I like to put a small amount of food in my tank and watch the amazing race or watch a new addition to the tank go through tribal council with my angle. I lost a cleaner shrimp and it was just like CSI and missing without a trace. Survivor does offer some good reef shots. Watching the turbo...

Buy a plastic garbage can fill half full with water. With walmart as long as you pay for the water and don't make a mess on the floor. No one will say anything to you. Remember it's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for premission. If you don't feel right about doing that ask to speak...

Author Beth By Jwtrojan 44 "What water to Use? If the water in your main tank is good quality, you can use that water to fill your QT. Of course, you will then have to replace the water in your main tank with new pre-mixed, aged salt water. Doing this is a real plus because your main tank water...

I have no idea what this problem could be. Can you post a photo of it? It is very easy to second guess everything that gets posted on these pages. Why did you not use water from the 75 gallon tank during a water change? When I set up my hospital tank I used 12 pounds of LS from my 55 gallon...

I have two cleaner shrimp also and one is full of green eggs. I will be interested to read what replies you get because I have the same questions. I have heard that they switch --- when they molt. I have read that the babies rarly live before being eaten by mom or other fish in the tank. Get...

The polyp was bought as a mistake. Not a mistake that I bought it but a mistake that it was sold to me as a live rock at $9.00 per pound. This was back in the day of 30 Watts of light and a fresh just cycled tank. I know have 250Watts of light on the 55 gallon tank. So yes it is a dying...

Where does the cycle take place? I know the tank. But more directly what are we doing here? If I take 20 Lbs. of live sand and 12 gallons of water from my 55 gallon tank already cycled and place into a 12 gallon Nano tank will I still need 3-6 weeks to cycle? I'm looking to place a poly into...

Got a aqua clear 70(same as 802) power head at 400 GPH friday. I also changed the carbon in the filter. Now the fish swim side ways but it seemed to clear the tank of brown algae. The front glass would have to be scrubbed everyday. I have not had to scrub the front glass since I installed...

This one is coming back to life from his pure white days at the LFS but he still has a long way to go to be happy again I think.

This all came to me free from a 12 gallon nano tank that a friend took down so I doing what I can to bring things back to life.

what the is the stick ?

or is this a mushroom?

flower pot and a mushroom at the bottom??

IMO, there is little indication of a issue with biological filtration - rather it is a circulation issue I had two power heads but took one out because it looks like crap hanging in the corner these power look very pretty sitting on the filter tubes of an under gravel filter. I don't have the...

sorry Seaclone Protein Skimmer 100. Yes I use carbon in my filters.

I noticed that your filter is rated at 500 gph max. This is not enough turnover for good filtration. I don't remember the exact specs, but many people use about a 15-20x turnover ratio for their tanks. So on a 55 gal tank, you want to have a filter that can handle 15-20x your tank volume per...

The fish place in NT but that was about 10-15 years ago.

I took a trip to a LSF over the week-end. I talked to the salt water expert. I currently have a brown algae problem in my 4 month old tank. I relize from the searched pages on brown algae that it's normal for a new tank, I leave my lights on to long, I over feed my fish, I didn't use RO water...

Q. What kind of inverts can you have in a FOWLR? I assume that part of it has to do with the fish you stock. Make sure you read up on the inverts that you like. some can only be one per tank. This will help you not to order 12 banded coral shrimp and wonder why it's friday night death match...

acrylic51 I stand corrected. Your right.
