    can a nitrate test kit go bad?

    I have an API nitrate test kit and was testing my home tank over the weekend. The LFS closed, I don't trust the other LFS to test correctly, so I'm on my own. My kit is API and is probably at least 2 or 3 years old. I did do some rehab in my tank on Friday, scraped glass, cleaned powerheads...

    FS: 1x96 watt pc fixture with moonlights

    I bought this fixture thinking it would fit inside the canopy of my new tank, but nooooooooooo. I just bought it, never used it. I did plug it in since I bought it used and it all works. There is a crack in the plexi under the middle of the bulb since UPS manhandled the thing, but it works...

    FS: 46 gal bowfront with mag 350 canister in central FL

    I thought I'd post this again. I'll be taking it to the LFS for consignment tomorrow. They've agreed to do that for me since I bought the 65 from them. I'm throwing in all the extras I got. Overflow kit, glass top, etc. All you need to do is get a return pump if you want to use it with a...

    WTR or Trade

    I need a 1x96 watt pc retrofit kit. I bought a 1x06 orbit fixture and it won't fit inside my new canopy. I would do a trade for this one. The fixture I have comes with a moonlight, too.

    FS: Magnum 350 cannister filter, used S. FL

    Gently used (about 1.5 years) Magnum 350 cannister filter. I only used it to polish the water by running carbon in it, then went the sump route. Most of the time I ran it, I had it on a timer and ran it at night. I'd like $75 plus shipping, but will take best offer. Will ship anywhere in the US.

    I am looking for a reef ready 54 gal corner tank. Just moved into a new home and the 46 bowfront doesn't look right in the space. mailto:tuttonj@earthlink.net I am using the dial-up (ugh!) for now, so be patient. You will also get a spam message, but if I see the 54 corner in your title, I'll...

    feather duster worm question

    I am curious, I have been told that for tube anemones you should remove or cut down the tube periodically. Should the excess tube on a feather duster be cut back periodically?

This is the largest tank I'd have room for in my...

    saddleback clowns and host

    I have decided that I'd like a saddleback clown for my tank and wondered if they tend to do better with sebae or lonte tentacle anemones. Thanks, Jane

    pj cardinal question

    I have 2 pj cardinals that survived hurricane Frances and one of them now chases the other a lot. The smaller one spends a lot of time hiding near my filter intake. Is this normal, what should I do about it? I don't want to see the small one succumb as a result of this. Jane

    invert id please

    I just picked up a smallish greenish shroom at LFS and noticed that the rock is kinda soft and squishy and I think it's another critter of some sort. Pick is attached, best I could do this close with my digital camera. Any ideas? It's the greyish black thing on the left. Thanks, Jane

    eclipse hood lighting question

    I have an eclipse hood on both my tanks. Is there any reason I couldn't just remove the light fixture they come with and replace it with a higher wattage fixture I buy online? I see on some of the web sites that there are lighting fixtures that look the same shape as the eclipse ones I have...

    hurricane survival

    Well, I finally, after 8 days, got power back. Vero was hit pretty hard. I thought I'd share my experience with my tanks so some others might benefit. I was able to get a generator on Monday afternoon, so there were 2 days that my tank at home was without anything. I also was able to get some...

    fish catching devices

    I don't know which forum would be best for posting this and I can't recall if it was here or on a yahoo list I'm on. I asked how to catch fish you want to take out of your tank, either to treat or to trade, etc. I got a suggestion to create a trap out of a soda bottle. Cut inverted Vs and...
