    LFS Rant

    Sounds like they have been doing this to get more money from people on purpose.. Who knows, they may have an identical fish like it in a back room tank and just tell you they had to get it out of there, then they get the extra money. Thus the reason they had 2.. in there.. You never know and...

    New 28G Nano Cube for Horses :)

    I use that in my 29 gallon aquarium which is not the Nano cube one like you bought. That air pump is totally LOUD as all get out! Replaced it, found the lil filter pad on the bottom of the new one and dust would clog the lil pad where the air goes in. I pulled it in half and keep it cleaned...

    Lawn Mower Blenny wont come out

    Talked to my husband and he said not to worry bout it.. All you can do is try and do what we can do. I dont mind him being in there so long as he eats. I was just worried he would waste away. When he did come out those times, it was to get a quick bite off the glass. Lil mouth marks are on...

    Lawn Mower Blenny wont come out

    I bought a LMblenny from the LFS about a week ago and he is still insisting on staying in the rock. I had seen him on about 4 occasions biting at the back glass algae. But now, I dont see him come out anymore at all. The store says they will swap with me but I will be sick if I have to break...

    Starting a 29 gal Reef

    Thanks for the nice responses. I know its pushing it.. May have to wait a while on the corals then and just focus on the FOWLR. Ill still get a T5 for the rock and the health of the fish. I have had 3 FO tanks before and they did great! So, until I get the right stuff I will go slow. Its...

    Starting a 29 gal Reef

    oh ok.. I did a search and it seems everyone talking about it on google is freshwater people. I guess that you are correct. They say it is still not enough for planted fresh water systems. I guess it will need to be changed to a T5. I just need to know if the one light hood that came with...

    Ammonia/Nitrate problems in second hand tank!! Please help!

    Was the new rock cured? If it wasnt you never place uncured live rock in an already established tank. It starts its own cycling and raises the pollution in the tank even more.
