Dumb question but I did this to my first two clowns that I had in my QT so....do you have a powerhead in there? Mine were fine for the first day but when I got home from work the next day one was dead and the other was bobbing at the surface for air. By the time I figured out what was wrong...

Looking to sell my Maxijet 1200 for $20.00. I live in the Philly area and would prefer pick up. I would also like a small cup of live sand to help seed my new tank if I can get it, so the first one to offer that would go to the head of the list. The powerhead is about three months old and I...

OK Updated fishlist: 4 blue green chromis 2 clowns 1 foxface 1 flame angel 1 6 line wrasse 1 royal gramma 1 neon goby Is this to much for a 72 gallon tank?

OK, did some reading today and the eel is definately out. It will eat my crabs and shrimp which I would rather have. So after some reading I figured on a purple psuedochromis to finish off my list. My list: 1 Purple psuedochromis 2 clowns 1 foxface 1 flame angel 1 6 line wrasse 1 royal gramma...

Great! Now that I have a fish list I need to figure how many fish I could keep in a 72 gallon tank. What exactly is the bioload of an eel? My fish list for now would be: 2 clowns 1 foxface 1 flame angel 1 6 line wrasse 1 royal gramma 1 snowflake eel To much, to little, will they get along...

I can put an eel in my tank! Very cool. It will not harm the shrimp and snails? Also I thought triggers were aggresive fish and I am trying to make it more a community tank. That would be great if I could though, I really like their look. Instead of a fairy wrasse would a six line wrasse...

This is my first saltwater tank. I have a 72 gallon bowfront FOWLR tank that just finished cycling. Now that I am past the equipment buying stage its on to the livestock. I have been adding snails in in groups of ten and will eventually get a pair of cleaner shrimp but the thing am having a...

The person never showed up for the rock so it is still for sale.

Next Sunday would be perfect. I was planning on doing a water change so bring a bucket with a lid and I could give you the rocks and the water so there will not be much die off. Email me at Alaw154289@aol.com

I have about 20 lbs of live rock fully cured for sale in the King of Prussia area. $3.00 lb, pick up only.

Originally Posted by watson3 I would say that when the water is settled it just gets a temp reading from around the heater..When you start circulating, that warm water is not just sitting around, it is moving, causing it to not be so warm near the thermostat..If you turned on a fan in your house...

72 gallon bowfront FOWLR. The temp started out around 70 then I got it up to around 75 when I turned on the powerheads and its been holding steady at 85 ever since. I have the two powerheads on the lower extreme left and right on the back of the aquarium a emperor 400 HOB filter and aqua remora...

I am just starting up my aquarium. I have added the sand and base rock and was using my heaters to get my temp up to 80. As soon as I turned on my Maxijet 1200 (2 + 1 for my protein skimmer) the temp shot up to 85 where it has been holding steady. I turned both my heaters to their lowest...

I got my aqua c remora. I was shocked that there were no mechanical parts to it except for the powerhead that came with it.

Looking for some glue/epoxy to hold my live rock together. I went to a craft store to see what they have and I found one called perfect glue 3. It says it is waterproof but then I started thinking that doesnt mean I should be putting this stuff in my water. Has anyone found any glue/epoxy...
