    Is there such a thing as a natural white Long Tentacle Anemone?

    So I purchased a LTA from my local LFS yesterday and it is perfectly white. I've had a rose BTA in the past and this current tank has been established for over a year now, so I felt pretty comfortable dipping back into the anemone swimming pool. The LTA seems fine but I did a little brushing up...

    Was I just ripped off with this AquaC Remora?

    Well I took it back and got a full refund. I'll give them credit for not giving me any hassle with the actual return, but I figured with three trips there I gave them a chance. I called another store in the area and they had one w/ the MJ 1200 for the same price. Not to mention this one wasn't a...

    Was I just ripped off with this AquaC Remora?

    Well according to several online sites, the Remora with the Rio 800 is $155 and the Remora with the MJ 1200 is $165. I paid $189.99 plus tax.... so even with online discounts taken into account I should have at least gotten the MJ 1200. They had no signs or mentioned any distinction when I...

    Was I just ripped off with this AquaC Remora?

    So I bought a Aqua C Remora protein skimmer last night and when I purchased it I asked the clerk twice if the pump was inside the box. He assured me it was so home I went! After the 30 minute drive I got home and promptly opened the box and no pump was found. So I called back and explained the...

    First SW Tank

    Well I may have spoken too soon, both clowns are showing signs of distress with the smaller percula arched on his side on the bottom. Is 0.25 ammonia enough to poison these guys?

    Perc Clown Not Doing Well!

    Ok thanks, will pick up some tomorrow. Looks like it is too late for the smaller clown, he is now arched on his side breathing heavily. Is .25 ammonia really enough to poison a clownfish so quickly? The goby/cleaner shrimp both seem to be doing fine, but at this point I have no idea what is...

    Perc Clown Not Doing Well!

    No carbon, just a Polyfiber pad and a Nitrate Remover pad inside the filter. We did just add the Nitrate Remover padabout 5 day ago.

    Perc Clown Not Doing Well!

    Its an Odyssea 45 gallon tank with the built in filtration system. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the type of filter so I'm including a picture :) Doh!

    Perc Clown Not Doing Well!

    Left out a really important bit of information...we had a BTA that got sucked into our filtration system and killed about a week ago. (Completely our fault for not covering the intake) We cleaned out everything we could find ASAP and did multiple water changes. Does this sound/look like ammonia...

    Perc Clown Not Doing Well!

    Here are some pictures. The first is of the smaller perc clown a few minutes ago and the second is the best picture I could get of the film on the glass. Not sure if they are related!

    Perc Clown Not Doing Well!

    Hey guys, I have two clowns, a sandsifting goby, and a cleaner shrimp. All were fine until I came home this afternoon to find my smaller clown acting lethargic and looking a little paler than usual. He seems to have regained most of his color but is laying on his side now breathing heavily. The...

    First SW Tank

    The Sunpod might work, will do some measurements when I get home from work. One question though, 150w is probably plenty for my sized tank but would the 250w versions cause any problems? We removed the air bubbles today as well, thanks!

    First SW Tank

    This is our first fish tank, which we setup in early September with live sand and later 40 lbs of LR. We added two True Percs and one sandsifting gobie in December. We've been having so much fun watching everything come together over the past few months. We hit a snag a few weeks ago when we...
