Thanks for all your responses everyone. I was kinda caught by surprise the other night when my wife & I noticed that our clowns had laid a bunch of eggs. We thought it would be kinda cool to see if we could get some to make it but only one survived overnight toi have us catch it & place into a...

I dont feed my BTA's anything, ever. I do have them directly under a 250w MH though. I have had (it) for almost 2 years now. About 4-5 months ago it split into (them). They both stayed in the same spot. The same fasle percs host in them both. They actually feed the BTA's when I feed the tank...

First WELCOME to the forum! What you will want to do however is post a new thread from the main page. This case is the DIY/EQUIPMENT page. The way you did it just now is to another thread within that page. Im sure a mod can move it for you though. As to answer your question there are many...

I was told by my lfs that you can use baby brine shrimp to feed baby clownfish. What do you think about that? They got me to buy a hatcher that mounts inside the tank and as the tiny brine shrimp hatch they exit the hacther and go into the MT to be consumed by the newly hatched fish. I tried it...

Well they hatched last night. We only could find one still swimming around this morning. (eggs stayed in MT, couldnt remove rock they were on). We scopped him out and placed him into a 2gal eclipse with an airstone turned way down. He still got blown outta control when he swam through the...

Originally Posted by trainfever Really nice work. When putting the frame together, I couldnt tell by the pics but it looks like all your joints are butt joints and no lap joints, is this correct? Also, what kind of mechanical fasteners did you use, or was it just glue? Butt joints, I think. Im...

and drum roll.................................here it is complete! I am very happy with how it came out overall. The only problem is now I have to build a matching stand!!! We are moving late this summer when my new house is completed so that gives me a few months to have the new stand ready...

My false percs have laid a batch of eggs at the base of thier anemone! I know the chances of any of the fry living long enough to grow up are very slim but has anyone ever raised them sucessfully? What are some tips to give them a better chance? I know they need to be removed from the main tank...

Thanks Corpjet & Grog. I was going to try to mount all the ballasts on the "outside" of the hood on the back of the back brace. I am trying to keep the wieght down on this hood so maybe just the icecap 660 will go there. It would be stained now but the minwax pastel stain I bought for it didnt...
