We aren't planning on setting up our system again anytime soon so we're trying to make some room. Selling a 26g bowfront with stand, black with black trim. I have not cleaned out the tank yet (still has coraline) since breaking it down and rinsing it out. There are some scratches in the glass...

The past couple of days I've noticed some very peculiar antics happening in the tank. My wife and I have a usual routine of sitting on the bed every night after the kids are asleep to feed and watch the tank and talk for an hour or so. We have 2 Osc. Clowns and a CBS in the tank. The clowns...

Ok...like my sig says, I'm back into the hobby after an extended furlough. I just setup my tank last week. Dropped the shrimp in to start the cycle on the 11th. Here are the test results as of Friday. SG: 1.024 pH: 7.8 (going to wait to see if it comes up on it own) Amm: 0.25ppm Nitrites &...

Just setup the tank a few days ago. Have a few hitchhikers popping up. This one's ID eludes me. At first I thought flatworm when I saw one on the glass. But seeing them on the rock they have more of a grub shape. They are 1/4" long, white-gray with a gray stripe along the side. No protuberaces...

Finally got around to finding homes for my livestock so everything else is ready to go. Here is what I have left: 55gal tank with wood stand. About 45-50lbs of LR. About 40lbs of live sand. Current USA Dual Satellite 4x65w PC fixture. (One ballast is going out I think, flickering even with...

Well. It's taken me a long time to come to the decision to actually let my little hobby go. Over the past few months I've let some livestock go out to friends etc so I'm down to just 3 fish and a very loud pistol shrimp. Here's what I got: 55gal tank with stand Satellite 4x65w 48" PC light...

I'm leaving for sunny and warm MAUI on the 15th. I'm so excited I'm about to burst. I've got 9 snorkle trips planned already!!! My brother lives there and is working on getting me a permit for aquatic collection for aquarium purposes. I'm mostly just going to collect inverts. I may come...

This guy (brown, fuzzy stuff) started off about 1/4" in diameter and now is about 3" x 4". Any ideas? TIA Fireman

I have a brain (Wellsophyllia I think) that is just beautiful. It usually inflates to a modest size (see pic - usual size) but yesterday it REALLY inflated! I haven't resized the pic yet of the extra inflation. Is this normal? I have 4x65w PC lights and the bulbs are just at 9mos old. I was...

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! My Attack Clown. :lol:

What do you think of this macro shot of a brain? Am I getting better?

I need a couple of ID's if possible. Both pics are in my gallery pending approval. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=5452 First is the pinkish-purple coral. It came on a piece of LR from another reef tank. It originally was one piece but then split into...

I finally got my new camera in and ofcourse what are the first pics I take? No, not my 2 year old. No, not the wife. The aquarium ofcouse!! I really like the quality of the some of the pics but I'm still working out the focus in macro mode. I got some really great shots. I love the...

I have a Yel. Tang that believes he is a clown. He always "schools" with my 2 Sebae Clowns and even hangs out in their anemone!!!!! :roll: :lol: It doesn't seem to sting him. Anyone ever seen that before? I'll try and get a pic.

Here's a sad story....I've been using the soda bottle trap method for the past few days to catch a pistol shrimp that has just gotten too big for his breeches and has piled up the sand on one side of the tank to an almost 8" mound. I'd had enough of that, so I decided to catch him and trade him...

After many marraige counseling sessions my Sebae clowns are finally in love and SHARING the anemone! They are even starting to dance for each other. It's a wonderful sight to see them snuggled up next to each other in the anemone at lights out. Now, I just need to start playing some Marvin...

Ok....I bought a pistol for my yellow watchman goby a few months ago (and they have completely ignored each other). The shrimp is about 3" long. Hear the usual popping from the tank. Recently, noticed more than usual popping sounds....and from diff areas of the tank. So, after some...

I'm currently running a 55 reef (learning tank) and I'm saving for a 220gal. to make a reef also. The trade-off is my wife wants a nano for the bedroom before I can get my big display. I don't know anything about nanos so here's my question(s): 1. Which is more recommended? a. JBJ Nano...

I have 2 mushroom frags for sale or trade. Mushrooms are blue when retracted and reddish when expanded. Frag #1 - 11 mushrooms on a 3" rock Frag #2 - 4-5 mushrooms on a 3" rock. Also, I can frag the following if requested: yellow finger gorgonian ....that frag would be a single stalk 4-6" tall...

I'm building a scaled down version of a CPR bakpak2 for my 5 1/2gal. nano FOWLR. The only thing I can't quite figure out is how to make the collection cup. The CPR cup has a curved funnel shape on the bottom and I can't figure out how to make it. Any ideas or alternatives? Thanks

I noticed last night that my yellow watchman goby has a large (1/4 in. dia or so) white patch on it's side about 1/8" in. behind it's gill. I've tried getting a pic but I just can't get one close enough with any detail. Any ideas what the prob could be? Only strange behavior is he isn't...

I just saw a post regarding a Sebae anemone splitting...mine seems to have done the same except into 3. Here's a weird question though....I've noticed the anemone as some tentacles that seem malformed. There are some that are larger than others and have multiple "tips", almost like the...

I just picked up a bunch of "plexiglass" for free. I've been wanting to make a fuge. My question is how can you tell what the plastic is? It's a clear plastic with a translucent green protection film on it with no writing. I'm going to be making my own HOB fuge like the CPR model. I...

I'm looking for some nice colored zoos. Also, any other coral frags that I can get....looking to add to my reef. Let me know what you have. Thanks! Fireman

I've got a yellow finger gorgonian (Diodogorgia nodulifera) frag for trade. It's on a piece of rock and the frag is approximately 5"-6". Starting to branch already. I can frag more if needed but there will be a waiting period of a couple weeks to make sure any new frag will be OK before it...
