Mmmmmmmmmmm...... seafood! I'll eat it all, just so long as it isn't coming out of my fishtank.

My brother was telling me that I need to watch that one. He said that it was pretty good. I'm not sure that I will since we have conflicting views on what a good movie is.

I've been doing about a 20% weekly water change for the last 5 weeks with little change in my nitrate levels. I'm sure this is due to the CC. I'm going to try the easy outs before I convince myself to go through with changing to sand. Thats a good idea about having the LFS check my water. My...

How long does it take for a nitrate sponge to start showing effect on your tank? I have a 46 gallon tank and added the sponge yesterday morning. I tested the water this evening when I got home from work and it was still holding steady at 40 ppm. Just curious to know when I may start seeing...

Wow! That was interesting. I'd hate to run into one of those down in Florida!

After doing a little research, looks like it is the Multispine Damselfish (Neoglyphidodon polyacanthus) like Wax32 said. Pretty fish though...

$70 does seem high when you can get them online for under half the price if not cheaper ...but when you factor in shipping the price jumps back up. The site I ordered from actually let me request a green BTA. I was skeptical that I would get a green one, but it was green when it arrived.

I had a Clarki and a Perc in my 46 gallon tank. I added them at the same time and the Clarki later killed the perc.

A skimmer should take a lot of waste out of the water before it has a chance to go through the cycle and become nitrate. So to answer your question, yes it should help reduce your nitrates. But.... if you have crushed coral like me, it is going to be a tough battle!

I have three snails hanging out beside and on top of each other. This is the second day they have been like this, and just a little while ago, another one joined them. Could they be mating??? If they are mating, will snail babies survive with other fish around?

2.05 I'm just a rookie...

You probably need to use some sort of photo editing software. I use an email feature that came with my digital camera. I mail them to myself and save the smaller version of the pic. It is then still a little to big, so I use the same kodak software to crop the pic. Then I save it and it is...

I've used windex, but it can leave streaks. Now I use a paper towel that I dampen with water. Then I take a dry towel and wipe the glass dry.

My inlaws live in the Charlotte area and while I was dating my wife, I remember going to a saltwater fish store in the Pineville area and I think it was off of South Blvd. It may be the one you are talking about or it may be another. Heck it might not be there anymore. Afterall, this was 6...

Here is my feather duster snail pic. It is a little hard to see, but he is on the bottom left of the snail.

That was awsome!! I knew it was coming and it still got me! That one will be going around the office tomorrow.

I also have a feather duster on one of my snails. I saw it for the first time about a month ago. Tonight I noticed one of my hermit crabs has a duster on it. These things seem to be popping up everywhere.

I fed mine once a day also, either flake food or dried brine shrimp. That is, until he jumped out of my tank.

So what skimmer would you recommend? I have a 46 gallon bow tank. I would like to get a really good one, but I also have to keep in mind that I'm on a budget.

I'm running a skilter 250 with a wooden airstone in the bottom. I hear they are not the best thing, but it is producing a lot of nasty water. All this info is great! It should get me in the right direction. If there is anything else y'all can think of, I would love to hear it. Thanks!
