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...

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?

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...

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!!

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...

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...

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...

I just got a pair of o clowns for my 14 gallon nano-cube.. they have been in for just a day and look fairly well acclimated (swimming all around), i figured i would give it a shot and feed them some prime reef flakes.. they kind of were interested in it, but not interested enough to swallow...

does anyone know of a type/brand of small powerhead for that would give a decent amount of output but would not be too obtrusive in a 14 gallon tank? i bought a small rio but it is still way too big, it becomes the focus of the tank so i returned it. i am not sure if i need a second powerhead...

I have a 14 gallon Bio-Cube that has been up for about 6 or 7 weeks now. My water parameters are all perfect (0 across the board, PH 8.2) and I only have two fish, some live rock/sand, crabs and snails in it. The problem I am having, is that there is a very large window in the room where the...

Does anyone know of a place online to order oceanic systems bio-cube supplies? Specifically replacement sponge and carbon cartridge? I can't seem to find them in my LFS.. Also, how often should I be changing my sponge? I know carbon should be pretty frequent.. Thanks!!

Just a quick question.. what is the effect (both positive and negative) in general and more specifically on my water chemistry of running my 6 week old 14 gallon biocube with no lights for a few days? The reason I ask is, I just got back from being away for 4 days and didn't get a timer for...

I have noticed a couple of times in the last week or so that after I do work with my hand in my Oceanic Systems 14 Gallon Bio-Cube that there is a small water droplet coming from the casing. It drips for a little while, really small amounts of water and then dries up. I am not sure what is...

In my new 14 gallon nano-cube tank there has been a huge build up of a lime green colored algae on my glass almost daily. I leave for a couple of hours and its there again when I come back. I am scraping it off nightly and by the next day it is back to where I started. There are only two...

I just finished cycling my tank and picked up a pair of damsels from my LFS, one a blue and one a yellow tailed.. when i was at the lfs the person helping me couldn't get to the yellow tailed one (last one in the tank) as it had swam into a little rock, she held the rock above the water and...

Has anyone ever used the Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef Flake Food? It comes in a purple containe, says it is for marine tropical and freshwater fish. I bought some today when I bought my two damsels on my newly set up tank. I have them all acclimated and they are swimming around quite nicely so I...

i am just nearing the end of the cycling process (i think/hope) and my live rock I have been noticing a ton of silver air bubbles on the rock.. i remember on my old aquarium the risk of cyano during cycling.. how do I tell if it is due to cyano or if these are just air bubbles from lack of...

I was wondering what everyone's opinion on adding an extra pack of activated charcol to my newly started 14 gallon biocube tank was? It only has a small, eclipse brand style, slide in charcol pack and I was thinking that if I put a pouch of charcol next to it it may increase the filtration. Is...

Does anyone know of a good Saltwater aquarium store near Los Angeles Airport? I can't seem to find a list online or in the yellow pages that seems to be decent.. I have been going to Gardena (45 min away in traffic).. Thanks!

I am starting the process of cycling my 14 Gallon Oceanic BioCube tank. I put in some live rock and live sand and so far so good. My question is though, this new tank has no Ceramic Ring filtration system, or activated charcol pack. instead it uses a Wet/Dry filter system using an insert filled...

Hello, I just purchased a new 14 gallon tank to start a mini reef in. I have two other 40 other saltwater reefs and thought it would be nice to get something to work on in a smaller scale. I purchased a Nano-Cube tank with the filtration all built in and 12 pounds (two pieces) of Vanuatu...
