    Need advice moving 14g biocube!!!

    You can also find hot or cold packs as needed. If you want to save the water get about three bucket w/lids. You can divide the rock between two and put your sand in the other, divide the water between buckets. The hermits and snails should be fine in the buckets. Fish I would place in...

    They are just trying to protect thier house from intruders! But the Aqua Gloves are just a good idea for your protection. Most fish can nip just to check it out and see if it is food. If you end up with a pair of clowns and they lay eggs then they can be REALLT protective.

    Little white creatures!!!!!!

    I usually find them near the bottom of the tank or around the top rim. I think they are after a little of the premium algae that grows around the water line. I have occasionally seen larger ones climbing around on the wall. If you watch you tank when the lights firs come on you can sometimes...

    Little white creatures!!!!!!

    I would agree that it looks like it has legs, which could be a Hydyoid. If it is it is not good. Usually you can have a outbreak of these floating aptasia especially when feeding live foods. Maybe nastier than aptasia because they float and stick to creatures. One other thing it could be is...

    Question about 1st tank......

    I drill tanks if you can not find some one closer. I can also build the overflow box. Most tanks are tempered bottom. You can usually find the list on the manufactures web site. The all glass 40 gallon breeder is not tempered on the bottom, no center brace, very nice tank for corals, but...

    Fish for Nano tanks? :]

    Damsels have their place. Usually in a larger aquarium where you can school them. IMO it seems that if you have two or three they bicker all the time and chase stuff around. Now if you have say 12 or 15 they chase each other around and try and keep their own territory. In a small tank that...

    Green Slimer Problem

    With all the hard corals and the one soft coral there could still be a good war going on in that small of a tank. Depend on the flow and how the flow is moving through the tank it could still be getting the effect of the soft coral. I also agree that you are dosig way to much, most of those...

    Fish for Nano tanks? :]

    Yeah, If you put a damsel in you have to get it out.... I had a yellow clown goby, a small cleaner shrimp, a snapping shrimp with a goby. Some mushrooms and zoeantids. You can also get some of the cooler red or green culerpa to help in algae control.

    New Kol Tang - help!

    Also, one more note. Tangs and a lot of other fish like hide out in rocks at night. Some actually wedge themselves into a previous for security. Constantly moving rocks around to check on them can trap, or crush them. This can sometimes help (moving rock) if you are introducing a new tank...

    What would you do to Fix this??

    Here is what I did for deep tanks or hard to reach spots. I purchased a piece of the ridged air tube, that goes inside the uplift tube for a undergravel filter, and a short piece of the flexable air tubing. Take the ridged tube and connect it to the end of your syringe with a short piece of...

    Setting up a new 125, help with configuration

    Be careful of "cheap fluorescent" lighting, moisture can get to the ends and start corrosion. This can lead to a short or a fire. A electronic float switch can be used to shut off your pump if the water level rises to high. The switch set up has a low switch and a high switch. One to top off...

    Setting up a new 125, help with configuration

    Yes if you are worried about the drain clogging I would definitely get a screen cover. I had a snail crawled in my drain tube and it was like someone closed a valve. I was so lucky my Wife was sitting there talking to me on the phone when it happened, She unplugged the pump. That would have...

    Earthquake safe classroom aquarium?

    Is it required at your school for the tank to be earthquake proofed? I agree that a good stand with a acrylic tank would be the safest against leakage and breakage. Also much easier to customize for overflows setup if you want to put the tank up against the wall. Maybe even make the stand...
