I haven't had a planted tank for a few years now, I feel like a noob. Here is what I have: 12g Aquapod (open top) Current USA 18" Nova Extreme T-5 Fixture 2x18W 10K/460NM A bucket of eco-complete and some awesome driftwood Back when I had planted tanks the T-5's were still relatively new, and...

Selling my fixture on eBay. Mint condition. Comes with 4 total bulbs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260176565777&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=016

Figured I should share my one and only tank at the moment. Just added the first coral(torch) which can be seen at mid level.

I have a 29 gallon aquarium that has been in 3 different spots in the house. In all cases it was placed on a desk or table not made specifically for aquariums. I can never get the darn thing level, and I'm ready for a nice solid stand. What brands are good, and what are crap?

It seems that a pair of 900s would provide the optimum flow, but it would be good to hear from someone who has used this setup. I just don't want to create a hurricane since I hear the Maxi-Jets are powerful. I plan on keeping the tank a FOWLR for now, but will move into some easy corals within...

My Nano Cube cracked & I had to move everything into a spare 29 gallon. I think I'm done with JBJ, and want to stick with the 29. All I need is a light. I don't have a lot of cash at the moment, but if anyone has a spare NO fixture they want to get rid of I will happily take it. I would also...

Right now I am selling some of my used Co2 equipt for school money on eBay. Regulator, Power Diffuser, pH Controller, and a 12" PC light. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbrethickenQQhtZ-1

School is about to start and I could use the extra $ from selling my Co2 equip! I tried 34 watts of T-5 for a day, but it was a little too dim for my liking.

I have one of the Coralife timer power strips that has worked faithfully for about a year now. I recently turned my 20 long into a saltwater reef, and I need all the outlets I can get for the extra pumps and other equiptment. Does anyone know if it is safe to plug a 3 outlet adapter into one of...

Current Stock: Percula Clown Firefish Cleaner Shrimp Emerald Crab Several Hermits & Snails The tank is an AGA 20L with reef sand, 30 lbs of live rock, 375 GPH flow, and 130 PC Watts of light. Everything has been going great for a couple months now and all the inhabitants are eating and happy. I...

I have had my 10g FOWLR running for about 4 months now without a problem. I now feel confident in switching over to a 20 long that I have in storage and trying my hand at some soft coral. Here is what equiptment I have have at the moment: 20L AGA 100W Visi-Therm Stealth Heater AC 20 Filter...

I have unidentified fast growing stem plant that I can trade for low-medium/high light plants. I can give you a large bunch of it!

I didn't know I had any snails until this fellow showed up today with a few friends. He was eating dead leaves off the filter intake. Anyone recognize him?

For some reason I am having trouble finding some information on this. Currently I have an AquaClear 20 filled with LR rubble and a Rio 180 giving me about 220 GPH flow. Is this too much? What would be ideal? I just added my first fish(tiny clown) after a couple months with just hermit crabs, and...

I bought one the other day from the LFS because my Spotted Sailfin sure isn't going to fit my 29 forever. Anyways, the little guy is only about 1" long at the moment. I noticed this morning that he doesn't really have a bushy nose like adults do in pictures I have seen. He does however have a...

Just noticed these in my Cherry Shrimp tank this morning. Are they eggs? I heard that often a shrimp will drop it's first set of eggs.

I was thinking about getting some for my 29. Does it work to just cut it even with the water level like grass? Or does this cause the tips to turn brown and look bad? I really like the looks of it at the LFS in a 75 Discus tank.

I can't seem to find the kelvin rating for these bulbs. I would probably eventually switch to all 6700, but this is the bulb that comes with the fixture. Are these any good for plant growth?

Just put it up on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/5-lbs-Cured-Fiji-Live-Rock-Perfect-for-nano-or-pico_W0QQitemZ7749514514QQcategoryZ3212QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

My 2.5 gallon reef will most likely be coming down. It's a fun little tank, but I don't really have the time or the money to grow the really nice coral I was planning. The new plan will include the following supplies which I already have: -AC20 filter set on lowest flow rate -50/50 Flourite...

Time to take care of business... Tank size/volume: 29 gallon standard Lighting/wpg: 97.5 watts of 10/6700 and 32.5 watts actinic in a Current USA PC fixture. I figure this to be high/very high light levels. Do you inject CO2? If so do you know the level? I used DIY for the first few months...

I know that I deserve a beating for this, but I have been using my test kit for several months now and today was the first time I tried running the reference test sample. It was supposed to show 1ppm, but came up ZERO. I shook the bottle, ran it several times over, and 0ppm was always the...

I'm talking about 10' of elevation... Does it create enough suction to pull water out of a tank in the basement and then up some stairs to the bathroom sink? Anyone have experience with this? I am guessing that it might take an extra minute to get started but once the water reaches the sink it...

I am asking this question for my brother whose tank I have not seen for a few months. He doesn't have a test kit, but his tank is a very simple low light 10 gallon with a Dwarf Gourami, Ghost Shrimp, Otocinclus, and a couple Apple Snails. Lately he has been describing this white "chalk-like"...

I just rented a 20lb tank today from the local hardware store, but it is about half the size of the 10lb tanks I see at my work. Does the size mean anything, or is it all about the psi capacity? I hope I didn't get screwed with a 5lb bottle when I paid for 20!
