    Any diff between regular and orange spotted lawnmower?

    Anybody know about these orange spotted lawnmower blennies? Are they pretty much the same as a normal LMB but different coloring? Haven't asked my LFS about ordering them...looks like SWF doesn't have them at the moment. Are they difficult to find?

    A DUI on a lawnmower

    Funny what a search turns up sometimes. Who knew I'd find a hilarious cop video while trying to research "lawnmower" blennies!

    Help! tell me if this is okay

    Are you buying this tonight? I think a lot of folks post and wait a day for a response... I actually have nothing valuable to add as far as lighting. But if you didn't already get a skimmer, you might be able to pick up a used AquaC Remora through local ads for under $100. I got a new one...

    Which to add first(NEED TO KNOW NOW)

    Doesn't it depend which type of clown he/she will purchase? I thought Ocellaris were pretty harmless towards other tankmates. I actually just purchased my first fish today and debating between a Chromis and an Ocellaris, I went with the Ocellaris. My thinking is that they're both pretty...

    hermi crap eating blue angle?

    Hermit craps belong on the ground in the wilderness and are not appropriate in any saltwater aquarium.

    You should check out "Love Comes Softly". You would like it--the whole series is very well done.

    50 Gallon Tank Fish Rec's

    It looks like the green and the blue chromis are pretty similar in behavior, but to me the blue chromis (or "blue reef damsel") is more attractive. I haven't seen it at the LFS but I see that they are sold by SWF.com--are they commonly available/in stock? Where did you get yours? I think they...

    Can This Break Tank?

    Be sure to explain it in simple words next time he comes over! "Now Darryl, here's the rules...if you want to hit the tank, hit it HERE..."

    Can This Break Tank?

    The pressure is zero (relative to the atmosphere) at the top and grows linearly to be highest at the bottom (if my calculations are right, it's a little under 1 psi at the bottom for a 24" tall tank). I imagine how the glass reacts might depend on where he hit it too--both height-wise and also...

    The Oscars

    Yeah...doing my taxes!! At least I didn't give Uncle Sam a free loan this year, but making up the difference doesn't feel nice. I don't usually watch the awards shows, I think it's more fun to hear the highlights and the sarcastic comments the next morning on the radio.

    LFS recommends UV sterilizer over skimmer...which is it??

    AtrialFib22: I found the lowest priced "buy it now" deal on a certain website and I only saved about $15 from the store's price...if I recall they are asking $179. They're not a bad place at all, I haven't found any places with better fish, corals, a cleaner shop or more knowledgeable employees...

    50 Gallon Tank Fish Rec's

    Sweet, thanks. Yeah I had a feeling the foxface may not work because of the size they grow to. Maybe someday if the other half allows a bigger tank.

    50 Gallon Tank Fish Rec's

    Thanks spiderwoman. I have read that the chromis damsels are the most peaceful type--do they still sometimes cause problems?

    50 Gallon Tank Fish Rec's

    Please help me plan what fish I will purchase to populate my aquarium--it's a 50 gallon (36x15x20"). Like most beginners I probably want too much. Definitely want: 1) Ocellaris clown (2 would be nice) 2) Royal Gramma 3) Blue Reef Damsel (2 would be nice) 4) Falco Hawk (or possibly a lawnmower...

    storing water for the tank

    I have a smaller tank so I have not tried this, but I happened to notice a similar size trash can at walmart for something like $10 the other day. Probably not as sturdy as the one pictured, but being round, I think it would hold together even when full. By the way while I was there I bought...

    WTB AquaC Remora w/ Maxijet

    Nobody? It's ok. I turned down a local that wanted $80 without the pump, then a week later when I had a change of heart it was sold...so I paid full price for a new one!
