    Switching from SW to FW, Questions?

    Hello, I recently had a big move and sadly had to sell off everything from my SWF tank. I also moved into a much more expensive neighborhood and with the economy being the way it is, cannot afford to start a new SW tank. I was thinking of converting my tank to a FW tank (maybe Cichlids). I...

    So I am getting rid of 30G tank and all of its contents because I have to move to Boston in a month. I have been offered my pick from a litter of CKC registered boxers in exchange. I have owned dogs in the past, but always gotten them from the SPCA or pound. Here are a couple questions I have...

    Coral Catfish?

    Anyone ever heard of a coral catfish? They are black and white with a stripes. My LFS (Petland) had a ton of them and they were selling them for $8 a piece? I don't want one for myself (already at my fish limit), but had never heard of it before. I asked the guy who works there, but as usual...

    Where did you buy your tank?

    I was just curious where you think the best place to buy a tank is. I think the cheapest would be to get one used from someone, but if you are buying new I am not sure. I bought my 29G tank from my LFS, but now in hindsight I think I overpaid. Anyone buy theirs online? Is it worth it after...

    Opinions on Filtration Setup

    I have been doing SWF for ~2.5 years and will be upgrading from a 29G to a 90-110G tank in about 6 months (after a move). I am in the planning phase and thought I would buy something for the upgrade with some of the Christmas money I have. In my 29G tank I have used a Bal-Pak Skimmer and...

    Feather Duster Reproduction?

    Ok, I have some questions about feather dusters. I have been set up with a Fish, LR, soft coral 29G tank for over 2 years now and I have had my original feather duster for about 1.5 years. About 5 months ago I had a second feather duster in my tank. Soon after putting the second one in, both...

    Watchman-Pseudochromis Conflict?

    I have had a Wheeler's Watchman Goby paired with a Tiger Pistol Shrimp for over a year now. They have always been a fantastic pair to watch work and over the year are now brave enough to venture all over the tank in plain view (not just in their tunnels anymore). Recently I added a Purple...

    Anyone know how well LFS do?

    Does anyone know how well LFS owners do? I wonder if it is a good business to be in. I think it would be such a fun occupation. When I retire (which isn't for years and years to come) I think that would be my number one thing I would want to do. I wonder how hard it is to keep a FS in the...

    Coral ID

    The LFS told me it was a type of leather, but I am not sure. Usually I would do more research before buying something for my tank, but they only wanted $15 for it, so I couldn't pass it up. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
