Thank y'all for the advice! I'm going to give it a shot to try to get her healthy again.

Its like a car battery, but made for marine applications. They handle the drain /charge a lot better than a car battery. People use them to power things like their trolling motors on boats. When the battery gets low you simply attach a charger to it, and charge it. You would have to get a...

What about a couple of battery back ups like used for computers. I don't know how long they would last, but you figure a power head doesn't use too much electricity. Or you could always get a deep cycle battery and a power inverter.

I know what you mean about joining the gym and needing a partner. Not to mention, if you are cheap like me, you have to fork out a chunk of money. From my experience with the gym, you can always find someone to spot you. Most people don't mind helping you. They can also give good advice on...

I would just rinse the live rock off in a bucket of saltwater before I put it in the tank, if you had it shipped to you. (if you picked it up at the LFS, you shouldn't have much of problem) You won't belive how much junk comes off in the rinse. That should help your water not cloud up as much...

Personally, I would rather have a Royal Gramma over the Bicolor Pseudo. They are really similar in appearance. I also like the firefish for their personality, but they are jumpers so make sure you have a lid or cover over your tank. I lost mine a year a go... found him on the carpet. Good...

Welcome!! Are you going to cycle your tank with the live rock, or do you already have fish in it?

LOL, gotcha... I remember those days of not having much equipment to work out with. Are you still in High School? Just a thought, but why not stay after school and use the weight room. When I was in HS, I had a good friend that I would stay after with and we would lift weights for about an...

Not sure how to get your fish to eat... Ich has a lifecycle that last somewhere from 4 - 6 weeks. So if you don't have any fish to host it in your tank now, then in that amount of time, you should be ich free. Good luck!

Y'all are going to hate me when I say this. I have her in a 46 gallon bow tank. I got her 2 or 3 years ago before I knew better.... My brother has a 120 and I would give her to him, but he already has a hippo, a yellow and a sailfin. So I'm going to do what I can to get her up to par till...

I had been seeing HLLE on several post and finally did some investigating as to what it was. Turns out my hippo tang has it. I never knew what was wrong with her till now. She has the white lateral line, no color on her face , a sunken in nasal cavity area, her ribs show and the skin between...

Yep, sure do. I'm trying not to make the same mistakes that I made the last time I got live rock a few years ago. I think when I finished with it, it was dead rock, LOL.

Thanks!

...and I thought PVC was supposed to be cheap! A couple of years ago I put in a sprinkler systems in my yard and all that pipe and supplies started to add up quick. Its all worth it in the end though.

I just got an order of live rock in today and I've got it in a rubbermaid container curing. I have a powerhead in there to ciruculate the water. My question is, should I shoot air bubbles through the power head or just leave it as is with only water coming out? Will there be enough oxygen in...

Speg, I just started working work again about 3 weeks ago. It really stinks getting back into it with all the soreness you have to go through, but once you get over that, its not so bad. You just need a good lifting partner to keep you motivated and focused on your goal. As far as eating and...

Have you checked all your water parameters? Something may be causing unwanted algae to prosper.

My CC seems to turns brown between my vacuumings. I do a 10% water change weekly and I am able to turn over the CC while doing that and it brings it back to a white color.

Is it algae? Do you vacuum you Crushed Coral when you do water changes? That should help to get rid of it.... or at least temporaily get rid of it.

Mine takes flake food and brine. Very neat little fish. Just like Tizzo's, he cleans my hand every time I stick it in the tank. It is also neat to watch him clean my other fish.
