I have a friend with a 160 gal. tank with wooden stand complete with fish and all pumps, lights, etc. It is set up for freswater fish currently. It is located near Ashland, Ohio. Must sell! Asking $800.00 email me with serious inquiries only, please. brat21396@yahoo.com

Thanks for the replies. I thought it may have been but the picture I saw of a limpet, didn't look at all like these, there must be a varity of them, or maybe I didn't search hard enough. I'm going to search again and see what info I can find on them, mainly if they get very big? I have 2 good...

I have several big and little critters like this in my tank. And have been wondering what they are and if they are a good thing. I have no algea problems and I think I only have 1 or 2 snails in the tank but probably 6 of these things. I figure they are algea eaters. All Info. is greatly...

My toadstool leather hasn't been opening up for a long time now! (weeks :( ) I added a powerhead a couple weeks ago and it started to open a little but hasn't ever fully extended like it use too. After tonights water change the PH is pointed right at it but the ph has a rotater so it isn't...

I got this ph and it works great! Pumped my mixed water up about 4-5 feet into tank! And now that I figured out how to get the rotater to rotate it is in the tank and everything seems to like the extra curent.

I would definately be interested, BUT I have nothing good to trade and it is winter here so I probably,shouldn't try to have anything shipped until it warms up. Let me know in warmer weather, or are there cheap tricks to shipping in the winter. Thanks!

I agree with Hara, let us know many of us would probably glady buy your xenia, I hate to see anything have to be thrown away as trash, especially a coral that is so expensive at the lfs. $30+ in this area, and your lucky if it has 2 or more pulsing polyps. If anyone has some to get rid of please...

Well, I'm glad to hear that! I kindda think the tank seems happier with the extra current, but not sure it has only been a couple days. I have never been snorkling closest, I've been to saltwater is in my own home. Well went to florida as a child once. :) But I will see the ocean again...

Speedy reply! THanks! So It was just the water change,LOL. Going to do another tomorrow nitrates still about 10. But everything else is fine. Would carbon help remove nitrates? SO maybe I should try to face my PH more towards the front middle of the tank. My only concern is can I have to...

I have a 55gal. sw tank with a few corals, just recentally I bought a 528gph powerhead (bodyguard2200, I had never heard of the brand, But came with the 2 quick filters and a 360 rotater, at a good price.) It is bigger than I had hoped but works well. If I put the rotater on it , it reaches...

Is anyone familar with the Body guard 2200 power head? It is a 528gph power head with adjustable airflow, an extra 360 rotater, and quick filters (prefilter I imagine). I'm wanting a power head to put in my 55gal. saltwater tank. Currently I just have a prism skimmer and a AC300 creating...

Cricket- I love my Aquaclears! and I use AC sponges in my marineland and penguin filters too. Seems to work fine for me. But I want to Thank loganj(?)- for the idea of the quilt batting thats sounds like a good idea, I'm going to try that too, sometime. My favorite tip for carbon, ammonia...

I sure wish I could get a better picture. I've tried but no luck so far. I'm pretty sure it is not a green star polyp. no green in it. kinnda pinkish. I'm thinking the lfs said it was a encrusting gorgian. But they weren't sure. And I haven't found any pictures of what they look like.

Can anyone tell me what type of coral this is? The lfs store said it was a type of gorgonia, possibly. The pictures arent the best but maybe somebody can tell. THanks!! More and better Pictures in the photo gallery in brat's 55 album. this was the only picture that it would let me post here and...

Thanks!! One day, when I'm more conifdent about my tank I'll have to try a blue star. Your pictures are great. I ended up getting the red star at lfs it is doing fine so I must have acclimated it ok. I'll post pictures someday. I think, Alf was right it looks like it maybe a red fromia star. It...
