Thanks all, I will watch it to make sure it stays healthy. Glad to be back.

Okay - this is my first attempt at posting a picture on a pc, my Mac is at the shop. Hope it works.

Thanks, that's what I thought - it's too pretty to damage. I'll try to get a picture up later when I can find my camera.

I haven't been on for a long time - and now I have an important question. My tank is now in it's sixth year, healthy and happy. I finally broke down and got an LTA - I tried to place it in the most open space with the most sand for it to dig into. It however, hunkered down in a small area...

I love duct tape I'm known as the duct tape queen at school. I use it for bulletin boards, clothing errors and most recently put my wallpaper back up with the neon pink duct tape. I color code my guided reading books with colored duct tape. I love duct tape.:p

Thanks all, this was a first - and like I said, I've had them for four years and never a biting incident before. Very unfunny clowns! Terry

I was doing my regular tank cleaning today, and my four year old tank raised perculas began attacking my arm. This is a first - is this a normal behavior for my usually docile clowns? I haven't noticed any eggs anywhere or else I would have chalked it up to that. Confusion abounds. Terry

if you can't find screen - try the salt water solution - egg crate. Most sw tanks either have their tops open, or the plastic egg crate stuff tha hd sells for light fixtures. It keeps jumpers in - but allows for evaporation and cooling.

I am a kindergarten/first grade teacher at a school with blended classes. If you have questions about what is appropriate - just ask! I love my job, and that is what you need to look for in a teacher. While all the upper grade teachers (we go to 8th grade) dress really nice - I wear jeans...

I've had an orange (red) linkia for about three months - she stays off the corals, and moves all over the glass day and night. I've been told that they are algae/slime eaters and filter feeders. I haven't had to feed her anything special, so they are pretty easy. Make sure you acclimate any...

Congrats Fishman, glad to hear the surviving fish are back in the main. Pretty nice feeling after all that work. :D Terry

I can't blame the power head. As I was putting everything back together, I noticed a leak - my new phosban 150 leaks like a sieve. Water was dripping from the top ring and from the bottom seal. I've emailed Darin at Captivereefs to see what we should do. I guess the water hit the power strip and...

So, I came home from a wonderful night out with my daughters, and the lights in my kitchen are out. That means the everything in the tank is out also. So, I switch the breaker in the box (husband taught me how to do this since he travels) and I get everything back online. Ten minutes later - no...

my fluval 404 has been extremely quiet and dependable for the past 3 years. I know you can find it for under $100 at different online sites. It has even cleared my tank from a massive sand storm - took it less than 3 hours. HTH I don't have experience in any other canister - just know this one...

I got my phosban reactor one week ago, no cyno left at all, and I only clean my glass once every other day instead of three times a day. I would recommend it highly. I still have to do another sand vacuuming to get left over stuff off of it, but the phosban hasn't hurt my corals, in fact, they...
