What about skimming? Does the LR rubble and the other filtration media you mentioned take care of that? Thanks for the help.

The last tank I had was a 20g and while I know it's considered a nano by many, I'm looking for something in the under 10-15 gallon range. because my space is very limited. I could just take my 20g setup with me but it will be too much of a hassle. I'm well aware of the sensitivity of small tanks...

Hi, I'm in college right now and I don't have the room or money to invest in a large reef tank. I have saltwater and reef experience and have decided to move into the realm of the nano-reef. As of right now, I'm not sure which kind of aquarium to get. I don't want to merely get a 10 gallon tank...

Whats the simplest environment a hermit crab can live in? I will be taking a hermit crab to class for a week for a biology project and need to know whats the minimum equipment required. I've got all the hardware at home just need to get water. But also, do I need to have sand for the hermit...

Try as hard as you can to remove that. I allowed my tank to reach that level of algae growth and soon I had hair algae all over the place and my tank was barely visible from the outside. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get it under control. Eventually my little cousin tossed a whole...

WOW!!!!! Oh, and no, of course I'm not jealous. :wink:

GOOD LUCK!!!! And remember.....sharing is caring! :wink:

welcome back! :smilecolros:

sorry to hear that. That's life, its got its ups and downs but hopefully there are more ups than downs.

I've never seen a firefly.... :(

A local LFS was selling a fair sized octopus that I would estimate to be approx. 5-6" across (the head/body part, not including tentacles) for about $70. Seems to me like a good deal since it wasn't one of those miniature tiny ones and would look awesome in a display species only tank. However...

I know what you mean. I temporarily put a foxface in my 20g reef and was dreading the day I'd be forced to take him out because he's so fast and will hide when I enter the room. This sounds REALLY BAD but I found him dead a few days ago in the back of the tank and although it's REALLY SAD, I...

I'd run it through for about 10 minutes in a container with flowing warm/hot water by putting it in the sink and letting the water flow into the container. You should be fine but I like to be extra careful especially with some of the accidents I've had. I haven't used bleach that often so I...
