    Just starting out with 30G tank ..

    LOL--won't be long and you will want a 300 gallon too! I'm telling you, it is an addictive hobby. You could probably have a toby puffer in a 55 gallon. It is easier to keep the parameters stable and gives you more flexibility with your live stock. You won't be sorry if you go bigger and it...

    So far so good, 6 tangs, 2 angles, and some friends

    Wow--thank goodness your live stock was okay. The tank isn't the most expensive part, it is the maintence that kills you. I bet your electric bill isn't pretty either.

    Mothers Day gift- bouquet of suncorals

    This is my night for updates. The suncoral bouquet has been out of QT and in the DT for about 2 weeks now. It was such a tight space in the QT they were difficult to feed. It is hard to tell in the pictures but the two clumps of suncorals on the right and left are yellow and the smaller ones...

    They are all beautiful!! Love the Blue Girdled Angel. LOL--How many people can say the just did a "little 65 gallon water change"?

    MY NEW PUFFER :)

    I really doubt it ate your chromis at 3". My dad's got to 9"ish and never bit/ate another fish, just your arm. Also, about the previous conversation, his was in a tank that had ick and never got it. My spiney boxfish puffer came directly from the ocean to our tank, so it is doubtful it had...

    7 weeks hypo and still ick!

    Kiefers---You have been to Disneyworld lots of times, with a trip in the works. We could buy a heck of a big tank with what a trip to Disney cost! We have the best of both worlds now, a decent size tank (multiple tanks for that matter) and a few nice vacations. Spanko--You are right about...

    7 weeks hypo and still ick!

    Wish we were close enough to see your 475, I would live vicariously thru you. Since I went about 4 years without a tank, I truely am happy with what I have. Didn't realize how much I missed it until we got it up again.

    Need a rec for a good bottle of wine...

    When I used to drink wine (gives me migraines now) I always really liked Oliver. The dark red wine is really sweet. The blush is a little sweet. They have a nice white wine also, but I just don't care for dry wines, I like the koolaid taste;) It is very resonably priced also. It started...

    7 weeks hypo and still ick!

    Thanks for the encouragement. They have been in QT since the end of March!!! They have never been in the display. The display was fallow last fall for over 8 weeks while all the other fish were in hypo. I had great success with that (after the 2nd round or ick). These two tangs went...

    Dthug421 Come on out!

    Dthug---come on out and play! Your tank looks great, you might as well brag about it. Tell us how old it is, what you have in it, what you would like to put in it someday. We all like details. Welcome to the site11

    7 weeks hypo and still ick!

    Just an update. I am not convinced that this issue was ick. I've seen alot of ick over the years and nothing quite like this. I spent quite a bit of time reading on the internet and could never find anything that really described it or pictures that matched. Even my local fish guy was...

    Do bubble corals split??

    One of my bubbles that almost died and has come back from the brink of death had a small little head forming on the side of the old skeleton, about an inch away from the healthy tissue. It looked alot like Meowzers but was growing out of the dead part of the skeleton rather than splitting off...

    Novahobbies' 37g Seahorse Tank Journal

    totally agree with you on the flat pack mysis vs. cubes. Don't know why, but the flat packs we buy seem to be better quality. Plus we use so much it is just easier, My parents bought a short sale property in FL this spring. I took over 6 months to get the house. It took about 5 months to get...

    MY NEW PUFFER :)

    My dad had one in his 180g for years. He was my favorite fish ever. He was an eating machine! He would eat anything and everything 24/7. He kept him until it was about 9" long and then gave it to the local zoo who had it several more years in their giant tank. I can't fathom being able to...
