make sure you enough empty shells for the hermits and they should leave the snails alone if they enough to eat.

I bought an aquaclear 70, it's more than 2x the size of a maxijet 1200!!! I was going to use it in a 30 gallon upgrade i'm planning, but i'm not putting that monster in there.LOL. People won't even notice the fish the first thing they'll say is "whats that big black thing!"lol. Measure twice...

I'm surprised the LFS industry hasn't fixed this "Damsel" issue yet. There are only a few that are really colorful but you pay for that in wicked aggressiveness.

Part of it could be a light spectrum shift if you haven't changed bulbs. Don't worry and try different things like less feedings or checking source water params. changing water more often, cleanup crew ect.....hth :D I'm researching lighting and realized a higher spectrum helps inhibit growth of...

I will be starting an upgrade from my Eclipse system 12 gallon acrylic tank with cc substrate to a 30 gallon seaclear acrylic tank. I clean the tank weekly using a small piece of microfiber towel to scrub the inside walls. I clean all four walls because this an Eclipse system and the new tank...

I had a Lion Many years ago without knowing what goes with what. Well my Lion ended up trying to eat my Lemon Peel Angel fish while I happened to be in front of the tank. Pretty intersting, seeing a fish trying to swallow another thats too big. Your shrimp is toast. You need to feed it salt...

Well, almost 20 yrs. ago I had a 55 Gal. SW FO tank that I really enjoyed. Had it for about 6 yrs. Then, just recently, I wanted a nano tank to fit between 2 chairs in my living room. Bought an Eclipse System 12 Bowfront that I really like. The reason I bought it???? When those Damn GEICO and...

I put the wheel back in. I guess I'll try 3 gallon weekly pwc first.

The new drs. f/s catolog has a power filter they made that siphons water from lower, middle of tank but also has a built in floating surface skimmer!!!! Sweet. I'm definitly buying one of those.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check the params each day to make sure i don't crash the tank. I guess thats why i bought the test kit, I'll might as well use it!!!

well, i went and done it. replaced the wheel with some lr rubble. not alot though, as i want it all under water. i'll keep the wheel in a bucket of old sw for the time being. i'll give it a couple of weeks and recheck the nitrates and if i still have the same readings i'll do 3 gallon pcw every...

no i don't have any sponges other that the natural ones that are growing. I just had 2 white sponges about the size of a dime appear out of nowhere. how cool is that! i also have a small grey one thats been around for awhile. I have aquestion about aerobic vs. anerobic. if i don't have these...

I thought about some rubble but there wouldn't be much if any light there. would the rubble accept that?

I have an Eclipse system 12 that i really like. It's been running for about 7 months and all the water params are fine except the nitrate stays between 15 and 20 ppm using API test kit. I have about 10+ pounds of live rock, 3 small fish, (yeah I know, don't worry, i have a 30 gallon waiting in...

a great combo would be a false or true percula clown, sixline wrasse, and an orange firefish. thats what i have and couldn't be happier. they get along great, are some of the best looking fish, and are the least expensive. btw i would stay away from the clown gobies, all they do is hide.
