Was away for the weekend of the 4th and we had a pet sitter coming in to watch all the animals, dogs, cat, fish. Get a phone call from here saying that the aquarium was leaking from the bottom seals about 4 inches out of a 55gal was on the wood floor. :crazyeyes: She said she knew something...

Okay guys I am planning way ahead here for my eventual reef conversion from FOWLR I was thinking this: I currently have a 55gal setup and was thinking of keeping that as a center display tank with fish and LR. i wanted to place overflow boxes off to each side draining into a 20gal long (or...

Okay, I knew it, I knew I wasn't crazy and saw a crab the other night when the lights were out and I was looking at th rocks with the moonlights on. I got a new batch of LR from the LFS and that is when I started seeing him. He was dark (well the tank was dark) and I remember he had hairy...

Okay all, my tank is ready for more stocking. As you can see from my profile, I have the 2 requisite clowns, a peppermint shrimp to take care of a couple of small unwanted anemones, and some various snails and hermits. My request is this, if this were your ideal tank that will eventually move...

Hi all: I finally decided to go from FW to SW with a 55gal tank. My plans are to start out with a FO with some reef rock for the natural look. I want to seed it with some LR until the rest of it goes live for a FOwLR, and then eventually, move all the way into a reef environment. Of course...
