Hey.... we're fashionably late on this thread. It's time to do something like this again. How did the one that started earlier this year go? Did you find a place to meet? My tank is new so I don't have much to trade. But anyone that wants to share for future trade credits is fine by me...

I'm all over the Chicago area for work and would be willing to pickup anything that you have extra of. I've had Xenia for about a week and I'm already seeing that I'll have lots soon. If you have anything that's not super light intensive you want to get out for free or trade for cash, let me...

New to the hobby, so I don't have much to trade. Would you sell the power heads? How much?

Where are you at. If it took long to ship to West Coast and Florida, I'm hoping your in the midwest? If you have more to trade now, or you may have more in the future to trade. I don't have much to trade yet. If you'd like to trade some Xenia, I'll have plenty of them in not to long I'm...

I'm in the area and would be interested in what you'd want for: The Purple Tang UV sterilizer Timers Power Head If you decide part it out that is.

Maybe this is just me thinking stupid out loud. I stopped into an LFS the other day and they said that most starfish die due to starvation. I told him that the LFS I got mine from said to feed it once every few weeks. He stated he never heard this in all his years, but has a client that...

I've heard that they need iodine and good lighting. Mine have grown noticeably in about a week. They are really cool to look at. I added some because my tank is new and I don't have things flowing and moving about. So they help the harsh looking rock look more alive. I've heard they're...

How do you clean your aquarium floor. I have a new 92 thats finshing the cycle. Have a lot of brown die off from my live rock on the sand base. I have the fine light colored aragalive sand. How do you keep it clean? I can vacuum the bottom, but I get a bunch of the sand as well and it takes...

I've got a 92 gallon tank with LR and it's finishing cycling. I have Power Compact Lights, 10k and actinic. Do you guys use both lights at the same time? Use the Actinics as a morning & Dusk light, turn them off during the day when the 10k is on? Use the actinics at night and the 10k during...

i had the same experience in Old Orchard. Way too pricey. The manager was complaining to his staff one day that he was spending to much time talk to customers and answering questions. Last time I'm going there. Scott's isn't bad. Wet Pets in Roselle isn't bad, but they had just moved when I...

I absolutely love the Living Sea Aquarium in Park Ridge. They're not ***** or some other huge chain, but I find they're pricing pretty competative to many of the other stores in the area. I can't praise them enough. http://www.livingseaaquarium.com/

Doh! The name of the place is Living Sea Aquarium. You might need that as well. Their website is http://www.livingseaaquarium.com/

If your going to be in Chicago and heading toward Rockford, then I have a must stop on your trip. The I travel around the Chicago area for work and this is my absolute favorite store. The staff is knowledgeable and courteous. They have lots of variety. They have a Koi pond, a shark pond that...

I posted that already. All the tests were good. The amonia cycled, then the nitrites. It's only a 10 gallon tank so it must have gone quicker? I had the local store (not a pet store, an aquarium only store) do all the tests as well. Last test, amonia and nitrites were both at 0. He's...

The tank has been running for about two weeks. I had my LFS do water tests for me as I was doing them. This way I could be sure that I was doing my tests correctly and interpreting the data correctly.

I got my first inhabitants today. The first fish is a tank raised clown fish. He seems content to stay in the middle to upper parts of the tank. He's been in there for about 7 hrs. Was looking pretty calm and content to me. Then I went to give him a little food before bed. I turned on the...

I'm cycling my tank and it's amazing how much fun we're having just watching rock. I guess it's the cold weather settling in on the midwest. I've got live rock and there a few things I don't know what they are....... Any input would be appreciated..... I have about a 1/2 diamater white...

I thought I may have been confused. I've done lots of reading. Though I know I'm still learning because I'm much smarter at the end of each day I was originally told that the crushed coral was best for Saltwater tanks. Maybe I'll remove some during my cleanings and replace it with some...

Sorry if the question was a bother. I should get a book and not use the forum? Sorry, I thought this was an acceptable place to ask questions. I hope I didn't take wrong. I've been doing a lot of reading to learn. I just couldn't find the answers I was looking for.

I have 10 gal. as stated above. I'm realistic in my expections I think. I only plan to have one and maybe two small fish to start. Then I may go to a bigger tank when I'm sure I'll stick with the hobby and can provide suitable environment for the fishies. I intended to replace the filter...
