VERY NICE! Did he paint the inside, or use some type of laminate, like melamine or formica? Either would be great for water. Wish I would have done that on mine. I used 3 coats spar urethane (designed for wooden boats) but I'm still afraid that over time it's going to warp or rot. I really...

Cool. Keep us posted with pics. I'm about to get a 24g aquapod and I too don't like the stands. I built a stand for my 125g, so a smaller one should be a piece of cake!

Just wanted to update on my calcium level. It's at 420.

Cool. Thanks everyone. I'll post again if he gets better, or worse.

Hi all, I am going to be getting a 24g Aquapod for my office. I'm going to need an auto feeder for weekends. Looking at the tank (my son has a 12g model in his room), I don't see any way to hang an auto feeder on it without leaving the lid cracked open. Would I better off with the HQI model...

It's hard to tell because he always hides in the rocks, but it looks like 2 are still intact. So do they grow back, assuming he isn't dying? I have a coral banded shrimp that lost an arm and it grew back in about a week. He uses both of them to pull my snails off the rocks now 8-)

It'll be 2 weeks tomorrow. He is moving around the tank, so at least I know he's still alive.

Hi all, My new Red Serpent Star seems to be losing some of its tenticals. See the picture. Is this normal? I have not seen anything picking on it. Currently I have 1 hippo tang, 1 lopezi tang, 2 perc clowns, several hermits and snails, and 1 bubble tip anemone. 125g tank and all levels are...

Originally Posted by seasalt101 what i'm thinking is your crabs are killing each other for each others shells same with the snails, do you keep empty shells in the tank? jmo tobin I'm a n00b, but that's what I was thinking too. My hermits are always fighting over shells. It's funny to see...

I'm just jealous because your husband is working outside, wearing SHORTS! :mad: It's like 10 deg here in Michigan and we have 6" of snow on the ground. I had to buy a heater for my garage just so I could get my canopy built! Looks like the stand is coming along nicely! I bought some new...

I am going to setup a quarantine tank this weekend. The guy at my LFS said to not put any water in it until I need to use it, and to use my main tank water when I do. He said that just leaving it running with nothing in it would be bad. Those of you with QT, do you leave a fish or something in...

Yellow tangs won't bother the other fish? I thought they were pretty aggressive.

Does SWF offer a live rock "nano pack" like some others? I'm going to be building a nano soon.

Do cleaner shrimp help prevent ich? Help cure it?
