    Nasty Hitchhiker?

    Ok, now I have heard of fish disappearing because something ate them when the lights were turned out. In fact i have lost two chromis and a domino damsel. I figured they must have swam into my condy. But the other day my chocolate chip starfish(which I was going to get rid of anyways)...

    Condy/Coral Beauty relationship

    Maybe he does need therapy. Heres the real kicker though. It is not like he has no place to hide. Their are numerous caves and crevices in the LR. It seems like the Condy like him also. He is always in full dislplay when the Coral Beauty is near him.

    Condy/Coral Beauty relationship

    Has anybody witnessed this before? My Coral Beauty has decided that my Condy is his best friend. The Coral Beauty swims in and out of the oustretched arms of the anemone. He also sleeps at night right beneath the Condy. I think I have a messed up fish. It is funny to watch though!!!

    Southdown / Southern Maryland

    Thanks for the info. Down here in S. MD there is not many resources for us to utilize. I guess I will have to see what I can find up closer to the city. I am going to call some local AG stores tomorrow and see if I can find some of the southdown sand. Wish me luck.

    OT kinda: Baltimore National Aquarium

    Went to the Baltimore Aquarium last February. It is great. They had a special seahorse exhibit, dont know if it is still there though. Admission is not cheap but it is well worth it.

    Covering tank with glass divider

    Thanks, I read alot of posts from the past where people said they did not use covers so I thought maybe that was a good idea. I have a 75 gallon and I am worried that there is not enough gas exchange at the surface because the glass cover is keeping any air from reaching the tank. I have two...

    Covering tank with glass divider

    Quick Question. Do you need to place glass covers between the water and the lights if you have fish that dont jump out? Or is this bad for the lighting. I have glass between the water and the lights right now and the glass is covered with salt residue. I was thinking this may be having an...

    Water Circulation

    I have a 75 gallon tank which I want to convert into a reef tank down the road. I have two Emperor 280 Biowheel filters on the back of the tank do you think this will create enough circulation in the tank to keep deadspots at a minimum. Does anybody else use Emperor 280 Biowheel filters...

    Actual Wattage

    I have two 55 watt power compact lights. I heard that Power compact lighting is actually 3 or 4 times stronger than regular wattage. Does this mean that instead of 110 watts, I should consider my lighting at 330 watts? Probably a dumb question but I guess I need to know. 75 gallon 2 55 watt...

    Maryland fish stores?

    I just moved to southern Maryland, and have a 75 gallon tank. Their is only one LFS and they are ourtrageously priced. They want $6 a pound for "premium live rock" but it is really base rock. Anybody here know of any good places to get some decent products in the Maryland/DC area. Thanks!

    green chromis dissappeared?

    I lost a green chromis, and a domino damsel in one night. I have never found them and that was six months ago. I had nothing else in the tank (no LR or decorations). Truly baffled.
