    Frags May Meeting

    I've never been to one of these shin digs before. Anyone selling frags there too? Seeing that my tank will remain fallow for a while, it might be time for some new zoos. ;) Plus, it would be nice to meet some more of you fine folk. :)

    HOB vs. Cabinet

    Well, I don't know about the hot fuge as good as the 20g. A hang on would be lucky to be 5 or 6 gallons, where you can put a lot more life in a 20g.

    Heater issues?

    Hey guys, I have a heater question. I'm on my second heater on my 55g. This one is starting to do exactly what the first one did. I have the dial set to about 72 degrees. My tank was at 84 this morning and the heater was still on. I can thump it with my finger and it turns off, but then it...

    Water conditions

    Well they say phosphates should be zero. And the ph looks a bit low, I think it's supposed to be 8.3ish The nitrates are plenty low Don't know about calcium. Why not just test your water if your fish/corals are happy and compare the 2?

    HOB vs. Cabinet

    I think option 1 is everything hanging on the back of the tank and option 2 is an entirely seperate tank that he's putting on the side instead of underneath the tank like a lot of people do.

    Some Questions: (Ich, QT, Salt, etc...)

    But the question still remains: Where can I get some live rock to stick in the tank that won't need to be qt'ed for 2 months? Is it even possible? Thanks!

    Some Questions: (Ich, QT, Salt, etc...)

    Actually, that is the plan, kind of. I'm going to keep the 29g running though, and it might be the permanent home of these two clowns, and I'll just replenish some fishies in the 55g when it's ready. I actually plan on running 2 tanks once all this is over. Same as before, just 2 sw tanks...

    Some Questions: (Ich, QT, Salt, etc...)

    Carlos, Most of my rock has my coral in it, and I'm keeping the big tank w/o fish for a while, so I think I'm just going to keep all that rock in there. It's new rock I need to get, really...just don't want to wait a few months to put it in.

    Some Questions: (Ich, QT, Salt, etc...)

    Ok, here's an update on the state of the union...er..tanks. I broke down my old 29g freshie, and gave fish, rocks, gravel, driftwood to a fellow enthusiast. I mixed 10g of water to about 1.023 and filled a 10g tank. I bought a heater for the tank and stuck a powerhead I had in it. I also threw...

    Some Questions: (Ich, QT, Salt, etc...)

    Convicts are gone. 29 gallon tank is available I cleaned out my 10 gallon and added salt to 1.022 and am now circulating and heating. Time to try and get the fishies soon. Unfortunately, I ran out of salt so I could only mix enough for about 7 gallons. The 4 fish are about 1 inch long...

    Some Questions: (Ich, QT, Salt, etc...)

    So, I've got the ich. Bad. I knew I had it, but was hoping the ol' garlic would take care of it. Anyway, here's my deal: My 55g must have it bad. I've got 2 clowns and 2 damsels and one of each is showing some bad ich. I could really care less about the damsels at this points (sad to say)...

    RIP Thompson's Tang

    Yeah, I know. Right now I have a pair of clowns, a blue damsel and a domino in there. They all look healthy, and the tang has been showing ich for weeks now. Just too dang hard to get fish out of the tank! I don't think i'm going to add any new fish for quite some time, so hopefully it'll have...
