What thread? Did you type it in invisible ink? :lol:

Ok, so I've slowly begun to grasp the concept of liverock being the central filter for a SW tank. Now I've got a Tetratec PF150 dual media filter (150GPH) and a 145GPH powerhead with canister filter attached in my 20gal nano tank. If the liverock is the central filter, could I do away with the...

I learned the hard way about anemones too. R.I.P. Nemo I :*) Coming Soon (well in a few weeks) Nemo II :hyper:

Thanks for all the help guys, I have removed the anemone, got another 3lbs of live rock (I will add more as I can afford it), added a 145 GPH powerhead with auxilliary carbon filter, added a hermit crab and an emerald crab that I was *assured* would get along with each other and my banded...

Well, when it comes to Saltwater, I am a beginner. We were all beginners once and that's why I came here to get some "Beginner" information from those more experienced in these matters. :angry: IMO Going from FW to SW is like learning to drive on the right hand side of the road. (i see you...

Well the package of livesand came in a bag of saltwater (dunno what cured is) and it said on the package no need to wait, add fish immediately, however me being very cynical decided to cycle for a week anyway. Oh well, I'm gonna 86 the anemone and get some coral. Actually I think I'll wait...

Ok, thanks so much. Now I gotta see if the LFS will let me exchange my $20 anemone. :crazy:

Ok, I was led to believe that if I went with Coral, I would need to buy a protein skimmer (pricey-ouch$$$) because of the large amount of liquid waste they generate. The reason I wanted the anemone was because the clowns cuddle up in them. The shrimp is a banded shrimp (mean lil bugger nipped...

I have 20 lbs live sand, 65W CF 50/50, but I only have 3 rocks. Maybe I should get more rocks. How do you know if the anemone is sick? My plans were 2 false percula clowns, one anemone and 1-2 shrimp.

Ok, so I have set up a 20 gal marine tank, let it cycle for a week, tossed in a shrimp, waited a few days, then got a nemo fish and an anemone. Ok, the shrimp molted a few days later. The darn anemone keeps moving all over the place. Nemo died suddenly, he looked bloated and had his mouth...

Siphoning is the best way to change your water IMO, because it creates a vacum effect in the tank. Java fern is good. "Im thinking of just getting a large enough lava rock to let the fern grow into if i move the rock will the plant be disturbed?" I don't quite know what you mean by this...

Ok, just got a Eclipse 5 hexagonal tank for puffers (YAY) :D :D . I filled it 1/2 full with water from my 20 gal, the other half with purified tap water. I put in an ornament from my 20 gal to get the bacteria. Now this aquarium is 13L X 11W X 15H inches. Now my questions is, should I get 2...

While window shopping/lusting/wishing for aquariums, I noticed something. Have you ever noticed that a lot of the aquarium startup kits (those with aquarium, filter, heater, light hood, etc) especially the smaller sizes 3-20 gallon (like the kind most beginners would get) have nice brightly...

Dyam, that puffer is like 1/4 the size of the snail. :o My roommate had a puffer, and when it got sick, it's tail stayed curled. He has a new one now and it normally swims tail straight unless it's turning. However I did notice that when I do things like open the lid to feed or bump the...

:lol: :lol: Naw, I could never kill a pet, I accidentally stepped on a wild lizard when I was 7 and felt bad for months. A syringe (without needle) is one of the handiest tools for pets that I have ever had. So far, I've used them to... 1. Give medicine to cats. 2. Wash dirt out a a cat's...
