just use a really thin layer of the sand mentioned above. should work out just fine :)

That sucks. Can't really say anything other than that :) One of the joys of the hobby eh?

Originally posted by arkey.d It sounds like they didn't get properly alcclimated. Indeed. I use specimen containers (large ones) to acclimate mine, they hang on the side of the tank so no risk of it falling, then I drip water into them using airline tubing. Cheers!

Perhaps the tube is clogged and you are not getting enough air to the pump?? I'd check that first, usually is the culprit if you are not getting any bubbles IMO. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply, i am going to see if my Dad has a tripod I can borrow, he used to be into photography a while back. That should fix that problem huh? Cheers! NaCl

Originally posted by toddpolish with that hawkfish I don't think you're gonna have the shrimp for very long. they have been fine for 4 months? i don't remember reading anything about that. sigh... my research is never perfect I always overlook something. :( Cheers!

I'm not sure i understand your question. If you mean where the water comes from it comes from an overflow box on your tank, if you mean the Euro-Reef, it comes w/ everything you need, just plunk it in the sump and plug it in (follow the directions though so you don't break it). Sump basically...

yeah it is the A330... i haven't been able to get a good full tank shot w/out using the flash :( I am a bit of a camera-idiot. Actually more than a bit... Thanks for the compliments! My Hawkfish is my favorite... although my bi-color blenny is awfully cool.... it is probably a tie between those...

not really.. i think the Euro-Reef operates best with 8-9 inches of water (the manual will tell you i think).. so if you make sure you have at least one - the recommended height then you will be ok. My sump originally was designed to have three baffles, but I have since removed the others. i...

the sump doesn't replace the skimmer... it does allow you a wider range of options when deciding what skimmer to buy however. good luck! NaCl

6 - full tank this is w/ just actinics on though it doesn't look like it... i guess i should have turned the other lights in the room off huh? Needs some more color :(

5 - yes there are two cleaner shrimp in that picture somewhere... :)

2 - couldn't really get a good angle on this guy

Here goes, not much color but I finally got a feel for the camera (need a tripod now, this hobby spawns multiple other hobbies which also cost a lot of money lol).

This is mine... kinda messy and the pic is not level because I just took it like 30 seconds ago and wasn't being careful lol : do a search on the board for sump or overflow designs and you will get tons of info. Basically the overflow from the tank is on the right, the return pump is on the...

Originally posted by Thomas712 Once a month or so, or when ever you like, blow your rocks off. Stick a hose on your powerhead output and then take the hose and point it at your rocks and in the crevices. This will blow the detritus right out. That is a great tip! Learn something new every...

Before you jump into HOB if you have the money for that skimmer setting up a sump isn't that far out of the question. Overflow box = $70 Return Pump = $50-100 depending PVC & Supplies = $20 20g fish tank to serve as sump = $40? Never having to see heaters, hob filters or skimmers again =...
