    Jackass Number Two!

    This movie was hilarious. The devil part was completely unexpected. I could have done without the horse though.

    LFS trade-in

    I don't know about SW fish. But when I was doing FW fish and had to move, I brought in close to 30 semi-rare cichlids. I got $10. Then I saw what they were selling my fish for. The cheapest one was for $45. Dangit.

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    I wanted one mostly because they're a great looking fish and most people don't have one. But like I said, if it's skin is delicate a net might tear it. Forget about it. I was thinking about the white cheeck tang as a substitute. Yeah, I'll probably just go with that. And after looking at prices...

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    These sound cool. Do they have adjustable speeds? (as far as rotation) Ok, so if I'm right.... no sump = cool animated pictures. That's a nice tank. Without a sump though, where's the skimmer? Unless there's a hangon that I'm just not seeing.

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    That's why I'm asking a lot of questions and throwing out a lot of what if's. The more I know, the better off I'll be.

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    The reason I asked if a sump was really necessary is because, in order to have one... I'd have to build a new stand. If it's gotta be done... it's gotta be done. As for the spraybar, let's say I set one up to run the length of the tank in the back. And set it about an inch above the level of...

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    Haha, don't worry. I didn't think it was harsh. Just blunt. I want to have everything planned out well before I actually start purchasing anything. And I'd like to have all the equipment necessary before putting in the fish and coral. So that I dont... say... but sufficient lights for now, but...

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    Yeah, that's what I was planning to do. Mostly dry rock, with a few pieces of LR to get it started. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and go for MH, as I really do want to keep clams. The plate coral isn't something I must have, so no big deal there. It's also the only one that hasn't been...

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    Done! They eat nothing else? Ah, I was under the impression the problems were stress related. But if I can't even net it without worrying if it got hurt... then forget it. Ah, it's just that most pictures I see, it looks like the come through the overflow. But good for me! No drilling! I know...

    New Tank- 150gal setup help!

    Hi. I'm Jon. I'm starting up a 150gal reef tank. Here's what I'd like to keep: Fish: Achilles Tang (yeah, I know it's a hard fish to keep) Copperband Butterfly (maybe) Mandarin Goby 3 McCoskers Wrasse 2 Ocellaris Clowns (pair) That's it, I want to keep the fish load light. Corals: LOTS of...

    Tangs

    Aren't Achilles supposed to be extremely difficult to keep?

    seperating a clown pair then re-uniting?

    Sounds like my roomate and his gf.

    Dragonets. Should I, shouldnt I?

    Yeah, "him". Hahaha. He's scared to ask questions.

    Dragonets. Should I, shouldnt I?

    Well that's a bummer. What about those headshield snails (slugs?)? They resemble nudibranch's. I've heard they eat flatworms, and the only problem is that eventually the flatworm pop dwindles down to the point where it can't find them anymore and starves. See, my friend's whole thing is he...

    Dragonets. Should I, shouldnt I?

    My friend got a mandarin as flatworm control, but he hasn't even a dent made in the population of flatworms. Was the guy who sold it to him lying? So far the only thing that has disappeared has been the pods. He got a bottle from oceanpods today, so he's not letting it starve or anything. He...

    30gal cube growout tank. Help?

    Yeah, I'm not planning on doing sps. I also figured I wouldn't be able to really transfer anything over, so I'm not too worried about that. I think after the other tank is setup and I've moved the coral, I'll use the 30 mostly as a QT/frag tank. Would I really need a MH for shrooms/rics? Seems...

    30gal cube growout tank. Help?

    Me and my friend have been propogating his ricordea's and mushrooms. But he's running out of room in his tank. I have a 30gal cube that I'd like to setup for them to grow in until I get my main tank up and running. What's a cheap way of setting this up? I'd hate to be spending a lot of the...

    Can my friend keep...

    Well he hasn't gotten one yet. So I don't know how big it would be. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind the feeding. What's involved with that? Also, could he keep one lower in the tank?

    Can my friend keep...

    ...a clam with this setup? He's got a 40gal tank. Averaging about 6 watts per gallon. PC lighting. The lights are about 3" from the surface of the water, and the clam could be put within 5" under the surface. So it would be about 8" from the lights. I know clams need a lot of lighting, and I...
