    5 1/2 setup

    Yup first year at college. It's in my hometown, I live 5 minutes from the dorm I'm assigned to so moving the tank isn't going to be a problem. If it were in another town I'd be sticking to freshwater but if I'm able to pull off a nano reef, I'm going to do it. For a filter in either one of...

    starting a nano

    Well I have this thread in the Nano forum but it seems like people rarely ever reply in that forum so I'm going to see if anyone in here has any suggestions or comments on what I'm planning on doing. Please, and thank you :) https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=172249

    starting a nano

    Well, I've had this in the Nano forum but I've noticed over the past year that this forum gets replies the fastest and I'm really wanting some suggestions and feedback on my thoughts. So here is the link to what I have in the nano forum. Please, any suggestions, comments, complaints will be...

    5 1/2 setup

    Well I know the desks they provide in the dorms are only 3 1/2' long and 2' wide so there wouldn't be enough room for a 10g and a monitor. Plus I'm really tight on extra space in the room. Right now it's looking like I have just enough room for the bed, desk, tv, nightstand and the mini...

    5 1/2 setup

    I had another thought while sitting here staring at my tanks. I have a 10g fresh right now, it's a piece of crap to say the least. This tank had been in storage for quite a few years and I'm surprised it isn't cracked. I've had it running with just a pair of shell dwelling cichlids for about...

    5 1/2 setup

    I'm wanting to set up a 5 1/2 gallon (all-glass aquarium) for my dorm room and just want to go through everything and make sure I'm doing everything right. I've had a 37g reef running since January and the hobby is so addictive, I don't think I could live without some sort of fish tank in my...

    WTB in Ohio

    If there is anyone in Ohio, specifically Columbus or south eastern part of Ohio that is thinking of selling their tank, let me know. I'm trying to figure out what my options are for upgrading. I'd love to have a larger tank but simply do not have the money to go out and buy one at the store...

    starfish a goner

    Thanks thats what I figured would be best. He's still alive but I don't see how he would ever survive from this, so I'm going to put him in the freezer now. RIP

    starfish a goner

    My quarantine hasnt been running for a month or two now so the water is around 70 degrees probably and I would need to clean it out. I need to put him out of his misery and I just need to know how to do it and I need to know fast.

    starfish a goner

    No he is alive, I just tried picking him up and he clung to the rock.

    I don't even think he is alive anymore.

    starfish a goner

    I have less than half an hour to figure out what to do with him. I know he is not going to survive from this, his body isn't even intact at all. Should I just freeze him? I appreciate the support and everything and I'm not trying to be rude but I am extremely limited on time here and I don't...

    starfish a goner

    Right now I don't care about all of that. I need to do something with the serpent's body, that's all that matters. I know he's as good as dead, but I don't know if I'm supposed to flush him or what. Usually if something dies in my tank the serpent gets to it before I even see it but this is...

    starfish a goner

    My serpent star is just about dead. I have absolutely no idea what happened. I've had him since February or March and he's been doing perfectly fine up until the past few days. I noticed yesterday that he had a small hole on his underside in between one of his legs and brown stuff was peaking...

    One Hungry Serpent

    Hmm, I guess the orange spiny star just isn't being sold right now, it isn't in the list in the Inverts section. I like this star personally, and I saw the pictures of the multiflora, very nice. My only problem is where could I get a multiflora? I have never seen on at my LFS. And also, what...

    One Hungry Serpent

    Yeah, the last time he ate one of my shrimp, it had been injured by a stone crab that hitchiked into my tank. But anyways, I was just looking on another site that sells starfish and they have a better selection of reef safe stars. Here are some of the ones they offer: Orange Sea Star...

    One Hungry Serpent

    Oh wow.. I'd hate for him to destroy my xenias. He has never touched any of my corals. Usually I just find him eating the shrimp moltings and unfortunately in this case, eating a shrimp. He is a greyish color w/some darker bands on his legs. Definitely not green, I know that much, lol. As...
