    timers for lights

    I was wondering how everyone deals with turning all of the lights on/off. I've heard a lot of people talk about having each light on timers, but how do you have enough room for 2-4 timers? All the ones I have seen are huge and only work for one plug. For the past few months I've just been...

    Can I put them in now?

    I'm getting pretty impatient about it, lol. So if no one else replies in the next 5-10 minutes I'm gonna go ahead and put them in. My internet has been down all day, would've posted this earlier but I couldn't.

    Can I put them in now?

    I bought a pair of orange skunk clowns from my TRUSTWORTHY (important :P) lfs a little over a week ago. They have 6 saltwater tanks there, and in the past few months only 2 of them have had outbreaks of ich, neither of these 2 contained the pair of clowns I purchased. I know that they have...

    dragonets and blennies

    The way you've described copepods sums up one thing for me: I have a TON. I always see these little tiny white-ish millipede looking things crawling around everywhere, only not as long and not as scary looking. I have a 37g and I originally put in about 15 lbs of live rock and another 15-ish...

    dragonets and blennies

    I just thought of something. How are you supposed to quarantine a mandarin dragonet or a lawnmower blenny for 2-3 weeks if all they eat are copepods..? I'm not planning on getting one any time soon but that just popped into my head as I was looking at all the tiny critters coming out of the...

    orange skunks and corals

    I know that orange skunk clowns work well with many anenomes but I was wondering if anyone who has skunk clowns has seen a common coral that hosts them. I currently only have green star polyps and ricordea mushrooms, but will be planning on getting more (toadstool, frogspawn, hammer, etc) and...

    orange skunk clowns

    The quarantine hadn't finished cycling before I was able to save my other clowns. There is no ich in the quarantine tank and my royal gramma (in the main tank) has not shown any signs of ich, which is why I'm wondering if the clown had something other than ich. I'm keeping a close eye on my...

    orange skunk clowns

    I just went out and bought a new pair of clowns since my occelaris pair died :nope: One was from ich I think and the other looked like it was velvet. Either way the diseases each one had progressed very fast and were dead within a day or two at most after it being visible on their bodies...

    Occelaris with no mate

    Um, anyone??

    Occelaris with no mate

    I had a pair of occelaris clowns in my 37g with a royal gramma (newish tank) and one of the clowns died from ich :mad: so my question is, will the remaining clown be fine on his own or should I get another occelaris for him? He was the bigger of the two, so I'm assuming that if it is possible...

    ich gone?

    I had ich in my tank, at least I'm pretty sure I did and I had one of my clowns die from it. I had been waiting for my quarantine tank to cycle before I could put the remaining fish in there but now it looks like the ich is gone. I don't see any white spots on either of them. Can this happen...

    Post your favorite pet pics

    We ended up with two new pets this past fall, one was a stray dog that wandered into our house (hilarious and wonderful boston terrier) and this crazy kitten. They're a perfect match, both incredibly energetic, they even play together! This is the fruit bowl, luckily it was empty at the time.

    Goin on a cruise

    Yeah, the cruise I'm wanting to go on is on the Explorer of the Seas. It's newer, 14-15 decks, rock-climbing wall, ice rink, basketball court, tons of stuff.

    Goin on a cruise

    Yeah, that's why I'm trying to really push Royal Caribbean as opposed to other cruise lines. I looked at a lot of the ships from other lines and R.C. just seems like you'd never run out of things to do.

    Goin on a cruise

    Were they snorkeling excursions that the ship offered? Or was it just on your own? I'm not sure how they do excursions, maybe you could explain it to me :) Oh, and about the dress code stuff on Royal Caribbean. Maybe someone to explain that to me too, they only say so much on the website.

    Goin on a cruise

    Yeah, there's a Royal Caribbean cruise (explorer of the seas) that goes to San Juan, Puerto Rico, Philipsburg, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Nassau. I'd really LOVE to go on this one, but my mom is iffy because of the price with airfare, live in Ohio, have to fly to Miami plus the cost of the...

    Goin on a cruise

    I figured this would be a good place to talk about this. My mom is wanting to take a family vacation (first ever) at the beginning of the summer since I'll be graduating high school and my brother will be graduating from college a week later. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences on...

    Levels won't Drop

    Yeah, nothin in there, just put a background on the bottom and the back. When I did the water changes it was with water from the main tank in hopes that it would speed it up, I did it yesterday when my little clown started dying. Sadly it didn't do a thing to the levels and the fish died...

    Levels won't Drop

    I'm trying to cycle a quarantine tank, need to treat ich for the two of my remaining fish. Just lost one yesterday to ich, lost another one over the weekend to a stone crab (fed him to a trigger at the lfs). Anyways, it's been cycling for a week and the levels will not drop. Ammonia has...
