    Let's See Some Zoos!

    breefcase... sorry it has taken along time to answer, had to move to new house. I love the ones that you have. I do have some to trade.. Pinks, reverse gorilla nipples, reds(look like fire and ice), some light colored ones that are yellowish in the 10,000Ks and orangish under the atinics...

    Tank size/configuration questions

    I agree with burning. FO tank does not have to be agressive. I have seen quite a few that are FOWLR that have no agressive fish in them(unless you count the damsels) Gary... I think you are being harsh for what is going on here. Are you saying that you have never killed a fish or lost...

    The move

    Didn't get up too early the next morning... real late night... All the fish are alive and the only loss that I think I have is the daisy coral.

    The move

    Everything back in the tank... and almost filled. it is now 12 hrs after starting the move. I think my set back was that I wanted to clean the sand.. and that just messed it up for along time. I somehow didn't get enough fresh water to completely flush the sand.. so I ended up running the...

    The move

    This is at the new house with 3 buckets already removed from the car. I had most of the buckets and my friend, Gary (the next picture) had the hood and stand along with 3 buckets and the blue containers with all the various crap in them. Buckets and hood in the house... ready for the tank...

    The move

    Softie bucket on the left and the SPS, LPS bucket on the right. My Zoa bucket and snail/hermit and pump bucket. I did this because the last time I moved I had a real big problem with all the coraline algea turning white on me. So this helped alot. Close up of the Zoas... they faired really...

    The move

    Time is around 1200. Everything still running in the tank. MH is on keeping the temp up. I cleared the food and the seashells off the top of the tank and put them in a box to take to the house. 2 boxes of extra supplies (filters, hoses, pumps, and other various items) and the stand for the...

    The move

    The garage was converted into 2 rooms... the wife has agreed to let me have the back room as a fish room... and it also has to double as a storage room... I can live with that. The walls were a light green and we painted them this nice shade of blue Here I got all my buckets out, rinsed and...

    How much salt?

    My xenia has thrived in 1.024 and maybe even lower. What I have found, is that my xenia does not like pristine water. My xenia would not grow when I was running a skimmer and keeping the sand and back of the tank clean... So... lower water quality... great growing xenia and zoanthids. Good...

    PUR faucet filter

    I have been using the grocery store water for well over a year. (living in rental places) I haven't had any real problems. I did get 4 gals of water once that was rancid... smelled like a wet towel that had been sitting in the sink for a couple of weeks. I dumped that down the drain when I got...

    any advice on a "hardy" fish?

    my tang will not touch nori or lettuce. He will however eat any type of other food put in the tank... and really likes Mysis

    any advice on a "hardy" fish?

    On yellow tangs.. if you take your time and make sure you choose one that is healthy to begin with, and then monitor it closely for the first couple of weeks, you shouldn't have any problems. I have had mine without any problems for almost 2 yrs now. He even swims through my hand when it is in...

    Has anyone used a polario ?

    where did you find one. I have looked for them and no one has them... and their website says very little. The do look like they would be great. I use the smaller rio PHs and have no problems..

    any advice on a "hardy" fish?

    In a 55 you could have 2 different pairs of clowns, just make sure that you have 2 anenomes. If you only have one, I would buy one that is quite a bit smaller than the one in the tank and of the same kind. Clowns are very territorial. I would try one of the same kind and see if you could get...
