AMAZING!!!! our tank now just looks boring. I don't have any corals just FOWLR.

Also-- my tank is a corner tank. 5 sides ie Pentagon. I have my tank in between tons of windows--- 3 side by side in the den and one in the kitchen. The only thing that I can think that is a disadvantage having next to windows-- algae growth-- but if you have good clean up crew should be okay--...

LFS = local fish store :sfish: I also an fairly new (Dec 08) when I turned my 44gal Pentagon tank to salt water. Live sand - live rock also in my tank. Takes a couple days for everything to get settled. Live Rocks do need to stay wet--- just last week I took my live rock out of the tank keeping...

Appreciate your comments. I have talked him into keeping that one a freshwater tank and continuing to assist me with the big (44gal) tank.:D Again many thanks. I didn't think it would be right to try a 10 gal as new to this as I am. Love this forum with all your great comments.

My son- of course - 12yrs old - has enjoyed my tank and wants his own. I have a 10gal tank sitting at home - What can he do in a 10gal tank? in the saltwater arena? Should we use live sand and live rock in such a small tank? What types of fish can survive in a 10 gal? or would it be best just to...

I did it.... I took all my live rock out of the tank--- and brushed it off... keeping of course the live rock wet with a spray bottle and used a bucket of water from the tank to clean it in.... I have roughly 30lbs live rock -- my question to you is: now that my live rock is free of algae --...

Welcome to this site--- wish I had a 70 gal to work with -- mine is 44 gal pentagon (corner tank).

My poor crab - I think now it must have been the sergent major. :-( Got another Emerald Crab today -- much bigger this time. He should like his new home. Will be getting more rock soon too. Roughly 30lbs live rock right now - 44 gal tank (corner tank) how much LR is enough?

Hello again- I have found that my original snails died as I did not acclimate correctly. I was told to acclimate like the fish and not the drip method - gotta love the advise from LFS. Also after the introduction of new snails properly acclimated - found out as I watched a little astia fall that...

Hello - I have had my tank since Dec 08 -plenty of water changes and quite used to chemical testing - still using strip method - will get drops later (master kit). I have just bought a rather large emerald crab - very green snipped the LFS guys finger (hehe) I wanted a big one as I have a rather...

I found that for anemones this site is wow - Caring for these beautiful creatures - INTRODUCTION - mine died -- wont be doing that again as my lights and tank are just not suitable - the LFS steered me in the wrong direction - told me my tank would sustain it and they knew what I had bought-...

when I got new rock for my tank before the fish we had a black clawed crab -- he was kinda cool as he was the only living creature in the tank - go buy some canned shrimp for salt water tank they will literally climb out on the rock to snag the shrimp and eat with vengence- you can catch it then...

I have what the LFS called a "dragon goby" he has a blueish green stripe on its face and red dots on the top of his head and black stripes on his body -- he picks at the sand drops the sand out the bottom and the other stuff floats - the fish love to eat at the floating stuff :-) he is so cool...
