I've got a female Red Dragon that I'm about to try and pair off. I noticed her laying eggs on by herself the other day so I'm assuming she wants to breed. >< Just curious if there are any discus breeders that wouldn't mind having email/forum discussions.

Hey, I got a Yellow Tang the other day when I broke down a tank and I'm yet to be able to get him to eat. I know they're herbivores and I've been trying to feed him some Red Marine Algae, but he won't touch it. What else should I try?

I really don't want to ship any of this but if you REALLY want it I can ship it. I will NOT ship livestock/lr/ls/tanks. If you want any of this shipped, All of the listed below is available for sale or trade. Items i'm looking for include smaller reef safe fish, true percula friendly anemones...

So i've got an ICECAP 660 in my posession at the moment. With it I can drive 440Watts of VHO or some PC's. But I can also sell this ICECAP for $100 and then buy a Ballast+Refelect+(2x250Watt MH)Bulbs(~6months) for $160. Should I go for it or just use the ICECAP?

How would these two go in a Reef tank? I found someone willing to sell them nearby for $40 so I thought it would be a good idea. I'm not worried about the goby but how is the pistol for aggressiveness? I've got some smaller clowns in the tank (1/2") will he bother them? Also I have a high-fin...

So i've noticed a couple aquarists that grow mangroves in their sumps. Do they really help to reduce nitrates? Is it worth bothering with them? Regards, Ken

So i'm getting ready to do my 75 gallon reef and I was curious as to if I have enough space for the following fish. 1. Would there be enough room for perhaps a second Dwarf Angel? I was thinking something along the lines of a Flame Angel and a Pygmy Cherub. I can't seem to find any info on how...

Has anyone had success with these guys in reefs? I don't have any corals yet so If he can coexist with some i'll limit myself to those. I have a little one, 2 inches and I really don't want to get rid of him. If nothing else he'll live in my refugium (30gal.)

So there really isn't a section for hardware and I have a reef so I figured I'd post it here. I manage to get most of my equipment used, good quality and cheap, but when I picked up a Rio 4100 I wasn't so lucky. I was in a hurry and I didn't properly check it out; low and behold the impeller is...

My girlfriend has a puffer that is not looking so good an were not sure how to help it. He is a green spotted puffer and currerntly lives in a 5 gallon tank. He will be moved to a 60 gallon tank or bigger within a week. He has become very inactive, a bit darker than when she originally got him...

Hey, I got this anemone today and I can't quite figure out what it is. I bought a bunch of LR from a guy and he no longer wanted the anemone in his tank so I took it off of his hands. It's currently in my ten gallon with my scooter blenny and percula clowns. Anemone one...

Just curious what everyones thoughts on keeping a Cherub Pygmy (much smaller) and a Coral Beaty together? I think they'd be alright. They would be living in a 45gallon reef.

Hi, So i'm getting ready to start cycling my 45 and i've been considering what lights to get. The tank is 36" by 18" and the two options i've been considering are Metal Halides and VHOs. For a Metal Halide setup I could get the ballast for a 250W bulb for about $85, i'm sure the fixture...

Question, My friend has a mated (i assume) pair of convicts in his 110 african cichlid tank, with about i'd say 10 other equivalent sized (3"-5") africans. I have a pair of mated pink convicts that I really need off of my hands. I really don't like being cruel to my fish so my question is...

Hi all, I have a chance to obtain this from a person who doesn't want it anymore for rather cheap. I'm sure the ballast is fine, but I can't tell if the bulb will do what I want for corals. Please let me know what you think. Also, would this be overkill for a 30gal? I believe it would, if so I'd...

I recently got my first saltwater tank going and i'm very much enjoying it. It's a small ten gallon with two baby clownfish (about 1/2" long) and a scooter blenny. I have a larger tank i'm in the planning stages of that will be the final home for these fish and some others. The tank size will be...

So i've heard that small air bubbles can be a very bad thing for saltwater fish and my protien skimmer seems to be injecting them into the tank. Should I be concerned about this? Regards, Ken

Hi All, Happened to come across a Dwarf Puffer recently, and being is it is the only one i've seen in my city for months, I had to get him. Two questions, what do the other dwarf puffer owners on the board feed their puffers? Also, how do they do in community tanks? I've heard they're for SO...

Hi all, I just got a really good deal on a green spotted puffer at my LFS. They've been keeping him in complete freshwater and I'd like to bring him up to 1.010. My question is how quickly should I adjust the amount of salt in the water? Thanks. Regards, Ken

Anyone know anything about fiddler crabs? I've got two that I bought under the impression given by the LFS that they could live completely submereged in fresh water. Which I later found out is not the case. Apparently they need to be in brackish with access to a bit of land. Does anyone know if...

Ok, so i've got a few questions. So i'm just going to lump them all into one post and see how it goes. First, my female betta needs to get moved. She is living by herself in a little bowl, and I feel quite sorry for her. I have a 30gal freshwater thats current inhabitants include the following...

So i've got my 10 gallon cycling for my first saltwater experience. But in the meantime, as hooked on saltwater as I am, I'm contemplating what to do with my 75. One hangup i've had with the 75 is that once i'm more experienced, i'll want to do a few anenomes and corals. Now the lighting i've...

So i've just started cycling my tank, it's been about a few days now. I took the advice of the forum and threw in a piece of raw shrimp. Anyways, here are the test results. PH: 7.6 Nitrite: 2ppm Nitrate: 10ppm Ammonia: 8ppm How often should I be testing at this stage? Also, should I be worried...

Does anyone have one of these? I'm just curious as to what they notice as far as behaviour goes. My black khuli lives in a tank with two other striped khuli loaches. The two regular ones are very shy and spend most of their time hiding, but the black is a completely different story. He does...

Well, this is a long way off seeing as my tank just started cycling, but i've been thinking about tankmates. I'd really like to do a pair of clowns, just can't imagine anything cooler. Would a figure 8 puffer be OK with the clowns? I don't think he gets bigger than them and when I have anenomes...
