    coral showcase thread

    There's some really nice looking corals on here! Here's a few of mine. I have more pictures of my corals and fish on my phone than my kids. Lol

    cool lfs shots

    I looove lions. I have a 50 gallon bowfront sitting empty right now that I want to put a dwarf lion in. But I keep going back and forth between that and making a small reef. Such decisions!! Another place I go to has a display tank with 2 that are probably the same size. They're beautiful...

    Worst fish purchase you've ever made

    I don't know if this counts or not since it wasn't my purchase, but my hubby brought home a rather large seabae anemone for my NANO CUBE and put it in while I was at work last week. He said it was for the clownfish. I asked him if he knew how to take care of it, and he said "no, but you can...

    cool lfs shots

    I take pictures of them all the time, I thought I was just crazy! Lol The first one is their new reef they are building, it only has the base rock and a few large (and pink!) damsels. The tank is a custom rimless built for them, it's dimensions are 10'L x 6'W x 4'H. It is a BEAST. I don't...

    Bedroom tour!

    Your snake habitats look like zoo displays. So pretty! Are all of your tanks on the metal metro shelving or just your little ones?

    Confused about sumps and setups!

    Okay that's what I thought but I wasn't 100 percent sure. Thank you!

    Confused about sumps and setups!

    What is the purpose of the refugiums? (This one I haven't done any research on yet so I apologize.) is this the one that you need to drill your tank for?

    Confused about sumps and setups!

    Thanks! the maintenance isn't an issue (what's 1 more when you already have 6 others, right!? Lol!), my biggest issue if I have no choice but a sump is space for it in the stand. This is my first "from scratch" salt setup, I have a 24 gallon nanocube that I'm really enjoying, but I need...

    Confused about sumps and setups!

    I picked up this 47 gallon bowfront a few days ago with the intentions of doing a FOWLR because I'm not familiar with corals and all of the salt equipment. It was originally a FOWLR setup, and came with a canister filter. Now recently I've been talking to my lfs's and I'm starting to think...

    Pleco Tank for the Small Flavors

    Lots of hiding places = more rocks and driftwood. Sold! That's my two favorite things about my tanks! Lol :) I was thinking a 55 would probably be what I would look for.

    Pleco Tank for the Small Flavors

    Probably 3 or 4, but no more than 5.

    Pleco Tank for the Small Flavors

    I've been thinking about doing a pleco tank with just small species- not the monster types, and maybe 4-5 of them depending on what I can find. I don't have the room for another massive tank, so I thought this might be a good , unique alternative. Obviously bio load would be a huge concern, but...

    The great goldfish die off.

    Lol I thought the same thing! He just looked so bummed out! The general cure must be helping because this morning I turned the light on to find him swimming around with his buddy. I'm doing another water change now and re dosing the tank. Thanks everyone for all of the help, I greatly...

    The great goldfish die off.

    Yes, I have 4 air stones running. One is a large disc and the others are smaller ones.

    The great goldfish die off.

    No his eyes are always that big! They crack me up! Haha =D and yes his scales are all flat. He is now swimming around the tank like he usually does, so I think when I took the pictures he was napping. I did my 50% water change and I also dosed with some API general cure? (the stuff that treats...

    The great goldfish die off.

    Thank you, he(or she!) is my favorite fish I have, and I will be totally devastated if something happens to it! It's a few hours later and he's still hanging out on the bottom, which is very unusual for him. I'm getting ready to do a big water change. My water looks cloudy now(it didn't...

    The great goldfish die off.

    Okay just got home from work (it's almost 7am, I worked the graveyard shift), and turned the lights on to find my grey guy sitting in the bottom. The other one is sitting on the other side behind the plants breathing heavily. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown because I can't figure this...

    The great goldfish die off.

    This evening after this post I did another 50% - that makes a 50 and a 10 every day for 3 days now. I kind of thought my ph crashing would push my tank into another cycle, so I figured it'd be a good time to switch out my substrate.

    The great goldfish die off.

    No, he is the only one that looks/looked like this. The other two were fine and then overnight died. And I believe- but I could be wrong- that the red marks you are referring to are his coloring, but I will double check/look closer in the morning, as well as get a picture of the other guy. My...

    The great goldfish die off.

    My 46 gallon goldfish tank is having serious issues for the past few days. I had a ph swing overnight 3 nights ago but it has since been stabilized, it went from 7.4 to 6. I lost a black moor from that (at least I think it was that that caused his death, he was dead when I turned the lights on)...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Went to my lfs this morning to check on the porcupine puffer I rescued from CL on Thursday, and he was sold already! Made me happy. Went to pick up rocks, and ended up buying a 50 gallon bowfront setup, canister, and a little 5 gallon. But no rocks. Going to make the bowfront a salt water, and...

    50 gallon Tall Tank Build

    Here's a few updated pics. Just got my rocks delivered today, waiting on a few more that should be in tomorrow. Still haven't decided on plants yet.... My lfs didn't really have what I was looking for so I'll check back in a few days after they get a new shipment. I'm really liking how this is...

    Post your full tank shot here.

    Seriously, this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I wish I could do this in my house, I have the perfect wall for it!

    50 gallon Tall Tank Build

    Thanks! I got a package of 6, but only have 2 at the moment. The other ones are on their way now. I'm going to keep a pair and a friend of mine is going to take the other 2. If it comes that I have to rehome my second pair from aggression from the oddball size tank, he's going to take those too...
