    95 in Seattle mid week....

    I had the lights on for an hour before I left and maybe an hour in the evening. All is well so far with the fans all blowing over the fuge and sump. I was sure hot in there but the chiller kept the tank at 80. Today is the true test! How long is this heat wave going to last anyhow?

    95 in Seattle mid week....

    its a 36 gallon corner tank, with a 1/10 hp chiller. Sizewise its fine, I am just conerned if the room gets over 90. I am going to go: No lights Big Fans maybe a frozen bottle in the sump.

    95 in Seattle mid week....

    I really don't know if the chiller can keep up or not, this is the first big test and I am very nervous. I am liking the frozen milk carton idea, I can swing home at lunch and drop it in the sump. what a pain though, having to do that every times its hot

    great idea, the problems again are I leave the house at 7, and this is only a 36 gallon tank with a 7 gallon sump. If its really scorching I may have to come home at lunch and do that milk carton thing.

    95 in Seattle mid week....

    So, even with my chiller and fans blowing my apartment still gets very hot. Do you think my tank could go a couple days with no lights? All I have are Zoo's, a couple fish and a clean up crew.

    if he has been missing for a week and is no longer amongst the living I bet your clean up crew has done their job.

    Pearly and Blue Spotted

    I think the blue spotted would kill the pearly, they cannot interbreed, different species. unless its a HUGE tank then maybe you could have both, but I don't think so.

    blue spotted jaw fish

    oh yeah, I forgot to mention that too. Spent 130.00 on this fish and about the 5th day I had him I found him on the carpet. Dried out, mouth open, and as I reached down to pick him up he started flopping, still alive! I put him back in the tank and he gasped for a couple hours. It was then...

    blue spotted jaw fish

    I had one once. Had a 4 inch sandbed and that fish dug and dug and never stopped. Burried all my corals that were on the floor of the tank, every 2 or 3 days I would have to level out the sand and dust off the corals , the next morning he would have wrecked it again. He never stopped, I would...

    I read up on them and I guess they can be very picky eaters, almost like a mandarin. Scared me off of them

    Coral Banded Shimp - Should I get rid of it?

    That bums me about Banded Coral Shrimps, I got one for my tank as I thought they were mellow. I just got a blenny, so we shall see how he does. That blenny has a bit of an attitude though, I think he will be fine.

    Help With Aptasia

    so you just leave the rock in the tank and sneak up on them with the syringe full of boiling water and let 'em have it? Do you poke it into them or just spray them? I have a couple in my tank right now but I could just remove the rocks and scrape them off and then give them the spot blast of...
