don't worry, im skipping the canister! is there anything else i could put in my HOB filter (top fin 60) that would work the same as the filter pads but be cheaper? im kinda tired of buying new ones all of the time. would LR work? i just got done reading a lot of the reviews on the prizm protein...

looking at the deluxe prizm, with the media basket, does it double up as a HOB filter?

:shock: this tank is in my bedroom... how bad is the noise from the skimmer?

hmmm... well alright. ill look into that skimmer for sure! thanks!

alright, so I'm wanting to upgrade the filtration on my tank with a canister filter and a protein skimmer and i want some opinions... i know that you can't get a good protein skimmer for cheap so ive made room in my budget for one that is AT MOST $150. i also don't have a sump, so id like one...

thanks for the clarification :) the guy at the LFS just compared the strawberry crabs to them when he was telling me what all he had in his tank

aren't the red emerald crabs called strawberry crabs? ive seen them before at the LFS. these are a lot different though.. the way his claws rest, the size of the claws, his eyes, and his multi-colored legs are just too many differences for me to put them together.. also, my emerald crab in the...

i wish i could say i knew more but i don't get to observe him all of the time... this is the first time he's been out at the front of my tank in the whole month that ive had him! it's cool to find him resting in a certain spot though. he usually has his eyes laying down in the grooves of his...

Re: March POTM - Pinks or Reds!

so a lot of the fish stores in my area have these crabs all of the time. they just call them red crabs, but i've never found anything about them online or heard of anyone else having them when ive tried looking for information. ive had mine for about a month so far and all i know is that it's...

i took a sample of water to the store. they said for some reason my tank has been producing ammonia.. i guess my test kit is out of date.. i did another water change and added some ammonia detox to it. nitrates are 10 ppm and there are only trace amounts of nitrites. hopefully this will make a...

the past 2 days my lawn mower blenny has not been acting normal. his color is extremely pale and he's sitting on one rock with out moving at all. he only responds to anything when i hand feed him some frozen shrimp while he normally flees from my hand. ive already done 2 water changes and it...

you must have missed that part in the original post. he's been in my tank for a month eating the frozen food :)

i think that's just you... none of the other's show any interest in him and if they go near, he flares his fins and they go away :)

i actually bought him from the store eating frozen foods so no worries there! :)

I'm using a nikon d5000. thank you :) im actually going to take an under water photography course in a year, so im looking to improve!

i know most people say to stray away from mandarin's because they're hard to keep alive due to them not eating, but im proud to say that mine has done well for the past month :) i've been told that they need 70-75 gallon tanks so that they'll have enough copepods around the tank to feed on...

I put mine in a whole in the rock and it attached itself after a couple days and has been fine ever since.

Right now, I have the Eclipse 3 system (3 gallons) that is freshwater, but i am considering turning it into a micro reef next summer. I know most people say that keeping a micro reef is a lot harder than having a larger reef tank, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on turning my 40 gallon...
