I have had fish for a long time, freshwater to marine, and then back to freshwater. I do not have the time (or money) to have marine anymore, or really a tank with the heavy plants I used to have previously. I currently have a 29 gallon, tank with stand & canopy. I have lots of fake plants...

Any one ever watch the Mythbusters episode where they test the myth that goldfish only remember things for 3 seconds....... the myth is very wrong :-)

A ex co-worker of mine gave me some macro algae. I don't know what kind but it has leaves that look like a trumpet bell. It has really taken off and the nitrates in my tank are stable and never go above 10ppm. I also like the way it looks. Well I talked to him about 6 months later and he...

Yea, I don't know why I didn't think to try the other bulb.....I guess the bulb burned out because the other bulb works fine in that socket. Will my colt corals, green star and button polyps be ok until a new bulb arrives? That leaves 65 watts for a 29 gallon tank. It probably won't be here...

I guess what I'm asking is not when they need to be changed, but I want to make sure the orange glowing and noise is normal for a blown bulb. I will buy another bulb, but I'm more afraid the unit is defected and start a fire, just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this on a blown PC bulb.

I have another question on coraline algae. Why does it mostly cover my lace rocks, and not my tufa? The two different rocks are spread around and mixed up, but the coraline algae seems to grow really well on the Lace. I did buy some Live Rock to help seed the base rock.

I have had my corallife PC lights for 7-8 months (I guess) and I went to turn them on, and one just glowed orange/yellow at the end and made a buzzing noise. They are over the water, but Darin at Captive Reefs( where I bought them from) said that was ok, as many people do that. Is that what...

I thought I remember someone saying you can use quikcrete play sand, that it was safe but didn't buffer the PH. Is that ok play sand to use?

Ok I want to make my sand bed deeper, but I can't find aragonite play sand, but I already have about 35 lbs of aragonite sand from the fish store. I really don't want to buy more at 27 dollars a bag, can I add regular play sand since I already have aragonite. Will that mess up the PH or will...

Anyone ever had an an anemone get picked on? My bubble tip was doing really good (probably grew 30% in a month) and getting his color back. I have a 1 inch long maroon clown that adores him, then I added a 1.25 inch Singapore Angel (I do know now they get big, they told me 4 inches when I got...

I wonder if my landlord would mind....... :lol:

Ok, I just got home from work......so I posted my message before I looked at him and he doesn't have and spots. Last night he had 2 or 3 little white spots. Is it possible for fish to fight off ich? Or maybe I'm overly paranoid and didn't see spots. It could be the life cycle of the ich....

One of new fish has ich, I'm going to put him in quarantine and treat him. 1) Any advice on the best ich medicine? I have rid ich for my freshwater, but I havn't had any sick fish in probably a year or two so I don't know the best medicine that is out there anymore. I think I also have...

I need an over flow for a 29 gallon. If anyone wants to unload theirs I will be willing to purchase. I don't care if it is homemade or purchased, as long as it works and is in good shape. Thanks

I had a CBS and he quickly ate the peppermint shrimp I had, sometimes he would swipe at fish, but he was too small and too slow...the fish just ignored him. :)

Yea, my skimmer leaked and there was about 4 gallons of saltwater on the floor. At least it was on tile, and we are on a bottom floor. You think that model http://www.aquaplumbers.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4) would be ok for a 29 gallon, can there be too much...

I have some questions about my sump/ref thing i'm trying to build. 1) Can you syphon water directly out of the tank into the sump? If so I was thinking about using an old intake to a power filter, that way nothing could get sucked up through the tube. 2) I have a 15 tall tank that will...

Ok, I happen to have some aquarium silicone on hand. I will give that a try. Thanks

Well it has been a while since I have posted since my computer has been "sick", but I have a question. I have a sea clone (I know, they suck) It started leaking where the tube attaches to the main body of the skimmer, and I messed with it, gave up and I havn't had a skimmer on my tank for the...

"putting stock back in" is what I meant to say, it is going to be a long time before the bacteria has that much ammonia sorted out anyways.

I guess I have had my tank for a year and a half, and actually had pretty good luck. My fish were flourishing, corals reproducing (I just have mushrooms) and I had those little white worms covering the glass (those little white specks everywhere) water always tested right on, even the nitrates...

Lando, I have 2 sand sifting snails...will that deplete too? I don't have any starfish. My lights are on about 10-12 hrs, and I don't have a PO4 tast kit. I guess I will have to pick one up.

I have a sebae clown, 2 damsels, and a PJ Cardinal, 2 sand sifting snails, 5 margarita snails, CBS in a 29 gallon. My parameters are PH 8.1, ammonia 0, trite 0, and trate 0-5 (I don't know how I manage that) I have some single mushrooms scattered around, and a feather duster. I'm having a...

Try to not feel discouraged, It took about 5 months before my water parameters settled down, and then my evil ex-roomate did something to my tank for revenge because I was moving out. So I had to start over again......I was pretty discouraged, but my bf made me set it back up again, and I'm so...
