First off can you give some more details in your post like how long the tank has been running, and various other water specs? Second, you don't explain how you go about not needing to do water changes. You say what supplements you use. And the supplements you use are what most people who want a...

first off i live in the erie area but sry i dont want a coperband. secondly theres more then one store so id try trading it in to a store other then the one u bought it probly wont make back what you paid for it but atleast get something out of it besides a dead fish. hopfully it was just a mini...

wow im sry but there is no problem with feeding frozen foods at all period. commercial shrimp come of sw orgin and are probly the healthiest food stuff for a salt water preds. also buy the raw shrimp and freeze it yourself most of the time already frozen shrimp in bags are cooked. trying to say...

can you post pics of just claws. they seem to have a gap designed for picking things off rocks. if there isnt a gap between the claws then its designed for catching, crushing and cutting prey items.

hmm just thought of another idea you always just get a background for the tank. maybe cover the sides and just leave the front visible if your that worried.

bullet makes nice skimmers as do euro reef for large tanks. i wouldnt recomend a ventri style tho on a tnak that size. as for top off personlly if i wasnt going to add water daily id go gavity feeddiy systems. i cant rly think of a top off pump feed system off the top of my head.

well to awnser your question no. me and my dad have run numorous tanks off just sunlight. the only thing about widows is i forgot name of compound but it prevents some of the color rays that give the corals more vibratant colors, theyd look a little dull, but grew like mad. you would not have...

are u getting well water or treated water from waste managment plants?

ok... snakeheads are illegal in the us but... most species stay in a range small enough for tanks that arnt huge. all the immatuity happens is when oriental markets use to sell snakeheads as food for there asian costomer( its considered good luck to eat them) and they couldnt sell them so...

im not sure but i think that your referring to pods? or the acctual rock becuase pods have a pretty long life time along with everything esle and will continue to repopulate the rock as long as the bleeny doesnt over eat the supply on the rocks. i wouldnt keep anything requiring pods in anything...

well i always get confused when buying rock on dead rock and base rock so often times its best to call them and make sure you know what your getting adding "dead" rock meaning in my mind rock thats been in sw just doesnt have living organisms on it, to an established tank isnt a very good idea...

if they were afaricans id say no because most rocks buffer ph lower, to low for a sw tank i believe the rocks are lava rocks? if im not mistaken. and if there was copper on the rocks you would have had adverse affects with your fw fish over a period of time. any bacteria would die off once added...

the only time i wouldnt recomend silca based sand is when u have rays sw or fw or fish that burry them selves or sharks. thats really the only reason people dont recomend silca based sand is because some people believe it iritates the fishes skin

firstly id just say feed him ghost shrimp instead of gold fish. plain and simple gold fish will put a shorten the lifespan of saltwater fish. plenty of articles out there. id feed ghost shrimp and put the food you plan on feeding in the water at the same time. after a while remove the ghost...

i would say your pushing it with 2tangs already other fish would have no problem

the dead stuff on the dead rock starts to rot with amonia breaking down the decomposing elements.

from personal experince i wouldnt put a mangrove in a tank with suspended lighting cause so the roots are under water the rest is above, and make sure if your sump or refuge is in a differant room it must be heated even tho the water is heated the part of the plant outside the water will get to...

just a sugustion use ball valves or know the size of your bulkhead and the maxium volume of water your balkhead can handle. i doubt a regular reef ready 75gal can handle a mag9.5 even with head height just a thought though. good luck

well lion lish are anything but a community fish even the dwarf varances and would cause many problems in a community tank. also your inverts wouldnt last long with a lion

personally id never let a rule decide what fish to get and what not to get. the rule changes fish to fish depending on a lot of differant elements that can not be measured. also something not sure about smaller fish but i know when working with some lager fish look at the foot print of the tank...

the key thing with bio-balls is to have a prefilter and keep the particle waste out of the balls. they will need little to no cleaning and will have as much good bacteria as rubble rock if not more with the added surface area provided with the balls. also instead of ruble rock try maybe lava...

Wow posts on this board keep getting crazier and crazier. Yes their are some fish who live in fresh water and go out to sea and breed. Some salwater fish come bakc into freshwater to breed. There is also eveidence that it is good for marine fish to experience not as salty marine water during...

This is the scariest post i have ever read on any fish forum.

This question is a toughy because i love and think that all fish are wild and amazing. But eels usually catch my eye at my lfs and look amazing and the way they swim is incredible.
