i was thinking of just doing a drip into the tank of about one drop per second from a water bottle... do you think that would be enough to keep up with evaporation?

thanks, in your experience do you think that one drop per second will be enough to a. keep the salinity down, and b. not use up the entire water bottle over the course of three weeks or so?

just got back from my LFS, got an auto feeder and they told me i could use a water bottle with a tube and valve to control the drip for an auto top off.. does that sound like a reasonable idea?

well small problem.. for those 10 days, no one at all will be with the tank.. i personally won't be there for three weeks and i have someone who is going to take care of the tank for the whole time excluding 10 days where they will be gone for the holidays.. can i get an auto top off device and...

I am going away and for 10 days this month my tank will be unattended. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on how to feed my fish in my 14gallon nano cube while I am away.. I already have timers on the lights and hopefully my cleanup crew will keep things under control when I am...

is it possible that they may hatch into new snails? or is that a long shot in captivity.. is there anyway to set the conditions so that there is a greater chance of that happening (i could use some new snails anyway)

i just noticed saw this today.. it appeared overnight, it is white and looks like a series of loops.. does anyone have an idea what it might be?

awesome! i am glad its a good thing.. i take it these come as hitchhikers in the live rock?

thanks! what kind of stuff do they feed on out of curiosity?

another worm for you guys to look at! i happened to be up late and had most of the lights off in the room including the tank lights, i happened to look over and see this worm like thing crawling on the rock.. i got out a flashlight with a red cover and was able to look at it pretty close, it...

not to hijack the thread but I am also curious about moving.. if i have to move my tank from southern california to northern california would i just follow the same steps and put it all in the car and go? its about a 7 hour drive..

thanks! i figured they were fine, but just thought it was kind of neat how they slept/hung out together even at night..

quick question.. i hadn't ever really looked, but i just noticed that my two O. clowns seem to "sleep" vertically in the corner of the tank together. is this normal? i am just curious about their behavior patterns thanks!!

thanks! i'll check to see if they have any at my lfs.. any other ideas out there?

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what else I could add successfully to my 14 gallon nano-cube. I currently have two O. Clowns in there (which I know I will have to move to a bigger tank once they get bigger), some hermit crabs and snails.. I just have some live rock and sand in there...

thanks, thats how i usually acclimate, but the lfs told me it was ok with snails/hermits to just float the bag... oh well! they seem to be doing well now

thanks for all the replies! i thought that the powerhead might be a better idea than air stones as I remembered them being a problem in the past.. i just got the two clowns literally two days ago and picked up some frozen food for them yesterday, I had two damsels in there before that I was...

these might have been molts, because i have only once found an empty shell.. i will have to check it out next time.. side question.. how big can the turbo snails get? i am curious how gigantic these things can be..

i was at my lfs today and talking about how i have a major algea problem since my tank is in the window.. i have been trying to come up with ways to cut it down, but i think i am basically stuck with just scrubbing it off.. the problem is, when is scrub it off it accumulates on the surface of...

have you tried brine shrimp at all? do they not like them?

i acclimated them for like 30 minutes just floating as my LFS said.. i did put some of my own water in their too because I had remembered with inverts that you should do that, he was really active all yesterday and today too, the other turbo snail that I got with him is still active.. i also...

I bought two turbo snails yesterday and they seemed to be doing fine in the tank just cruising around cleaning the walls. The larger one (which is pretty big) seems to have stopped moving. He stopped face down in the sand for a couple hours so I moved him to be closer to the glass. He now is...

not going to be upgrading for a bit, eventually I will be though... just got some vita chem, brine, and garlic extreme.. hopefully they will like it! EDIT: just fed them.. they arent too interested in it, they kind of bite at it and spit it out, it's almost as if they don't know what to do...

i use to have a true perc so i figured that when they said it was a percula that it was probably more likely an O clown.. it is rather yellow, almost a tangerine color is an o clown a better fit for my size tank? it does seem like it is a young one though based on the size

thanks! i will grab some later today, attached is the best pic i can get of one of them.. they were swimming around too fast to get the camera to focus on them well.. let me know what type you think it is if you dont mind!
