    stinging hydroids????

    About 6 months into my reef tank I started getting bumpy, itchy rashes on the back of my hand or under my fore arm every time I worked in the tank. After a particularly bad rash, I bought the long silly gloves and the problem was solved. But those gloves are so hard to work in. So...the other...

    Feeding new australian tank raised hippo tang

    I have a few questions regarding ich and quarantines. First I should admit that I have not quarantined my fish to date. But, I am going to be doing so in the future! How do you ever know for sure there is no ich in the tank? My understanding is that the ich may be present, but only show...

    Can you ID these guys for me please?

    I have the brown wafer algae, too. It is a bummer. It spreads fast. I just keep peeling off as much as I can. But, it is disappearing now. I did a major light upgrade - maybe that is why? Or maybe it has just run it's course like most things do?

    My first sick fish.....

    The consultation sounds interesting......however, I do not have the money for it right now...especially on top of the money needed for the QT tank set-up and medications, if any. I will be moving her over to a seperate tank this evening....does anyone have any ideas on where to go from there...

    My first sick fish.....

    After a successful first year, I am looking at my first crisis. I have had my female clown fish for one year and she has always been the boss of the tank. For the past 6 months, she has had black splotches on her body - but I have read this is normal. However, a week or two ago, she began to...

    sand/detritus maintenance

    Last night I transferred my 25 gallon over into my new 75. First I poured in a 20 pound bag of live sand. I planned on adding the 20 pounds of sand from my 25, too. No way! That stuff was nasty, nothing but a cloud of detritus. My 25 was up for almost a year, but it wasn't until recently...

    Let's see your shrooms

    Reefer - those mushrooms multiplied that fast in one month!? I must be doing something wrong. What kind of lighting do you have them under? I love mushrooms - sorry no pictures to post right now, though. I have several including some green stripes, but I would really like to find some blue...

    Do you favor Soft corals or SPS, or LPS

    I love softies, shrooms, zoos and lps. I don't care for the look of sps - which is good because they are more difficult and more expense.

    finally upgrading

    Thanks for the encouragement. I moved the 25 and contents into another room last night, so I could put the new tank in it's spot. What a job that was! I have always heard not to cover the tank for heat and oxygen issues, however, I asked the question because here is what Hellolights has on...

    finally upgrading

    I am finally upgrading my tank. I have had a 25 gallon tank for about 10 months now and I have just purchased a 75 gallon glass tank. I was excited - but now I am more nervous :) I am wondering if I bit off more than I can chew! This thing is monstrous!!! I am beginning to wonder if I can...

    How do i build a 10-15 gal nano reef???

    oops, double post ealier. I was also thinking for a light on a 10 or 15 gallon, you could also get away with either a single 65 watt pc bulb or a 2x40 watt pc fixture. But, I think the single 65 watt only comes in 24" size and a 10 gallon is only 20". At any rate, you should shoot for at...

    How do i build a 10-15 gal nano reef???

    I have a 25 gallon nano and did a lot of researching of equipment and prices. Your best/cheapest bet would be a 10 gallon tank which ought to be about $10. Or a 15 gallon would give you more room and probably cost not too much more. With a tank this size you can probably avoid getting a stand...

    Whew! It's done!

    Lucky you! Do you have any pictures of the new tank? How much more liverock did you add? I am in your same boat. I currently have a 25 gallon and have been looking around for a bigger tank in the 50 to 75 range. Good to hear that the transition went ok - gives me hope!! Beth.

    to buy or not to buy

    Thanks for all the comments to ponder! I think I am not going to get it, because I would have had to buy new bulbs and possibly another light fixture to up the lighting, and when that is all said and done, it wouldn't be that much less than a brand new set-up. I have done some shopping and...

    to buy or not to buy

    I need some guidance!! I found a used tank I am considering - it is 65 gallons - 36X18X24. It comes with a home-made hood with 2 96 watt pcs, and not too much room to add more. This works out to about 3 watts per gallon. Is this enough? I keep softies - especially mushrooms and polyps - and...
