At least you have SOMETHING different! I put a raw shrimp in 3 days ago and nothing! No smell, no cloudiness, no change in water...nothing. I'd like to know if THAT is normal :thinking:!

Is the NO on the ss starfish because of tank size, lack of maturity of tank, or other?

for the time being, I am just going FOWLR, until I feel comfortable with it. I would like to eventually go reef, but I have some upgrading to do first, and a LOT to learn. I've actually had my tank about 3.5 months, but just started over about a week ago. I put too much faith into the lfs...

Thanks a bunch! I kinda figured that's what I needed to do... On placement...any suggestions on location? For instance, intake for Eclipse is at rear left, heater and powerhead is at rear right. would it be more beneficial to put the skimmer about the middle, or more to the right (opposite...

If you've had a similar experience and solved the problem, please let me now how you did it! :hilarious I have an Eclipse hood on my tank. I bought the Prizm skimmer. It won't hang on the back with the hood...or the hood won't fit with the skimmer! I thought about cutting a small section out...

I appreciate where you are coming from...I just recently joined, and have a lot to learn about the hobby. As a newcomer, this was the first time I saw RG use really poor judgement in word choice, not to say he hasn't before - with 679 posts, he/she has certainly had the opportunity. As the...

Frankly, RG, if you are this young, I applaud your initiative to learn more. Not very many teens would take the time to fool with fish, much less learn by asking questions! I'll agree, you could work on your people skills, but who couldn't?! Don't stop asking questions just because your hand...

I have crappy lighting...just the plain old flourescent bulbs supplied with the Eclipse...After reading here, I think I want to go with the PC. My understanding is I need a retrofit kit. Searching online has me confused... :notsure: My existing hood light has 2 long skinny bulbs. When looking...

Thanks. I have a cousin over that way...good excuse for a visit!

puffer32 - Just out of curiosity...did you get the last LR from a lfs in the DFW area? I am in Tyler and the LR I've found here is $10-12 lb, and doesn't have much growing on it! I was considering a quick day trip to check out lfs in that area. cc in tx

I think I may try it! thanks!

OOOhhh!!! He looks scary! It looks like his eyes, nose, and wicked mouth! But your cc looks clean! :cheer:

You said 6 parts crushed coral, 1 part cement...How much sand? and I assume just enough water to make a doughy form?

Do google searchs in every possible format...ie. saltwater aquarium cycles...set up new saltwater tank...etc. You'll get a lot of different sites, but they all basicly say the same thing. If you read it a bunch of times in different articles, it eventually starts to make sense ). And you'll...

what is Portland cement? Can you get it from HD or Lowe's?

Has anyone used the aragocrete formations in their tank? I was looking at some cool arches and thought one might be a neat addition. According to what I was reading, they are supposed to be fully cured and safe for any aquarium, and supposedly grow coraline and support all other life as well...

WOW! 4 already...any more? cc in tx

For a 37g, which skimmer would be better...Red Sea Prizm, Coralife needle wheel super skimmer, or SeaClone 100? I have the Prizm on hold at lfs, but can cancel. cc in tx

Tyler...I didn't know there were any saltwater people from tx! Everyone seems to be either Cali, or way up north!

I'm sorry...I said 100 L/H...meant 1000 L/H! So I guess that is ok? what about its position in the tank?
