You mean as far as feeding? He's on a timed feeder during the weekend. There isn't anyone around. I have an aquarium here at the house that I'm setting up. I got lazy and would have had it done and everything moved out of the 10 gallon and him here at my house a month ago, maybe this wouldn't...

A week ago, my clown started laying on his side for about 5 seconds at a time, then he'd start swimming again, normally. I started checking everything in this little 10 gallon tank and noticed the water temperature was only at 68 degrees F. I keep this in my office with an analog titanium...

Ya better get a patent on that, I bet the stick is already patented.

amphipod....thats what i really meant to say

NICE, that's one of the things I was gonna suggest.

super fine steel wool is what we used to use in the detail shop on car windows. usually 00 and 000 worked and there will be no scratches to your glass, unless you apply un-needed pressure. You might mix that with vinegar too, double power, and it may act as a slight lubricant.

Bang IS the reef!!! lol. Did you figure out what to do with the coral skeletons?

not that this has ANYTHING to do with the post, but you spent a while talking about a ribbon, and Jc (the poster) has "Blackribbon" as their user title...i just thought that was funny. On a more serious note, that was a pretty cool tip Flower, i can honestly say I have never seen or heard anyone...

Well, I couldn't find the California one, but I did find one that I read when i was searching for this thing after i read the CA one. http://www.reddit.com/r/science/comm...its_a_monster/ this one is 2.5 ft long reportedly, no weight. I tried to add a pictur, but couldn't figure out how. I...

Seems to me I remember reading a news story about a deep sea isopod washing up on a california beach. it was like 80 lbs and 5 ft long....dead of course, but it freaked out every living sole there to see it, lol. I havent been on the forum for a while, but at the time that i had broken down my...

i would think the protein skimmer would prolong it. same reason people dont run their skimmers during the cycle. what about heat?

the mounting legs it came with have it about 8 inches above the rim of the tank. I pulled the heater last night to let the tank cool off to room temp (still only water in it for testing equipment). its 11:02 a.m. right now, I turned on the light at 8:30 ish a.m. and the tank has only reach 75...

I've had it on for the last 4 hours, i think i'm sunburnt, and i'm gonna have to get a fan to keep the tanks temp down i think. other than that, i've never seen this tank look SO good.

Oceanic makes a nano skimmer, I bought one for my little 10 gallon. It works ok I guess, ive had to replace the air "stone" about once a month just to keep it working ok, its a wooden air block, and it kinda starts rotting out. I tried an actual stone, but it didn't produce the needed bubble...
