    Relocated

    Hello. I just moved to central Texas, 20 miles south of Austin into a small city called Kyle. I used to live in Orange County CA and was spoiled by all the saltwater resources/stores. Does anyone know of any good stores in my area? Any leads are greatly appreciated.

    Sump Pump Dilemma

    I recently replaced 2 submerged sedra 12000 pumps that were powering my overflow with 1 Iwaki Magnate pump. The Sedra pumps each max out at 1200 gal/ hr. Whereas the Iwaki max at 35.6 /min. I replaced the submerged pumps for 2 reasons. 1. Create more space in my sump. 2. To reduce heat they...

    does this sound good?

    sounds like a domino damsel. Should be fine. They are territorial and a bit aggressive. May limit your options for putting in new fish.

    cAPTURED mANTIS pIC

    I set my tank up last June 03. About a month ago I heard the clicking sound so eventually I was able to spot him and where I believed he was hiding/living. I removed the rock, he crawled out and now I have him in a 30 gal qt tank where I plan to keep him. Problem is finding inexpensive live food...

    cAPTURED mANTIS pIC

    I have a 30 gal hex OT tank with crushed coral in it. I also have 2 black mollies in there. Not to sound morbid but I got the mollies to cycle the tank about 6 weeks ago.
