    Hope your fish are not afraid of heights...

    Check this out - it's called The SpaceAquarium. Zero functionality, but so odd yet cool that I had to share. http://www.thecmacblog.com/2008/01/w...deathtrap.html

    Water Clarity

    I'm sure even how to explain this, but here goes... My water is not "crystal clear" as it is filled with tiny particles - I can't even photograph them because they are too small. It's not so much cloudy as it just isn't clear. I turned off the powerhead for a while, so I can rule out...

    Thanks for making the game interesting, but just not enough to beat the Celtics 8-0

    New 12G Aquapod

    A few pictures. I had some live rock left from when I broke down my old tank, then I bought 1 new peice to try to kick start the rest of it. Tank is only a week old, so the pictures are kind of boring with not much going on - unless you're a fan of diatom algae then some of these pictures are...

    Too much/little live rock?

    Just started my tank back up - 29g - it finished it's cycle about 2 months ago, but the lack of time i've had to set up a QT is keeping my from buying any livestock yet. I had planned on FOWLR but since my live rock started with one lone button polyp - 1 month later there are six, maybe i should...

    Just when things were going well...

    I keep my RO water in a 5 gallon Poland Springs bottle that is clearly labeled so nobody uses it in the water cooler. However - I did my usual water change today and when i finshed i noticed that the bottle that i should have been using was still full. To make a long story short I topped off...

    NO to VHO

    Anybody know how to change a regular aqurium hood so it can run VHO bulbs? I tried to just put them in and see if they would work, but they just flicker.

    I don't know what happened?

    I was moving a piece of rock in my tank and I think I may have injured my brittle star. Three days later all my fish seem to having a hard time breathing, they wont eat, and they don't swim very strong. Is it possible the star may have leaked some sort of toxin into the tank???? I just don't...

    OT very impressed

    While looking around on this board I have seen many great pics of people tanks so I went out and bought my first digital camera. Not wanting to break the bank I picked the Canon PowerShot A40. If anyone is familiar with cameras could you guys let me know if this is a decent camera of was it a...

    rusty sand

    I have this rust colored stuff all over my sand bed. It disappears when the lights go out, because it isn't there first thing in th AM when the lights come on. However after about an hour or two it starts to show up faintly and by the end of the day it almost covers all the sand. I don't...

    kind of stupid question.

    I have a 29g and I recently switched from CC to a DSB. I only have 85 watts of light and my question was....Does this actually put me in a better situation because now my tank is 12" deep instead of 16"?

    switched to sand

    I switched from CC to DSB, now I have mesh bags in the tank filled with the CC. How long should they stay in?

    Here goes nothing

    I'm sitting here staring at 2 50lb bags of southdown sand with my insructions on making the swirch from cc to dsb. Somehow I don't think this is going to be fun. Maybe I need a pep talk, why am I doing this again?

    How am I going to do this?

    I'm going to make the switch this weekend from CC to DSB. What is the best way to do this without making a terrible mess? I have a 29g with 50lbs of liverock. The only livestock in there are 4 or 5 turbo snails a CBS and a blue damsel that I've been trying to catch and get rid of anyway. I...

    algae problem

    Every time I fix one problem another one starts up. Now I seem to have all of this lite green stuff starting to cover the CC. I finally got rid of all the hair algae, now this starts up. Maybe I should just leave it and start and algae tank. Of course with my luck if I did that no algae...

    CC to DSB?

    would it be possible to switch from CC to DSB? If so, how cloudy would the tank get and how long would it stay that way? I have a 29G with 45 lbs of live rock a CBS and some turbo snails.....also a pain in the neck blue damsel that can't seem to be caught.
