We picked up a rare stingfish recently...Minous trachycephalus (striped stingfish). It hails from the Western Pacific, and maxes out at about 4.5"...
It depends on which footprint you have...the 48" 100's and 120's are 24" deep. We have a 48" 100 gal and it's a MUCH better footprint for...
Ryan, Are you using RO/DI water or treated tapwater? If you're using the latter, and your water contains chloramine, even tho it is rendered safe...
Are you using a filter sock in the sump? If not, do so. I understand evolved's opinion of bleeding flow back to the sump as opposed to simply...
Agreed...your critters are Convolutriloba retrogemma (AKA red menace, red planaria). I'd go for manual removal (do it in the AM and in the PM if you...
There's a product called "Mr. Sticky's" that is a true two-part aquarium epoxy (similar to 5 minute epoxy) that will cure underwater. You can use...
Higher quality carbon lasts longer, works better, tends to not fall apart/has less dust, and also tends to not release anything once it becomes...
pH is a bit low...I like to see at least 8.0, preferably a bit higher (up to 8.3). Ca is a bit high...shoot for 475 ppm.
It sounds like your skimmer is running pretty "wet" to begin with, so I'd address that and get it skimming a bit "drier". What additives have you...
The OP didn't say what he's keeping...besides, I MUCH prefer the 48" x 24" x ? series of "100's" to the 72", and it all has to do with what I...
I'd give it to her as well. However, what you need to ask yourself is "Is the 5 gal diff between the RSM and the BC worth buying a new tank?"...to...
Nice job Matt! Expect to see the LL crew in Miami for the 2013 conference.
FWIW, true seagrasses require lots of light and at least a 4" substrate to have any chance of doing well. If you don't want to go to that extent,...
Unless you have crushed coral, leave it be. Even in a shallow sandbed, there can be compounds best left out of the water column. If you do have CC,...
Are you getting any froth at all in the water in the skimmer body? Did you clean your impeller? Is the skimmer sitting at the same depth as it was...
What are the dimensions of your tank? (L x W x H) It's likely going to be too small for most triggers, esp. more than one, and is on the hairy edge...
I honestly don't think 1/2" is too thin for a 48" setup...it's perfect IMHO/IME. In fact, We have a std 55 gal that is bowed a bit (it's 22 years...
88*F is a bit excessive...we run our tropical lionfish setups at least 11*F cooler. Excessively warm temps shorten a fish's lifespan significantly.
I did...picked it up last PM, and will be playing some co-op with one of my brothers tonight.
FWIW the photo you have listed on your site as "dwarf lionfish (Dendrochirus zebra)" is actually a Mombasa lionfish (Pterois mombassae), which is a...
