First fish in the qt, he's awesome, about 2 inches, full of energy and ate a little nori, now bedtime for him. Bought him right out of the drip bucket at my lfs and brought him home and dripped him again poor thing.

Have a question. I'm running gfo and carbon, gfo gets rid of phosphate. I want to run biopellets to help with my nitrates but they also remove phosphate, is this ok?

Lol aint that the truth!! Maybe i'll just get one then! Also like one trained to eat frozen foods, always like a backup plan.

Lol :D thx! How have you been pegasus? That would be a no, he/she was a total surprise, along with the little slipper lobster that rode along with him. Still haven't gotten a 100% id on the guy either, just know Blenny is a blenny lol, great name huh :).

payday is 4 days away that means so are the fish lol. Hurry up! Next on the list hopefully this month a cal reactor, should be the last big ticket item i need unless we have a hot summer here then i'll need a chiller, but one thing at a time.

Thank you

got my rock and sand from tampa bay saltwater. Ya i just have to pick the other fish i want in there. I know i'm getting a flame angel but it's going in last, manderin for sure but i'd like to wait till i can get a bonded pair (have so many pods i'm not worried about that). Just taking my time...

hehe been clean like that for almost nine months, not to hard to keep it that way.

Not sure yet, been looking for a couple weeks trying to decide. Pair of clowns first i know, ive got 2 bubble tip nems that came with my rock already in the tank that are doing great, but i want a bigger one so thats on the list also. Getting my cal reactor next month i hope so im holding off on...

Sorry I have not updated but life has a way of getting in the way of things :). Tank is doing great (still have not bought a fish for it yet though lol) but at least I know it's ready for them. I finally got my qt up and running last week so fish are coming in March, yay, I also upgraded my...

Thing flipped over looked at me and took off lol. Three or four small ones swam out as I was prodding the thing out of the hole. I was trying to be gentle because I didn't know for sure what it was.

Ok it's a big one lol, I nudged it out of the hole, little ones came out also, and my sister with the net missed lmao, hunting tonite. Half inch long, kinda freaky lol.

If you think you have Cirolanid isopods, be sure to check out the pictures of the Sphaeromatid isopods in this article. They are commonly mistaken for Cirolanid isopods when people first discover them in their aquariums, but Sphaeromatids are beneficial scavengers that should remain in your...

A 3'x12' space is a bit confining, but very doable. This frees up stand space for test kits, food, locking grandchildren in, and such. I hope to own an apex someday, but I can only imagine there's quite a learning curve to using it properly. I'm sure there are some pros around here who can...

Can't blame you... a dislodged hose can cause a lot of water damage and a fried pump. That's the reason I drilled my 40B rather than using a siphon type overflow box. Better safe than sorry. Weather here in MS can go from teens in winter, to 100F in the summertime. I notice a fluctuation of 1-2...

I'm not sure if that's a compliment... or an insult! LMAO!!! Living in the rural South and working on commission in this stagnant economy makes it a little difficult to do things the way I want. I'd love to be able to set up my tank (a little) differently, but I'm on a very tight budget. It's...

I wasn't sure what that was ahead of the pump... I thought it may have been a fancy shutoff valve. LOL! A pre-filter will help, that's for sure. I hope your water is cleaner than mine, because I have to change sediment filters about every three months! GRRRR!!!  Yeah, I thought 1" gap across the...

I have to apologize... I am a total idiot at the end of a long day. After a good night's sleep, I realized I made a terrible error in my formula (see above). The time it takes to fill a gallon is NOT DIVIDED by 60, but rather MULTIPLIED by 60. I didn't realize what I had written until I tested...

I have a prefilter before the pump, i hope that's enough. I read up on the booster before I got it lol, I made the mistake of just ordering the ro unit without reading about chloromines first, so I made 100g of fresh ro water then read that ventura has chloromines in the water. Lol wasn't happy...

So far it's been dropping .1 every 2 days.
