I would loove to see a pic. I am lost!

moprint~ I was looking at a 24" one sold by xsord2007. Would you mind taking a look at it and letting me know what you think? It has 1 x 150 wat HQI and 2 x 24 wats 25.... I an super "new" with lighting, and dont know if I am technologically capable of changing out balasts. I think my...

I am wondering what people think about this light fixture....I am interested in maybe getting one for my 24 gallon aqaupod and then moving my 150 wat HQI onto the quarantine tank so I can start to QT corals and stuff. Its a very expensive light (for me at least it is) so I will have to start...

Yes, I wish I had a larger tank, but it is just not a possibility right now so I will have to make due with what I have. I think some people here have had success keeping the anemones in small tanks like mine, but I can certainly see how larger would be better. Okay, so as far as protecting the...

Here is a pic of mine from last year....This tank crashed in may.... I am working on setting it up again, but right now it is basically rocks so I am going to post an old pic. I really liked my aquascape cave and my fish seemed to like it too... My new tank has the same aquascape all over again!

Al~ Do you have pic of maxijet covered up? I am not very technologically proficient! Maybe I can borrow my moms camera and take a picture of where the koralia is....I dont think the anemone would reach it, but I guess its possible.... Wow~ I really can't believe my lighting and parameters might...

Am I ready for an anemone yet? I want to make sure I am in great shape before I add one to my tank so that it will have the best chance for success. Here are the params... Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 10 (I try really hard to keep it low, but can't seem to get it to zero) pH = 8.3...

Okay, so it sounds like concensus is that iodine dips are not that wonderful. I think I would only bother with it if it would kill protozoan parasites like ich and brook.... I have never even heard of redbugs and such...Do they mostly infest the hard corals? All I have right now are mushrooms...

Yes! Everything has worked out fabulous, thanks for asking.... My 3 sexies are hosting my only coral, button polyps. THey are really cute. I had orignally ordered 5 sexies but 2 arrived dead. It was really sad. But I am happy to report that the other 3 seem to be doing great. I hope I acclimated...

Okay~ great, I wont have to worry too much about feeding them... My only concern is that I am really diligent about only feeding my fish (only one clown) as much as he will eat, in an effort to keep my nitrates down. I feed him elos pellets which he likes, but like I said, there usually isnt any...

Hi Everyone~ I have three little sexy shrimp living in a colony of button polyps since tuesday. I was wondering what to feed them...? And how to feed them? Should I present them with the food, or will they scavange around and find it?

Can someone elaborate on this iodine dip for corals? What sorts of "badness" does the dip prevent. Ich? Flatworms? Brook? ??? Also, doesnt this process harm the corals? Is there a reliable brand that you would recommend?

Did you cycle the QT? How long did it take? My 10 gal QT has been cycling for 4 weeks....Its driving me crazy!

Glad to here his spot is shrinking. Sounds like a good thing to me.... I am surprised to hear he still hasnt eaten. I once had a very traumatic thing happen to my clown, and he went a week without eating. But then, he started eating again. Try some live brine, garlic, whatever you can think of...

Okay SO I drip acclimated my new friends today for about 2.5 hours and then used the cup method to add them to the tank.... I didnt have any paper cups on hand so I used plastic, which may have been a mistake because the edges of the plastic were rather sharp once I poked the holes in the...

Puffer~ Thats a good tip! I think I will give it a try...! Thanks

I had a female black saddle back who's face changed from black to a grayish white over time... I could never figure out why, but she seemed perfectly healthy the entire time. I attributed the color change to a change in dominance patterns between her and the male (they actually switched roles I...

Okay~ Here is another question...Is it okay to use the net to scoop them from the acclimation bucket and place them in the DT? I want to allow as little of their shipping water mixed with the acclimation water into the DT as possible. I did this once with a peppermint shrimp and they just sorta...

Sorry, I should have worded that better. Its taken me about 1.5 months to get the nitrates down, but I havent added anything new to the tank for about 6 months because I have been busy/poor/scared/etc.

No problem.... Let us know how it works out!
