    AquaEuro USA AE Skimmers

    I believe they have fixed this problem. I received new pumps several months ago, and I still check them periodically. I have not yet seen any signs of oxidation on the new pumps.

    Aquarium Bill

    Then who's collecting the fish? We get all the fish because Hawaii is in US? That's one seriously ugly and slippery slope to step into! Then Indonesia and Australia say "No fish for US." And the Caribbean nations say "No fish for US." Before you know it, the yellow tang is the ONLY fish we can...

    Aquarium Bill

    Aww, cmon, guys! I wanted some drama! A fight! :D It's honestly reassuring to hear that I'm not alone out there. Sometimes, "problems" are spoken in foreign languages, and an important message is only translated to many people when it's translated through their pocketbooks. Look at oil (no...

    Aquarium Bill

    I'm gonna stick my neck out there and say "It wouldn't bother me if it passed." Will that get me banned? I'm guessing they have a reason for decreasing collection... as in: perhaps populations are decreasing. If the wild populations can't sustain the hobby industry, then they need to be...

    what kind of goby did i have?

    You'd probably get a little more participation if you'd provide at least SOME help in finding it. Show the picture, share the link... something.

    The ShermaNANO, a 12g project

    But the pistol shrimp is in the 120g! :) I know, I know.... It also gives up the QT tank to a permanent resident. Perhaps a proper QT is in order, anyway. There are a few fish I'd like to see come through QT but would be inappropriate in a 12g. The powder blue tang is a fish I've thought about...

    My 300----- the Rebuild

    Wow, Charlie. This thread totally slipped right by me! Congratulations on getting the ol' neglected glass box back in order. When I was there, I could tell it was killing you. Everything already looks 100x better! I'll be tagging along with this one, now.

    The ShermaNANO, a 12g project

    I still feel like this fish is perfect for this tank, and am having a hard time coming to the conclusion that he needs to go into the 120g. One of the reasons I like him in a tank this small is that he's very shy. He typically scurries into the rock every time I enter the office, only to slowly...

    Sherman Tank 120

    Thanks, everyone. This tank is really becoming something to enjoy watching. Charlie, the sailfin still plays "little lost puppy" to the CBB, but he also bullies the foxface around some. They're almost like two siblings, both lower but equal on the totem pole, but the sailfin pushes the foxface...

    Sherman Tank 120

    Since the camera was out, I also decided to try some photography under the new actinic bulbs. The bulbs are Hamilton T5HO Actinics that have a really cool mix between the 420nm and 460nm wavelengths. I typically hate the 460nm, but this bulb was a pleasant surprise. It's still mostly purple...

    Sherman Tank 120

    I finally added a foxface last Friday. He's eating very well and already getting along with everyone. Only the sailfin occasionally reminds him where he stands in the pecking order. I also experienced the weirdest behavioral change, across the whole aquarium. The six existing fish (sailfin, CBB...

    My 24gal "Pod"

    The problem is underwater housings for the XT/XTi will cost more than the camera. Unless you're going to get serious about it, it's actually a lot cheaper to go with a point-n-shoot digital with underwater housing. Additionally, anything deeper than 10' is going to require some pretty serious...

    My 24gal "Pod"

    Scooty, the link is to a review of a few waterproof digital cameras, pocket camera sized. The most popular is the Olympus Stylus 790SW. They're only good for 10 feet, but Krish is scared of the ocean for the most part, anyway.

    Forget the housing. http://www.travelgearblog.com/archive/waterproof-digital-camera.html We're getting so off topic. :)

    My 24gal "Pod"

    Krish will need a more square tank than 8x2. Maybe 6x4? Krish has seen too much real life, wild aquascaping to be hindered by a tank shaped like a runway. Maybe he needs to get back out in the water for more inspiration. Krish, while you're there, tank some photos, so we have some inspiration...

    AquaEuro USA AE Skimmers

    Given those choices, I'd always choose the larger. I'm from the "You can't overskim" crowd, so this one's a no brainer for me.

    Pinched Mantle

    Just checking for updates. Has any research provided any further answers, yet? Barry, have you received enough help to make anything happen?

    What fish should I get?

    I currently have 4 lyretail anthias (Pseudanthias squamipinnis), one male and three females in a 120g. I'm thinking about adding another handful of females. They're awesome fish with their constant activity and schooling. Much flashier than the core staple, the chromis. Granted, they're also a...
