    My work tank

    I started this little guy about 1.5 months ago at work. Sorry the pics are crappy but it was the work camera and it isn't very good.

    Just Wondering How Many Of You....

    I have a 55 fresh in the bedroom with a 1 angel, 2 little catfish, 5 neons, and who knows how many sword tails now. It was going to be brackish but just never made it there.

    Attack of the brown algae

    How long has tank been up and has anything happened to cause it to cycle or anything? Usually you don't see baby poo algae in established tanks just pop up unless something has happened bad or you don't have a good cleanup crew. Or you just bought someone who ate your crew.... Picture of whats...

    Best flooring choice

    I have seen a couple of people do tile or laminate flooring for the tank area and carpet elsewhere. The best thing seen in my opinion was rock floor in the fish tank area and went into old style hardwood floor. I am not sure where the rock came from or was cut but it looked very nice. On...

    Salt Water Mixing Question

    Maybe I took this to far but I had an old instant ocean 200 gallon salt bucket(I think 7 or 7.5 gallon) and drilled a hole in the side and mounted a blukhead(major sealant required) with an elbow pointing at the bottom. Then I took a powerhead inside and ran 1/2 inch flex hose to the bulkhead...

    puffer ???????'s

    Why? The puffer would do it better than him trying to get them out of the tank. Either that or buy the SWF Store Big Boy Reef package every few months.

    # of fish per gallon

    Interesting thought and to side track the subject, who makes the rules of size tank needed for certian kinds of fish? Some websites recommend certian tank sizes for certian fish. I have noticed some of them to be nuts. For example the mandarin goby. One site had it at 100+ gallons. This is...

    transfering smaller tanks to a bigger tank

    I fully agree I am going from 55 to 125 soon as the 125 cycles. Thats just the rock and not moving anything other than a starfish and some crabs. Best to let the bigger tank get somewhat established before trying to move. My best advice is to take your time an get everything like you want it in...

    125g tank build, need lots of help!

    If you need parts I have some old stuff that you may want. I am attaching a picture of an overflow, I also have a red sea prizim skimmer that is not being used anymore. I do not reccomend it but if you have to have something it works. There are various other things I may or may not have laying...

    The tanks

    Just for the record he is not in the 125 and will never be. He would be too hard to catch. As far as the 125, it is getting done with rock from the 55 and some shrimp that stayed in the freezer to long.

    The tanks

    I am sorry for abusing the little damsel so bad, but at least I didn't throw him in a mini-bow 2.5 and play finding nemo. A few minutes out of Columbia in the lower Lugoff area. Got the salt right finally and took some of the rock from the 55 to get the 125 going. Still have to do the lights...

    The tanks

    Yes VHO and one MH over the rock end. I have to dig out the fans and everything else. It used to be open top with pendants, but now I have cats. I had to get a canopy for it to prevent fishing.

    The tanks

    Most likely do it as a fish only with a porky puffer and a friend or two. Some to make the living room nice looking. Right now it has a yellow damsel that I bought in 1999 and has been in about 12 different tanks to cycle them. I gave him away in 2000 or 2001 and he has came back to me after all...

    The tanks

    First is the 55, it has been going a couple of months and became a rock holder for the 125. Second is the 125 which I put water in today.

    Don't Laugh...but please help with opinion.

    I didn't think of the dilution factor, tank, sump and all the other stuff is an easy 140 gallons. I wondered if it would help cycle it but now that you mention it, that is rather small amount when mixed. Still haven't made up my mind fully though. Thanks

    How long before clowns take to an anenome?

    Not all clowns use all anemonies for hosts. Certian species like certian species. Although your pick is one of the prefered for him, maybe he would use another better. I have had good luck with the Ritteri anemone and both true and false percs. On another note both have carpets as a top choice...
