We found a rubber backed carpeted runner that helps save the carpet from disasters. It seems to work out quite well.

I have one ocellaris(tank raised) clownfish in my tank at the moment. I would like to add a few more. Must they be added in pairs and is it safer to keep an even amount of them , I was think of adding 3 more so I would have four in the tank. Is this a good idea? Can more than two be kept in a tank?

In the daylight you might not see the lunar lites. They are dim but in darkness they are quite nice. I keep the lunar lites plugged in and on all the time. I found more information on their website. But they are fantactic lights.

I don't want to jump the temp up to fast. I'm going about 1/2 to 3/4 degrees a nite. I am changing about 15 -20 % every 2 days.

I slowly raised the temp to 82.9 over the weekend and tried bloodworms. At first they ignored them. But last night they each sucked up a few.. not many but it's a start. They both still look good, not stressed or anything and swimming all around the tank. It might just take a little longer than...

I received a pair of red turquois discus from liveaquaria.com on Thursday. They were put in the tank that afternoon and look and act healthy. My only concern is that they will not eat. I have almost everything. They don't look at flake. slow sinking pellets do not get their interest. Brine...

What does everyone do when they go on vacation? How do the fish get feed? I would not trust anyone to feed them. I looked at various automatic feeders and wondered, do they work well? Does anyone have any recommendations for feeders? We are away most weekends in the summer so I need something...

I have that fixture in a 36" and I like it. It sits about the tank 4 or 5 " and it doesn't have a heat build-up although the cooling fan is a little noisy. I have a lot of evaporation in my tank. About a gallon every 3 or 4 days.

I never got a chance to add the fan. I opened windows in the room to cool the room a little. and added another PH. The temp dropped below 80 and is holding between 79 in the morning to a high of 81.5 at lights out. At least it's a little better.

I am setting up a fan tonight. I have 36" Orbit 2 x 96 Dual daylite and dual actinic. It's is on a stand five or six inches above the top. I the daylite on 10 hours a day and the Actinic aout 8 hrs.

You might have a good point there. I have a Berlin Hang on skimmer with a large pump(i can't remember the model). That could be the culprit.

The heater hasn't turn on since it was put in the tank. The powerheads do not feel warm at all.

For the last two weeks or so I have been battling higher temp in my 65 gal saltwater tank. The temp has slowly risen to 82.5 and fluctuates up a degree or so during the day. At first I though it was a defective heater so I changed that and the temp is still up. I just changed the glass top to...

I always thought freshwater was the best hobby in the world. Then I started a saltwater tank. Now aquarium fish SW and FW is the best hobby(obsession) in the world. :D

I have seen a lot of comments about liveaquaria.com but I have not seen any on marinedepotlive.com. Has anyone used them and if so was it a good experience or bad. Are there any on-line retailers for livestock that any one thinks is absolutely fantastic.
