    Glass top on tank?

    The link to your light didn’t work for me. I have a PC on legs about 4in above the water line and moisture hasn’t been a problem. Just have to wipe salt off every now and again. I did notice when I removed the glass lid from my tank that the temperature stayed a little lower. On the down side I...

    I.d.

    He is hiding in my rocks now so ill get back to you on the whiskers. When I first put him in the tank he turned a dark gray almost black color. Im guessing a stress response. don’t know if this helps at all.

    I.d.

    Can anyone ID this fish for me? The store told me it was a black goby but when I searched it the pictures I got didn’t look right. Its wide mouth makes me think it’s a blennie. Sorry the picture sucks. He is gray and the stripes are dark red.

    butterflies

    Do cardinals schools as well as chromis? If I go with multiple butterflies are there any that get aggressive with their own kind that I should stay away from?

    butterflies

    School of chromis might be cool. Would a long nose hawk fish be ok or to aggressive? I hear lots of mixed opinions on them. Thanks for the help.

    butterflies

    Im in the planning phase of setting up a 75-90gal FOWLR tank. The main thing I want is butterflies. My first choice is a copper banded butterfly, but I was also thinking about a heniochus (its resemblance to an idol is a plus). Would the copper banded go after the heniochus? I was also...

    Dog development.

    Seems like a short cut to me. Why run the dog through an obsticle course 10 times a day 5 days a week and build him up to a good point when you can slap 20lbs of weight on him and run him through the same course 4 or 5 times. I would think this would put stress on the dogs hips and joints...

    Dog development.

    I did read all of your post and you didn’t provide a valid reason. Schutzhund has three aspects to it. Tracking, obedience, and protection. None of these require a bulked up dog. Not even protection. They don’t want to see what dog can put the most hurt on they want to see what dog will protect...

    LFS owners

    How many people on here own or have owned a fish store? I was curious how people feel about their shops. Dose the fun of this hobby dissolve when it becomes a job? The ones by me seem to be in a struggle to stay open is this common or is my area just not big into fish? My final question and the...

    Dog development.

    I have seen similar issues come up on this forum before and when anyone says anything about it being cruel all the pit bull owners get all up in arms. If I told you that I was going to start pumping the currant up as high as I could get it in my tank and start gorging my lion fish in an attempt...

    mandrove roots

    I want to avoid real mangrove so I don’t have to have a tree sticking out of my aquarium. This picture is pretty close to what I want ( FishFaNY79 took this picture. I hope you don’t mind me borrowing it from your thread) I want to do this in about a 75gallon tank. Anyone got an idea about how...

    PArents and tattoos

    I think you need to take into account that tattoos are becoming more acceptable. It wont really be that odd to see tattoos when this generation grows up. I seem to recall earrings on guys being a symbol of a “badass” when I was little, but now I don’t think it draws a second look when a guy has...

    mandrove roots

    Im thinking about setting up a FOWLR tank that resembles a lagoon. I want to have mangrove roots for decoration in my tank, but don’t want the trouble of having to grow mangroves. Anyone know of anything that works for this. I was thinking of going up and looking at arts and crafts stores that...

    220,000 Gallon Aquarium...

    In that lagoon tank were the mangroves live? I would love to find a way to make artificial mangrove roots for a tank like that. Anyone ever tried it?

    snails???

    I don’t know if this could be it at all, but I noticed when coralline dies it turns a white color. Perhaps they are eating algae that has overgrown coralline leaving a white line behind them.

    mercury thermometer broke in my sump

    Mercury is a metal, so I would handle it like any other metal in your tank. I think the only reason its so dangerous to us is because of its low boiling point and ability to soak into your skin. If you can get it out before it starts leaching toxins into your water then I don’t think it should...
