    biocube filter question

    should I replace my bio balls with LR rubble? I don't know if I have the space to fit a light in there for chaeto, so would it work better for me to at least have the rubble?

    Blue Mushroom Corals

    I'll have to post some pics up later tonight at home if my internet is working. These things are so small! the rock also has some white sponge on it too. I don't know if the sponge is supposed to be white, I can only find red and orange available to buy.

    African Cichlid tanks

    who's got them? What size? And what's it stocked with? I've got a 30 gallon for one electric yellow cichlid named Megatron. He's a ruthless killer and cannibal! I cannot keep tank mates with him because he kills them and then eats them. I must have at least 60lbs of rock and 40lbs of...

    Blue Mushroom Corals

    I picked up a piece of liverock from my LFS and the guy hooked me up with it. $20 for a cured piece that has a patch of small blue mushroom corals. Of course, their survival is not gauranteed, but it's still cool to get them for "free"! These are my first corals to keep, I'd say the biggest...

    my fire shrimp is quite personable

    I make sure to wash my hands before even going near the tank water. I do not use soap tho, do not use soap! I will start off with hot water and rubbing my hands together and then run them under cold water. Then shake them off, and do what I need to do.

    my fire shrimp is quite personable

    I picked up a sweet 3lb piece of live rock from my LFS guy. It has very very tiny mushroom coral growing on it along with white sponge. As I was situating the other pieces of rock too make sure it was stable, my fire shrimp decided he wanted to give me a pedicure... I guess! hahaha It was...

    why do my fish disapear?

    HE IS ALIVE!!!!!! Poor fellow must have gotten spooked and jumped into the bio ball tray in the middle of the wet/dry section. Luckily there is a good amount of flow and he was able to stay wet and breathing. I was searching around and heard a little splash, then squeezed my head and saw a...

    why do my fish disapear?

    Before I went to bed he was swimming around like normal and hasn't seemed to be acting anything out of the ordinary. I had him for 2 years before getting the cube. I checked under and behind as best I could without disturbing anything, but did not see anything.

    why do my fish disapear?

    My only clown vanished overnight. Gone. No trace. he was about inch long, and his only moving tank mate was a fire shrimp. There's a LTA as well that he managed to stay away from, and the shrimp never seems to care that he was there either. I have an 8g biocube, and checked the back filter...

    I got my 8g Biocube!!!

    its 36 watts to 8 gallons, which is a strong ratio. Its also a 10k white with blue actinics. It should survive rather well. The other tank it came out of was less wattage per gallon and it was fine. Same coralife PC light setup. It eats like a champ, fully extends and hasn't lost any color.
