ACK! I SAW A BUG! I was staring at my little one pound live rock and noticed a few things. First, I noticed there are some GREEN SPOTS growing on it. And even a few purple. Then I jumped... something... MOVED in there... I looked a little closer at one of the holes in the rock and there...

I've been keeping my eyes open trying to find some affordable live rock for my 30 gal, but to no avail. I only need about 15 pounds of live rock and to be honest, that's about all I can afford (I have to miss some work because of JURY DUTY CRAP! :frustrat:), but my lfs sells LR for $10 per...

I know it's not much to look at right now but I figured I'd start a thread. My background is ugly. Some water seeped/spilt down the back and now it looks all bubbly. I'll probably just put some more water down the back and just squegee it tight. All tank. No fish. One rock. :shock...

:frustrat: I was going to test my ammonia this morning to see if a cycle has started, but to my misfortune, I lost my tube thing! You know, the tube you put the tank water in and ad the drops to to test the water? I lost my glass tube thing. I don't want to go out and spend another 10 bucks...

As some of you know, my 30 gal has been cycling for about 3 days now. No fish yet. Just a little one pound live rock. everytime I go into lfs and see fish... everytime I go to aquarium fish store websites... I'm tempted. yes. tempted to buy fish. ... must... have.... fish... new...

Oo oo oo I was in the lfs and they had a few Lionfish and they looked so awesome. I read that they need a 50 gallon tank. Hmm. I wonder if they would be okay in a saaaay 30 gallon tank? or do they have like, mini lionfish? :-p or 30 gallon lionfish? :question:

After purchasing my first live rock today and putting it in my tank, a questions arose. How do I know my live rock is still "live"? Since it's my first rock, I might have screwed something up and killed it.... so.. how do I know it's still "live" and not "dead" rock? Come to think of it...

Yaye! I'm feeling the rush of excitement of setting up an aquarium. Wheeeeeee! :mrgreen: I added more water to my new 30 gal and it's 2-3 gallons short of being full! I turned on my heater, I have a live rock sitting in a bucket just waiting to go in that tank! it's only a 1.5 pound rock...

Okay. I bought a pound of live rock today to get my tank started. Here's my situation. I bought the rock. My tank has water in it, but it's not mixed with salt and it's not heated yet. Is it okay to put my live rock in there since my water isn't mixed or heated yet? Or should I put my live...

Running a survey here. What is your tank size and how much $ do you spend on average for upkeep and maintenance on your tank?:twocents: I'm trying to figure out if I can actually afford it in the long run. :death:

Ok so I got some crushed coral and put it in my tank. I guess I didn't rinse it off good enough because I started filling my tank today with distilled water and to my misfortune, the water is MUDDY/CLOUDY because of the cc. Um.... is that going to filter through and clear up during my cycle...

Ok so I've got my 30g and need to plan out the fish I'm gonna put in it. Here's what I'm thinking. Maybe some of these ... and one of these... and i was thinking perhaps a pair of these :twisted::trampolin

Okay so today I decided to rinse some of my crushed coral I bought for the tank. Well... It's muddy. I keep rinsing and rinsing and rinsing, but the water won't come through clean. It's muddy and murky. What's the best way to rinse this stuff off? Also, the crushed coral pieces look really...

:frustrat: Stupid stupid bigal. i ordered some things from bigalsonline.com and I'm disappointed. I ordered a 100w jager heater which was advertised as "submersible". only to find out today, after instlaling it, that it is NOT submersible at all. In fact, it has pretty demanding water level...

I started setting up my aquarium. Putting together my filter just now and have some questions about it. My first question is, there's this attachment that connects mid-way on the intake tube called a "mid-level intake strainer". Um. What is that for? I can open or close it... should it be...

Ok. I'm looking for a heater for my 30 gal salt tank. I have 2 here I'm looking at. Not too teribly expensive. This one: Aquarium Systems Visi-Therm 150 Watt Heater at Big Al's Online and this one here: Jager Heater - 150 Watt at Big Al's Online I'm new to all of this so I have no idea...

I was in the fish shop today and looking through some power filters and the only filter they stock, is emperer. Before I left the store, the shopkeeper specifically told me to stay away from Penguin filters, that they are no good. Any thoughts on a good filter? I'm looking at this one: Power...

OK I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank... but I want to step things up a bit and get a saltwater setup. I don't know anything at all about saltwater so I need all the help I can get. First things first, I'm not exactly rich. Kinda watching my money. I'm a poor man. :( K. Here's what I'm...

:trampolin Well, I'm here to see the fellow fishers and learn as much as I can about setting up my new 29 gallon salt water aquarium! :question:
