How many people here make at least some of their food themselves? I used to buy beefheart and make a food back in the day when I had piranahs. For the most part I buy my SW fish frozen food once a week, and pellets or flakes a couple times a week. I'd like to make some chunky/meaty frozen...

I've only purchased livestock from my LFS, and they just annouced they're closing. I'm sad now.

I've read what vendor's sites have had to say about these coral, but I'd like to hear from people on here with experience. Who has them, for how long, how quickly do they grow, what's the cheapest price anyone has paid for them, etc. From what I've seen I think they look amazing, but I think...

Let me know if you've seen this before. It doesn't look that strange, but I'd like to know what it is: It doesn't quite look like a snail. The shell isn't very high at all. I did touch it to make sure it was hard. It is rounded, but very flat.

Hi All, I was wondering who uses an ATO system? For those that have had experience with them, what are the drawlbacks? Has anyone had one that was over pumping and overflowing a tank? I'd love to not have to pour water into the tnak every day, but nervous about an ATO gone wrong. Thanks for...

I did a search on the forum and found a lot of posts about identifying snail eggs, but not anything on the best way to keep them. I have some on the front wall of my biocube. There are two separate zig zag designs. I know if I just leave them there I'll never see any snails. Do you think if...

I am looking for some advise on the Saddle Puffer. I've always wanted a porcupine puffer, but I'm not ready to keep a bigger tank to house it in. I'll be setting up a 55G tank in the near future, and was looking into this fish instead. I'm assuming that this will restrict me from having any...

I've bought from premium aquatics before, very good stuff. I want more, but think I should wait another month until the temps are up for better shipping. I figure less die off, I get the insulated box with the heat pad, but still when its 30F at night.... anyhow. I've bought Manado, Bali Alor, &...

I try to take out all the rocks when I move a tank to reduce the weight as much as possible. I got down to one of the bottom rocks so I could take out my feather duster that was against it. I figured I'd just lift it out and be done with, well that thing was totally stuck to the rock. Anyone...

YouTube - Sebae Clownfish, Tearing Up Xenia Bed Just moved the tank today, so there was a major live rock restructure. That is the area where they usually sleep in the largest Xenia bed, That rock was only shifted a bit. I've never seen them act quite like this. The female just fanned her...

There have been a few deaths in the tank since I've had it over a year ago. Never any sign of sickness or starvation, and last time no evidence of the fish at all. During the move I took the time to search. I had thought it was a mantis or pistol shrimp because I did hear the "clicking" I...

Can anyone give me a yay or nay for these guys. I have cleaners in my other two tanks, but wanted something different for this one. Its a 20G tank, pair of clarkiis and a yellow watchman goby so far. I've had peppermints before, but notice they like to hide a lot. Looking for a shrimp that I...

I've seen it before, but where do I find it, It is the white plastic grate that people put on top of their tanks to prevent fish from jumping out. I think I've heard someone say that they sell it at Lowes or HomeDepot, but I don't know what you'd call it, or what department. Can anyone help...

I've been checking craigslist for a 125G, and a bigger tank to upgrade my 38G w/ 10G sump. I also have a 29G biocube. I decided with a baby on the way maybe I shouldn't go all out, save money and time. I have a 20G and stand just sitting in the back room. I want to do something different...

Hi All, I moved my biocube for the second time in a little less than a month (originally moved it to get the flooring done in the room it was in, now we're gonna go the flooring in the room its in now....) So this time I wanted to get that heater out of the bottom of the tank. I took out the...

A friend has these two corals, but I couldn't place the name of them, I know I've seen the one before, but just can't put my finger on it. Thanks in adavance!

Well my LFS actually has a Reef Octopus, fairly small at the moment. Of course I see that and thought I want it!!!! I saw it was still there this week, and for fun I looked up what is required to keep one in an aquarium...

Its not really reef related, but very neat. It does mention how most fish can not see red light at one point. YouTube - The Deep Ocean - Part Two - Bioluminescence

I enjoy peeking in on my tanks at night to see what may be lurking around the rocks. What does everyone use to spy on their tanks at night? I haven't bought anything specific, but would like to. So far I just use one of those small keychain flashlights. I've heard something about a "red...

YouTube - 0304112027 Sorry I forget how to embed the video. I got the anemone earlier today and set him on a rock near a crevice. The anemone dropped the rock it was stuck on, and went away from where I put it and down the side of the rock into a Xenia forest. As the day went on it...

I'm just totally amazed at the regrowth. On Feb 20th I did some hacking and slashing of my Xenia. I simply took a sharp pair of surgical scissors and cut them close to the rock. Look how much they've grown. (not the big piece in the middle of course) First I noticed it wasn't smooth...

Months and months ago I bought a red neon goby to put in my 29G tank. I wanted something small, but I thought this guy was too small. My lil' nephew was with me, and coaxed me into buying it. It stuck around for a couple months, mainly staying in the back around the rocks. I introduced an...

This is mostly out of curiousity, but are there any "easy" saltwater fish for breeding? No, its not to make money off of them. I just always enjoyed raising guppies in my freshwater tanks, well that was quite a few years ago. I wouldn't mind attempting the same thing with a saltwater fish. :)

Active tank this afternoon, so I grabbed my phone and took this clip. Sebae Clownfish, Coral Catfish, Pajama Cardinals. You can see where I did some major Xenia chopping this morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cri-6Byv1Y

This is a tank I'm thinking about getting. I don't have a lot of specs though. What I do have disturbs me a bit, but maybe I'm wrong, that's why I figured I'd post it here. yellow tang blue hippo tang various damsels scooter blenny clown fish coral banded shrimp some type of lobster bi color...
