    Which return pump for my sump?

    I have a LFS that sells CA pumps rated at 750 for $40. Pretty darn cheap and so far the 2 I have work like a charm, very quite also. Anyone else have experience with the CA pumps. They seem to be very good pumps for the money and am curious to know of others experiences with them.

    Banghai Cardinal not eating

    I have always had the best of luck getting fish to eat by using live brine. After they start eating regularly try other foods and usually the fish will adapt pretty quickly. It has been my experience with Banggai Cardinals that they tend to be picky eaters. Mine will never touch flake for...

    what is this?

    Look down as mentioned above. They generally go for a decent sum of money. Do the research on these fish, they grow fairly large. My brother has been lucky enough to catch some of these fish while shrimping in SC. He has 3 now and says all are doing good.

    Oil Slick

    If there was no "slick" on the surface due to the surface being aggitated then other filtration, be it a power filter, wet/dry, skimmer, whatever, would have the chance to remove the organics before a "slick" had a chance to form. Its the same thing a surface skimmer would be doing with the...

    Stupidest Thing Your Fish Has Done?

    Stupidest thing, my clown fish likes to nip at me when I place my hand in the tank. One day he got me unexpectedly and I jerked my hand kind of fast and smacked the poor little guy. He looked a little stunned for awhile and was swimming a little funny probably wondering what the heck just hit...

    I need help with my clownfish not eating.

    It took mine around a week or so before they starting eating. If you are able to get live brine try that. Live food is very good at getting fish to eat and once they start eating they will usually adapt to almost anything. Good luck with them.

    How Many Started Out Fresh Then Went Salt & Reverse

    I started out with a 10 gallon FW many moons ago. Of course being young and not knowing any better I packed that sucker full of fish. By far my favorite was the upside down catfish. Later down the road I also set my wife (girlfriend at the time) up with a FW 10. She really liked the loaches and...
