I just bought the JBJ ATO automatic top off unit. It works great and is well worth the money. You should look into that. You could also buy a timed feeder but the fish will be fine without being fed for one week. Just feed them some meaty frozen foods before you leave.

I am also interested in lights. please send pics to trainfever@comcast.net Where in NJ are you? I can possibly come pick them up.

Its dead now, so I just dropped it to the bottom of my tank and let my serpent star have a good meal. It was under halides at the LFS but I was told that the Crocea clams filter feed as youngsters and dont start feeding on light until they mature. My clam was barely 2 inches. It was fine on...

No, the Copperband is gone. My LFS says it could be bristle worms or possibly the peppermints. I put the clam in a plastic container up high on a plastic shelf where nothing can get do it except maybe the shrimps. Even they would have problems getting in the container because it is only about a...

The tank has been up for over two years. I drip acclimated it for 4 hours. Its been in the tank for 3 weeks nad its been fine. I have VHOs which I know is border but its been opening every day. I have it up high about 3 inches from the top of the water. The lights are about 6 inches above the...

I bought a Crocea clam about 3 weeks ago and it has been doing fine. It was opening and it even stuck to where I placed it. So I assumed it was happy. Today I came come and found it laying open on its side with the mantle withdrawn. It looks as if there is a hole straight through it. I touched...

Try The Hidden Reef, they have it for 2.79 a pound. You cant find it much cheaper than that.

GUMBY!

I have a ten gallon tank that I use for both a QT tank and a hospital tank. I dont keep it up all of the time, only when I need it. What I do is make a fresh batch of water. I then drain 10 gallons of water from my dt into my Qt and then fill my dt back up with the fresh salt water. Where are...

If you plan on getting them from da bay, dont bother. they will all be dead in a few months.

I can remember gas being .35 cents per gallon and with every fill up you got a free drinking glass. They encouraged you to get a whole set. As a kid I can remember everyone having drinking glasses with the "Flying A" logo on them. Anyone remember Flying A gas?

I would eliminate the last baffle on the right. there is no need for two bubble traps. I would then raise the baffles of the fuge slightly. There is no need to raise the baffle to stop macro from escaping because no matter how high you make the baffle, the macro will still float and go over the...

Buy yourself an ATO, automatic top off unit and forget about feeding. Fish will be fine for one week without feeding.

So I go to the bankk today to make a deposit. Its a new bank and I wasnt used to their forms. I give the forms to the teller who looks at it like it was written in Greek. She throws the form back at me which aggravates me and I tell her so. Now I ask her to show me where it is wrong but she cant...

YOu can actually just throw a little fish food into the tank to get the cycle going. Be patient, that is the number one thing causing problems in this hobby. The more patient you are, the better your tank will turn out.

today.

This is normal, Hippo Tangs are known to "play dead".

Try testing a batch of clean water before doing a water change. If the new water tests high for nitrates then you know the test is defective.
