    In memory of Misty...

    I'm sad to say that my cat Misty passed away Friday evening. We think it was just old age - she was a couple weeks shy of 15, but in great health. It happened all of a sudden. I will miss her greatly. I still walk through the house expecting her to be waiting for me...in the library, at the...

    Fish finally arrived - question on acclimating

    I finally got my first order from SWF.com! I'm excited about my fish (but slightly annoyed at FedEx). I got a lionfish, foxface, SFE and a coral banded shrimp (I only have a maroon clown and a chocolate chip star right now, who have been alone for almost a year). I have been waiting since...

    Chocolate Chip starfish question

    I have a question about feeding my chocolate chip star. From reading this site, I was under the impression that I have to spot feed a piece of shrimp, krill, silversides or something like that (even though the guy at the LFS I bought him from said he doesn't do that, that the star just eats...

    Fish finally...and a LFS

    I finally have fish in my aquarium! :jumping: I just got back from a LFS (well, almost 1 hr away) that I finally got a chance to check out. Small but nice store. They only sell fish. In the marine section, they have 3 reef tanks...one tank had a pair of 6" clarkii clowns and 3 other fish...

    Ignored tank no longer!

    I have FINALLY recovered from my broken leg enough to start playing with my aquarium :joy: (although I still have a lot further to go - especially with being able to bend my knee)! Anyway... the first thing I did was test my water conditions to see where they were at. Surprisingly, they were...

    I'm back - with a broken leg

    I just got back on here yesterday, after almost 2 months. My daughter & I were in a car accident on Dec. 4 (car was totalled). Fortunately, she just had bumps & bruises, but I have a fractured tibia plateau (very top of the bone right behind the knee). I had to be airlifted to a hospital near...

    refractometer for Christmas

    My husband told me he would get me a refractometer for Christmas! (but i have to order it. ). I suggested one after he was out shopping with my brother & spent a lot of money-including a new widescreen LCD computer monitor for himself, but didn't find much for me. LOL, too bad they don't...

    yet another fish compatibility question

    I apologize for asking yet another fish compatibility question, but I can't figure out what is best just by reading. I have a 120 gal AGA aquarium that is 48"x24"x24". There is only 1 brittle star in the tank at the moment, from a leftover cleaning crew. (My last fish, a tomato clown, died...

    return pump question

    Hi everyone! This is my first post, even though I have been reading this message board every chance I get for about the past month. I have a couple questions that I can't figure out by just reading (although, maybe I missed the information somewhere). I will post my other question in the...
