    Phoenix Tanks

    I am so loving the look of this Clean tank (except that I know the ammonia is in there)!! I gutted the 55 tank Memorial Weekend, Sunday. I mean dumped the sand (8 yrs old) and scrubbed everything within an inch of its life. That means exactly 8 days ago. The live rock had become infested with...

    Anyone know why they do this?

    This guy has been cruising back and forth across the front with his shell literally clanking the glass. He does this now and then..why?? Maybe the wrong place, sorry?

    New Girl

    Here is the new girl. She has been in for about 48 hours, now and seems to have settled well. Loves the planted area because the bugs love the planted area. I think she is likely a kuda. The second photo is for size reference compared to the molly. Granted the molly is on the large size because...

    Acclimating Discussion

    I am a supporter of some old school ideas (and some not so old). I also like the idea of preventative maintenance and have been known to clean some things that are not dirty. This is good info. I am not the author, but I agree. "What Acclimate Means and Reasons for Acclimating- Ac·cli·mate: To...

    Starting Over

    After the deaths of my two girls last fall/winter (2006), I think I am ready to SH up again.

    Teenagers?

    OK, who has had some of these and how do you keep them from becoming vegetables in a posetive way? We already had one teenager, but she was exceptional and had ambition that was inspiring. She may have been switched at birth. This new teenager is developing the blase', bored, LAZY attitude that...

    I think this is a great site, have a look!

    http://seahorse.fisheries.ubc.ca/ I have searched the site and have not seen a single thing for sale. If there is, they have it so well hidden! However, they do accept donations. Enjoy!

    Red X's and no avatars?

    I just switched to high-speed and now I have red x's instead of the avatars in here. Same with the site directory to the left. Anybody know what that means?

    Seahorse Tank, Then

    https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/274321/seahorse-tank-then-now The photos I have of the tank as it is now are all 2272 (whatevers) and too grainy/blurry when I try to fix them to post.

    Seahorse Tank, Then & Now

    I will post a link in the NEW SEAHORSE & PIPEFISH BOARD. This tank was well established for seahorses, minimal tankmates..NO large fish. Plenty of rockwork and plantlife to hunt in. Low light (I have a few thoughts on lighting and seahorse longevity), good variety of flow direction and strength...

    Seahorses 101.00

    Like their horizontal cousins, seahorses that are purchased healthy from a reputable source, are QT'd before adding to the DT, live in appropriate climates for their species and are kept with great water quality, acceptable flow variations and minimum twice daily feeding...(breath, sorry) should...

    Where do your animals nap?

    Just had to share. This cat, her name is Sugar (or **it*ss, commonly) is a master at finding the odd cozy spot. The photo with the stuffed tigers, I had hunted for her and was fearfully about to head out to the road to look!

    They grow up SO fast

    This baby graduated college and was commissioned (2nd Lieutenant, USAF) last weekend! Everyone with babies, don't blink. And enjoy them as they grow, because each step will never be experienced again.

    Property Issues/non-marital

    Okay, I need some input: I don't want legal advise to enter in, here, just gut feelings. If a couple consider themselves life partners, have been together for a substantial length of time, yada-yada..They buy a house, but only in one partners name. They both work to support this household, but...

    How do you attach frag to rock?

    Very frustrating. Part of my clove has come off of the rock it was on when I purchased it. It is healthy, as is the piece that remained attached to the rock. I have tried to place it so that it will attach itself to a new rock. The problem is that my wrasses will move anything they can move, and...

    User CP question for Mods

    Why does my name say Yellow Tang under it? I tried to change it from PonieGirl to my real name and it says Yellow Tang, now. I don't care for those fish and I'm embarrassed to say this distresses me.
