The title says it all...There are minimal decorations because Morpheus and Trinity like to redecorate when I'm not looking!

I can't believe it's been over 6 years since I've been on this forum! After many years of traveling around the world thanks to the U.S. Marine Corps, I have firmly planted my roots (for now) in Philly and am ready to feed my aquarium addition again. I have already setup a 75 gallon bow front...

Has anyone ever ordered an Algea Cleaner Pack (Crabs, Snails, etc) from any of the online vendors? If so, who through and did you like it? When they arrive, what special considerations are there before placing them in your tank?

Lando, I read in one of the other threads that you recommend taking out the Biowheels on an HOB filter. I have the exact same filter that you linked too but I still have the biowheels in it. Is it common practice to remove them? Could you expand a little bit on why you recommend removing them?

I've searched through the forum and read many posts about what type of light to use, bulbs, etc...but I have yet to find one on timing of the lights. I have a Coralife setup with 2 daytime lights, 2 actinic lights and 4 lunar lights. What would be a good time cycle to put them on? I have a...

I have a question about the relationship between the clowns and their host anemone's. I bought a clown fish and the anemone the other day and while they where in the lfs the clown pretty much stayed in the anemone. Now that I have them home in my tank the clown doesnt seem to want to have...

Just found a couple of these today. Are they bristleworms? They have pink heads and tails with black/dark grey in the middle.

I purchased a used tank from a friend of mine. He had the water drained out for a couple days before I picked it up. I decided when I got home to try to save the live sand and rock by mixing up some water and getting everything running. When I woke up in the morning the green coraline algae was...

I need an APB put out on my new Tiger Barb, he's a menace! I have a 30gal tank that was home to 4 Tiger Barb's, about 1" to 1 1/2" in length. They've been around awhile. So I decide to go get a couple more Tiger Barbs because I really like them. I got 4 new little babies, about 1/2" in length...

I am in the intitial planning stages of my saltwater setup but I want to plan now for the fish that I intend to keep. I am looking at a 90g with LR. Would these fish be ok together for the tank size and personalities? According to The New Marine Aquarium book they would, but I wanted to hear...

I have a Bio-wheel HOB on my 30g right now and want to replace it with a canister type. Should I start up the canister and let it run in conjunction with the HOB for awhile or just yank the HOB and start up the canister?

So I have my 10g in the bedroom now cycling away. My friend calls up the other day and asks if I want his 30g long as his girlfriend doesnt like the noise?? Whatever....So I moved it in yesterday and everything is going fine, but I fear I may have a disease called.....tank addiction.....I can't...

A moment of silence for all the hockey fans out there like me.... :cry:

How do you pronounce Gourami?

Will the PH fluctuate during fishless cycling? I am on day 2 of the cycle and my PH is 8.4. Im worried this is too high. Should I do anything about it now or just let it ride? What really cooks my noodle is that my tap (well) water registers 6.6.

I've been doing my research and have learned about cycling, care and maintanence for my aquarium and fish. I am now in the process of putting together a shopping list and need some help. I have a 20g that I am going to use and it has the hood and lighting but that is all. Here is what I have so...

I can't remember who it was that recommended Amazon for aquarium books, but thanks! I just picked up 3 of them for less than $30 including The New Marine Aquarium and Saltwater for Dummies. Soon I will be armed with knowledge!!! :D

I'm going looking for a good starter book. I'm still researching and learn better by reading. Any suggestions?

First Question in a string of many.... I hope to make my tank purchase next weekend. I have been looking at the tanks at PetsMart, more specifically the SeaClear 36G. Are these tanks any good? What are my other options for purchasing a tank? I can't seem to find a LFS. I want a decent sized...

Hello all, My name is David and I just wanted to say how lucky I feel at having found this web site. I have been contemplating setting up a tank for many months now but really have no idea how to do it. My experience is limited to the proverbial goldfish in a bowl. I have been reading all...
