Heya Art, I make my own once in a while. I have a small blackworm 'farm' in a 5g tank, so that's the mainstay of my tank the past couple of months. I just made some supplemental food as well. I get a months worth of high quality stuff for $4 or so. I try not to make too much to avoid freezer...

40b available again

Sorry Bob, not thinking. 40b pending.

Need to fund a new return pump and a larger skimmer, so... 40b brand new, still has stickers $30 15g with metal stand (nice for nano or species tank) $20 20g long and a 10g $10

Manhattan has that effect on fish. I think they get overwhelmed looking at the big buildings and tend to forget they're sick.

BAH! Crawled back in. Pending...

As I sit here typing this my wife seems to be going into labor. Think I'm going to go to the hospital in a few minutes.

Look into Life Rock as well. Its man made and pre seeded. You just put it in the tank while cycling. I used 40 pounds of it along with 20-30 pound of dry rock and it works very well. Currently cycling some now for a new build. Sound like you've got a wealth of freshwater experience and...

Badly worded. Its set at 40% pulse and has been on that setting for months. I have been opening the unit every few weeks to clean and inspect. Its just a motor hum that started out of nowhere about 2 weeks ago and seems to have gotten a little louder in the past 48 hours. I'll probably drop a...

Hey all. Had my Gyre 130 for a few months now. Maintained well. It hasn't made any invert (or other) kills. I'm sure its a previous blade build. Regardless... a few nights ago I began to hear it from 2 rooms away. It's set on 40% pulse and hasn't changed in months. Starting to drive me nuts as...

I feel ya. I had a rubber mat under a 40b on hardwood. Moved the tank after 6 months and sure enough, there was water damage. A second tank with a solid wood base on the stand gave the same results. Speaking from experience, IMHO, best thing you can do is put the stand direct on the wood and...

Welcome aboard! For a manual test kit I'd go for the Red Sea Reef Foundation Pro. You can also go with Hanna Checkers for alkalinity and phosphate (I've heard their Calcium checker isn't that accurate). Refract go with the Milwaukee MA887. Arguably the best $ I spent on this hobby (you can...

Made me snicker. I've got an anthias that's being a pain with eating. Been in the tank for over a year. Didn't post on RC as I knew the inevitable 'It wasn't quarrantined long enough, should still be in there' or 'Quarantine immediately and souse with antibiotics and chemicals' would come up...

Paul, Timing is everything. A new study released earlier this week showing that gut bacteria ties in with immunodeficiencies. The primary gist of the paper is that analysis of gut bacteria, or lack of, can accurately predict if a child will develop asthma. The speculated treatment? Identify the...

Nope, checked voltage a month or so ago, all within normal limits. Temp had raised a bit over past 2 days when I turned the fans off (expecting it to be cooler out) and hit 79-80, but fans back on this morning and back down to 76-77. Tank was stable when problem began. Water parameters good...

Just an ordinary bicolor anthias. No recent introductions, not really bullied out of the ordinary.

Anthias in tank for 1 year+ and eating anything available. About 7-10 days ago, as far as I can tell, it just stopped eating. Did the normal food for a few days and observed. It would come out at feeding time, but just not participate. Pellet, flake, frozen and live blackworms, fresh clam...

Thanks for those links, will be interesting reading.

Sump complete and tested :) http://vid1328.photobucket.com/albums/w540/Ozone001/IMG_2380_zps3rkqhpzq.mp4
