It is trying to get to the algae growing under, and around it... it isn't snuggling in, but getting food from every nook and cranny. When I had my reef, I didn't like the pincushion urchins, they are bull dozers. Knocking corals over, and wearing what they destroy as they go.... In a fish only...

I would swap half the media, in a canister. That sponge filter in a HOB shouldn't be changed every time you clean it, but rinsed out in saltwater, and swished around to release the big stuff, and then put it back in to reuse it. Use that sponge until it is really worn out, when you notice it...

Hi, Lots of times when people do water changes, they also do cleaning of the equipment. Don't over clean filters and such, because you will lose good bacteria. This note is mostly for those who have canister filters or HOB. Live rock helps a great deal to keep things balanced, but good bacteria...

I think our new friend took our advice and ran away. I hope she comes back, and with a better idea of what she want's to do. I just hope this little adventure didn't sour her on a SW tanks altogether. Stunts like what this LFS did, is what causes people to be afraid to even try keeping SW...

Hi, A clownfish needs at least a 30g tank...2g no way. I'm with Bang Guy, take it all back and never go to THAT fish store again, and let them know why. Saltwater tanks are awesome and not hard at all, but you do need to read a starter book, and get a larger tank, the bigger the tank, the...

Just because rock is in a tank at the LFS does not mean it's cured. Many stores just sell the rock, and never bother with how long it's been in the holding tank...they just order more rock and toss it in. My LFS had rock in the tanks where they kept fish... I would hand pick the pieces I...

I kind of remember somebody on this site ordered the glass and was going to make their own tank...my memory isn't that good nowadays, so I don't know if it was actually ever done. Your a handy guy, you might look into doing something like that.

Hi, Only the very front, and MAYBE the sides need to be ultra-clear, the back glass doesn't matter. Acrylic tanks are cheaper for a reason.

That would be the route I would take, have the store deal with the headaches. $450.00 for shipping...OUTRAGEOUS! I doubt they charge that kind of price to the store, or they would be out of business.

I thought glass cages was a bit expensive. When it comes to getting those larger tanks, it's always custom made.

It will be worth it to hire the help... You have got to post pictures.

GLASS... I don't like acrylic tanks, they scratch up and look awful in no time. In a sump sure, but not as a display ever....Coraline loves plastic, and you can't use a razor blade to remove it on acrylic.

Hi, When I tried to purchase two dwarf angels (I had 2 tanks) the online store called me, they would not ship them until they were sure they were not going into the same tank. I know 125g seems like it should be large enough, but tangs like to take up about 6 foot of water as their territory...

Hi, I agree with Pegasus, it's lots cheaper to mix your own seawater. I know it kind of feels like a scary thing to do, but believe me it's really easy. After just a few times, you will kind of automatically know how much salt mix to get the SG right in the ball park of what you want. Getting...

I LOVE horses, I have a little robot one.... I made the Halter, booties, and blanket, the grandkids love it! It doesn't poop, eat, or need a barn...it lives in the house with me. 2 German Shepherd dogs 1 Blue Front Amazon parrot 1 robot horse 1 Grey haired granny

I love the donkeys! Anyway, I think Bang Guy's advice is perfect for your situation, rent a nice boat when you need one, and not have all the headache of your own boat to maintain.

Yes, you have been MIA for way too long, I've missed you. As for the boat...why can't you have both, a small fishing boat wouldn't cost all that much. I have been debating tearing that 90g down for some time. I always changed my mind, it was hard to break down a well established tank, I hated...

...???? What movie???? LOL... I'm not going anywhere Beth, I am pretty much home bound because I don't like to leave my Mother at home alone, this place is my social life. 2Quills, where have you been? The 90g tank was getting the better of me, I lost the potbelly horses one at a time, (over...

Thank you... We can use all the prayer we can get. Mother hasn't forgotten any people, just day to day stuff like how to make toast, fill the coffee maker with water...I don't dare let her in the kitchen to try and cook. ...She put an inch of oil in a fry pan to cook a hamburger, that's when I...

LOL.. macaw??? His feathers were a little rough in that picture, he thinks he is a monkey, hanging to the roof of the cage by one toe, or swinging on his toys, getting his feathers all beat up in the fun. He's a total clown, and he talks really well. When he fully matures, his eyes will be red...
