Hello guys, haven't been here in a while, been so busy. Anyways, since i upgraded to my 55gal 6 months ago, i noticed these "baby" snails on my glass and rocks. Never really paid much attention, but sometimes i noticed alot of them spread all over the tank. Well after looking at Xtalreef i think...

I have been keeping my water super prestine and everything perfect to avoid stressing my fish, specially my blue hippo tang. I have had the tang for almost 2 full months and the LFS i purchase my RO water from said i can cut back now because the ICH cycle is 6 weeks and as long as i don;t add...

I saw something the other day that drew my attention, like 5 or 6 little mushrooms, maybe the size of a pencil's eraser each. This were kind of what they looked like: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=653 My question is, i have a simple FOWLR tank with simple, will...

I was getting ready to make a diy 20gal long sump for my 55gal, but there is no way the tank will fit in the cabinet. I don;t want to leave out because it would be an eye sore and a pain in the ***. After measuring everything i can easily fit a 10gal, maybe even 15gal tall. But that means that...

Not fish, i am talking about shrimp. So far i have 3 peppermints and 3 camel. I wanted a skunk cleaner, maybe 2 of them. Would that be too many shrimp in a 55 gallon? If not, would adding a fire shimp later on be way too much?;) Lol Leo

About a month ago i picked up a LemonPeel Angel from my lfs. He was so active and ate so much everytime i dropped some flakes in the tank at the lfs. I also picked up some shrimps, 3 camel shrimps to join my 3 peppermints. The angel is doing great and eats alot. My second addition wasn't...

Haven't been around in a while, but i have a few questions. 1- i have a bak pak skimmer, and its a little noisy, will that bother the fish at all? 2- i have 2 Hydor Koralia 3 powerheads, during the day the fish don't seem to mind the water movement, but should i turn them off at night ...

about a month ago i got a 55 gallon tank on sale and started to work on the switch to the new 55 from the old 29. Here are a few pictures of the setup day, and pics of the new tank.... I took the change with the cycle, because i used my LR from the 29 and got more LR from the my lfs, which is...

I been waiting for several months now for a cheap 55gal tank to pop up on ebay or craigs list, but i haven't really found anything close by, or nothing cheap enough to drive to get it. But finally thanks to a nice mistake from Petco, i got it for $100. I never really looked at those aquarium...

I had 3 peppermint shrimps and a skunk shrimp in my tank. they all get along fine, but i recently lost my skunk shrimp. I wanted to get another one, but i like the fire shrimps also. Would it be a problem to keep peppermints/skunks/fire shrimps together ??? Anyone had any experience in this mix...

Well it sucks, lost my favorite fish ad shrimp. And had to give one up to a friend!!! Tank was running great, almost a year soon, then the air conditioning in my house breaks down. Took 5 days to fix it. I tried my all to keep the water temp below 85( i usually have it at 80). But in south...

Haven't been here in a while, i got a real good deal on a nice 55gal with a stand and hood. It was from Petsupermarket and with a coupon and discount from a friend that works there it was about $120. Anyways i will start over with new sand and buy about 20lbs of cured live rock from lfs then add...

Haven't been here in a while, but everything with my tank is going great. all tests come back good, and fish are doing great, shrimp are monting like crazy here. Anyways, on the back wall of the tank, and on some of the equip. i noticed white dots growing, when i do a PWC and clean the equip. i...

I will be out of town for the holidays for about 3 weeks. My brother will be incharge of my tank, but he will only feed and measure salinity/topoff. Over the past 2 weeks i did two 50% pwc's, the tank is clean and looks clear. i changed my filter media because it was disgusting!! Oh and i added...

hey guys, i had mention a couple of weeks back that my girlfriend also has a small 10gal sw fish tank, she had it for about 2 months now and just got over a diaton problem. Now she said that on a small are of her sand, there is like a darkgreen/black slime. it is very small area, wonder what it...

OK got a new Feather Duster last week, and all was good. But i was having a hard time keeping it in place, so i did place it by some rocks in a small cave and it stayed fine. However i do have 3 Pepper Shrimps, and thats their handout at night, so one day at night i saw one of them messing with...

i got a nice on from the lfs, BUT i am having a hard time keeping it still in the tank. I have a good flow so it won't stay on the lr, but when it goes in the sand, it wobbles and falls over, or stays in the tude until i fix it, what can i do to keep it in place?? thanks Leo

What do you guys think of them ? good addition or bad ? Thanks Leo

Oh so i got about 4 astrea snails and they have been doing a great job on my diaton(brown stuff, don't know how to spell it) on the lr, but they don't even bother going in the sand unless they are moving from the wall of the tank to the lr. Is this normal ?? i want something to help move...

I guess this filter doesn't do much for my sw tank. I was swapping filters and noticed a bunch of little bugs on it, i am guessing hitchhikers that got sucked in. Anyways can i get away with about 1.5lbs of lr and a good skimmer ??? and if yes, what other things could i use my filter for ? I...

Well i went "shopping" this weekend at the lfs and wasn't thinking when i got my clean up crew. I got 3 peppermint shrimps, 2 dwarf red leg hermits, 4 astrea snails and 1 skunk cleaner shrimp. everyone was fine for the first few days. Snails ate all the diatons in my rocks, all 4 shrimps were...

Well about 2 weeks ago, i asked about moons lights, everyone said they were a good addition to the tank aand all, so i got a small one. Well i am afraid it might be TOO strong. I work at night, and when i used to get home around midnight, my clowns would be sleeping. Now they are always swimming...

On the top of my LR i have a few pieces of Tonga Branch, i am not sure if thats how you spell it( if you look at my pics, you will see it on the left). Anyways, it was becoming VERY brown, but i did 2 water tests in 3 days and all levels are perfect. I also did buy 2 astrea snail, and i notice...
