    Hi from Cincinnati

    Hey! I've actually been a member for a few years, but haven't had a saltwater tank for about 2 years now. I had a 10g nano tank for a couple months, but I had to give it up due to some unforeseen circumstances, so I am very much a beginner. Anyway, I have just aquired a 75g measuring around...

    Peppermint Shrimp

    I Only have a 10g so I don't have a lot of rock work so I can usually see mine but he always chills upside down under the rocks. He has 2 spots he loves and doesn't really move from them.

    dumb question?

    So I think I have read somewhere on here about these but I don't remember where so I apologize if I'm repeating a question. I'm still pretty new to this and I get surprised by things in my tank sometimes. I was intently watching the tank up very close and I noticed what I want to say are...

    Too good to be true?

    That would be cool. I know they are pretty difficult to care for though and I'm still Only a few months in.I'd like some more experience before I tried that. I didn't know that that shape would have an impact on what stock I would be able to have. But That's why I turn here for knowledge. You...

    Too good to be true?

    I was at the LFS yesterday, and was talking to one of the guys that works there. He said that he just upgraded his tank, and is looking to get rid of his 55g octagon, with stand and lights.... for $40. I have never bought a used tank, or one of that size, so not really sure what to be looking...

    keeping cool

    Thank you so much for all the help guys. How hard would it be to set up a sump on an already existing tank? I would love to learn how to do it now so when I can afford to upgrade to a nice bigger tank I will already know.

    keeping cool

    No, I took the hood off and put a screen on it so there would be more airflow. I came home and it has cooled down outside so the tank is down to 78.6 right now. Im afraid of the temp swings day in and day out eventually affecting things now. everything seems a bit more lively now that it has...

    keeping cool

    Thanks for the ideas guys. The lights are just the LEds that came withe the Hood. I have a Fowlr tank so I have been keeping the lights off. I don't know how to make a sump, and would it be difficult to add one to an existing tank? And it is my bedroom. I've thought about a window a/c but I...

    keeping cool

    It is proving pretty difficult to keep my aquarium temp in check. Right now it is hovering around 82.5. I have a fan blowing on it to try to keep it down and even put a screen on it instead of the Hood to try to increase airflow but it still seems to not be moving much. Any ideas? I Only have a...

    New to reefing

    So... I have had a FOWLR tank set up for a few months, and I have wanted to get an anenome for my clown to host with. After much regret, I have finally accepted that my tank is not established enough for one. I have a 10g tank right now. My filter has a built in flow nozzle, which acts like a...

    Tank progress

    So I've only been doing this for about 2 1/2 months so far, but it has become an obsession. Thought I would post some pics of my 10g and see what everyone thinks. Where it started to where it is now.

    Shroom dead?

    I was breaking up my rock a few weeks age, and despite my best efforts to keep the crack away from my hitch hiking shroom, it literally cracked in the exact sopt that the base was. It tried to hold on for about 2 weeks, but today I came home from work and its completely shriveled up and dark...
