Hello everyone, I've been on this forum for several years, but I got out of the hobby about a year and a half ago. I'm trying to get back into it slowly with a new 10 gallon nano DIY AIO tank. I'll post a few pics of the new build over the next few weeks.

I know they are pretty hardy, and can bounce back, but I am worried about him.

He seem to be eating real well. I fed him this morning, and he ate real well.

Here we go, this is the best I can do for ya!!

He is the only fish in the tank, it is a 10G nano. Hopefully this is a better picture for you guys. Its at about the limitations of my camera. He does share the tank with a peppermint shrimp, a margarita snail, blue and red legged crabs.

Sorry I forgot to do this. PH = 8.2 Nitrates + .05 Nitrites = 0 Ammonia = 0

Ok... so the other day I bought a six line from my LFS. It looked great in the store, and the owner feed it in front of me so I know it was a healthy fish, no imperfections. I have had him now for about 4 days, and he has ripped a chunk out of his dorsal fin, and has loosened 2-3 scales on...

So I decided to go with a product called Worm RX. My LFS said that he has used it in the past and it has worked very well for him. I put it in this morning, and I have noticed that the worms are not moving anymore, so I am assuming that it worked. The LFS guy said since I didn't have any live...

My tank is near the end of its cycle, and I am seeing some flat kinda greenish looking things that are moving around the tank. I am worried that they may me flat worms!! Please help!!! This is kinda what they look like!! How can I fix the problem with out spending a ton of money?:frustrat:

I will have to ask my friend what he does for his vodka treatments. I don't think he uses that good of quality vodka, but he is careful about the proof!! I'll get back to ya on that one. In the mean time here is a good article for you to read on the subject. Vodka Dosing by 'Genetics' and...

I am about 30min north of there it looks like it's right in Highland Park!!!:D

I met a guy at my LFS that deals in rock. I was able to go to his house and cherry pick the rock that's in my tank. I am pretty happy with the selection!!:happysun:

By request here is the 10G nano that I just started!! http://photobucket.com/bensnanoreef

I have a friend that is currently doing this in his 125G tank. He has been doing it for about a month now, and I seems to be working great! He says that is works in place of active charcoal. I'm a believer!!!
