spurs in 5. and although i hate to admit it, i think they are going to get a few more in the coming years. im with you exile, warriors in the playoffs next year. if they get a center, they have potential to win a series or two in the playoffs as well. :yes: (i love baron davis!)

i would suggest live sand and live rock. this will cost you a bit more, but it will take care of alot of the filtration in the tank (plus it looks very pretty and will not be super expensive in such a small tank). if you only want damsels in the tank, almost any lighting will work, but im not...

hey i just have two simple questions. first, what is a good alkalinity level to have. second, how can i test my waters alkalinity? do they make test kits for it? whoops that was 3 questions. :D thanks for the help :cheer:

hey i was wondering what people feed their spider decorator crabs. i have had mine on some baby clams and shrimp pellets and he seems ok but i want to make sure this diet is enough to keep him healthy. i also have a cbs and a cc starfish and if you have any suggestions on food they love fire...

well i have a 75 fish only going right now. so i am hoping that will help out a bunch for the experience part of things. As for the reading thing, man 1 month ago i didnt know ANYTHING about this hobby. i read sooooo much im addicted to learning about this stuff. i also am very good about...

ok i think this is a stupid question, but im gonna ask anyways. is a nano reef tank way harder than say a 55-75gal reef tank? i really want a reef tank but its not realistic cuz of costs. i was just wondering how much maintenance it took and if it was that much harder than keeping a larger tank.

First off i would say that you should read some books. one book that has really helped me alot is saltwater aquariums for dummies. the lightv depends on a lot of things. are you planning on a reef tank or a fish only tank?? if you want a reef tank, you are going to need some lights that are...

wow very nice looking tank. what is that long purple fish?? that thing is gorgeous. is it like a firefish or what??

i want to add two blue damsels to my 55 gal. tank. here are my current fish. 4 green chromis, 1 4 stripe damsel, 1 percula clown, 1 lm blenny, a cc starfish, a coral banded shrimp, a decorator spider crab and several hermits/ turbos. do you think it is cool to add them? im a bit worried about...

hey 55gsw, what does -- stand for??? is it another good forum online or what :thinking:

:D are you serious, they just grow back like overnight one night or what. that sounds pretty crazy but awesome. thanks guys, i feel better about the little guy already

where is the tank located. if its in northern cally i will check it out. also do you know how many gallons it is, and is that a (ghetton)stand under it?

oh man the other day i was transfering my coral banded shrimp into my tank and when i caught him with the net both of his large pinchers fell off. I am about 99% sure that i didnt knock them off or anything. has anyone had this happen? can they like just drop claws as a defense mechanism or...

thanks guys. i got it figured all out and have since moved my fish into the main tank along with 36 gallons of new water. so far all is well with my fish. i will continue to monitor the levels and whatnot. i think that my tank is going to do very well. :yes: thanks for all the help.

i will do a water change asap. i guess i will put them in because i mean the levels are pretty much the exact same in the two. i just tested the salinity and it is about 1.0255 in the cooler and 1.025 in the tank. i did this test with a hydrometer. i also got a refractometer with the deal but...

oh yeah 1 more thing. my levels in the cooler are pretty similar to those in the tank, and since the fish seem to be doing ok in the cooler, i am hoping they would be fine in the tank. if the levels are basically the same, do i still need to acclimitize my fish or can i just move them straight...

I just set up the tank i got from over 6 hours away. i transported the fish safely(with help from a bunch of you guys thank you so much!) anyways, i have 4 chromis, a 4 stripe damsel, a lawnmower blenny, a true percula, a coral banded shrimp, a cc starfish and a decorator crab. They are all...

thank you all very much for your ideas and help. i really really appreciated it. heres my final plan after all the ideas and research. i am going to put the fish in a 25 gal cooler and add a battery operated airstone. i think from what i am hearing taht is the best method. their arent a lot...

thanks for the pics. if you get this check your email. i wrote you a a long list of questions/ideas. email me back asap. mike
