    BT in a 14g biocube?

    I have two small clowns in a 14g biocube. Anyone have a small BT anenome in one? One picks on the other all the time and I'm wondering if the BT would speed up the change process.

    Upgrading to a new 180 from my very established 90....lots of questions!

    I just successfully upgraded from a 75 to 125 but could not run both tanks at the same time because I was putting down new carpet. I put all new sand in the 125, filled it with RO water, set everything up, and then moved all the live rock and inhabitants at the same time. I put some of the...

    Finally Caught the Big Bristle Worm!!!

    Finally caught him last night and moved him down to the refugium. You can see him in this video. He's about 16inches. I really didn't want to kill him, but I think he's the reason I don't have any cleanup crew. Now he can hang out on his own. Oh, I'll probably need to fee him...

    Refractometer VS Hydrometer

    Quote: Originally Posted by tur4k I bought my refractometer at my LFS. They actually had a pretty decent selection. I personally will never use a hydrometer again. Bubbles have a nasty habit of sticking to the needle of cheap plastic hydrometers. This throws the reading way off...

    Is this stocking option overcrowded?

    My flasher wrasse jumped out. Huge loss as he had a lot of personality.

    What is this?

    It looks like a decomposing fish head. Did you lose anything lately?

    Bigger tank again.

    Glad you have a new one. If you don't have a skimmer, you really need to get one. That will go a long way helping the canister. Welcome!

    Is this stocking option overcrowded?

    I've only had 5 fish in my 75 for the past several years. I think 11 is probably too many.

    Tank Upgrade Shopping List and Questions

    I got a 12 (well, equivalent to a 12 - it's rated at 1200gph) so hope that's enough. And, I see you're from Pittsburgh, Eric B. My wife and I moved to San Antonio from Pittsburgh in 2005. It's so much warmer here.
