I have attempted to make a page on our website devoted to the common critters we all find in our aquariums. I thought it might be a helpful resource for those trying to identify unknown hitchikers like worms, pods, etc. The list is by no means comprehensive... but it's still a work in progress...

Ok, this really isn't that big of a deal, but I've noticed that in the past few days, my post count doesn't always increase when I make a new post. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. Is this a glitch or is there some new rule about how much you can increase your post count per day? Like I...

I'm so excited, I just had to share.... Today SquishyFish surprised me by taking me out and getting a puppy... something I have been wanting for months. :joy: The newest addition to our family... Dakota... a 7 week old Pomeranian puppy.

I was finally able to get a decent pic of my newest addition. He was added about a week and a half ago, is approx. 10" long and about as big around as my index finger. He eats like a pig!

My 1000th post! :joy: :jumping: :joy: :jumping: Now I have to just figure out what I want to put above my avatar...:thinking:

I just wanted to say congratulations to attml, j21kickster and jacksonpt for their winning entries into the photo contest. :jumping: :cheer: :joy: :jumping: :cheer: :joy:

I currently have a Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse in my 120 gallon... he's about 1.5-2". I have been considering adding a fairy wrasse of some sort sometime in the future. Is there any kind of compatibility problems between these two wrasses?

I've noticed in various pictures of members' foxfaces that some have a black spot on their side and some don't... was just curious about what the difference was. Ours is the spotless kind...

Almost two weeks ago, I added a mated pair of percula clowns to the tank. Right from the start, they were out, active and eating. But then, a couple days ago, they started hiding. I know they aren't dead, because I can see them under a rock outcropping if I look through the side of the tank...

Another sign that I have WAY too much free time on my hands. Here's the 12 Days of Christmas... saltwater style... On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…. 12 Live Rock Pieces 11 Hairy Mushrooms 10 Yellow Damsels 9 Button Polyps 8 Bags of Live Sand 7 LaMotte Test Kits 6 Blue...

Finally getting around to posting full tank pics of my 120 gallon now that it is cycled and has it's first inhabitants. :D

After almost two months of anxious waiting while my 120 gallon tank cycled, I finally got to add some fish! :jumping: I've been trying for days to get a good pic of my new additions with little luck. I still haven't succeeded on getting a "good" pic, but here's a couple mediocre ones... Mated...

Well, I just spent a couple hours revamping the look of our website for our tanks... see what you think. :D Our Underwater World

I wish I could have gotten a picture, but by the time I was able to get the camera, the little guy had disappeared again. He was about the width of a pencil lead, definitely segmented. I'm not sure on the length, as I could only see about an inch of his body. The raised part of the segments...

Ok... I apologize first for the fuzzy picture quality. I still haven't quite got the hang of doing super close up macro shots. Anyway, this little guy hitchiked in on a batch of new zoos and we wanted to know what he was before we put him in the tank. When I first saw the stripes, I thought...

Is a one gallon nano tank even remotely possible or am I just crazy for even considering it? It would be inverts only... no fish or corals. My thoughts: 1-2 inch sandbed Small piece of live rock (or several pieces of "reef rubble") Small carbon filter run by an airpump Cleaner Shrimp Fire...

Ok, since SWF.com increased their avatar size, I have been seeing lots of requests for help with avatars. And in the spirit of community, I'd like to offer my help. So, if you have a pic that you want to use as an avatar but can't because it's too big, feel free to e mail it to me and I'll be...

I got to playing around with my camera today, trying to improve my skills with taking macro shots. Here's what I ended up with....

Ok, after some searching on the board, I am pretty sure I have hydroid jellyfish in my newly established tank. It's been cycling for about five weeks and these little guys started showing up on my glass about a week or so ago. Now, I know they can sting and I know they devour pods... so...

Does anyone know of a site online where bags of Southdown, Old Castle or Yard Right sand can be purchased? So far, my search has turned up nothing and the local stores don't carry any of them. :(
