I have heard that Yellow Watchman's and similar gobies in size will sift and stir up the sand but not to a degree like their bigger cousins. I was told they can and may do it but don't rely on it but I was still skeptical. So is this true? I have snails doing that for me now but they don't...

The more & more I stare at my tank looking at the crab who rarely ventures from his hide hole in the rock he really resembles this one: So not an Emerald Crab at all, I will try again to get a picture of him but it is very hard. He hides almost immediatley when approaching the tank. The...

This guy will get to big for my nano so I need something that won't or anything else that will work good in a nano be it coral or fish. Plus he will do better in a group. He currently is active and heathly as far as I can tell.

The LFS said this guy would be good in my 12g aquapod yet Live Aquaria, Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Zebra Barred Dartfish says otherwise. Should I exchange him for something more sutied to a nano like a Goby or smaller Firefish? I am just worried he might outgrow the...

Well the reason I ask is he has buried himself inside the lr somewhere where my fingers can't reach. I have been aquascaping a bit and I don't want to kill him by covering up his escape hole but my efforts to get hit out have been fruitless. I have heard about a fw dip but that just seems a...

UPDATE: Decieded it was in my best interest to make my own water from now on since the store's salinity was a bit off. 1.0018 says the hydrometer. Using Seachem's reef salt as it came highly recommended so this bag should last me a long time if only changing 2-3 gallons at a time. Got some...

So I was told you are supposed to use a turkey baster to "blow off" the die off on LR after it is in the tank. Also when I setup the tank the water was cold(long drive from the LFS) and it seems I haven't killed off everything by using cold water because I had a couple of hitchhickers as well...

I am thinking of picking up a 12g for $129.95...smoking deal I think. I would almost be willing to pick more for others if people really wanted, that is a whole 'nother thread though. So stocking ideas and being my first venture in SW territory I don't want to make a potential costly...

Now, lately the goldfish have been really liking the salad sort of speak. Who knew Hornwort was so tasty? I am getting a new 90 gal. for them, they are not exceptional fish but deserve a bigger home plus I can always use it for something else. Hopefully when I get a house they will make a...

Try to keep it local if possible...would really like a Hillstream or Butterfly Loach. Show me what you got, also would need to survive with some Goldfish :lol: . Thanks

It started to like a goldfish diet...so I had to seperate him. Welcome to have him for free. Fat and about 3-4 inches long I think.

Yes this is a Odysessa(sp) fixture you may see on E-bay. 130 watts total output or 110 watts depending on the bulbs. It came with 2 65 watt 50/50 bulbs, 6700k daylight & actinic blue I believe. 48" long so perfect for a 40/55/or even 75 gallon tank. Be weary of being used for FW use...

Well, didn't want to pay for Eco Complete so I got 50 pounds of playsand. Transfered my other tank with seeded filter and just got another. So we have 5 Danios(2 Zebra, 3 Long Fin Blue) 2 Clown Loaches 3 Cory Cats 3 Baby Guppys(Parents died a bit back) Cherry Shrimp All in a 29 gal. Have...

Well the Black Telescope(really orange & white now) hurts on of his eyes a while back. Recovered fine, the eye is no longer there just healed over. Now his other eye is getting huge. It's not infected, it's not popeye since the other fish would also show symptoms. He's happy(from what I can...

I have a Odessa 4 ft. 130 watt or 120 watt depending on what bulbs you want. No fans but I have the legs to mount it on a newer trim 40/55/75 gallon tank. I suggest an open top as it gets quite warm and keeps my goldfish around 78-80 in a enclosed hood. It came with 2 65 watt 50/50 bulbs but I...

Making a DIY Hood and want to know what the best way would be to fire 2 65 watt bulbs and one 55 watt. They are straight pin. I looked at Ahsupply but wanted other options.

Well browsing through Lowes to see what lighting was available, I wandered into the landscaping section. Saw the 50lb bags of play sand but then noticed 2 other things. There was Base & Leveling sand. The Leveling sand looked about as fine as play sand but the base stuff looked more bigger in...

Well I'll start, just this last night I bought 2 female guppys to replace the one that died within days from the petstore. I could not return her because my snails took about half the evidence away. 8O So I have the bag they came in open, propped up in a container and was adding a little tank...

Barely used, maybe 1 week tops since bought back in Jan. I have decieded to go canister to enhance my view of the tank. Will include the 2 cartridges it came with, although I wouldn't expect the carbon to do any good. Also it will be shipped in it's orginal box. I would just use them for...

When you cram 5 goldfish including BIG MOMMA(think 3-4 inches of Ryukin female boss), 3 cory cats, 2 clown loaches, & one rubberlip pleco in 29 gal. tank with 680 gph of effective filtration. http://www.godosoot.com/pics/index.php?cat=10001 A PARTY!, well I slightly crowded one I think...

I want to start low at 5 to 10 max, see how many I can get from breeding and if it's too much give some back to you guys. I unfortunatley haven't found any in the stores around here. So instead of buying a large batch of 30 I just want a few. Name your price.

I currently have 2 50/50's that have only been running 2 weeks but now realize full 6500k or 10000k would be the better bulb to have. So thats what I need. Straight pin and shipping will be as cheap as possible. I will rap them securly to make sure that they don't break.

Ok so I want to go into SW hobby. I was going to start out with my 29 gal. but this seems a like smaller better start to the hobby. If I can't keep any fish at first thats fine but at least inverts will give me an a idea of the whole deal. Here is what I thought about purchasing...

Well decieded to take the plunge after my current 29g FW had a lighting accident. Cat knocked the whole assembly into the water(wasn't wide enough for the tank, jury rigged it) shorted out the exspensive compact bulbs and when I removed it all the metallic corrosion came out from them...
