If I had not just set this tank up a few months ago I would probably just sell my stuff off and have fun restocking. BUT I did just set the tank up so, I am just going to do it. If I didn't have two cats and another tank to move as well I wouldn't be dreading the move so much. It will be...

Haha! Well the drive from Reno to Las vegas is only 7-9 hours, so hopefully I won't have to do a water change till I get there. I already have plenty of zip ties. All I need is some egg crate :)

Thats great alternative! I am hoping to avoid removing my coral from the live rock since some of it has attached itself, but what you described is a distinct possibility. :thanks:

I am glad you were able to catch it! Mine had been setup in the same spot for almost a year with no issues. My plants and the Malaysian trumpet snails made it through just fine, but the fish couldn't take the heat :( The only way to know if you killed the BB is to monitor for a ammonia spike...

I will be using one of those temperature controls in any case. I would rather be safe than sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I am not sure. I really enjoyed the cryptoheros nanoluteus and blue star endlers together. I would love to do that again but the blue star endlers were hard to come by, so I am not sure if I will find then again. I do like the contrast of blue and yellow though :) I don't think I will...

It's is a rainbow stlyo. Good eye. The sunny D's have opened up and even grew a new polyp! They are not looking their best yet, but they are open :) In other news I have not had time to play with my camera since I have found out I will be moving to Vegas :) life has been hectic trying to...

Yep. I found that out the hard way. Though I have caught issues with my tanks much faster just by looking at them myself. I wish the heater had started to glitch in the afternoon because I would have noticed the odd behavior in my fishes. The redundancy is really for when I am not able to look...

Thanks. I will check that one out. I would rather be safe than sorry again. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So, what do you all think of temperature controls that automatically shut off or turn on a heater? Anyone used them? Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I will do that. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That is exactly what I was doing. Both heaters appear fine so I am unsure which went haywire :/ Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I woke up this morning to my 55 gallon tank radiating heat :( My two Cryptoheros Nanoluteus pairs, my breeding group of blue star endlers, my group of Pygmy corys, my big bronze corys....All gone :( I was devastated as I cleaned out the tank this morning. The only good thing is the plants...

The sunny D's I got about a week ago have not opened up yet. They have shed a layer of skin once already. Today I saw a bit of the Orange and the skirt peeping out. It looks as thought they will shed again. I am trying so hard to be patient and it is very tough :( In other news I will be...

Alright, he is looking settled in his new home! He is pretty awesome! The shrimp were scared at first, but now they have come back out. You can really see his malformed stomach area in this photo. I am unsure if this means he has issues on the inside, but for now he seems fine :) His "good"...

well all my intentions went out the window the second I saw very sad looking T. Lalius at my LFS. He appears to be malformed on its lower fin/body (looks too symmetrical to be an injury) and is missing an eye. Despite this he has a very fiery attitude and I just had to adopt him when I was told...

The fire and ice zoas to the right grew a new polyp while I was gone. I also picked up my first fuzzy stick just before I left. Luckily it is looking fine. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have been away for a few days and left my tank under my parents care while I was gone. Good news is they did come by at least twice, but forgot the other times :( Overall the tank looks alright. Though I am missing the larger purple blue spotted mushroom :( it obviously detached, but it is no...

They are just so peaceful and their rust color is nice too. The more the debate it in my mind I think T.chuna is winning. If my lfs has babies in stock I won't be able to stop myself. Baby t. Chuna are just sooooo cute! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I am thinking a single T. Chuna would be easier to find and less cost prohibitive. Plus I have kept these guys repeatedly in the past and have always loved them. Still need to ask my lfs if they can get sparkling gouramis in for a decent price. Not losing hope for sparkling gouramis, just...

Unless you have a pair. BUT a pair is often hard to find as not many places only sell male gouramis or they sell young gouramis and you cannot tell the sexes apart. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Nice! I have read sparkling gouramis are closely related to croaking gouramis. But all gouramis I have had make the clicking noise too. It might be accidental as they 'breath' near the surface :) always funny to see the furry pets hear it first Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I checked and apparently they only have 2 in stock. I don't really want to pay 15$ in shipping for 5$ of fish :( I will contact them to see about more though. Their shipping is the best price I have seen so far and I have bought shrimp from them before. Thanks for the tip! Sent from my iPhone...

Love those colors! Well I went ahead and added the plastic tubes. You can hardly see them which is what u was aiming for. I am going to be keeping an eye out for hopefully local fish store to carry sparkling gouramis. I will also be keeping an eye out on aquabid too. In the mean time my...
