    tangs for 125

    I have the chance of buying a 125 reef ready w/stand and megaflow accesory kit for $300 (new) and I'm seriously considering getting it. I just can't decide if I'd want to slowly build up money to make it into a reef or keep it as fish only. Either way I'd really like to have some tangs so...

    help!! power outage!

    For some reason the electric company turned my boyfriend's electricity off 2 1/2 hours ago and his d*mn roomate has the account number and is in class so the electric company won't even tell him why it was turned off let alone come and turn it back on. He has a 29g FOWLR with just a firefish...

    levels after the transfer

    I transfered everything from my 37g into a 20 long earlier this week and checked all the levels just now. The tank hasn't started a new cycle so that's a good sign. I used everything from my 37g and just added some new live sand, everything else was from an established tank. But my pH is...

    glass lid too large, what to do

    I just set up my 20g, I downgraded from my 37g so everything from my 37g is in there except the larger pieces of live rock which I got store credit for ($70). I have my Prizm skimmer and a Millenium 2000 on the tank but there is one problem: The versatop is TOO BIG for everything to fit. I...

    coralife mounting legs

    I really need to re-do my 37g reef setup. I had a problem with the skimmer while I was on vacation and now pretty much all of my corals are dead and it's just a mess. Luckily my 2 clowns are still alive but I really just want to put them in a better an environment until I'm able to fix this...

    coral skeletons in tank

    I'm currently at the beach and I'm seeing a lot of stores that are selling dead coral skeletons. I was wondering if it's safe to put this type of thing in my tank and if it is how I should go about cleaning it so that nothing on it will hurt my tank. Most of them are white/white-ish but there...

    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

    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

    I have a serpent star in my 37g and I'm assuming he just isn't getting enough of the food that I put in there twice a day because he just ate another one of my shrimp. He hasn't done this in a month or two, but he did today, luckily it was just my peppermint. So my question is, are there any...

    Safe Crabs

    Can anyone give me a list of crabs that are safe to put in a tank with fish and other inverts? It's a 29 gallon. They don't have to be compatible with corals, but I don't want to get a crab that is going to kill other inverts or attack any fish. Thanks :)

    whisper filter

    My boyfriend was given a 29g equiped with a whisper filter and I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these filters? I only use millienium filters on my tanks so I don't know if the whisper filters are any good or not.

    7-night cruise, feeding fish..

    I'm going on a 7-night cruise in June and I just thought of this: How am I going to feed my fish while I'm gone? There most likely won't be anyone around that will be able to take care of the tanks. I'm in the process of finding timers for my lights (mainly finding room for timers) but how am...
