I got brave today and figured I would try to move some mushrooms onto a rock in my tank. They were on several sides of that plastic grid (egg crate?) stuff and I thought it was an eye sore. Removing them was pretty scary but they came off fairly easily. I used super glue gel to attach them to...

I was looking at several hawkfish at my LFS and wondered what the chances would be for my Coral banded shrimp if I added the hawk... They had a lyre tail hawk, a geometric hawk, or I also wondered about a long nose hawk... Thanks!

Im in the market for lighting. Let me know when you are ready to let it go. Im at jaymetcalf@msn.com

I dont have an anemone, or MH as I am pretty new to all of this. I do intend however to get both when my tank is more established... (oh yeah and when I know more about what the heck I am doing.) Is there a certain type of coral that he would like other than the zenia? He is, well should be...

I was wondering what would cause a fish ( in this case a tomato clown) to constantly hang out behind the lip of a hang on filter where the water is flowing back into the tank. Does it have something to do with the current in the tank. I thought at first that it might be temporary hiding spot...

hey wax, since I have your ear and you have been very helpful to me in the past, can I ask another (maybe silly) question. When I have been reading about swapping tanks none of them mention drip acclimating the old fish with the new tank water that obviously has some new water and some of the...

Hi, I will be switching from my 29 gal to a 55 gal at some point over the next week. I have been searching/reading lots of the posts about tank swapping etc and I think I understand the basics of it. My question is as follows: I would like to add more rock to the new tank when I set it up...

The goby is now swimming more, but he is going upward to get air at the waterline. Doesn't that mean that I am not well enough oxiginated? my filter is turning 400 gal per hour, and I can see the current all over the tank. He has yet to eat. hmmm...

Its true I do not have a QT tank. Although I have an empty 5 gal that I could pull some of the water out of the main and a pice of rock and get the filter running on it, I have a light for it and I could go get a small heater really quickly..... Yes he is sitting on the branch like piece of LR...

Looking for advice.....

He is only about 2 inches from the top waterline of the tank, does that mean anything to anyone??

New development, the LFS where I got him is closed on Mondays, so there is noone there I can talk to... He has moved himself back into the crack between a rock and the glass.

I have a 29 gal with 25 lb of live rock. I run a skilter 400. I am at Amm - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - .125 PH - 8.2 SG - 1. 025 temp - 78 Alk - was a little low, added builder over the weekend, have not tested again since. These test results were confirmed by my LFS on Sat I have a lyre tail...

Glad I found this thread today, I have a skilter 400 and am doing the air stone trick but I am still not getting funkiness in my collection. I have fiddled with it and cant seem to get it to reach the cup. (you are right tho it did cut down on the bubbles, and I added the sponge too) I tried...

Sorry to jump into your thread here, but I have the same question. So if she gets the 175 pendants is that all the lighting she needs? and can she put pretty much anything in there?

I will do that today thanks!

Im sorry to BUMP this but I posted it late and was in the hopes that someone/anyone would have info for me??? :help:

OK, I will admit, I have already figured out how I can put a five foot long tank in the wall/cabinetry in my living room. Thought I prolly should master the 29 gal for a few years first. But my theory was that I could just buy a second set of whatever I get for the 29 and reuse the first...
