Wow, this really is amazing to hear about! Almost brings tears to my eyes. I could never do what you do, it really is amazing. What do these things "female, a singleton and she's black" do to help her survive?

My fabulous dog Grinder is in a contest for Arizonas Top Pet and he is currently in round two, which ends on Sunday. I was hoping I could annoy everyone on here to vote for him. It only takes a second and only needs a valid email address. You can vote once a day. The link is here...

My mom and my daughter and I have been geocaching for years and we have a great time doing it! I have a Delorme PN-40.

I wanted to get my Pajama Cardinal fish "Flusher" a girlfriend but I dont know if Flusher is a male or female... He is huge, about 3". If I got another one and it was the same --- would they fight? I have never seen a cardinal as large as mine is so anything I would get would be alot smaller...

My first tank we did not have a reef because we had angel fish, but for the new one we are doing reef. I enjoy it alot but I am really going to miss my angel fish.... They are some of my favorites...

OK so I had my LFS check my water for me yesterday and this is what he came up with: Ammonia: .60 Nitrate: 50 Nitrite: .1 it has only been running since Tuesday.

Yes, I figured it would get algea in it but by "fill up" do you mean look ugly or clog?

Do you think that the snails are going to die during the cycling process in my new tank? I had to use all new water and about 20 pounds of new sand but kept all of my old rock and sand. I dont even really know how long I should expect it to cycle for...

If you guys are not cleaning the backs of your tanks do you rest the rock on the back as well? My new tank is so much taller I had a hard time stacking rock without resting on the walls.

Yeah, I am kinda excited about the bigger tank because I can get more fish than I had before. There is some pictures in this other thread I started about my confusion on sumps... https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=348436 I will post more pictures when I get the tank more...

This is what I have now.... I am guessing its about 30 gallons...

Well I believe that the way it was set up before was the skimmer sat in the right side of the sump (behind the wood brace)? I would like to do a refug. but I dont know where I would fit it or how I would make the sump into a refug. Maybe I should draw a picture of it so you can see how its set...

Full tank

I am not a new hobbyist. I had my other salt tank for about 5 years until it broke. In that tank I just had 2 Fluvals and a UV sterilizer. We have this new 140 acrylic tank and we are doing a sump system in it and I dont know exactly how it should work. It has one hole in the bottom of it in the...

Well we went out and bought a used 140 gallon acrylic tank and have been in the process of pluming and setting up the sump. I have always used the (annoying) Fluvals before so this was quite an experience.... With this we have taken super precautions to avoid any leaks or breakage. They say...

I have heard of people taking a two liter soda bottle and cutting the top off and turning the top inside out and putting food in the inside and the fish will swim in the little hole to get the food and wont be able to get out as easliy.... If that makes any sense...

Yeah, when we first got the tank after about 2 weeks it got a leak (luckily when we were home that time) and we took it back and they gave us another bowfront but a more expensive brand. That was about 5 years ago though. We were just thinking about getting a new tank though because my queen...

It was a 72 gallon bowfront. I feel so terrible thinking what my poor fish went through I thought that I might not want to do it again... I dont know. I have lots of live rock and sand still that I would hate to get rid of.

I had a green coris wrasse who went blind. His eyes turned white like he had cateracts or something, and eventually he could barely find food to eat it...
