    Pond - part of it

    BTA lighting question

    I was thinking of getting an RBTA for my 75g tank. I have 226 watts of PC lighting. If my math is correct 226/75 would about 3 watts per gallon. If this is right is it enough light for the nem? Thanks Mark

    Shedd Aquarium

    I will try and get pics up later in the week. One thing I thought odd was they had seahorses in a display with fish!!! All my son kept asking why can they do it and we can't. LOL, I said because you are not suppose to as the fish will get the food before the seahorses do. I assume they feed...

    Back from vacation

    So I get back and the tank is making lots of noise. Seems that the pump on my ATO wasn't working after the storm and power outage and nobody noticed. Skimmer stopped producing skimmate and all timers off schedule. Plus the pond has a huge crack. Luckily it can be half full.

    Hate when this happens

    Left the house at 6pm to go to the gym and a few stores. Get back at 8pm and my 6" hippo tang is stuck to the side of my Koriala 3. The same one that took out my flame angel last year. It is still alive and swam behind a big rock. I hope it survives and it is the dominant fish in the tank. Why...

    Finally!

    Well today I finally got around to pulling the hair algae out of the tank. I got 98% of it and hope the turbo snails can handle the rest. I also switched filter socks and am wet skimming.

    Hair Algae - Sea hare

    I bought a sea hare Friday from R2R to help control some hair algae. It just exploded in the past couple months. Anyway the sea hare was doing fine eating the HA and this morning I found it dead. Not sure what happened. How can I rid the tank of the HA now? Should I scrape it off the glass and...

    Car sunroof help

    My SUZ is leaking from the sunroof from what I am told by my mechanic. He was able to clear one drain but told me the other cannot be. There is a piece broken and told me to silicone the hole and hope the other side drains well enough. Does this sound right? Anyone have any other suggestions? I...

    RBTA ?

    I got that RBTA from James and it will not attach to anything. Tried wedging it between rocks but would come out and float around at top of the tank. I secured it with a loose rubberband to a rock this mroning and just checked. The foot didn't take hold yet. I was going to slide the rock and nem...

    Reusing Rock ?

    I have two rocks that had bad hair algae last year in July. I scrubbed them best I could, stuck them in a plastic bag and stored them in the shed. DO you think I can use them with getting another HA outbreak? I was going to blast them with a pressure hose to get any gunk out of them. Thanks, Mark

    It could only be me....

    Only my son would see a box turtle trying to cross 195 on the way home from Ice Cap today. Good thing as it would have surely been hit. Unfortunately, it's pretty sick with what appears to be an eye infection and respitory problem. So will be nusring it until it is healthy enough to be relaesed.

    Lesson learned

    Was moving rocks around to make room for some new coral and left my K4's turned on. After 30 mins of getting everything right the way I wanted it. I stepped back and notice an orange flash on the back side of a K4. I get a net and push it out and my flame angel was stuck to the side the whole...
