Howdy! Ok, so I don't have a complete crab to show, but I found this part of a shed. It was a complete claw but the movable part came off as I grabbed it out of the tank. Any ideas on what kind this is?

Well, I wanted to wait until I had all or at least a vast majority of my supplies in before making a post up, so here we go. I'm jumping into the LED world. I had kicked around the idea of GU10 bulbs, then doing the 20-50 watt bulbs but in the end just decided to run with 3 watt ones. I did...

So in the last couple of weeks I noticed two separate piles of rubble starting to form. I thought it was just from currents until I started to see life. I have no idea what this could be. Thoughts? Thanks!

Howdy! I don't read every post (I know, shame on me!) so at the end of the reading I normally go to the bottom of the page and "mark all posts as read". Well, the last couple of days I'll do that and it comes back with an error that an invalid page was specified. Figured I'd bring this up to...

Can someone help me with what kind of crab this is?

I wasn't sure where else to post this up. Someone on my local reef club posted this up and thought it was really cool. Lots of money went into this tank! Simply Amazing 3,600 liter LFS Display — Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine

Well, pretty much as the title says, I'm trying to find out what is used to cover the top of a tank to help keep fish from jumping. I really don't want to use plexy or glass because I don't want to heat up the water any more than is already going on. Is there a screen covering that won't go...

So I found this guy in my tank and was able to get him out. I was not, however, able to get all of them and I know of at least one more (smaller one) that got away. I'm sure it is an isopod but I don't know if this is a good or bad one. He is about 1/2" long.

Howdy, Quick question. I have several Majano Anemones on one power head. This power head was out of water for over 24 hours and they still lived. I can't get to them because they pull back into the slots of the power head. Can I just boil this power head to kill them off? I don't want to...

Howdy! So I've got my first request for an ID. Not sure what this guy is. From the bottom looks like a snail and from the top looks like a piece of rock! About 1/2" long but only 1/8" tall if that. When I grabbed it to take a picture it rolled up into a little ball.

Howdy! Finally I get to do one of my own! I'm like a child in a candy store after I've eaten half! Yippie! Ok, now that I've gone and made fun of myself I'm ready to get down to business! :fish2: I have a 90g tank (used) with a 55g sump (used). Built my own stand (see...

Ok, I swear I followed directions but it is really hard to calculate exactly how much water I have in my 44g brute cans that I used to mix. I figured I had very close to 40g in each. I added 1/2 cup per gallon as instructed. In one can I have 1.028 salinity and the other I have 1.022...

Howdy, How long can a salt water mix in a container last before using? I have 40g of water made up and in a container with 3 power heads going but due to a death in the family I had to immediately leave and not use it. It will be at least 2 weeks if not 3 before I can actually put it into...

Howdy! With all the talk of LEDs I'm always on the lookout with different (and easy) ways to get things going. In my research I have found another option. These lights can use a screw in base like a regular light bulb or a T5 style twist in. Each bulb has 3 1w LEDs that can be in different...

Howdy! Time is quickly approaching my setup of the 90g. I know it will still be a couple weeks until the fishless cycling is complete but I wanted to post a list of possible fish. I am looking for mostly non-aggressive community type fish. I will also have coral at some point but not right...

Howdy! So I've finally started my 90g tank project. I'm so excited! The first thing I've been working on is a new tank. Now I'm building this a little different because I wanted more room under the tank for the 55g sump and other stuff. So, instead of making a stand that is the same size as...

Howdy! I know there are several threads going on right now on some RO/DI filters and I'm sorry about making yet another thread but I really wanted to try and get some peoples thoughts. I think I know which one I want but lets get some feedback. The first one is from ebay: 150 GPD 6stage...

Howdy, I wasn't sure where to put this question as it doesn't specifically relate to fish tanks. I plan on setting up my computer next to where my fish tank (90g) will be. I plan on having the CPU as far away as possible but the printer and monitor will be next to it (within 1-2 feet). I do...

Howdy! Time is quickly approaching when I will be able to set up my new tank. Hopefully in the next 4-5 weeks. I have been thinking about the maintenance of the tank. It is a 90g with a 55g tank as a sump (so will not have a full 55g in it). At first it will be FOWLER but will become a reef...

Howdy! In preparation for my new 90g tank I am trying to nail down my sump. I'm going to use my old 55g tank as the sump. I will be building my own stand once I have all the preliminary measurements down to make sure I'm fine with height/etc. I appreciate any advice. Keep in mind that after...

So, I have recently purchased a 90g setup. Right now it is up and running at a LFS and they are using it as a display. One of their prior customers got sick and had to sell it, so I'm the lucky owner. What I will be setting up: 90g RR Tank. It does currently have 2 Korela power heads, a 2...

Howdy! I have a chance to purchase an already up and running setup at a LFS. This was a setup that a prior customer ordered, then unfortunately got sick and had to pass up. I don't know everything that comes (like the sizes and such) but all for 550: 90 Gallon RR tank Stand (looks like an...

Howdy! It has been a while since I've posted a picture. I figured I would go ahead and show a full tank shot. Here it is in all it's glory! (click on it for a bigger picture!) Edit: This is following my plan of having low growing - medium growing - tall growing plants. I really like...

Howdy, I have been thinking lately, after having a freshwater tank for a long time (and going to the extremes of having a 5lb Co2 etc) of going to Salt. I've never had a salt tank. Thing is, I'm not sure on the costs from what i have now to move to salt. I would only do FOWLR right now, then...

Granted, it is a cactus as I have a FW tank, but it is still a nice looking Coral Cactus :)
