    Long time no post: TANK TROUBLE: Yote, I need you.

    I have not posted in a long time because well, my tank was doing quite well for several months and I have been working a lot of hours. Fast forward to two months ago (or rewind depending on how you look at it). My lovely seahorses were as happy as can be one day and the next the female was...

    Dead Sea Hare =Nitrate Spike = Crash...maybe

    So, about a month ago a stupid rock anemone popped up out of one of my live rocks. Well, it was the middle of the week so I decided I would get it on the weekend. Anyway.. at that point my parameters were excellent (0 nitrates, 0 ammonia/nitrites, PH Ca etc all at good levels). So, forward to...

    Top offs with Bottle Water

    Does anyone here use bottled water to fill or top off your tank? I started using bottled water for tank top offs about 2 months ago. This is because I finally tested my well water that I had been usng and while everything else was perfect the nitrates were off the chart (over 160ppm). I could...

    Hey Daugherty...you seahorses

    When you had your seahorses...did you have any corals or was it a species tank? If it was a reef... did you have any frog spawn, hammer or torch corals? If so, how did the horses do with them in there. Thanks, Kathy

    My Seahorses arrived!!!

    I purchased 2 Southern H. Erectus from Premium Aquatics. They were packaged well and arrived alive. My only complaint thus far is that the box was not marked live animal and therefore undoubtedly was tossed around uneccessarily. They are in the tank and seem to be acclimating well. I had to put...

    Lawnmower Blenny uses a pillow

    My lawnmower Blennie curled himself up last night between a wall of the live rock and one of my Ricardia's. The Ricardia had closed up part of itself so that only the smooth underside was showing. My Blennie (named Wally) decided it would make a great pillow and he literally rested his head on...

    Mobile Home (floors) and Aquarium Sizes

    I have not been able to find any specs on what my mobile home floor can support. It is a single wide (14x56)built in 1993 so is to HUD standards on a steel under frame. (there's a crawl space between indoor floor and ground) I have a spot on an outer wall (the end/shorter wall) for my second...

    Clown Behavior

    I got a pair of clowns last week. They are doing well, eating well, made friends with my Tang etc. My question is, do they ever sleep or take a break from swimming? Because mine either only do it when the lights are completely out or they are just not stopping. I would think they would have to...

    Identifying a hitchhiker

    A day after adding some brine shrimp to my tank these little "bugs" were attached to the side of the tank glass. There are a few different species. Some look like copepods and that is great. But the one I am concerned about I can't seem to find any pictures or info on it. They are small, a...
