Well, my live sand and rock are in my master bathtub with a powerhead and a heater in it. I figure it's like curing it right? That's all they do to the rock at the LFS, put it in a dim tank with a powerhead and heater.... Maybe it will come out looking prettier? I went to Wally and bought a 20...

Just added Phytoplankton, Copepods, CUC, one fish, and cleaner Shrimp to my tank this past week. Needless to say, not cheap! Only to find water pouring everywhere from my tank this morning. The tank somehow cracked in a straight line right across the bottom. 150 gallons of water going...

Anyone??

Oh, OK :0) I was just curious as to why it would effect one and not the other..... Thanks for explaining it..

In the acclimation guide for fish, it states that one should never put an airstone into the water with the fish/inverts because the air bubbles cause a spike in PH and Ammonia........ So how is it that Protein Skimmers do not have the same effect on the saltwater in your tank??? They are...

Thank You. I will make sure I am buying a Black Percula... I have been pretty adamant about that, since they seem to have better pigmentation. They are more expensive, but oh well! :) How to make sure I have a male and female?? Is there a way to sex them??

I just put some Aragocrete base rock in my tank last night. To guard against an ammonia spike I put an ammonia blocking-infused media pad into my trickle filter at the same time... At the time I bought the media I was thinking about the fact that my nitrate load was pretty well handled by my...

I want to purchase a pair of clowns for my tank in the not-too-distant future. I am a creature of habit when it comes to wanting to be different as well. I was going to just buy Black Perculas. But then I saw the Platinum Percula's. Gorgeous!! What to do, what to do.......... Then it hit me...

Powder Blue has my vote for the prettiest fish ever! Tell your wife she has good taste!

I've got a new 150 gallon tank up and going. It has about 30 gallons worth of sump and refugium. Hubby and I got to talking and we would really like to plumb this tank into the basement so that we can have a much bigger sump and refugium, an automatic top-off, and a frag tank going down there...

It looks like it was just a piece of natural loofah that was cut to fit into the overflow box. I rinse it out every week to remove any debris it collects...

What does V-dose mean?

OK, now you've got me sitting around dreaming of my favorite fish, all which I've kept successfully in a community tank, so I'll share a few more suggestions: Yellow Assessor Blue Assessor Black Cap Basslet Fridmani Pseudo Chalk Bass Catalina Goby

I have caulerpa in my fuge but am having problems with it constantly breaking off traveling through the baffles and into my pump. Every day I am pulling clumps of it off of the pump......
