    moving day!

    It is time to move everything (being seven things) from 20L into it's new home in the 55! I just have two small fish, feather duster, conch, and 3 small corals to transfer. What is the best way to do this?

    clowns

    I've had a pair of orange skunk clowns for a little over a year now in a smaller reef tank and recently the smaller of the two has disappeared. Long story short, I have a 55g set up and I'm planning on transferring everything from my smaller tank into it soon, and coming up with a list of a lot...

    nudibranch food

    Well, I just found a nudibranch in my 20g reef, after it being set up for OVER A YEAR. It's fairly large too, over an inch. Anyways, I looked it up and found that it's a Tritoniopsis elegans, which eats soft corals. I took him out of my reef and put him in my FOWLR, but will he survive in...

    Would this work?

    I am wanting to simply set up a 10-20g with a HOB filter, HOB skimmer, and UV sterilizer, put an overflow box on the main tank (39g) and set up the tubing and the return pump to have all of the equipment out of the main tank. Would this work? Everytime I read something about sumps they are...

    changing to seahorses

    I currently have a 20g reef and a 39g cube(ish) FOWLR with just a fuzzy dwarf lion, urchin, and choc. chip star. I've been really interested in starting up a seahorse aquarium for awhile now and although I would LOVE to set up a nice 55/75g, I don't have the money to splurge on that. I am...

    seahorse setup

    I would ask this on a seahorse forum but it currently is having issues and I'm not able to see anything in the discussion board. I currently have a 20g reef and a 39g cube(ish) FOWLR with just a fuzzy dwarf lion, urchin, and choc. chip star. I've been really interested in starting up a...

    swapping tanks, new stock

    I have decided I would really like to keep seahorses and my 39g would be perfect for this. But right now I have my fuzzy dwarf (my big baby), a pencil urchin and a choc. chip star in this tank. I would like to upgrade to a 55/75 and move the three of them to this. With that said I am having a...

    multiple lions together?

    I've had a 39g FOWLR set up since late August and my fuzzy dwarf has been living in there by himself for awhile now. I would really like to get a leaf fish because the contrasting colors would be really neat but it's hard to find a place that has them in stock. I was also wanting a ghost eel...

    stock list for 39g

    Okay, I've had this tank up and running for awhile now and have had my fuzzy dwarf lion in it for 3-4 months along with a pencil urchin and chocolate chip starfish. Once I figure out a way to seal the tank off (DIY canopy with lots of open space) I would like to get a ghost eel and also a leaf...

    plastic materal to seal?

    I need to seal the my tank so I'm able to get an eel and I was thinking that maybe something like tarp material would be easy to you because then I could just tape it over all the little parts to my skimmer rather than trying to trace and cut all the little gaps onto something more solid. Would...

    39g FOWLR

    I have a 39g cube with just a lionfish, pencil urchin, and CC star right now and about 40-45lbs LR and 25-30lbs LS. I'd like to get two more fish and I was thinking a ghost eel once I get the lid completely sealed and maybe a leaf scorpion? It's either a leaf scorpion, yellow stripe maroon...

    sealing top for eel

    I am really starting to want a ghost eel in my 39g but my main problem is that my DIY canopy has a big opening in the back for the filter and on one side to fit the protein skimmer. The pics show it all. Right now I have just a fuzzy dwarf lion, a pencil urchin, and a chocolate chip star in...

    1 more fish

    I've had a 39g FOWLR up and running for awhile now with just a fuzzy dwarf lion and a pixy hawkfish and I think it's time to add one more fish. I have a coralife 65 skimmer, 45 pounds live rock, 25-30 pounds live sand, and a millenium 3000 with one side carbon and one side LR rubble. I'm...

    I have had a fuzzy dwarf lionfish and a pixy hawkfish in a 39g for over a month now and I still need one more fish to finish it off. I just have the two of them, snails, hermit crabs, a chocolate chip star and one pencil urchin. I'd also like to get one more urchin and possibly some other...

    tadpoles as feeders

    Has anyone ever tried using tadpoles (bullfrog) as feeders? We have an excess amount of tadpoles in our pond this year and I was thinking maybe I could use a few to feed my fuzzy dwarf lion.. Any thoughts?

    39g stock

    I just added my first fish to my 39g. I bought a fuzzy dwarf lion and also went ahead and got a dozen hermits, a chocolate chip star and a pencil urchin. I would also like to add a valentini puffer, and a pixy hawk or a long nose depending on which is available in my area at that time. I...

    carbon or LR rubble?

    So my order of live rock came in today and I'm at the bottom of the box and it is all just a bunch LR rubble that probably broke off of the main pieces during shipment. What is a better way of filtration, carbon cartridges (it's a Millenium 3000) or using the rubble instead? I'll also be...

    37 Fowlr

    I'm wanting to turn my 37g into a FOWLR. It used to be a reef but I transferred everything into a 20g so I could start over on this tank. I'm wanting to get a fuzzy dwarf lion, a hawaiian spotted puffer (or valentini if the hawaiian would definitely not work) and a pixy hawkfish. What are your...
