    Frag Swaps are lame...

    Slows down enough? Most of us are begging for work to pick up! haha. BTW, my first (and only) experience at a frag swap was the same immediate impression...your "Star Trek Convention" description really made me laugh. I didn't really get much but I also didn't really spend much and it turns...

    Dead Duncan

    This is great to read. Considering how my clown has been trying to bond with my duncan lately... I came home from work the other day and he had popped a few of the duncan's "arms" but everything else was fine. The first couple of days the duncan looked really stressed but looks fine now. I...

    Best Halide for the Dollar

    Well, I have decided I think I want to add 2 halides to my 75 gallon tank. I was wondering what method of doing this is. I have seen 48 inch housings with two bulbs and think this would suit me well. What recommendations do you guys have and where can I find the cheapest setup? I am not...

    Necessity of a Skimmer?

    How important is it that you have a skimmer? I am starting to think my skimmer has crapped out and I don't know if I really want to spend the money on a new one. As of now, it rarely gets used and today I set it up and it doesn't seem to be sucking anything out. I use the wet/dry filtration...

    What to do with Kenya Tree Coral?

    The branches form feet and fall off. They then float around the tank and attach to something. You can also place them wherever you want.

    What to do with Kenya Tree Coral?

    haha, most likely. It was bad enough when my main original frag started sending its spawns all over, now the spawns are reproducing also...

    Coral Recommendations?

    Well, I am in the market for some new corals and I was wondering what everyone recommended. I am not looking for anything that is extremely difficult to care for. Some color and character is what I want. I can't remember the exact number but I believe our tank has like 4.4-5 wpg. No halide...

    What to do with Kenya Tree Coral?

    I will give them away for free. I think Bethleham is a ways away. I would be willing to try to ship them to you...even just priority would probably make it in a day or 2.

    What to do with Kenya Tree Coral?

    Well, I have quickly realized that Kenya Tree Coral multiplies out of control. What do you do with all of this excess coral? I hate to just flush it but I am starting to run out of options.

    Removing Animal from Frag

    Well, this is probably a stupid question, but how do I remove my corals from the frag rocks? I have a mushroom that I would like to get off but I don't want to hurt it by tugging away at it. Thanks!!

    Yellow Tang Sick, Help

    Well, once again I am dealing with a sick fish. We purchased a yellow tang almost 3 weeks ago now and he has been in the 30 gal QT since we got him. He has a great appetite and is getting fed formula 1, 2, and seaweed strips. Over the past 4 or 5 days we have noticed 4 fluffy, white spots...

    Pseudochromis for Reef Tank?

    Well, I am finally adding fish back to our tank and I am seeking some advice. I picked up a yellow tang today and have it in my quarantine tank. Now I am looking for a solution to our quickly growing krill and bristle worm population. I have been considering pseudochromis. I don't want to...

    Fish Got Wiped Out

    That's what I said. The whole challenge was to save "OUR" clownfish, not go buy a new one. I wanted to keep his character. They all act different, he is well behaved and doesn't cause any problems

    Quarantine Tank

    I know this might not be the exact place to put this post but I didn't know what other thread would be more appropriate. I have a 75 gallon tank that is my primary, a 30 gallon quarantine, and a 10 gallon hospital. Anyway, I am looking to get rid of the 30 gallon because I feel its...

    Fish Got Wiped Out

    Today the clown looks great. The only marks remaining are 3 small sores from rubbing on his head. He doesn't seem to have a trace of white left on him, his eyes are clear and everything. He looks great IMO. Now there is still one serious problem. He flat out WON'T eat. I have tried...

    Fish Got Wiped Out

    I haven't had any luck with eating yet and some interesting stuff is happening today. I noticed when I got up that he has a white filmy material coming out of his gills and it was coming off his back. I am hoping it is the dead and dying parasites coming out. Since then, it has completely...

    Fish Got Wiped Out

    It's very hard to describe these symptoms. Basically it started with a slight haze around his eye. Now there are red spots in his white stripe mostly on his top of his head. These spots appeared yesterday and I am beginning to believe they are from rubbing on the decoration. Now, today there...
