Took Ali for our walk on the path at Sandy Hook today, I was walking along pushing the stroller and chatting with her about flowers/birds etc when I saw something jump on the ground... thought "cricket" and kept walking.... then I saw a TON of whatever was jumping, being deathly afraid of...

I was at Trop today and of course I had to check out the fish. They had the most adorable little tiny spotted boxfish (whiteish, not yellow) that I've ever seen. I don't know much about them other then that they get way to big for what I have and can poision a tank. That said they are still one...

I've been wanting to upgrade my 50g acrylic for ages, of course had to do it on a budget so I've been watching the forums and crossing my fingers. I really love the height of the Oceanic tanks and have a cherry finish 30g cube in the dining room already that I was hoping to match. Few weeks ago...

fairly small, about the size of a single zoa Thanks!

I've had my purple firefish in my tank since December. I always joked that I had him trained, as he was always front and center in the tank and not shy at all. About 2 weeks ago that all changed, for no apparent reason (ie no new additions, nothing moved, other fish acting the same, no...

;) We've been considering another dog for some time, we have a 2 yr old shephard mix we got from a rescue in Detroit... she is a wonderful dog but has severe leg/hip issues and isn't able to go for long walks or run and play with our daughter. I've always wanted a dog I could take for long...

* disclaimer: yes I realize most spaghetti/hair worms are not only harmless but are considered benificial by many. I have no issues with most types, the clearish ones are free to inhabit any of my tanks they wish. My issue is with these darn yellow with greenish stripe looking ones that are...

Thanks to everyone who helped me figure out the overflow/drain situation. Ended up going with the easiest fix for now, a new 1 1/4" flexible hose secured with a clamp to a 1" piece of PVC coming from the drain bulkhead going directly into the sump. I really want a refug. on this setup so my...

Ugh... feeling very overwhelmed and freaking out right now. Got my used 70g oceanic RR tank last week. Built my rock structure with dry marcorocks and got sand & the rocks in the tank... glued the one piece the previous owner recommended and made sure everything was tight. Started filling it...

I just received a letter from the county... they're real sorry but because the house behind us was torn down and is being rebuilt facing the other side they are changing out address from a 2 to 4 effective immediately!?!?! I'm freaking out here a bit, not to mention what a PIA. Nothing against...

I just purchased a used 70g Oceanic RR tank. It came with this skimmer, http://www.superskimmer.com/RD.htm: ETSS Red Devil and this sump: http://www.superskimmer.com/RD_Sump.htm One of the main reasons I wanted a RR tank was to have a refug.. which obviously this sump doesn't allow (unless I...

The used 70g oceanic tank I'm getting is being delivered on Sunday (WOOHOO!!!) It's an upgrade for my 50g and since it's RR it will also run a sump/refug (something I haven't had on the 50g). I think the next piece of equipment I'm going to save up for is an ATO... looking for something easy...

I want to make a screen for the 70g I'm getting this weekend, I know I could use eggcrate but want something with smaller openings that is less obtrusive to look at as well. I found this on RC http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1127093&highlight=cast+net I checked...

My new nikon d40 came today, I'm SOOO excited! However all I've ever had was point & shoot cameras and I have NO idea what anything means when it comes to photography... I know there are a million photography books out there so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a good book to...

It's my b'day on Sunday and our 5th wedding anniversary on Monday, I've been wanting a DSLR camera for some time now (tired of trying to take photos of my fish to just have colorful blurs LOL )not that I'm sure it's in the budget but before I really start pushing for it I wanted to get the...

Just got my 2nd order from nyaquatic.com and I'm extremely pleased. Healthy fish, great prices, and it's hard to beat the next day ground shipping at less then $10 especially given the cost of gas lately.

My lease just ended this month and I now have a 2008 Mercury Mariner, however it doesn't have a hitch. While I'm not dragging anything around I do desperately want to be able to put my bike on the back so I can go biking with my little girl (it's a small suv and I'll never fit the bike and her...

If all goes well it looks like in about 2 weeks I'll be upgrading my 50g acrylic to an Oceanic 70g RR w/20g sump. In my 50g are a clown pair, 6-line, & 5 blue/green chromis. I'm getting a coral beauty with the new tank. My husband really wants a niger trigger, which I know is probably...

Aliya (3) had a really old/held together with wood screws plastic playhouse in MI... it was a mess so we left it. She seemed to have forgotten until this past weekend she saw the "new" used one my friend got a garage sale for only $25. Now she won't stop asking for one, new ones are insanely...

Now that spring is here it's time to give our new house some curb appeal. I purchased new shutters and was planning to just paint the plain white front door and garage door... Craig loves the look of wood doors but we can't afford them. So I was thinking of doing a faux wood finish on the...
