I bought an Oceanic BioCube 14 a few months back and now one of the external ballasts has gone bad. Apparently Oceanic customer service is non-exsistent because I can never get a hold of anyone and can't get a response to my emails. What I need is the replacement 24 watt ballast for the BioCube...

Here's some pics of my new dog Kenya. The guy I got her from says she is a German Shepard/wolf hybrid of some kind, but so far I'm only seeing German Shepard. What do you guys think?

Hey all. I've got a new 14 gallon BioCube set up for about a week now. All my levels are fine except for my calcium, which is at about 520 ppm. Can anyone tell me how to bring this down? Here's the rest of my parameters: Temp: 80 F SG: 1.0235 pH: 8.3 Alk: ~200 ppm NH3: 0.25 NO2: 0 NO3: 0 Ca: 520...

Hey all...it's been a while since I've been on this forum...moving and such. Well I've just got an Oceanic BioCube 14 and set it up and I thought I would share a few pics. I'm open to suggestions for corals to keep in it and any other tips on scaping ;) She's PISSED she can't get into this...

I am thinking about setting up a tank (well probably more of a big rubbermaid) for the sole purpose of maturing live rock. What are the best ways to set this up in your opinions? Here's what I'm thinking would be required:Rubbermaid tub Good HOB filter (Penguin or AquaClear?) protein skimmer...

Earlier today I posted a question as to what tools users of this site like to use. I inadvertently posted the name of a particular site, which I did not intend to do, and which was NOT a link. Nor was I asking for links, I wanted people to tell me what they thought of certain tools (generalized)...

When you're researching a tank, or just surfing in general, what kinds of online tools (ie tank volume calculators or conversion tools) do you use the most? What are some that you wish you could find but can't? I'm trying to put together a directory of sorts of the most useful online tools for...

Does anyone know how to calculate how much sand you need to get a certain depth given the length, width, and lbs/cubic foot? I just need the formula...I know there's sites out there to do it for you, but I need it to try putting together something. Thanks all.

So I'll be moving fairly soon and I want to get a saltwater setup (FOWLR) in the new house. Here's my current idea, but I would like some suggestions. I would like a 75 gallon main tank with 40-50 lbs of LR and a 2-3" sand bed. I'd also like to house a 20 gallon refugium underneath for a...

I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I have a 10 gallon glass aquarium with a 200W heater. Usually it kicks on at night becuase the temp drops slightly, but I've never had a problem with my temp being unstable at all. Almost always right at 78-80 degrees F. This morning when I woke...

I need some help finding a fish to be compatible with my new sharp-nose puffer. I got him about 2 weeks ago and he does NOT get along with my damsel. I think the damsel is too aggressive, but the puffer just nips the heck out of him. So..... What would be a good smaller fish to get with this...

I have a yellow-tailed blue damsel that I used to help with cycling my tank and he got territorial. I got a sharp-nose puffer a few weeks ago and they DO NOT get along. I hate to see him leave, but I'd hate even more for him to be nipped to death. So..... THIS ONE IS FREE TO A GOOD HOME! Let me...

Is there any way to promote coraline algae growth? If so, how? Also, how long should it take for this brown diatom to be replaced? It first showed up about a week or so ago. I've had the tank up for a month now and it has had the damsel, crab, and snails for about 2 1/2 weeks. Lastly, it looks...

So I bought a 10 gallon setup about a month ago with the intention of keeping a few small saltwater fish to get me practiced up for a bigger one later on this year. However, now that I'm reading more and more, I think I may actually want to move into doing a mini-reef with it. I have a hang-on...

So I recently got a new saltwater experiment aquarium and thought I'd run it by for some opinions. The set up is a 10 gal with a hanging power filter, 75 watt heater, a nice little hood with some CFLs for lighting. I have crushed coral as the substrate (you can all boo now), 4 lbs of live rock...
