Hey gang, I purchased a 12 gallon Fluval Edge, going to make it a FOWLR tank to start, possibly get some mushrooms later on down the line. My question is on the stand. I really don't like the stands available now, and it doesn't seem like there's a specific one that really sets this tank off...

Hi gang, I'm hoping someone can assist in identifying what species of seahorse I just purchased. I signed up for SeaHorse.org, but I can't get to any of the forums. I haven't been validated by the admin yet, so that may be why. Here is a pic: I purchased him/her tonight from the LFS for...

Hi, I need some help determining a problem testing my Calcium levels. I am moving up to Shrooms from a FOWLR setup. So now I have a FOWLR + Shrooms tank. :D I recently purchased a Salifert Calcium Test Kit, and have tried testing my Calcium levels without success twice so far. The...

Hi, I tried searching for this, and while I did find lots of useful info, none that quite pertained to my question, so here goes: Background: When I purchased my tank a few years ago, I had only the intention of a predator tank with some rock, wasn't even sure to have live rock or not, so I...

Hi gang, I went to the fish store yesterday, and they were having a sale ($2/lb) on some live rock that was old, some of the stuff was smaller pieces broken off from larger pieces. There wasn't much good stuff, however I managed to dig around and find some pieces that looked colorful enough...

Hi all, It's been awhile since I've posted, thought I would give a quick Thomas update. He's doing fine! Here's a quick summary: 1. He is hand fed. 2. Weaned onto frozen foods (uncooked fresh shrimp, mussels, squid, clams, etc) 3. He's never tried to escape, not even once. 4. He sometimes...

Hi! I'm so excited I don't know where to begin. Thomas has progressed even faster than I anticipated. He is completely used to me now and comes over and checks us out! I have some amazing pics to show, he is SO COOL!! I have patiently been working with him, giving him a few hours of alone time...

Sorry for the low quality images. I turned the flash off so as not to startle him. In a couple weeks after he's settled in I will get some better shots. Thomas's tank, consisting of live rock, and various other items (yes, that is a hamster tunnel loop, a pink pottery vase, white pvc pipe, and...

Hi all, Well I've decided to setup an Octopus tank. I used to keep them many years ago (around 1989-1991). I miss them, and had almost forgotten about them until I happened to come across a post in another forum on how much fun another hobbyist was having with his new one. I plan on getting a...

Since online and LFS continue to harvest live rock from the ocean, will we ever reach a time when it will become scarce? Once you take these rocks out of the environment, what replaces them?

Hi all, I happened to be browsing the fish sites looking for cool, inexpensive fish, and I happened to see that Saltwaterfish.com has firefish gobies on sale with free shipping. They look like neat fish, I like the color scheme and the care level says easy, and reef-safe, and it also said they...

Hi, From your own personal or friend's experiences, where's the best place to buy live rock? I can't afford to buy a lot at once, I'm going to buy a little at a time. I have a 35 gallon plexiglas hex aquarium. I plan on moving up to a 125 gallon once the cowfish and snowflake eel get bigger...
