If you have not purchased anything yet, I had a high light 55 gallon planted tank that I sold off the livestock and plants from when I moved 2 years ago. I never set it back up, so I have a lot of stuff I could sell off (for very reasonable prices) if you are interested. Including the light...

I just picked up a CPR SR3 for my 29 g biocube. I just set the tank up Saturday, so it is cycling. That skimmer has pulled a lot of nasty smelling skimmate out already! I had a cpr bak-pak, but it would not fit on the back (the return pipe juts out too far). I picked up the SR3 on ebay for less...

I use a background called Ocean visions or something like that. It is basically the same type of adhesive backed vinyl used for signs and stickers. It looks great, like the back of the tank is colored acrylic. Take care, Tina PS - I bought this background at That Pet Place, but there are...

Thanks for all the opinions and advice. I definitely won't buy these little guys in the future without seeing them eat first or knowing they are tank bred. My one remaining got sucked into my overflow, but I rescued him out of there and he is still hanging in. I tried some mysis soaked in garlic...

Thanks! I will pick up some garlic today and look for the artic pods. I do have something in a little pump, it is made with cyclopeeze though. Not too many lfs around here carry a large selecion of saltwater supplies, so it is slim pickings unless I place and order online. I have been looking...

Nothing is blocking the light. It is even a new bulb, 14K 150 W Phoenix. And, now that there is no surface scum, they should be getting better light. They weren't doing this before the temperature problems. One thing that had had happened before the temp problems was the sharp decline in the...

Bummer. I read somewhere that they frequently spawn in tanks. I am surprised that these guys aren't available tank bred. I guess spawning and then surviving might be an issue. The thought that maybe he was caught with cyanide had crossed my mind to be honest, but I was hoping that wasn't the...

Here is a poor quality picture of what the zoas look like: Please ignore the hair algae, lol. Thanks again, Tina

I will try the cyclopeeze, I have some in my freezer. Here is a really bad pic that I just took to show you, I could have cleaned it up, but photoshop stopped working. ::) I think he would be considered a citron: Thanks for the quick reply! Tina

A friend of mine at work had a neighbor selling a 6 month old 29 gallon biocube. Apparently she bought it for use as a freshwater tank and didn't like it. I picked it up for $150, including the matching stand. So, I am trying to get some ideas on how to set this up. The reason I got it is that...

Does anyone have any experience with clown gobies? I bought 2 of the little guys at the big THR sale. They were housed together and got along just fine. Since they came home, I cannot get them to eat. I have tried flake, frozen mysis with selcon, finely chopped silver sides, and another frozen...

Re: My 30 gallon cube tank I thought I would take a moment and update the situation with my 30 cube. I did finally beat the slime algae, but it took treating with Boyd's Chemiclean. I know that most people are averse to treating, instead recommending to eliminate the cause, but the water...

I hung the fixture over my cube at my apartment. The holes it made were actually very easy to patch when I left, and since most ceilings are white, it hid the touch up paint I put there too. This is the only picture I have access to at work, but you can kind of see the wires it hangs by. Those...

I think this place: http://www.aquatic-store.com/index.html?target=dept_631.html&lang=en-us sells bubble counter fluid. When I ran CO2 on my planted tank, I just kept refilling it with water. Tina

My tank is sitting on laminate (Pergo) flooring. I try to get any spills right away, but I also put down one of these: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=14697&Ntt=mat&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1 It works pretty well, especailly for all the...

I have another question. I was going to register today, but I ran into a problem. My sister would like to come with me, but she doesn't qualify as my "significant other" (although she is family :-)). When I go to register, it asks how many adults, if I put in 2, it only wants me to pay $20, but...

I was there last year. It was great, but short. I thought for the price they charged there would be more to it. The website makes it look like you can go explore different parts on your own, but it is basically a tour straight through. We did the meal package and ate at the Firehouse restaurant...

Thanks for the explanation Brian! I checked hellolights, but no straight pin 18 W actinic bulbs. Maybe I can find some kind of converter to change the straight pin sockets to square pin sockets. ??? Tina

Hi Candi.  Thanks for the advice.  I looked at both DFS and Big Als and neither carries the bulb I need.  I have found 18W straight pin pc bulbs in a few places online, but they are 50/50 and I need actinics (the little 18W bulbs are only to brighten up the color of the tank, main light is from...

OK. I ordered a new Phoenix 14 K mh bulb. The pc's are off for now. I also added a HOB power filter with a bag of chemi-pure in it (no filter pad, just the chemi-pure), this is temporary as it is hanging on the front of the tank. I tried to adjust my power heads to direct flow onto the areas...
