    Fish out cycling 10 gal tank, have questions. :)

    Hello! My daughter is in the process of setting up a 10 gallon tank (with a fluval 5-20gal HOB filter) for her betta who currently lives in a 1 or 2 gallon tank. We just got an LED plant light for it today. The cycle is going good I think- we started it at the end of January. We used a...

    Ideas to make my tank better?

    I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest how I can make my tank better. It's a 35 or 40 gal hexagon tank with one plant (anubias) some large rocks, pool filter sand substrate and an orange cichlid. There is also a mystery snail and some Malaysian trumpet snails. I have a fluval HOB filter...

    Did I commit the cardinal sin?

    I had native species fish in my tank, did a 60% wc and the fish died because the water was too warm (cold water species we had for 2 years). I got a python for Christmas and messed up the water temp. I normally use the hose but its 18 degrees outside, and dang! A new Python! Anyway, went out...

    Help my pagoda cup!

    Hey everyone. I've had this pagoda since before Christmas. Its been doing great. Starting about 2-3 weeks ago I noticed some little holes on the flesh. I thought maybe it was getting too much flow so I moved it. It's in a spot with light-moderate flow. It was in a spot with moderate flow...

    Swtiching tanks

    Hey guys. I have a 55 gallon tank. It's a planted community tank and it's been running for a year (wow! A year already!) I recently acquired a fully equipped 35 gallon hex tank off Craigslist- it's fully set up and cycled. I want to have some larger fish. Cichlids maybe. So I need to move...

    Seattle LFS

    Hey, is there a nice saltwater fish store in Seattle? Somewhere that isn't in a shady looking neighborhood, and a place that isn't scary looking on the inside? I was reading some reviews online and alot were saying "shady neighborhood, dirty and scary looking inside"... Etc.

    Vegetable garden

    Does anyone know of a vegetable garden forum? I'm planning on starting a garden this spring and have so many questions. Or, if you are a gardener, we can have conversations over PM's. seeing as how this is a fish forum I don't want to invade it with gardening.

    Is this part of the frogspawn or something else?

    Hey guys. I got a frogspawn just over a week ago. Ever since then I've been wondering what this is and if it is actually a part of the coral itself or something else. In the second picture I hope you can see the creature thing that is popping out. It comes out and goes back in. If you get too...

    Really need help. My trumpet is in bad shape.

    Hey guys. I really need some help with this guy. He was fine up until about 3 days ago when he wouldn't inflate. Now he just looks terrible. My water levels all test fine (nitrate,trite, ammo). My salinity is 1.025. Temp is 78. I've had him since around September, and I feed him mysis...

    Craiglist question. I need some advice.

    So, I'm trying to sell a scuba diving BCD on Craigslist. I get emailed today and we go back an forth about the item. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then the guy says he will buy it and I can ship it to him. Red flag. I said I won't ship it. He then asks why? He'd have to drive up here to...

    Pagoda cup coral question.

    So, I got a pagoda cup right before thanksgiving. It looks like all the polyps are open. My question- when I got it and it opened, it really had the polyps extended upwards. Now they are open but not extended up. Was it reaching for the light at first but now doesn't need to? Tank stuff...

    DIY 90gal stand w/ 55gal sump

    Hey all. I'm about to pick up a 90 gal tank tomorrow. It's $20... How can I pass that up? So I'm wondering... Can I build a stand that I would be able to use my 55 gal tank under as a sump for a saltwater system? I have no idea where to start.

    10g stock ideas?

    Hey all. I have a 10 gallon nano. What are some of your ideas for stocking? I know I'm really limited. I would like an active and colorful fish that is going to swim all around. I am ok with having only one fish.

    Change thread title?

    Hey guys. I have a thread called "5 gallon Fluval chi nano?" And I was wondering- is it possible to change the ne of the thread? I just got a 10gal tank and will be upgrading my fluval to the 10. I know I could start a new thread but I'd rather keep the one I have since it's pretty the...

    Dwarf lionfish and?

    Just curious if I could put any other fish with a dwarf lionfish in a 55 gal. Bare bottom with liverock. I don't own the tank, but I'm trying to make my case for getting another tank. :) Thanks for the help! I'd do a dsb if an engineer goby can live with the lionfish.

    I love zoas. They are so neat and so colorful. I will one day have some blue hornet and maybe even some red hornet zoas. Lets see all your zoa shots. And add their names if you know them! They have such funny names sometimes. I will try and post a pic of my tiny colony after the light...

    Clown goby bumps!?

    I just bought a naked green clown goby yesterday. He is developing bumps on his side. I've read it could be from malnutrition. I tried to feed mysis night and again today. He was uninterested. I even got a piece directly in front of him. What can I do to get him to eat?? Please help...

    Is this a bristle worm?

    found a white wormy thing in my tank on my live rock. I cant get a decent pic but found this online and it looks very similar. Could be the same thing. Is it reef safe?? http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=white+bristle+worm&view=detail&id=1D2D13A862B39C20CA09F36136A082358E29FCE1
