    Tank kinda not lookin so good!

    thats a good idean, Im gonna have to give it a try and see if it will fit under the hood. Hopefully it will. I tried a sheet of acrylic, and it lasted for a while and worked too...although after a few months it began to warp I think due to gravity/the heat from lights. Thanks for the imput

    Brand/Model recommendations?

    I really like my 12 gallon Aquapod. Honestly the all in one setups are really nice to get started, the only thing is though, sometimes I wish I had a larger tank. Nano tanks are really nice if you don't have a whole lot of room, if you do have the room though a larger tank would allow you to...

    No, I know exactly where your coming from. Its not that I thought it funny that he gets back there, I just have tried I don't know how many times to get him out. Its not the first time he did that...It seems that at night time when he sleeps (he sleeps up toward the top of the tank) he would...

    Tank kinda not lookin so good!

    Another question...its interesting to me, Why would the snails be the first creatures to show signs of a problem in water quality? All of my corals remain unaffected for the most part, but I did lose some snails?

    Tank kinda not lookin so good!

Second, no one here is going to tell YOU the truth so I guess Ill have to... hate to break it to ya buddy, but a dog is a little more important to me than a...

    Tank kinda not lookin so good!

    yeah I kinda figured....dang, it was looking really good until I had to move the tank, then it went really downhill when I got busy. I hate seeing something like that tank go downhill, but I just didn't have the time for a little while. I hate to say it but it honestly probably went almost 4...

    Tank kinda not lookin so good!

    Okay, So I know this is all my fault haha, but Im not gonna complain about it. Long story short...A few months ago, I had to move my tank to another room in the house. Between the move and a busy college schedule, and a new puppy (plus a bunch of other distractions) my poor tank went downhill...

    Nano maintains itself

    My 12 gallon tank has a clown, diadem pseudochromis, and several lps and soft corals. it practically ran this way for about a year with zero problems(I was having trouble finding time to do water changes, sad, i know haha) ....then about 2 months ago it went downhill when I transfered the tank...

    I have always wanted a local tank (im from pa so theres no ocean....but we go to delaware/maryland alot). this year i finally did it. I started out with a bunch of small gobies, a northern clingfish, a pipefish, some random minnows, hermits, snails, and 2 baby oyster toad fish. The largest...

    introducing new clownfish

    i have a 12 gallon aquapod that has a 2 1/2 inch ocellaris clownfish. i assume that she is a female because she has been in the tank for almost 2 years now. my lfs has some baby ocellaris that are about a half inch in length. i want to eventually get one to try to pair with my existing female...

    introducing dirty lr to a clean tank?

    i currently have 3 tanks and i will be getting rid of two of them because im moving rooms and it'll be easier to care for just one tank. my problem is that i would like to keep the live rock from the other to tanks and put it in the tank im keeping to add more filtration. some of the rocks im...

    Fish Only or FOWLR? Filtratation?

    live rock and good flow are important. try to buy as much live rock as possible, but dont hesitate to put base rock in there too....it will eventually become live as well. imo the more flow the better. ive heard nothing but good things about the skimmer your buying. if it were my tank i would...

    diy live rock

    i was thinking of making some diy live rock over the christmas break to give me something to do. ive never done a project like this before but it seems pretty simple. the only thing is that the rock needs to be cured for several weeks in water with some sort of flow untill the pH lowers. i dont...

    Mantis Shrimp

    mantises dont eat corals and they are reef safe. they may eat fish and other inverts but not coral. in a ten gallon you could comfortably house a smaller species and you wouldnt have to worry about the glass breaking. only larger species even have the capability to break glass. with corals they...
