    Batfish Issues

    It took me 2 mouse clicks to find that one, once on the word fish over there to the left, and one on it's name. If you improperly care for a dog or cat to the extent that it dies you can be arrested, then how is killing a wild animal a comendable deed that deserves the reward of our sypathy? If...

    Green Chromis vs Anthias

    Squarespots are from deep water and like dim lighting. The females are a butt ugly yellow, almost pale goldfish color. Don't think I've ever seen one in a store.

    bioballs Can't find the answer to this one HELP

    IMHO Bioballs are specifically designed to be out of water. Water drips down them in a way that it's exposed to the most oxygen possible. Under water they have the lowest surface area of any biomedia and do little more than obstruct the flow. Never ever wash them, as with any biomedia, they...

    buying expensive live rock

    I stared at one of those things for like 10 years and never saw the other end. My fish win trophies and I sit there yelling at them to get out of the way so I can look at some ugly gooey stringy thingy. Cured rock is always more expensive. It's around that price where I live.

    Thoughts on the Seaclear System II

    My 60 Seaclear is 20 years old and has the system in the stand. I love it. I will never buy another glass tank. Acrylic is so much easier to customise than glass.

    bioballs Can't find the answer to this one HELP

    Submerged bioballs won't do much other than slow the flow. There won't be anerobic bacteria because evn though they"re submerged there will be disolved oxygen in the water. You'll only get anerobic bacteria under 3"-5" of tightly packed fine sand.

    Sick Clown or did she just scrape her head?

    If it just showed up at that size it could be a bump on the noggin, but if it was smaller the other day, thats different. If you have a QT put her in just in case. If it gets fuzzy you should probably treat for gram positive bacterial infection. Mardel Laboratories Mayacin, Melafix, Pimafix, to...
