    Pond I have been building

    This is after about six months of work. It rained a little and already holds water from just an inch of rain. It's about 150 ft long and 50 ft in the widest spot. Probably will stock with bass.

    copper/heavy metal remover

    So after I had a heater explode, I started running copper/heavy metal remover. I have run two bags in a month and they turn black within a week. Should I keep adding it till there is no color change? Will it ever stop changing color?

    Do you ever have people come over that dont comment on your tank

    I just think it is crazy when people like repair men or cable guy or friends come over and don't comment on the fish tank. I had a cable guy say "nice discus". I have clown fish! I mean come on. Who can look at our tanks and say nothing.

    Duncan fragged itself

    I guess this is how they propagate. My duncan dropped a head. Thought it was sick. But it turns out, the head that dropped, is doing great. My current duncan has 20 heads. The new one landed and has a new head growing. Has anyone else had this happen.

    stray voltage help

    How do you know if you have stray voltage? Should there be any? I ask because I put a voltage meter on my tank and it showed .3,.2 and went up and down. Should I get a probe? How exactly do you test your water? What should I ground the negative on voltage meter to?

    I looked in my refugium tonight and found these. Anyone know about the shrimp. The rocks were just live rock. The clam and the shrimp appeared out of no where. I had these shrimp in my dt before but not seen them in 8 months. The shrimp can jump down to the sand and "vibrate" until he is...

    Random pod explosion?

    Last night noticed fish eating. Grabbed flashlight and there were at least a few hundred pod looking things swimming around. Then from a hole on a rock, a couple hundred more blew out. What could it be? Were very small. Looked about size of micro bubbles. They were jerking all around. :eating:

    Fuge up and running. Now what?

    So I built a fuge for my 29 g biocube and it is up and running. Has 2 types of algae in it. My water parameters are perfect. Phosphates show less than .25 or whatever the lowest color is. So should I remove phosguard and let algae take over?

    My fish with ich died. I have two clowns that do not have ich. My question is, since my clowns seem strong enough to not get the ich does that mean it will run its course? If they dont get it then won't it die off? So when I get new fish I want to feel safe that tank is clear (I am not...
