Has anyone ever had a jellyfish tank or know of someone who has? Does anyone know the requirements to keeping these animals? There's a sushi restaurant in the Bellagio in Las Vegas that has a huge tank full of jellyfish and I'm always mesmorized by it. Wouldn't mind trying to create my own...

Does anyone know of a lfs with a good selection of live rock in the Denver metro area? Or a good source of inexpensive live rock?

If I set up a tank using the play sand you can find at the hardware store for the substrate, and add live rock to the system, will the critters from the live rock migrate to the sand bed thus creating a live sand bed? Also, I bought some live rock that was in my friends tank for about 14 months...

Can a high alkalinity affect fish and inverts alot? Isn't alkalinity just a measure of the buffering capacity of a system?

Also, where can I find $5 percs online?

O.K. I'm very new so excuse this question. What do you mean by not getting a pair but rather 3-4 clowns. Wouldn't 4 clowns be 2 pair?

My thought is to strip out the light holders out of a shop light and remount them under a hood right next to each other. The lights themselves are probably 1.5" to 2" in diameter. So after remounting them I'd have a solid 'wall' of lights. i.e. if the light bulbs are 2" in diameter then I'd...

Thanks for all the insights!!! I probably ought to get rid of the wrasse. After reading through the message boards I've heard a lot of bad stuff. But that little Hawkfish is just so cool!! Can anyone give me a good rule of thumb of adding perula's to the tank. I know you should get a pair...

So what I'm hearing is that by buying a cleanup crew I may instead just be buying dinner for the Lunare Wrasse and Hawkfish? Turns out it's a Falco Hawkfish. Their mouths seem too small to eat snails and crabs. But I'm new at this so I'm glad I asked first. In general, are local fish stores...

Here's my idea. I'm planning on making my own hood for my 55 gal aquarium. I'm thinking about getting some shop lights from Home Depot (under $8), taking out the fluorescent light fixture holders and wiring, and mounting them directly into the hood. I think I can get 4 to 6, 48" fluorescent...

I have a standard 55 gallon. I'm looking at doing a fish only with live rock. My lighting system now consists of a whopping 30 watts!! What would be an inexpensive lighting upgrade to get enough wattage to at least get something to grow out of the live rock. I'm not looking at keeping corals...

Hello all, I recently purchased a used 55 gal. saltwater tank that was already up and running. It's now set up at my place and seems to be doing fine. Upon setup about 50% of the water was replaced. It has about a 4" sand bed and approximately 30-40 lbs of live rock. It also came with 2...

I'm buying a used salt water aquarium that has been cycled and up and running for about 14 months. It's 55 gallons with about 60 lbs of live rock. The floor of the tank is crushed coral. When I move the tank to my place would it be a good idea to get rid of the crushed coral and use a sand or...
