hmmm....you may be on to something. I actually took this picture a few months ago and within the last couple of weeks the grass has been dying off and I havn't been able to figure out why. I bought it at Petsmart in the prepackaged tubes and it was labeled as Kyoto Grass. oh well...thanks for...

This is my Eclipse 6 gallon aquarium...if I had the room I'd have a 29 or 55 gallon. :P Inhabitants: 1 Dalmation Molly (2 Years Old) 5 Neon tetras (6 Months Old) 3 Julli Cories (1-2.5 Years Old) approx. 4-6 stems of Kyoto Grass The guppy in the top right corner I gave away, she was a...

I've ordered from liveaquaria.com before. The Yellow Clown Goby I ordered was very stressed when I got him and he subcame to ich and kinda wiped out my whole tank, but in all honesty it could have partially been my fault as well, I was new to everything and didn't acclimate him long enough so...

My Eclipse 12 was originally a freshwater so if I were to start over again with a nano sw tank I'd go with the nano cube becuase the lighting is so much better than on the eclipse. My tank really isn't complex at all. The tank did originally come with a flourecent bulb and it took me a few...

I have an Eclipse 12 and I have a firefish in mine as well and love him. When I first got him he always hid in his cave and being new to Saltwater I didn't realize I had improper lighting. I was using the standard flourencent blub that came wiht the tank. About two weeks ago I purchased a 50/50...

Update I received the bulb in the mail yesterday and installed it last night. It's been on all day and I love it! My Fire dartfish seems to love it as well, he use to spend the majority of the day hiding in his little cave and only come out when food drifted past his darthole. Normally as...

Thanks a bunch! The Eclipse 12 only allows one bulb, meaning I would only have one watt per gallon of water. Is this even enough for low light corals/zoos? Either way it'll still be good for my fish and maybe i'll finally get some growth on my live rock. I've had it since Jan/Feb and nothing...

Well, I wasn't quite sure where to post this question, but considering the fact its for my 12 gallon aquarium I figured i'd post it here. :P I have the 12 gallon eclipse aquarium, FOWLR at the moment and im looking for a 50/50 bulb for it. I just can't seem to find anyone who makes the 50/50...

Time for an update : ) Well, I did go ahead and purchase a protein skimmer. I ended up getting the Red Sea Deluxe Prism Skimmer...It seems like it will be adequate for my aquarium. I did order it online so I don't have it yet, but it is on its way. I went ahead and purchased...

I don't have a protein skimmer or refugium. I havn't really read up on refugiums and I wasn't sure if I could actually put a protein skimmer on such a small aquarium as most protein skimmers say they work for atleast 65 gallons or more. So it would still be advised I get one?? I feed twice a...

My water parameters are: Ammonia: .25ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: .40ppm PH: 8.4 SG: 1.018 ppt Temp: 77 Degrees Fahrenheit I have Cerith snails, Margarita snails, Super Tongan Nassarius snails and a couple Dwarf Blue Leg hermit crabs. I'm having an algea problem, or what a book called "diatoms"...

I have the Eclipse 12 gallon aquarium which I had set up for a few years as freshwater, then a few months ago I decided to switch over to saltwater. I knew a 12 gallon was a little small for my first SW tank, but I'm limited on space right now. So anyway, I allowed my tank to cycle for about...
