This is essentially what I was looking for, but what concerns me is the sizes. I suspect 36", 48" and 72" are all going to be far too big for a 24 gallon tank.

First of all I would like to apologize if the question I am asking is posted in some obvious place I wasn't able to find. Unfortunately my LFS has left me in a bit of a bind and I haven't been able to find much help by searching. The short version is, I finally lost the battle with my aquapod...

I hadn't actually planned on adding any more rock. I currently have ~34lbs in a 24gal tank. The only reason I added this piece was to allow the polyps to spread off onto another rock without peeling it completely off. 1 of the two I did remove and migrate, but the other I left on the original...

I just added my major addition to my sw tank a few weeks ago. I purchased 2 (thought it was 1) star polyp on a piece of branching tonga rock. They seem to have taken hold in their new locations finally and are looking pretty good (check my gallery for a photo). What I didn't expect was the...

Thanks for all the tips! Reading through the other post actually gave me an idea to get around the issue. The lfs doesn't really give you enough water to work with in the bag, but I didn't think about asking for a separate bag of water. This would give me enough to just use my small QT tank for...

Well, my salt water tank is underway. Thanks for the advice from everyone so far, most recently with my goby. I actually coaxed him out into plain view for about 30 seconds today so hopefully with another week of routine and clever feeding he should feel more comfortable in the tank. Anyway...

For what its worth, I would love a pic : ) I have been trying to feed at the same time every day but feedings are very difficult based on the location he picked. As of right now I haven't seen him in 2 days. I am watching the chemical levels very closely and haven't noticed any changes but i...

I only have a snail crew right now. I have been watching the chemicals very closely since there is a new addition to the tank. I only fed the one time and it was an extremely small amount of shrimp. I haven't seen any changes since then and I won't be feeding again until the Goby comes out...

I recently added my first fish to the reef tank. I found that the fish I chose has more names than I can keep track of. I added a Stonogobiops nematodes or Black-ray Goby. In the lfs the fish spent most of its time near the front of the tank almost hovering midway up the side with a group of...

You might try running the numbers through here: http://www.apcc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SU3000NET&tab=compare&list=SU3000NET; 75watts has a life time of 6 hours and 53 minutes. You might try getting a cheap meter and see what your tank averages with circulation and...

In my experience, a generator is going to get you much much further than a battery backup. Computers have fairly low draw. Electric motors and heating elements are basically the 2 most consuming items you can hookup to a battery backup and these are essentially what a sw tank needs. You won't...

Mine has accumulated some algae. I do my best to remove this from time to time but the magic of the Velcro like surface makes it amazingly hard to clean anything out of it. It hasn't ever had enough on it to be a problem. The best way I found to clean mine is to scrub it on a towel or something...

We added a second batch of ghost shrimp to our tank about 2 weeks ago. Of the group, all look about the same with the exception of 1. He stands out from the others in that his internals are a stark opaque white. At times all you can see are his guts floating around in the tank since the rest of...

My pleco does much the same. He will actually chase other fish around and dive bomb off the glass at our cats when they encroach on his territory. It was especially bad when I still had to supplement the tank with algae pellets. The cats would immediately go for it and our pleco would kind of...

We had a bit of a pandemic with these little guys. 2 rode in on the back of some giant hairgrass we got from the lfs. We thought they were cute initially, even named them. Not a week later we discovered the gel egg sacs all over our tank. Probably 10 or 15 egg sacs in all. 2 months later we had...

Is there a good way to tell if it is an albino chocolate vs albino? I don't think it has to do anything with feeding him since he changed within a few hours of the entire introduction process. I had just done a water chnage 3 days earlier so I wouldn't think much food had built up on the...

I recently introduced this little guy to my 30gal along with 3 Corydoras trilineatus. I didn't expect the corys to be so lively but boy are they playful! The pleco is easily frightened and fairly reclusive (as I expected) although I had been told that the albino variety tended to be more bold...
