    Thunder Snow!

    I have heard of it, but, never experienced it. I bet it was odd, "to play in the snow, or not to play in the snow!?"

    Anyone live near a North Carlina beach?

    I was gonna use crushed coral (heard it was a hassle so changed my mind), so going with the aragonite (argonite maybe, spelling is off today ), but figured I could save a few bucks if I could ship about 60lbs of sand (5 gallon bucket or so) home, but I doubt I will. Might use a cup of sand from...

    Anyone live near a North Carlina beach?

    When I used the calculator, it said 200lb. I added 40lb to my 55 and barely got 2 inches in some spots, so I know 80lb wouldn't do it. No need to get in an argument over sand really, I appreciate all the input. I want a deep sand bed so I will probably use more than what the calculator is...

    Anyone live near a North Carlina beach?

    I will be doing some training with the Army Reserve, and we will be staying in beach condos (the army these days eh?), I live in Indiana so its quite a ways away. Buy my question is, is it illegal to take sand from a beach? I am starting up a 125 (not going to take 200lbs or anything lol) soon...

    55 gallon refugium on 2 tanks?

    I figured it would, but, I just wasnt sure if a 55 gallon refugium would be up to the task of filtering 180 gallons of water!

    55 gallon refugium on 2 tanks?

    I recently was given two 55 gallon tanks from a family member, and also was given a 125 gallon tank with stand and all from yet another family member! Anyways, its going to be a while before I can start the 125 up so I have began thinking of filtration first. My question is, could I start a 55...

    Koran Angel and Yellow Tang best of friends!?

    I know, I mentioned above that they were both gonna need a new home (thats why I am trying to get a 125 in the future). The koran is rather small, still about 3 inches long.

    Koran Angel and Yellow Tang best of friends!?

    The tang is just temporary, very temporary, when the green hair algae is gone, the tang will be given a new home.

But anyways, At first when I added the Tang (its name is bubbles), my Koran Angel (its name is Robin) was giving Bubbles hell, tearing Bubbles's fins a bit...

    Mean and aggresive clown?

    The koran has stayed small, she was so little when we got her (maybe 1"), I know that once she gets bigger I will have to find her a new home, but if any fish go, it will be the clowns lol, they are the newcomers. She is still somewhat small, maybe 2-3" long.

    Mean and aggresive clown?

    The female is the worst! I am starting to feel really bad for my Koran Angel, cause she cannot even move around the tank anymore, she has to hide because she gets attacked.

    Mean and aggresive clown?

    I bought a pair of clowns, percula or however its spelled about 4 days ago. I also have a Koran Angel (she was the first fish in my tank, so she is pretty territorial). But these clowns now act like they OWN this tank. I cannot even stick my hand in the tank without getting attacked, I have...
