Hi, I've been breeding clownfish for about 6 months, I have 4 hatches that made it thru metamorphosis. I have sold off the first hatch and have 3 more growing up on a system in my basement. The last hatch was quite "successful" as I have more than 100 from that nest. Unfortunately, about a...

Hello, I am setting up a breeding / grow out system for A. Ocellaris, and I wondered how you are managing things. Particularly, 1. What is your typical survival number per hatch? 2. What size tank are you using for hatch and grow out? Same tank or do you transfer the juveniles to a different...

Hey, I really love the float valve auto top off. Now I want insurance: Now that I can turn the pump in the top-off bucket ON whenever evaporation lowers my tank water level (thus lowering the float), I want to be able to turn the pump OFF if the bucket runs dry. Can I, in the top-off bucket...

Go to IRS.GOV and link through there to your choice of FREE tax prep software online. TurboTax is free there! Lots of other choices. I did my taxes in one evening. My state charges 19.99 to file electronically. Not bad GO, GO, GO!:jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

Anyone have plans for an aquarium stand? Simple 2x4 or some such thing? I need to build stands for a 29 and a 20 gallon aquarium. thanks, Kathy

So I got my RO/DI equivalent water from work, and I mixed up 5 gallons of salt water, put in my powerhead and left it covered for a week. Went to do a water change and the water is cloudy????? Well, I had some more of the good water, so I wiped off the powerhead, mixed up another batch of...

I don't know electricity at all. I ordered some replacement fans for my JBJ PC light hood, because the fans that are on there are noisy and sometimes don't work. I got some that have 3 wires coming off of them. At the place I bought the fans, they sold 3 wire to two wire adapters so I bought...

Hi, Over the summer I've lost 2 shrimp and 2 crabs. The cleaner shrimp were pretty big, so they might have died of old age. But the crabs died mysteriously. In addition, my xenia have been declining, getting smaller and smaller. My clowns keep trying to be hosted by them, and that is getting...

Hi, My toadstool leather has attached the middle of its "stem " to a neighboring rock in a couple of places, while still firmly "rooted" to the frag rock it came on. Unfortunatedly the frag rock was a multi frag rock, and the toadstool is twisting it so the other corals are not getting enough...

Happy birthday, and we missed you at SEASL this morning. Or were you there...:)
