I love this idea! Can't wait to see it all finished :)

A refractometer is going be your best bet because it is going to be more accurate which is important when raising the salinity by such a small about each week. There is a link in the puffer forum that explains in detail how to raise it. The link is...

It really just depends on the species as far as there specific requirements. But as far as dwarfs go they need full FW. From what I know about them they can be just as aggressive as some of the larger species so make sure you don't over crowed them. The only place iv seen them for sale is...

You can buy a sponge that goes over the intake. That way fish and other critters won't get stuck. I have one on a shrimp tank and it works perfect! Never had any trouble with the tiny shrimp being sucked onto it. The one I have I think is for fuval filters but even though I have aquaclears and...

I have ghost and RCS and when they die there bodies turn an orangish color. Actually it's about the same color as raw shrimp we would buy from the grocery store... Which I guess maybe makes sense when you think about it. Sorry to hear about your shrimp though! They are cool little creatures.

Very cool pics!! I have a couple of those apps too, there a lot of fun to play around with. Your f8 looks great! So fat and happy :) lol. The old school photo of your sleeve looks awesome!! It fits perfectly with that style of art!

I have had good luck with fish from the jacks in marysville and Bellefontaine. Iv also been to the one on morse rd, the fish looked really good and they also had some saltwater fish that I haven't seen in pet stores before. With that said I can't vouch for any of the staff, I just wanted to say...

I vote bar stool :) lol

Yeah I actually got kicked by both of his back hooves.. One in the forehead and the other right under my ribs. I was ok, it didnt knock me out or anything but the people I was with insisted I go to the hospital. So they did scans or whatever and said I was really lucky and I have a hard head...

So I was just going through some of the older threads before falling asleep, saw this and thought I'd ask how your head was doing now? I can sympathize with a head gash cause I was kicked by a horse, o I guess almost 2 months ago now but I still have a knot above my eye that's pretty sore to...

Haha!! It sounds like you had to go though a lot to get it. It better have turned out to be pretty sweet considering all that ;) I definitely know what it's like to have to go around dog surprises in your backyard. Lol.

I really like the rock you added in the middle! Very cool looking.

If its that it won't try and run at all, iv actually had that prob with one of my aquaclears. What I did was take the motor off (make sure there's no water in the filter) and clean out the pin wheel. I'm not even sure why that makes much difference but it worked on mine.. Hopefully you can get...

That could be pretty sweet!! I'm converting my GSPs to full marine and I'm planning on doing some caves and stuff with live rock. Apparently were on the same page again. Lol

Cool :) Definitely keep us plied with pics

I haven't had a chance to do my official shopping yet. Last night I didn't get home till late and went strait to bed and tonight I'm going to a concert,.. So hopefully tomorrow will be the day! But I'm tentatively planning on getting a protein skimmer so I'm pretty sure that will give me free...

I definitely agree with Wendi too! And I thought it was really cool how Brett talked about how the 2nd season would be more informative and educational, explaining more about how they cycle tanks and everything. I also thought it was interesting how he said he knows what hobbyists have been...

I love how the rocks glow!! That's really cool :) I'm sure f8s are loving their new home! I think it's funny that you set up landscaping and then think about it for a while cause that's EXACTLY how I do it!! Lol. It takes me a while to get it just right :)

Yeah I that's what I use. I found the puffer forum a while back and this article on there about converting to brackish water has really helped me! http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19348&sid=beaac01c00f5dd422009fcf7e42ed72d

Based on my research and experiences so far; If you already have a cycled SW tank then drip acclimation is prob ok if it's very slow. But if you are switching an established tank to SW also then raising it .002 per week is the best for the fish and bacteria. That way you won't experience a...

Hey Carey I just sent you a PM with my info. I'm so excited I saw this thread before I left for work or I wouldn't have been able to register in time! I'm only going to be a little late for work now. Lol (but I guess that's the beauty of working for yourself, no one to call you on it!!). This...

Phishy business is a really good store but they only do saltwater so if that's what your looking for definitely check them out. Other then that Iv had good experiences with several locations of Jacks Aquariums and Pets.

Definitely look at the invert section of aquabid!! There are some really good deals on there. Just be sure to check the sellers reputation, which there is always a link for on the pages.

Iv heard good things about ordering fish from liveaquaria.com. I personally haven't ordered from them but I am considering getting some SW fish from them when I get my latest tank all set up. Their figure 8s are under the brackish fish section that you can get to from the bottom of either the...

I also agree with Patterson, test with ghost shrimp first. But do keep in mind that it's not totally uncommon for several of them to die due to poor conditions they have previously been kept in because there considered feeder shrimp. So IME the test is to find out if any of your fish eat the...
