PooOOOO #2...Got my refractometer today. My water measures actually at 41 ppt or 1.032 SG where the hydrometer had it at 37 ppt or 1.028..Now that's a difference!!!

Last night I removed the torch from the tank and put it in a small container. All of the heads were completely slimed over and every head was brown after I came home from class. I'm really...

Well, the torch is toast and I totally screwed up. I had used the advice from some older posts on another forum that had used RO water (fresh) but I didn't feel totally comfortable putting it into...

Welly crappy #@^4%^#&@, looks like it's afflicted with brown jelly disease. A tonne of slime came out after lights out so I siphoned off most of it, and half of a head is dead. Off to buy some...

I wanted to get some others opinions on the recent problem I am having.

I added two small fish about 3 weeks ago and initially none of my corals wanted to open back up after I added the new fish....

My two tank raised false percs are nicely covered in black splotches courtesy of my torch coral. Is there anything I can do to help promote faster healing for them without taking them out into...

You've got a good start going there!! I'm looking forward to the future stocking of it!

I have a BC29 as well and I lost the bioballs right off the bat, got rid of the blue sponge and I only run a...

Morning all!

I have about 2" square frag of GSP on a cut piece of rock. I've stuffed it in a corner of the tank against the back right now. I really want this to grow up the back wall in the...

Very pretty!!

My two clowns like either the corner by the nozzle or they like the overflow. I think they like surfing the flow! It's the Aussie jetstream dude...or whatever it's called from Finding Nemo :)

I don't get any fan noise in my biocube but I have read that some people do. I can't turn off my daylights and turn them back on right away. The lights need about 20 mins or so to cool before I can...

It's been a little while since I last posted. I survived Vegas.....barely (no...pics are not on facebook), a crazy few days at work and negotiating a new 2010 truck.

I have added one green torch...

Looking very good!!

I think as long as you do a super job of cleaning and rinsing the fossilized coral you could use it in your tank. There are several different ways to clean the rock that people claim as successful...

Very cool fish pics, all of them!!

Hi Fred!!

I have the 29 g Bio-cube and the total volume does include back. I had a lot of recommendations on how to set up the tank in a better fashion than what Oceanic offers. I ditched the...

Ok, i'll play along! Although it's been almost a month since anyone's posted on this, I've enjoyed reading through it so thought I better contribute!

Me with my non-fishy hobbies...

Thanks!! Bob, as I will fondly refer to him from now on, is a little too big for my little tank so I will just enjoy looking at him at the LFS tank

Clown gobies, red head goby, watchmen goby, those are always good choices to start with. There are several types of clown gobies but I would avoid any of the sleeper, spotted or engineer gobies....

Hockey is way better in person than on TV. Watching some of the crazy fans is almost as fun. Now, if you want a violent sport, watch lacrosse. I saw it for the first time a couple years ago and was...

Coming into the house, I noticed that my little green goby wasn't on his usual perch. I know I've only had him a week but he was swimming up to his food, staying out in the open and had found two...

I'm in the middle of bald a$$ prairie...no swamps...but I agree to being a noooooobie

However, in my line of work, I've sent consultants back to the drawing board because they can't speak metric :)

Can you tell me the name of the blue and yellow fish in post #3 pic #4?? I can't remember the name and the LFS has one in. I just want to learn more about them and suitability for a smaller tank
...

That would be Alberta, which is why I totally understand your metric talk :) Although I don't get swap rat :)

you got'er, one of them.

And hey...I own three of Satan's spawn...aka 2 crazy border collies and a lab so what's a mere devil's spawn??? Nothing...I tell you...nothing!!

Hey, you know how much work it took to get that underwater purple paint to do that 3D look??? :):D:D

Very cool site and a great idea! Any plans to expand north in the future to cover Canada? Other than being in touch with local reefers for frags I would support someone who has a track record of...

Just wanted to post a pic of my old tank

http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq78/skrabbleproductions/AquariumApr2005002.jpg

Was in the process of upgrading all the lighting prior to having to...

I'm sorry, but I just had a visual of you explaining this in the back yard over a few beers and a lot of straws :)

Good explanation though!

I'm quite pleased. I found a Canadian forum that I've been able to get in touch with several people selling off frags and that's how I found this one. It opened back up after only a couple hours in...

Here my GSP

http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq78/skrabbleproductions/DSC_6561.jpg

Carmie, It looks similar to that but the tentacles aren't as long and they are individual pieces. I was concerned that it was aptasia but also doesn't match those characteristics either. I have never...

I'm picking up my GSP today but to date I've found the following in my live rock

- Eurythoe complanata (as identified from Hitchhikers Guide to the Reef)
- feather dusters
- what looks to be a...

Thanks for the advice! I've found some local people who are selling frags at a reasonable price, I'm picking one up this weekend!
