I woke up this morning to find my 2yr old ocellaris clownfish (first fish I ever bought) stuck to my overflow strainer. I pushed him off and he floated around the currents until my coral banded shrimp caught him and made quick work of him. It's a sad day, but I figure this gives me an...
I want to give the Phoenix 150W 14K DE bulb a try, but I can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know what store carries this bulb, or where I can order it from?
I set up my 29gal about 5 months ago with the intention of sticking to simple corals because this is my first real serious attempt at a reef. I started with some shrooms, zoos, and softies to see how well I can maintain a tank before I moved to more difficult species. I'm running 150W HQI +...
So today I was doing some routine maintenance in my sump (adjusting heaters to compensate for winter, rinsing pre-filters, etc). Well, while I had my pre-filters out for cleaning, a huge sheet of that black mesh coating on my heater peeled off. Before I could catch it, it got sucked into my...
I just caught the elusive 3-stripe damsel that's been harassing my bicolor blenny. He doesn't play well with others, hence my desire to get rid of him. He'll be residing in a small plastic cup next to my tank for a few days if someone wants him. If no one wants him, then I'll try to take to him...
So I had this bright idea a few months ago to put a damsel in my 29gal. I have had a blue damsel in my 12gal nanocube for over a year now and have never had any problems with it. Well, this new damsel has to go. I added a bicolor blenny today and the damsel has been harassing it the entire day...
I'm starting a little project here making some DIY eductors for my tank. I thought I had all the parts I need, but now I have no clean way of connecting them to my outputs. Basically I need to find a 3/4" Double Socket (female-female) in black plastic. Does anyone know of any aquarium or...
I have a 29gal softie tank that's been set up for about 4 months. Since I started the tank I've been doing water changes using pre-mixed saltwater from Tropiquarium, and topping off with RO/DI from Trop as well (which I started dosing kalk in 4 weeks ago). About three weeks ago I bought my first...
I just moved out here from Ohio, and I'm having a hard time finding a good sports bar with lots of big-screen TV's that will play college football all day on Saturdays. Does anyone know of any such place near Belmar? In Ohio, EVERY restaurant and bar has at least 6 big-screen TV's and they're...
