. Anyway, my fish are suprisingly still kicking but I am in need of some new...

    Live Rock Blasting

    I had a bad alge problem a few years ago and we used a power washer on our live rock and wound up tossing out about 110 lbs of it. I probably would not do it over again, if I had the chance. But the alge was so bad I had no other alternative and yes I scrubed the rock prior to the power...

    Dog Trouble

    We have a 1 year old aussie shepherd/german shepherd mix and he LOVES his walks. The only way we could take him on a walk was to get a harness that goes across his chest then hook him on top of the harness. We tried the NewTrix, Halti and Gentle Leader and he would choke himself. I have spent...

    Emerald Green crap

    That kinda looks like it and probably is cyanoalgae. So in understanding to get rid of it all I would need to do are water changes like once a week? and check for phos. This may be a dumb question, but how are phosphates leeched into the tank if my water I add has zero. I want to be a success...

    Emerald Green crap

    I scrapped the rock about 1 year ago had a major hair algae problem that would not go away and the hubby had the idea of power washing the rock and that did not work. Then I got called out of town to take care of an ill parent and now I am starting basically all over again.

    Emerald Green crap

    Hope, it looks like bright green velour, not hairy or stringy at all. I scooped some out with a net and it balls up. But I need to know what's causing it so hopefully I can stop it. It's almost like you take a highlighter and hightlight the sand.

    Water Temp

    What is the ideal water temp, I have mine at 72. In reading the forum I am freezing my fish.

    Emerald Green crap

    I took a break, not by choice for the aquarium and thought the hubby was taking care of the tank and he was not. Now I am ACTIVELY cleaning it up and getting back on the water change schedules. I had to trash all but about 25 pounds of live rock away. So I have an 80 gallon tank with 25 lbs...

    HELP!! Need algae ID

    A few years ago I had a BIG green alge problem and againg due to lack of funds I am still running the fluval. Should the fluval tanks be cleaned at every water change in order to eliminate the problem. When or if I ever get enough money to buy decent equipment I will then do so at that time...

    What do you do for a living?

    I am the person you hear about when you call a company for assistance, "this call maybe recorded for training purposes". My job is to listen to the calls and make sure the analyst did their job, Phone Police.

    No surprise here ...

    What a jerk, how many home runs would he have gotten if he did not have "extra help" such as steriods??????? Probably quite a few less, so the older records still stand in my opion, because they did not have help they did it the old fashion way with real work and love of the game and not the...

    New dog pics :D

    I would say that your baby has the markings of a Husky, more so than wolf. We have a 4 month old Austrailian Heeler/German Shepherd mix.
