i was just stumbling around the internest when i came across a post on another forum a frequent. it seems this fellow no longer had the time to take care of his 25g fowlr and was looking to get rid of everything. the cost: $0. my excitement: priceless. 25 pounds of liverock, a maroon clown...

at two weeks now for the question: what sort of livestock should i put in there? i think some sort of shrimp would be nice, but what type wouldn't be cramped in there? as far as corals, i have 2x13 50/50's on there, so i don't think lighting is an issue, but i'd prefer corals that wouldn't...

picked up this piece of live rock for five bucks. came with a few hitchhiker shroomies that i'd like for you to id. there appear to be at least two different kinds, the smaller one towards the top right has some blues in it.

there are three of them on my largest rock. i don't have any kalk or anything. is there another method of getting rid of the ugly b*st*rds?

this might be more appropriate in the diy forums, but it's for my nano reef, so i'm posting here. my question is do i have to wire this in series or parallel or will either work? here is a diagram of how i currently have it wired, but this can easily be changed.

my latest pic

just getting her going, thought i'd snap some pics

it has begun. five gallon flat back hex.

is it necessary to use ro water in a saltwater setup? i don't really have the money for a unit and going to the grocery store to get water sounds like a too much work to me.

i think it's finally for real. i'm setting up a saltwater tank. received a 29 gallon all-glass from a couple of my friends for christmas. i was always talking about setting up a heavily planted tank, and i think they just wanted to make sure i got started. i had it all planned out, every...

anybody know of a screw in pc that has a color temp around 6500k that is sold for home use? i've heared of one that's around 19 watts, but i have no idea on the brand name. i'd like one of these over my five gallon. my ten watt pc just crapped out on me, and 2 wpg didn't seem to do the trick...

what kind of setup would i need for one, singular damsel?

well, the 29 is no longer available, but the same guy offered me a different tank for the same price (200) specs are as follows (first e-mail) Have a new<to me> 55g salt setup I'll sell with twin eclipse hoods on a twin iron stand also the LS/LR and stock could be sold with it. (second...

Saw this on The Krib...thought you folks may enjoy it. _______ How do I know if reef-keeping is for me? You know this hobby is for you if: * you're so broke you have to build your own tank. * you have never kept any type of aquarium before. * you flunked the only chemistry...

i'm thinking my power filter for my five gallon planted tank gives a bit too much current for the plants. a few days ago it went out for no apparent reason, and when it was off, the tank looked so tranquill that it made me want to consider other options. what type of filter would be suggested...

saw this on an aquariacentral's classifieds. it's only four hours away, and i bet the guy might even meet me half way or something, just wondering what people think. thanks. about 20 lbs LR 40# sand bed a eclipse #3 hood Extra instaled 13w compact flo 50/50 bulb. power head heater two kinds...

last sunday (10/20) my albino cories spawned laying a brood of about 75 eggs, i moved them into a foster tank for fear of them eating the young, so the eggs are alone(besides a couple pesky snails) in a five gallon planted tank. two days ago i was beginning to see hints of fuzz on the eggs and...

anybody ever succesfully kept one of these? i'm still in the process of locating one, but i think they're outstanding fish.

i bought my first plant today and i was wondering if i leave it in the little platic pot thing that it comes in, or do i take it out?

So, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a 29 reef to be. what all am i going to need? college budget guys...i can get the tank for 20 and i already have something to put it on, so i've got that much taken care of, but what else will i need? heater of course, but what wattage? powerheads, how...

i saw a longnose hawkfish at my lfs a few days ago and was quite taken by him. could anybody give me some more info on these little guys? tank size, etc?

well, i took the dive. my little five gallon is now sitting at an SG of 1.021. It's completely empty right now, but I'm thinking of getting the LR tomorrow, if I can find any at the LFS, that is. I was wondering (after it's good and cycled) if anybody could suggest an possible inhabitant or...

i was told this might be a saltwater goby, but i purchased it as a brackish goby. he seems to be doing well in my tank, but if he's saltwater, i'd rather find him a better home than my brackish tank. thanks.
