I've noticed that some people on the different boards I frequent are hesitant to use hexagon tanks with their seahorses, not knowing how they would use their equipment and etc. Our hex is actually a creation of my boyfriend, Nick. He has basically turned it into an all-in-one "nano." We have...

Hi all- Well, after months of wavering back and forth, we decided to do another seahorse tank, but this time we ordered seaponies from ORA - h. Fuscus. A friend who has a fish dealers license ordered two females from ORA, and they arrived yesterday. (The cutest girls in the world, by the way!)...

Okay, so I doubt a bristleworm and a Highfin Goby would have a symbiotic relationship, but check this picture out: I was sitting in front of the tank, feeding the fish, and right next to the Highfin, out comes this HUGE worm. I called for Nick and was like, "Get it out!!" What does he do...

Hi all- Imagine my surprise when I came home from work today to find that my wonderful boyfriend had gotten me two new seahorses (male-female) to replace the ones I lost! They are absolutely gorgeous, and I think the male may even be preggo! If you don't mind, I'd love to get a positive ID on them:

Betty, our female False Perc Our Purple Firefish Our teeny tiny Green Clown Goby Our adorkable Highfin Banded Goby

Not sure if these are bad or not. I noticed them in my pre-filter box, snapped these pics and ran to my computer. Please tell me they are not a problem!!! THANKS!

These two have yet to be ID'd, and I'm not sure if this pic is good enough for an ID, but figured I'd let ya'll give it a try! I've wavered between h. kelloggi and h. erectus, and even h. kuda, but in truth, I'm lost! Anyone?

Ha, well... expensive lesson learned! Today we bought two cleaner shrimp. We wished we could have bought them months ago, when they were only $12 each, but I guess prices have risen on them, and we got them for $24.99... Anyway, after properly acclimating them, we let them loose in the tank...

Hi all! We added MH's to our tank about a week ago, and decided to add our first corals last night. We went to a meeting of our local "fish society" and a fellow reefer gave us free frags of Pulsating Xenia and SPS. We also bought a bright orange Plate Coral. When we added everything last...

I'm selling a wired, 36' ballast with two 30-watt Power Glo's. We had the ballast with no problems in our canopy, and we've switched to MH's, so it's time for them to go. The Power Glo's are about 6 months old, so those don't have to go with the ballast, unless you want them for whatever reason...

Hi all This is the first time I've ventured over to this part of the board... We currently have "skimpy" lighting in our tank: (2) 30 watt fluorescents and (2) 30 watt actinics. We're about to upgrade to a Metal Halide kit: 250 watt, 12,000k kit. Our favorite "fish guy" is giving us a...

Hi all- 55 gallon ph: Steady 8.0 Ammonia: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 10 SG: 1.022 (slowly raising to 1.023 or 1.024) (2) False Percs Midas Blenny Valentini Puffer Pygmy Angelfish Sixline Wrasse I just acquired a gorgeous Mystery Wrasse yesterday from my favorite LFS, as my final fish for this tank...

Okay, so, isn't it the most aggravating thing when you do everything "right" by your tank and you have fish that die or something fails, but then you see someone else who does just about everything wrong, and their tank is (to the eye) thriving? For example: We were by-the-book when setting up...

Okay, so I was standing in front of the tank today as always and my Pygmy Angel swam by, and I noticed that she seemed to be missing a few scales. I gave the fish their evening meal, and she ate like a pig, is very active, and shows no signs of stress. Anything odd about this or anything I can...

Okay, so it's been a while since a Puffer Pic thread. Show me your puffers!! (I'm going out to buy a new cable tomorrow so I can share pics of our Valentini!)

I spent a while searching the forums last night on feeding our newest addition, the Valentini Puffer. Everything said matched what we were told at the LFS, so I'm happy about that That said, I was just wondering...do I put the mussel/clam on the bottom of the sandbed and let the puffer have...

So, Nick and I were at our LFS last night, getting our newest addition (a Valentini Puffer!) and we were talking with one of the associates that we've gotten friendly with about our tank and the tank at Nick's office... We were talking about how our UV Sterlizer has really shown an improvement...

Hi all- I've checked a few things out, and the closest reef club that's near us is in Orlando, three hours away. We know of a few people already here in our local area that are "reefers" and we have decided that we'd like to try our hand at our own reef club. Nick is a web designer and we...

We just got a great frag of Green Star Polyps and while we were told that our lighting is sufficient (two 36'' 35-watt flourescent & two 36'' 35-watt actinics for a total of 140 watts) for our 45-gallon tank, I am a little skeptical and think it's time to upgrade to PC. So, with that said, I am...
