    Leave of absence is over!

    I'm back in the hobby -- I hope! I had to break down my 180 a few years ago after Sandy destroyedit. I used the funds to purchase a beautiful setup (I think so anyway) - which has never been set up. I'm about to embark on this project but need a bit of advice. I'm now in Westchester (instead...

    Copper??!?!!?

    Hello everyone! I haven't posted in forever and ever, hope everyone that is still around is doing wel. I need some thoughts and help -- I've downsized my 180 and am moving to a 57 gallon Edge. In the inbetween time, I've moved some rock, my three remaining fish and a few softies into my old...

    24" Current Satellite CF light fixture

    Cleaning out the attic and found this! It's in great shape. I used it on a quarantine tank years ago. It's a double bulb fixture -- one of the actinics needs to be replaced, the daylights are fine. Moonlight works as well. Pickup preferred, but I can ship at your expense. $60 - I'm in River...

    Chiller Time

    :'( So, one hot day, my tank hits over 86 degrees while I'm at work. I came home to a cloudy, murky tank and 100+ heads of frogspawn with no polyps on them. My old tank would get warm with the hot weather, but nothing like this -- a guess a combination of more water and hotter lights took the...

    Clowns are amazing..

    My husband's Red Sea Max housed a clown for two years along with her frogspawn that she hosted. When I put up my 180 I stocked it six months ago with a pair of clowns - they refused to host anything in the tank. I broke down my hubbys tank and couldn't find a home for his clown so I decided to...

    Rock now or wait more.....

    My 180 is finally plumbed and tested and ready to go. The cycle is nearing an end (ammonia and nitrites 0, nitrates still high between 25 and 50). I cooked the rock from my 150 and it's all phosphate free, fully cycled and ready to go. Do you think I could add the rock into the 180 and let the...

    Tank drilling

    Does anyone know anyone in Bergen County, Rockland or Westchester that drills tanks? I've tried the three glass places by me and none will do it. I need a 40 gallon tank drilled for a bulkhead....... Kathy

    New tank questions

    I've torn down my tank and placed everything in rubbermaid tubs and my spare tanks to get ready for a new floor in my living room this week. Now we're thinking - how about that new tank, it seems the right time to do it??? I can get a 180 delivered by Wednesday and new lights won'to take that...

    I need new carpet, so I get a new tank?

    The husband says I can look into getting a new tank! So, where's the best (cheapest) place to get a 180? I'll also be looking for a stand to go with it, no canopy as I think I want to go with a hanging light system so I can have an open, accessible tank.

    Desperate for ideas......My lights are out

    I had two bulbs burn out a few weeks ago so I purchased all new bulbs and got them up and running this week. I have six T5s running on two Icecap 660 ballasts - three on each ballast. The lights will not stay on unless all three bulbs are working for each ballast. I woke up Friday to find that...

    Staring over.......

    Over the past week I've lost most of my fish - Every other day one of them is just GONE! Parameters are fine, they all look very healthy when I go to bed and they're gone in the morning. I'm assuming it's my two 14" brittle stars. So today I went on a starhunt, destroyed my aquascaping and am...

    Dead Bird's Nest

    So, last week I leave in the morning after spending the usual five minutes of staring at it. Everything looked fine except for one of the brances of my Bird's Nest had a white tip on it. I thought that was weird and figured I'd look into it when I got home. I arrived home 8 hours later to find...

    red bugs or not?

    I came home two days ago to find my giant colt partially shriveled up. This morning more of him looked to be melting away. I removed him from my tank and put him in a small QT. When I came home tonight, he looks like a goner and there are a gazillion, clearish, pinkish moving things on the walls...

    Brown jelly on my monti cap...

    I came home yesterday to find my 12" round monti cap partially deccimated by brown jelly. What I thought had been a patch of sand in the middle of it in the morning obviously was not. Everything that I've read says to frag it down as far as I can, but I'm not sure how to do it with this thing...

    Is it possible.... I need some theories

    I have a 6-foot 150 gallon tank that is inhabited by a YT, a PBT, a flame hawk, one green chromis, a bicolor angel and a GSM. They all live in the left 75% of my tank. They seldom go past the 75% line - almost like there's a wall there. I always add new fish to the right side of the tank, hoping...
