I'm heading to Chicago (along the turnpike) and was looking at stopping by a few stores while I'm there. Does anyone have a list of freshwater or marine stores in the area and along my way? Any store will do, whether it's a favorite or just one you stopped by once. I prefer marine but hey, I...

Recently I received some corals in the mail and the only damaged one was this Acan Echinata piece. The box had been dropped and I fear this Acan took the brunt of the force. What can I do to keep this coral from loosing all tissue and dying completely? Any tips? Thank you.

Looking to purchase a 70w MH hang on back light. JBJ or Coralife will do. Prefer used as I'm on a budget . Bulb doesn't matter as I will replace it anyways. Please PM me if you have one to sell. Would possibly entertain a 150w if the price is really, really right.

Figured I'd post my first reef tank here. Done a lot of reading on this site but I've mainly only posted in the FW section. Few here and there in the SW. Tank Specs: 3g glass tank 9w 50/50 PC 40 GPH filter ~5lbs of live rock ~3lbs of live sand Started - April 10th, 2007 On to the pictures! May...

I'm curious to see what everyone's favorite live food? This can be for both fish and corals. Looking to expand my knowledge and see what people really do like to use, rather than what magazine articles say.

I'm curious to see what everyone's (or your fish's) favorite live food is? Microworms? Grindals? Blackworms? Daphnia?

Any ideas what is going on with this fish? Sick? Also, is it a male or female? I'm posting this for a friend btw.

Does anyone have any experience planning a fish/plant/frag auction? I've never helped plan one let alone actually attend one. Can someone post their experiences, either attending or planning, to help me out a bit? Any little bit helps. Thank you!

After nearly 6 months of planning I finally purchased a set of GBR's about a month ago. Sadly the female died within 24 hours and was returned to the store for credit. Two weeks later I picked up another females. Less than two weeks after that I come back from my parents (only gone roughly 24...

Really don't care what brand they are. Just need one or more really cheap daylight 96w PC bulbs. 6500k, 8800k, 10000k, whatever. Heck, would even consider a 50/50 bulb! New or *slightly* used. Thank you.

I have for trade a 36" 96w JBJ Actinic (7100k) PC bulb. This was lit only ONE time just to check the ballast and bulb out. Just received this with my JBJ kit. The bulb is a linear (....) design. I'm looking for a 36" 96w 6700k or 8800k bulb in trade. Brand really isn't an issue but would prefer...

Recently purchased this Clown Pleco from a great dealer. Didn't notice it until I got home but there was a red "spot" on the side of its head. Today it seem to be slightly larger. Any idea what it is? This is the best two shots I could come up with...

Does anyone have a new or used 36" CF fixture w/bulbs? Just looking to expand my choices for light my tank.

I doubt many know of this club. http://www.traccentral.org/DNN/ If anyone is in the Toledo area you should really join this forum at least. Some really friendly people there. In case you are wondering, YES they do support freshwater fans as well! I've yet to "officially" join the club but...

I really need to thin my amount of Java Moss so I'll be selling a bit. There is the possibility that the moss does have hair algae. I do have Ramshorn and Pond Snails. Will do my best to pick them all out if requested. Price: A little more than a golfball size: $1.50 each or 4 for $5 (have...

Still looking at various options to light my tank (as to which I'm getting zero help). Has anyone put together their own T-5 setup piece by piece? Those retrofit kits are pretty darn expensive and it looks like it could be put together for much less.

I have for sale one package of Riccia for sale. It does have some kind of moss in it, only a few little pieces. Very easy to pick out but I left it in there. Can also include a starter portion of Java Moss. This is a great plant for beginners as it is very easy to grow. I just have way too much...

After cleaning out my 1g snail breeding tank (got tired of them), I'm once again left with an empty tank. I've done the Ghost Shrimp thing, never worked out well. I have RCS but they are in my 10g and I'm STILL trying to get those to breed. Now I'm looking for something I can place into a 1g...

Are there any active Pleco breeders in Ohio? I'm mainly looking for a source of the dwarf plecos for a tank I'm planning to set up later this year. Species like BN, Clown, etc.

Hi there. I'm looking for the wild, US native form of Cardinal Plants. I know they grow around lakes/ponds in Georgia, not sure about other places. It does grow slightly large but that's fine by me. Only looking to pay shipping and maybe a tad more. Thank you.

My girlfriend and I went to the Super Wal-Mart today and as we were going home (a different way than before), I noticed a fish store. The name was Tropical Reef. They do have some freshwater fish, the door said so, but I didn't have time to stop in. Just curious if anyone has visited this store...

This stuff just popped up in my tank over the past few weeks. Figured my shrimp and Oto would take care of it. I figured wrong! Sorry for the poor photo. I'm used to photographing coins and not aquariums. Would Amanos take care of this? A shop near me carries them every so often (or so I've...

Many of you know I've been trying to breed Cherry Barbs for quite some time. I had basically given up on them after about 4 months of trying. Today I was closely examining my tank and behold! Two Cherry Barb fry! No idea how old they are but they are most definitely Cherry Barbs. No visible...

Hi there. I'm a rather experienced planted freshwater tank keep and have recently become interesting in saltwater shrimp. These are not the Candy Cane Shrimp you can find in stores either. Hawaiian Red Shrim I'd like to keep these shrimp in a SG of 1.0145-1.0168 tank that is about 2g, give or...

I'm sort of planning my fish selection for my 40g breeder. I want "different" fish that are not available in a majority of stores. Places like: Frank's Aquarium are what I'm looking for. Basically online fish breeders who will ship. Frank has a lot of cool fish but I'm looking to expand my...
