Both tanks are impressive! How do you attach your live rock to the pvc without drilling holes? I have made "tables" out of eggcrate and PVC. You can adjust the height with the legs and then I piled rocks around the corners to hide the legs. Simple, cheep, made great caves, and got some...

I'm chiming in here on Kiefers behalf---I'm dinking around on the computer and he is out washing my Jeep. Good deal for me He originally wanted to go with agronite but is concerned that it will hold more debris than sand. He had black sand in the biocube and didn't care for it. It blew...

Can you get too much flow? I also have been researching these for a few weeks and have purchased everything except my pump and light bulbs. I was waiting until after all Christmas presents are purchased before I order the pump. The screen is 10x13. The pump will have to push the water up...

Thanks for the reply. Hubbies tank probably has it too.....one fish has been in both tanks and we share equipment, obviously that will have to stop. It is just so easy to do when we are both working on aquariums in the same room! I hadn't thought that through about putting the corals in his...

A little back ground information first. I have a 120gal, with mostly fish and a few inverts and low light corals. The tank has been set up approximately 10 months. I used dry agronite, base rock, and about 40ish pounds of live rock. When I added a coral beauty a few months ago it had ick...

Luckily hubbie and I are both equally into the saltwater hobby (I forced it on him initially). Although I'm on the forum/computer much more than he is. We also each have our own way of doing things. We each have our own tank, in the same room so we work on them together. We help each other...

My frogspawn was in our tank less than 24 hours and over half of it was gone. The next night I got up with my flashlight to try and find the culprit. I found a small (size of a quarter) Gorilla crab that came as a hitch hiker on my live rock carrying the rest of the frogspawn under his rock...

This is the first time my Ph has been that low. Normally it runs 8.0-8.2. Any recommendations for getting it up or ideas why it dropped so low?   I assume the nitrates are that high because I have bio-balls. I have been hoping to slowly replace them with live rock, but it hasn't been in my...

Salinity 1.023 (usually I keep it at 1.024-1.025) Temp. 79.1 ( +/- 1 degree) Ph 7.8 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 40-80 (hard to read on my test kit)   I just added Prime to help neutralize the Nitrate until I can do another water change, but honestly that is where it has been ( or higher) for the...

I haven't checked my parameters since we got home from vacation. I will do that this evening. I did do a 15 gallon water change about 3 days ago, just didn't take the time to check the parameters since they have always been fine and it had only been 11 days since the last water change.   I...

I thought the same thing. I looked for the pictures a few days ago and couldn't find them. Maybe now that the site has been up running for a bit I will have better luck. So far she is acting normal.

Ours has been really good. He was one of the first fish in the tank and never had any problems with him. My personal opinion (for what it is worth) is the larger the tank, the less problems they have. The person we got him from said he was a terror, but he was in a 20g. Put him in our 120g...

When we got home from vacation last week we noticed our Yellow Tang had a small red line down the base of his tail. It spread to part of the edges of his top and bottom fin. Sometimes it fades so it almost isn't noticable. Today the back 1/4 of his body is bright red. Looks like he has a bad...

My daughter has had Indian Dwarf puffers for several months now. She started with 3. We just could not get one to eat. The remaining two have done great! They are very entertaining. We have tried many different kinds of food--the only thing they will eat is frozen blood worm, live mosquito...

We had shrimp in the tank before we added the hawk fish and haven't had any problem. I would just recommend if you want any shrimp, make sure you add them first and they are adult size.

It is pretty! Those are my favorite urchins--I like the tuxedos also. We find those all over the rocks in South Carolina, that is probably why I like them so much---good memories

We had a purple urchin in a very established tank (180g, up for many years) and it starved to death in a few months. It was beautiful though. I've wanted another one but I'm too afraid it would be destructive and/or starve to death. Last summer we found a really small one--smaller than my...

Thanks for the info about the brain! I didn't know about the oils in your hands burning corals. We have moved it a couple of times to get it into an area with less flow, but we have used bare hands. We got it from a friend who had it several months and we've had it about 3 months. Neither of...
