    Getting a Solana

    I'm picking up a Solana from my friend since he is moving to the Keys and doesn't want to move his tank. So I'm getting it super cheap! I want to know what everyone has done as far as upgrades to their Solanas. Any thing I should watch for? His gass top is broken so I think I'll just pick up...

    Feeding Acans and pictures

    I just bought a few Aussie Acans at MACNA on Friday. I want them to grow as fast as possible. How often should I feed and what variety of foods do you use? I have been feeding mysis daily and putting some Rod's food coral blend in every few days.

    16g bowfront mixed reef!

    The tank has been set up for about 7 months now. Right now it has a pair of clowns (waiting to go to their new home) and a pair of scooter blennies that are eating frozen food. Corals range from Acropora to favia to zoanthids and everything in between. There's far too much to list! If you...

    Appy's 16g Bowfront Photo Journal

    This is my first try at keeping up with a thread for everything I do to this tank so bear with me! haha! I set the tank up the last week of December. Everything was transferred from my 5.5g except the sand. At this point it was more of a makeshift setup with a tiny filter on it and everything...

    Birds or Prey Photos

    I took some photos of some of the birds of prey at work today. Before anyone flames zoos, all these animals are here because they are injured to the point where they would be unable to survive in the wild.

    Sexy Shrimp tankmates?

    I moved everything in my 5.5g to my 16g a couple days ago. This included my lone sexy shrimp. I plan on getting a few more so I have a little group. I also have 2 baby clownfish. I was thinking of doing a clown goby in the tank. I was also considering cleaner shrimp. Do you see any...

    16 gallon fish list?

    I set up my 16g bowfront last night. It has all my LR from my 5.5g and the 2 tiny clowns that were in there. It will have about 5 sexy shrimp in there, right now there is one. I'm considering adding clown gobies. Has anyone kept these in groups? I'm at least going to do one maybe even 2 or...

    My Dorm 5.5 gallon!

    I have this 5.5g on my desk at my dorm. It has 2 clowns in it and a sexy shrimp (just lost the other 2 :( ). As far as coral, it has several zoanthid frags, some cool mushrooms, and I'm trying to collect some LPS for it. My friend is trying to get some ricordea this weekend, so hopefully I'll...

    Completely re-did my tank!

    So everything in my tank was looking pretty bad. I figured since everything else was fine, the nasty looking crushed coral was the culprit. So I bought 20lbs of LS and another friend gave me his leftovers from his new setup and completely stripped the tank and put in the sand a reaquascaped...
