Thanks Smellsfishey!! I hadn't used a 'search' before...I'll give it a go!!

I'mmmm Baaaack!!!!!! Thanks for the advice....I listened to it!!!! (kind of).....I did my usual 16 gal water change only this time I removed the rocks and vacummed the CC really well. I removed almost 30lbs, taking it down to 3 inches. I also removed an 11lb rock. When I refilled the tank...

Buzz.where do you get the 'pods'????? The SW guy at my LFS is out on sick leave.....nobody knew. I guess I'm going to have to look for another store temp. I didn't see them here on SWF.com, either.

Hey Red..thanks for the reply. The PJ does great. I put him in 10/09 and he's grown a little. He doesn't swim around that much, just looks like a colorful decoration. Many people see him move and are surprised he's a real fish!!! Doesn't miss any meals...eats it ALL. Frz Brineshrimp, Frz...

Hi Slick.......Short period of time....or over a long course??? Would they be beneficial or just an expensive dinner?????

As you can see....I'm a tad overstocked. However, I did it slowly and haven't lost anything. I must do water changes and clean the glass every 5 or 6 days, but I'm retired....I enjoy it. I'm thinking of adding a skimmer.....but don't know if it will fit inside because of the hood....and don't...

jaegermeister nailed it!!!!! Her's another thought in regards to being in an apartment. Do you have "Liability Insurance"???? Any damage caused by your tank, overflow, etc. is your responsibility!!! Your downstairs neighbors and owner can hold you liable for the repairs, including relocating...

My tank is a double hooded "Eclipse"....I don't run anything else, but I'm considering a skimmer....just have to figure out where to put it. Although I've read alot on this Board about water quality, etc. I set my tank up with tap water and just added "NovAqua" as directed. I knew patience...

Hey folks....although I've been reading a couple of books I purchased....I can't find mention on how to calculate water displacement. If I have a 75gal. tank....with about 50lbs of crushed coral and a corner with 25lbs of live sand....and...6 pieces of decorative lace rocks probably weighing...

frozenguy.....you don't have ANOTHER problem. You have the same 3 you've had from the git'go 1.) Your tank wasn't cycled. 2.) you bought TOO MANY fish. 3.) You haven't taken anybodies advice and taken them back

Take them to a movie.......they'll probably enjoy that before they die!!

Hey Jackson...it's me again......Terry. I forgot to mention I added 25lbs of live sand in one cornor of the tank. I thought this would help the Manderain and Scooters. I don't know if it does anything for them.....but they're all over the rocks and seem to go after the freeze dried krill that...

Hi Jackson...Thanks for the reply. The Damsels and Chromis were the cycling fish I bought in May. I only lost two..the other Domino and 3 Striped. The tank cycled by Aug....about 10 weeks. I did read about the various fish and didn't purchase anything that would exceed 4 inches. I introduced...

Thanks for the info...............I thought LR was something you got in to when you became more exp.....can I do that without the extra lighting and skimmer???? My community consists of.....2 Blue Damsels, 2 green Chromies, 1 Domino and 1 three striped Damsels, 2 scooters Dragonets, 1 Manderan...

Hi everyone...I've learned alot from checking out this message board. Now I have a few questions of my own. I have a 75gal, double hooded Eclipse. No skimmer or anything else. It's F/O and I have about 60lbs of decorative lace rock sitting on about 4 inches of crushed coral. I do my water...

It sounds like you have a Chocolate Chip Star.....does it stay attached to the glass most of the time. I have freeze dried krill (shrimp) and I just wet one, and put it under a leg. Then you can watch it work the shrimp to it's middle and his stomach fluid comes out and disolves the shrimp...

Don't forget to close off the electrical cord slots......after my Eel grew to about a foot.......he went out of the hood via the cord hole.........needless to say.......it's a one way trip!!!!!

Many people are giving you the best advice....READ!!!!! I took short cuts the first time......it cost me over $500 just for the fish!!!! If you use tap water, put in your additives, salt, etc. and let it filter for a few days....PATIENTS starts at the BEGINNING!!!! I have a 75gal...

Hi Bri......a great book is 'The complete idiot's guide' by Mike Wickham. A VERY important book is my 'Marine Fishes" by Scott W. Michael. The idiot's guide is great to use in setting up and cycling your tank but the guide book on fishes can save you a lot of head/heart aches and $$$$$. First...

I have 3 starfish in my 75 gal tank. The Brittle and Serpant stay hidden in the rocks most of the time, however the Chocolate Chip stays on the glass all the time. This would allow your son to see it whenevr he wants and you can also watch it eat by placing a freeze dried krill under one leg...
