Yeah, I just bought the all the acrylic cleaners, polishes and scrapers this morning along with a GOOD magnet and an RO/DI system! thanks to my new favorite online store ;) I should be good to go now!

I have been so busy with life I have not had much time for my tank! Here are pictures...I know it is dirty, my magnet finally died and I guess I will have to break down and buy a good one! Any suggestions? Remember its acrylic! I also had Joe make me a light set up, I plan to do a few...

No way it jumped out you are right about that! Ammonia is fine right now. Yes I have lots of live rock about 200 lbs and a pretty good clean up crew, So I should just leave it alone or start moving rocks?

I have a 4 inch Naso Tang that I have not seen since Wed. night? I have looked everywhere and can't find her? (dead or alive) She even missed feeding time! It's like she jumped to another tank or something! Should I assume she is dead? or do they often just hide out for a long time...

how much wattage would I need? This is how I get so mixed up

I have read everything I can find on lighting set-ups and I still can figure it out! I feel like my head is going to burst! I have a 4 foot long and 3 foot high tank. I have fowlr right now but I want to keep a few softies too. I know it will be hard to keep anything near the bottom but I...

My dad is really cool about my hobby! He has a 20,000 gallon Koi pond in his backyard and I picked on him saying "Dad get A POOL!" He loves that I am into the fish thing! He wants to start a saltwater but is too busy with his pond so he lives vicariously (bad spelling) through me! The rest...

here are the pics as you can see I made the Aquascape much taller this time!, I am hoping to get a new camera for Christmas! Oh yeah and I changed the background to black! I like it much better!

Just an update... Everyone was right about the Damn-sel she was a bully and tonight I caught her, I have only been trying 2 week! I finally just took out all the rocks and cornered her. Everyone else is GREAT. I have a Hawaiian Blue Puffer Blonde Naso Tang Rectangular Trigger Mandarin...

Renogaw, I bought a 1000 live copepods and added most of them to the DT, I am breading some of them in my small 20 gal. I have 200 lbs of LR in the Dt that came from an established aquarium and I assume already had some copepods living there already. We are on day 4 and he looks great! I Love...

My 2 year old wanted a Nemo and that was my biggest reason for starting the saltwater hobby! a few months later I bought him his own little 5 gallon freshwater for his room and 1 single $0.10 goldfish to start... he calls the goldfish NEMO too! Sure could have saved a lot of money!!

Yes we name them but only after they have been with us for about a month! (that way we know they will stick around a while) My kids pick out the names my favorites are "Hermie and Himie" the hermit crabs! We have had them almost 2 years. MOST EVERYTHING ELSE IS A NAME FROM NEMO!

Renogaw, I use to like you...not anymore!! You are so lucky to be having a little girl!! 5 boys later and my husband still can't get it right! You will never do anything in your life that will be as wonderful and as rewarding as being a parent. Even changing diapers, although it might not...
