    Finally added my first fish...

    he is about 6 maybe 7 inches tip to tip. he is an excellent grazer, doesn't eat anything he's not supposed to but he likes to chase my blennies. he's a striated bristletooth. i would like to swap him out for a kole. little smaller and a little more colorful. the kole probably wouldnt get any...

    Finally added my first fish...

    thats exactly right. take your time don't be in a hurry. you would be reasonably safe with zoas, mushrooms, xenia, or the so called colt corals. you could set up a real nice display with a pile of rocks at one end with some zoas and mushrooms on it and a nice waving zenia or colt in the other...

    dont realy on every thing we tell you, use your on judgement as well. listen to your tank. she will tell you a lot. you have enough rock in there when you are happy with the way it looks, leaving enough room for fish to swim and water to move of course. if there is something wrong in there it...

    Need help with a cooling fan...

    eggcrate is better. acrylic will start to curl up on the edges. i tried it and mine was 1/4 in thick and it curled up on the edges. also if you are using tap water for your tank you are eventually going to have problems. maybe look into a small r/o unit. dont forget, water evaporates but the...

    Need help with a cooling fan...

    what you are doing is just adding the water that evaporates. the salt doesnt evaporate just the the water. as the water evaporates the tank gets salter and salter. when you just ad plain fresh water[ i alwas use reverse osmosis water] it dilutes back to proper salinity. if you are not keeping an...

    Need help with a cooling fan...

    buy some plastic eggcrate. cut to fit top of your tank. leave the canopy top off. use a regular ocilation fan from walmart at the right level to blow across the top. leave 5 or 6 5 gallon buckets of fresh water for the kid, mark the water level in the tank and tell the kid to add to that level...

    Finally added my first fish...

    a royal gramma or maybe an orchid dottyback would probably fit in nicely. feed your tank well and move your rock around if you dont have a lot of coral. that helps to break up the teritory when you introduce new fish. if you decide to get all your new fish at once you could catch your...

    Adding Sponges

    Adding Sponges

    yup sometimes you get some real neat stuff by taking your time and really looking in the rock tank or at the live rock in the fish tanks

    Adding Sponges

    no, they just grew on their own. if you can get really top quality live rock or a really nice piece of rock with polyps or coral or something of that nature lots of times you get a little extra. these little guys grow tubes on the rock you can see and the little feather caps are less then a 1/2...
