    What to buy...370z or RX-8

    Can you drop the extra cash on the Infinity G37 coupe or a used Infinity G35 coupe? They are mechanically the same car as the 370z/350z, just the infinitys have a back seat. I have a friend who bought a used Infinity G35 coupe and absolutly loves it. It would cost you more, but you would be...

    Moving 100 gallon FOWLR and sand

    Humm... 2 inches of sand is not a deep sand bed, so i think you will be ok with using the same sand and rock. I assume that you are going to be moving the minimum amount of water and mixing more when you get to your destination? if this is the case, when you get to your new house just keep...

    Help with first saltwater aquarium?

    First off, how do you plan on running your set up? are you going to set up a sump below your tank? Are you going to use all hob (hang on back) equipment? I suggest using some live rock in your tank, the Moray eel is an ambush predator who's natural habitat is within the cracks and crevices of...

    Relocating Aquarium

    The bags might be better if you move your tank in stages, because the bags will allow you to temp accumulate and if need be accumulate to the new tank water. I am used to moving my tank all at once, so i usually just split my fish between one or two buckets.

    Relocating Aquarium

    Since you only have 2 clowns at the moment, I would suggest downsizing to a 20 long or tall. 20 gal is sufficient for most clown species and it would be less water for you to haul back and forth. You can take your rock and water and put it in 5 gal buckets and either move some of your sand in...

    2 Important Questions

    If you have a "good" LFS in your area, they might babysit your live stock for a few weeks and ship your animals out to you. I am sure they wouldn't take any liability for your animals but it would give you time to move your tank and get it set back up.

    Relocating Aquarium

    Since you are going to university, are you going to be living on campus? If so, you are going to need to find out what the size limit is for fish tanks in the dorm. You also need to know if it is one of the schools that requires students to move out over winter break, if so you are going to be...

    Algae overload!

    I would suggest that you turn your lights down an hour to see if that slows some of the growth. Can you remove some of the rock during a water change and scrub the algae in your water that you are taking out of the tank? Then you wouldn't be pulling the algae off in your tank.

    Algae overload!

    What are your water paramaters? How long are you lights on a day? Is your tank somewhere where it gets natural light? What is your livestock, and what/how much/how often do you feed?

    Tank Cracked...

    Well Will, I guess you will be getting the 40 gal tank that you were talking about the other day a lot sooner than you expected. I'm sorry about your tank, and the big mess. Did you manage to check your heater and power head to see if they still worked? They may not have been out of water...

    Nina&Noah!!! Aerogarden question

    I have seen the seeds at Bed Bath and Beyond and seed kits for the aerogarden 6 at Kholes. I have in the past also picked up seeds at Sears, but i didn't see them the last time I was there. I would think your best bet would be a Bed Bath and beyond or possibly linens and things.

    Anemone and power head

    I had this happen about 2 months ago. It will take a few weeks for it to get back to normal as long as you maintain good water quality. I would also keep it somewhere where the anemone gets a little flow. Not a lot, but a little bit to help it get itself untangled. Also keep an eye on it, in...
