It is a sad day for me. I had to take down my 125 gallon tank. I am moving and can not move the tank (and fish) in a timely manner. So I have elected to sell the fish and live rock (which are gone as of now). I do have a nice setup ready for someone in need. 125 gallon all glass aquarium ( 72L...

I have a fairly new Nano Cube for sale. I used it for about 2-3 weeks before I felt guilty and moved the horses to a new 26 Gallon Bowfront. This is the not the new Nano Cube. It comes with the matching black stand also. I paid $190.00 @ Aquatica in Tinley Park for it. I would like to get...

My feather duster popped his top off. It is just laying at the bottom of the tank. Looks like someone just plucked the top of a flower of the stem. Is this normal for these things to do this? Will it grow back? I have seen the worm in the tube, it still is coming out, just bald headed (like...

Well I finally got the bowfront setup enough to move the seahorses to their new home. Here are a couple of pictures. And of course, there is Jasmin watching my wife feed the seahorses.

Well after watching the 2 seahorses swim around in the new Nano tank I got to feeling guilty. 12 Gallons are just not enough. So today I went and bought them a 26 gallon bowfront. Got it set in place tonight, and will start with the water and stuff tommorrow. I am due for the weekly water change...

This afternoon my bubble tip anemone split. One remained where it originally was and the other moved into a crevice between two rocks, kinda out of sight. My question is this, Is there anything I need to do or should I just let them go and see what happens? It was looking wierd for the last few...

Saw this on E-bay and was wondering if anyone else has one and how are they? Seems like a good price. But that "you get what you pay for" thing is gnawing at me....LOL http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20684&item=4316282560&rd=1 Mike

I have uploaded an updated picture of my tank to my gallery. I think I am going to slow down a little bit, my wife is starting to get mad at me for spending money. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4612

My Yellow Tailed Damsel, named Radio, is going to a couple of spots in the tanks and making a heck of a sand storm. He is digging holes in the sand by moving his tail back and forth real fast and kicking up a ton of sand. Anyone know why?...it's driving me nuts. It makes my tank soooo cloudy you...

I also upgraded my MH to 250. I have (2) Hamilton 20K 175 watt MH Bulbs I also have (2) Advance F-can Ballasts #72c5581-np These ballasts are self contained and are good for (1) 175W MH M-57 bulb or (1) 150W M-107 bulb. These were only used for a little over a month. Shipping weight is...

Exactly one month ago today, I went to the LFS and was just looking around. They had just gotten a new shipment of fish the day before. I spotted this Coral Beauty that was just lazily swimming around in the tank. It was such a gorgeous (sp) fish I just stood there and watched for about 20...

Well I have tested the canister filter. Using a 5 gallon bucket. So far I am convinced that this will work very good. I am going to build the one for my tank this week and should have it in place by the week's end. I will be testing this one through-out the week so as to make sure there is no...

Well, I have removed 1/3 of my CC substrate, and have placed 100 pounds of Tropical sand in it's place. Does the tank get so cloudy that you can't see inside? I got my filters off and all the pumps so the water isn't moving around too much. Hopefully this will let the sand settle a bit. How long...

If anyone lives near an I-Max theater and they are showing this film, you MUST go see it. I saw it today at Navy Pier in Chicago. It was so awsome...in 3D, you can almost "feel" the fish swimming by. They spend alot of time in the movie at the coral reefs and it is just mind blowing. It's like...

I found a couple refractometers online. My question is this: Some say they are for "aquariums" and measure in PPT (parts per thousand) and also SG (specific gravity) I have also seen some that measure solution rages of 0-32% Is there a difference? Or should I purchase one that say for...

I asked this question on another thread last month and did not get any answers. I have some rock that I found. It is flagstone. I have pressure washed it and it is setting in the garage. I wanted to use it to build a base wall in my tank, but I am not sure if it is OK to use it or not. Can...

I have rescued my Horseshoe crab about 4 times from the clutches of this LTA......Once he actually was in the proccess of taking into his mouth. The last time I saw the crab was 2 days ago. I searched the substrate for him thinking he might just be buried, but I couldn't stir him up. He is gone...

Just added this ABB Temapture Contoller after testing for the last week to make sure it would function properly. Got it set for a 2 degree swing in tempature. It is setup to turn on an outlet that I have mounted in the bottom of the base cabinet that I now have the two 200 watt heaters plugged...

I had decided to use the 20K bulbs instead of the 14K, so I am going to sell the 14's... I have (2) two Hamilton 14,000 K metal halide bulbs for sale. They are brand new and never used. They are mogal base. 175 watt. Both for $75.00 (includes shipping in the US only) They sell for $79.95 each...

I got these worm-like creatures on a couple of my LR. They are almost as thin as a human hair. They reach out to other parts of the rock and in the case of these pictures to another rock. I tried my best to get some good pictures of them but, I am no photographer for sure. Seems the closer I...

I have a few questions I would like to know the answers to. Just for Info's sake: I have a 125 gallon with some fish, aneome, and live rock. I do weekly water changes of 25 gallons. I use a filter to deionize the water before mixing. I also use this filter when topping off, (which I don't do...

Below are some pics I took as I was building this cover for my 125 gallon tank. This will house my lights. (2) 175 watt MH and (4) 48" flourescents. This is a work in progress and I will update with pictures as I get further along.

I am in the process of aquiring a 30 gal tank from a friend. Can I, or should I, house all of the hardware (pumps, skimmer, and heaters) inside this tank? Is there a "How To" on this? I was planning on locating it under the big tank in the stand. Any help would be appreciate, Thanks Sparky

Ok people....what the heck is this stuff? It is milky in color and very very very delicate. It appears as if it is a spider web. Yesterday it was broken up (it was covering a hole in the rock), now today it is completely repaired and the hole is covered again. I saw it on the rock when I bought...
