    Moving Tank to New House

    My fish have been through a lot and are holding up well. I've had them all for over a year and they seem pretty hardy. I'm going to set up a different tank at my new house in the next couple of days and make sure it cycles and all the parameters are ok before doing the big move. Should I take...

    Moving Tank to New House

    How should I deal with keeping the water temp stable? And also should I try and get some type of powerhead set up inside?

    Moving Tank to New House

    In the next month I'm moving my 36 gallon reef tank to a new house which is about 3 hours away. I'm wondering how I should go about this process and if anybody has any advice. Thanks

    flat worms

    what would you suggest to get rid of them. I'm afraid they may be covering my xenia too much to the point that they could be harmful. Any responses appreciated

    "yellow" watchman goby

    my faithful yellow watchman goby, which I've had for a year and a half now just recently has lost his color. He's now a very dull yellow and i'm worried about him. He still acts the same and is eating well, and none of my other fish are having any color problems. Is this a problem that comes...

    critter i.d

    I have an unknown critter in my tank, while actually it is more like a snail without a shell than anything else, but anyways it's mulitiplying pretty quickly and currently they are on many of my corals, especially my mushrooms. i'm having camera troubles at the moment and can't get a picture up...

    Metal Halides

    Jobob thanks for the help, I tried just leaving my ballast on tonight but haven't a real chance to leave it on for too long because its on a timer and went off, but I'll try leaving it on while I'm at school tomorrow.

    Metal Halides

    I got my 175 watt 13000°K Aqualine bulb today in the mail and set it up, but I'm having some problems. I made sure not to touch the bulb itself and was very careful when screwing it in. The bulb, however, will start up but when it reaches its full brightness it shuts off. I've tried turning my...

    Metal Halides

    I currently have a 175 watt 10,000k metal halide set up on my tank, but the bulb is getting old and I'm going to get a new one. Do I have to stick with the 10,000k or can I switch it up and get the 20,000 and still use my current ballast?
