+1 I had a neighbor who bought me a green chromis for my birthday a couple years ago. He played the part of a survivor for a couple months, but...
It might help to know the species; can you post a photo so we can try to identify? The sad part about this hobby is that there are still way too many...
Just send me the real culprit- the demon-possessed clam, then have a beer and everything will return to normal. :D
Sounds like Brooklynella. That's a fast-reproducing parasite that builds a calcium shell in the gills of fish causing them to suffocate and die. If...
I know what you mean. When a friend told me his ex-wife did the same exact thing to his 300g FOWLR predator tank killing nearly $3k worth of fish,...
Yes, and that would be 29 counts of the crime.
Saints fan 420 would be correct for a mature system, as over time, the sand collects a lot of nutrients and waste. However, I too, have moved several...
Hi, Nice tank, so far. :) The T5's would be enough for most anything; however, you may need another fixture, or build a DIY hood with 2 more bulbs...
Contrary to popular belief, not all nems appreciate strong lighting and current. Each one has its own preferences for both. As long as your...
You're welcome. :) BTW, the best match I could find on species is either Jaspis stellifera (Mound Sponge) or Axinyssa ambrosia (Knot Sponge). Both...
Probably, as it will continue to grow. If that's a removable cover, I'd take it out to remove the sponge. Exposure to air will kill it, so any...
That would be my only guess.
Make sure you wear safety goggles with that thing. If the cutting wheel binds, it will shatter and pieces will fly at an incredible speed.
Probably won't be as cheap as this: Penn Plax Aquarium Tank Stand 10 Gallon at PETCO I used one of these for years for smaller tanks with no...
Oh, man, that really bites. So sorry to hear that...
Nice thread, Trent... beautiful tank, too. Any updates? Should at least have 6 months growth to show off. :D
It's perfectly normal for them to close occasionally. Once a week feeding of 1 or 2 small pieces of meaty food should be plenty.
Wow, that's so cool! Definitely a baby Tridacna. Congratulations! :)
+1 to ^^^ In fact, I recently scrapped a cheaper wooden aquarium stand as it was beginning to bow in the middle, leaving the entire weight of the...
Beautiful tank, Steve! Love the scape and coral selection. Oh BTW, I also grew up on the original Star Trek series. :)
