Hey folks, I thought I'd share my 20L with you all. I'll have to dig up my notes to tell you when this tank got its start. It's maybe a year old?? I think?? This is just a quick post out of happiness. It's been through a two day power outage this last winter. Which I did nothing to try and save...

Ok, Here goes. I got a new 65 gallon tank. I have committed to the shape of the rocks. I have about 35-40 lbs of dry rock. The small ones on the right side of the tank are done. I still have a little more of the cement work to do on the big pile but, the structure is held together by acrylic...

I have decided to consolidate my hobby into 1 maybe 2 tanks. The main tank (if 2) will be in the living room. We have decided to do a seahorse tank. I have done a little reading and need to do more but, I thought I would ask now and talk with the more experienced on my decision for the tank. I...

I wasn't really sure where to post this so its starting out here. I am hoping to come up with a different treatment for the red bug in a tank. Only reason is, because the Interceptor seems to be a bit allusive for some. I did a thread a while back and got hit pretty hard with the "I have...

So, in the past couple of days I have done a lot in the way of tanks. I've setup a new 20L and a QT for the first fish to go in. My idea is about the dreaded bio balls. Why don't we use them in QT? It would be a great place for the bacteria and wouldn't it help us in the water quality dept...

I have two Clowns in my tank and they have been together for a while now. It seems like they might be starting to become mates. They still sleep apart but when the lights are on they are right there next to each other.   My little one seems to be showing signs of brooklynella. He has a slightly...

Well, I just can't break this itch to start a new tank. Being that I have most of the things needed I decided to setup a 20L. I need another small piece of rock or two. So, lets see how this tank turns out???LOL     I am going to use a PC light fixture that I have. Its a Current USA 2x65 Watt...

This is not a simpthay post by any means. I really like this board and the folks that are on it. This is why I am even posting this at all. I am not to sure if it is just me, and the way I come across or what. So I will do all my reading on the outside. Thank you to, Spanko Meowzer and anyone...

So, if and when they go bad do they start to read all over the place, or will they still read consistantly? Just wrong. Sorry, I have API kits right now. I have had them a while. The reason I am asking is they are being questioned.

So, now that the kitchen remodel is all but done. Just some trim work. The remodel included the dinning room and the living room. We currently have a small media room with the TV in there. We don't want it in there anymore. We would just like to have a sitting room with the fish tank and music...

Ribs Dinner time They just got done resting in this pic. Ready for the eating.

So I thought about it, I just got my first Ro/DI unit. I would like to hook it up in the garage. Here is my questions. Does the temp really make a difference in how the unit performs? I am on a septic so, I wonder about all the waste going into my tank? I don't want a mushy spot in the yard...

Well, I have finally pulled the trigger and started a thread on my tank. I have wanted too for quite some time. The tank is a 29 gallon Bio Cube. I am still running the stock hood and lighting. I am currently running a ATS for the filtration, nothing more. At one point there was the Bio Cube...

I just thought it was kinda cool to see this in my sump area today. I re-scapped the tank and did a water change, I looked inside while I was siphoning the junk off the bottom and saw this in there. It is the largest spong I have in the tank and I can't see it. It is about the size of two half...

So, ever since I bout my LR 2 years ago for my current tank. I have heard a poping sound in my tank. I have never scene the shrimp and it must be a small one at that. I have scene a small claw reach out of one of the holes in my LR and quickly go back in. So it must be the dwarf species. My...

Sorry for the long read. I decided to do a thread on my issue. I have been talking about it in another thread of mine that is really not related to this problem. Last week I noticed my new, and my first Chalice coral starting to "melt" away. I have had the coral about a month.(maybe a little...

So, I think I am a point in my tank with corals that dripping kalk might be a good thing. I have a 29 Bio Cube. I still have the original hood a lighting so my evap isn't much at all.(Possible problem) I have never had any issues in the past with my husbandry techenique. However, I have...

I got a nice piece of candy cane and I want to place it. It only has a stalk for a base. You know like a tree trunk. Only the darn thing didn't come with roots. I tried super glue with no success. I also managed to upset a few of the heads in my attempts. I hope they aren't damaged. I even...

So while staring at the tank a couple nights ago I noticed these guys running around. They are small, maybe half the size of the ball at the end of a ball point pen. Redish in color. I have no idea? Someone suggested flat worm and asked if I could catch a couple of them. So here is the best I...

Ok, so in the last oh ten years the oil standards have been changed by the government to meet enviromental codes and keep catylic converters alive. So what are folks supposed to do, who drive cars that require the older oil that have higher levels of zinc in them. I know this is better served in...
