    can anyone ID these?

    I know it's a awful photo, just found it on my digital and realized the frag I recently lost was in the photo, I really liked them... no idea what they are called and the color was understated so maybe they don't even have a name. It's the circled ones that I'd like to know so I could try and...

    My 24g aquapod PC

    I need to try some different things with our junky old camera to get some better shots but I wanted to post something here. I'll get around to posting the start to the tank later when I find the photos of the couple mods etc. Here is my 24g aquapod, it's hard to tell in the photo but the rocks...

    what solution is your TDS meter calibrated with?

    Got a new TDS meter today, it came precalibrated to 342ppm but included a package of 1383ppm solution and states: "TDS in Aquarium, Hydroponics testing: Recalibrate the HM TDS-EZ/3/4 meters with the 1382 ppm/KCl TDS solution for higher ppm TDS testing needs such as Aquariums, Hydroponics, Pools...

    Oceanic 30g cube owners, I need your opinion :)

    I have a 30g oceanic cube that is a FOWLR for one green spotted puffer. I purchased a aquaclear 70 filter to hang on the back to house purigen/carbon/etc... however it won't fit correctly!!! The area that should fit over the edge/lip of the tank is a tiny bit to narrow so while the filter...

    Any CPA's or tax experts?

    I won't bore you with the grueling details (lets just say that 4 w2's for my hubby, 2 of them corrected... moving from MI to NJ and the sale of a house, and him working in NYC but living here, plus having started for the company when we were still in MI can get a tad complicated when tax time...

    Vacation?

    What do you do with your tanks when you go on vacation? When we lived at "home" (MI) I had plenty of family and friends that I trusted to care for my tanks (my mom, bless her... would even catch the snails for my puffer and feed him). My husband wants to go back to MI to visit for about a...

    what's your stocking?

    What size is your tank, and who inhabits it? My 24g is full of softies/LPS. Fish wish I have one clown, one purple firefish, one 6 line wrasse (model citizen), and a tiny green banded goby (was my first SW fish, lived in my 5g nano, survived the move from MI). Inverts are snails, hermits, and a...

    What part of nano keeping do you find most difficult?

    For me it's dealing with coral growth. My 24g aquapod is really jammed pack with rocks and corals... everything is balanced just so. Which means if I need to get to something at the bottom I either can just forget it and leave it or I'm looking at a few hours of frustration as I pull everything...

    yippie a nano forum!

    Thank you to the "powers that be" for creating this space, my favorite tank is my 24g aquapod... for a newbie on a budget it was the perfect blend of form & function. My tank has been set up since, hmm... mommy brain, let's just say last Summer. When I have a chance I'll go into some details...

    I apologize if I've offended anyone here

    A wise member mentioned to me that I might be alienating myself in this male dominated hobby by complaining/bashing my husband in a few of my threads. I wanted to apologize if I've offended anyone, it was never my intent to "bash" my husband, sure I wish he shared my interest in tanks/fish...

    Is the Camden "adventure aquarium" worth the visit?

    We're thinking about going to the aquarium in Camden tomorrow (open 365, figure it might be empty because of Easter?) but before I make my crabby non fish loving husband shell out the $17 for each of us and $15 for our 3 yr old I wanted to see if you guys thought it was worth it? Thanks

    How often do you just want to quit or at least start over?

    Just wondering how often something in your tank, or with your equipment makes you so frustrated you just want to give up or at the very least start over? ::vent warning:: I have a 24g aquapod reef, which for the most part I really enjoy; except when I decide to try and move something and the...

    Mike: OPPS... bad news on sump/refuge

    I sort of never measured my tank stand openings... no way much of anything is going through the front, so I pulled it away from the wall (thankfully this is a 50g and can slowly be inched away w/o scratching the floor).... no way is the sump going to fit, my opening is 28" x 19 1/2" so I think...

    how to place chemical filtration when using a sump?

    About to take the leap and hook up a hob overflow and sump/refuge on my 50g I've always had a aquaclear HOB filter on it where I put carbon/chemipure/purigen. I'll be losing the HOB now to make room for the overflow but I'm wondering how I can still use chemical filtration with a sump? Water...

    Lost my best fishy friend... RIP Wasabi

    I'm sick, I'm sobbing. My green spotted puffer is swimming past the rainbow bridge. I had him for over a year, brought him up from a tiny pea sized puffer rescued from Petco. He's recently been grump in the 50g since I converted it to a reef so I went and bought him his own tank, just finished...

    Grab the towels!!! My "new" overflow/sump/refug keep overflowing!

    Someone please help. I think I know what the issue is, the outlet from the refug should be lower the the inlet however the previous owner claims this is how he used it and it worked fine... I even got the same exact crappy pump as him so I wouldn't have any issues (a rio 1100). The 30g oceanic...
