Hey folks, The (i think) 12 watter on my 3 gal went out and I'm not feeling motivated to fix it. Now I'm just using the standard eclipse factory issue 3 watt bulb and the few mushrooms I have in there seem less than happy. If anyone wants to pick up the tank it's theirs (preferably tomorrow...

I've been trying to track him down. He still owes me money from items he sold for me on consignment, but he closed his shop, told me he'd mail me a check weeks ago and still hasn't. He theoretically sold all my livestock, corals, inverts, rock etc...and the only money he's given me is for 1/2...

Hey all, This has been posted for some weeks over in trading and classifieds, hoping to have more luck here...I've been tearing down my reef and am really at a point where I decisively need to find a new home for my purple tang (most of the corals are sold and many of his creepy crawly friends...

Okay folks, this makes me sad, but really during the recent blackout I discovered my only real source of stress (relating to electricity) was the fish tanks. From vacations to power outages I think I'm just putting too much time and $$ into my tanks, so, sadly my reef and invert tank are for...

Hey all, So my office nano has been up and running for over a month now. Aside from a bit of a cyano spurt (that's getting better every day) the tank is looking great. It's just a 3 gal eclipse system with 3-4 lbs of live rock, a cc bed, 2 snails, and 2 peppermint shrimp (under 13 watts of...

They just finished installing one of those fancy schmancy coffee machine thingies (the ones that custom make the coffee to order and can do mocha, cappuchino, etc...) across the hall from my office--now it's like a 2 step walk for me to get a piping hot cup of cocoa. Posters beware--I'm...

Hey all, Just wanted to give the general update...it's been up and running for a couple weeks now having been started with some live cc, a couple pieces of live rock from my reef and water from my reef. Never did measure any change in ammonia, nitrate or nitrite...I'm hoping that the use of all...

There have been a lot of threads lately on spotfeeding serpent/brittle stars or other similar lines and I just thought I'd pass on a bit of encouragement. When I first got my serpent stars I had a ridiculously hard time target feeding them. I never knew where they were or when to feed...

Hey--I've retrofitted in a 13 watt pc in my 3 gal office nano...(yes I'm an engineering grad student and my other engineering office mates and I are stumped on this one--please, no engineer light bulb jokes :) )...but the reflector I epoxied (using marine epoxy) to the ballast--however it's not...

hey all...i'm currently cycling a 3 gal eclipse nano at my office. i'm retrofitting in a 13 watt 50/50 pc bulb and it's got a cc bed and about 4-5 lbs of live rock (taken straight out of my reef/invert system)...the numbers are already testing at zero (after one week)...but i want to play it...

Not sure if this thread is allowable. If not, I apologize in advance and i completely understand, mods, if you choose to delete it. However, while I would love to purchase captive bred ponies from swf.com as I have had nothing but good experiences in purchasing from this site, it appears that...

One of my frogspawn is looking bad--well, part of it, one of the lower branches today completely receded to the skeleton. Now the second branch next to it is receding but the first branch looks like it's starting to extend again. All water params are good I think (latest results posted below)...

I see JBJ makes an 18 watt 11" long clip on light. But I can't seem to find anyone making an 18 watt 11-12" retrofit light. (Basically I'm trying to figure how much light I can put in an Eclipse 3 gal tank hood--and 12" is the width limit). Any suggestions? thanks, leigh

anyone have any experience with these? contemplating getting one but want to make sure it'll get along with my two other big hermits in my invert tank. -leigh

here's some tank pics anyhow (one of these days i'm gonna spring for a macro lens :rolleyes: ) :D http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lsmccue/fish/

Sadly my cleaner shrimp moved on to shrimp heaven this morning. (Not quite sure why, he looked fine and all water params are dandy--I think it's just one of those things--he's been kinda spazy the last couple days so I think perhaps he had a parasite of some sort). Anyhow, while my fish load...
