So I've had a marine tank setup for about 4 years or so but grad school is making it mighty difficult to deal with. I'm unfortunately taking it down, possibly selling it, but I want to put up a nice little Beta setup in it's stead. (What can I say? I'm still hooked.) Anyway, what I'd really...

Well, I got a whole bunch of live rock for my new 26gallon aquarium from an established tank that was being taken down. Unfortunately I have discovered Aiptasia! ARGH! My tank is obviously too small to house a copperband or a raccoon, and I think I can get the bigger ones with kalkwasser...

Alright, I've got a 26g bow FOWLR, I've just set it up, but the LR and LS came from an establised aquarium of 8 years. It's running an aquaclear 70, excal skimmer powerheads etc. So, This is what I was originally thinking: 1 Catalina Goby 1 Firefish Goby 1 Lemonpeel Angel and perhaps a...

Oh yeah, The clown will be fine. I've always had one with my puffers.

If you want to keep the damsels you could put a small puffer in there, but as was said before, they will most likely munch on your crabs and snails. As for more fish... that puffer will put a larger load on your tank, and the damsels will stay fiesty... so I wouldn't add more unless you nix the...

So I've had a saltwater tank in the past, but I've recently moved and now I'm starting up again. I've just purchased a 26g bow, have an Aquaclear 70, an excal skimmer, heater, powerhead etc. I'm going to get about 25-30 pounds of live rock and at least 20 pounds of live sand froma tank that...

If there is anyone who wants the live stuff, I will give it to them for free. I'm looking at selling the whole thing for about $500... though price is negotiable. Thanks. -Kristin

Hello all, I came to Pittsburgh with my tank to go to grad school, but unfortunately the program was'nt working out so I'm moving to San Diego to go somewhere else. I had planned to take my live rock with me (as well as my setup) but my travel plans have just changed drastically and (in...

I had a small porc puffer (about 3-4") and I know he ate some of my snails and crabs, but I had a bunch that were a little big for him, I think. I also had a sand sifting star that lasted about three weeks, I saw him on the glass, the next morning I saw he was sans three legs, and I've not seen...

but won't just popping in newer lights just aggravate the algae problem?

Wow, I didn't know I had to replace the bulbs so soon. As to why the puffer is in there: he was a gift, and he is only about 3" long. When I move I am giving him to somebody else (hopefully) of giving him back to the store. Originally I wasn't going to move so far away, but now I don't think...

I am having algae issues in my 46g bow tank. I've got mostly red and a little brown algae that formas all over the sand. Tank has been running since las october, fish went in in late Jan. Right now I have a lawnmower blenny, a scooter blenny, a tomato clown and a small porcupine puffer. I've...

Ok, so I got my first two fish on Sat. A tomato clown about 1 1/2 inches and a scooter blenny about 2 1/2 inches long. I've had the 46g tank running with Live rock and live sand since the end of november. First week of january I put more (fully cured live rock in, and about a week later I put...

I'm interested in getting a fu manchu lionfish in awhile and I have seen some vibrantly colored ones and then some that weren't so much. I know it depends on how healthy the fish is, but does the area where it came from also factor in? If so, where do the most colorful come from?

Hi, all, this is my first time posting on this site. I've had a cichlid tank for some time now and have had great success with it. I've been doing research for the last few months on marine aquariums and I plan to set one up at the end of august when I move into my new apt. I have a couple of...
