However, if I don't get a buyer within...

    What are these anyway?

    So I was at the fish store today, taking some pics, and I saw these pretty little guys. But there was no tag, and I never did remember to ask what they were. Anyone know what they are called? Oh, and they are not that little. The bigger pink one was like a good three inches across. I'm...

    Eggcrate the best solution?

    So I'm deciding on fish for my tank, and I'm realizing that the fish I like seem to have the common trend of being jumpers. I don't want to have a glass lid on top of the tank, and I was wondering if putting eggcrate on top was the best way to keep the fish in the tank without blocking the...

    rckmtl's 75 gal

    Allrighty. So new tank=new thread. What happened to the old tanks? Couple of things. One, moved to a new apartment where having four tanks setup really wasn't a possiblity. Two, a 20gal saltwater was nice and all...but the main reason I set it up was to see if I could keep a small tank stable...

    Garabaldi Photos

    So I was at the store and I saw the one of these guy. this was the first itme I have seen one young enough to still have the blue spots, so I had to take some pics.

    Feeling Sexy

    So, before I moved, I was heading to work, glanced in my tank and went 'Why is all the Caulpurea bright orange'? A closer look made me realize that it was going sexual! My first thought was 'I've got to get a picture!' So I did. My second thought was 'Why do I have to go to work today' But It...

    Bacteria question

    Ok, so I've always kinda wondered this- If almost everything that goes in a fish tank needs to be carefully acclimated to things like temp. salin. and overall water quality....How come you can just dump in bacteria starters(like cycle/stablity/stress zyme/ect..) into fresh -or- saltwater without...

    Hey! I'm smart! What about you?

    Allright first I have to say that I am smart. I was setting up my tank in my new apt and -this- time I left enough room that I can get behind it. I don't know why I didn't think of that the first time. I was allways needing to clean or reach something I couldn't get at... I was just going to...

    Glass and scratches

    So, moving into a new apt that's smaller means I have to condense my tanks. I had a 20 setup as a display and a 40 as a prop. tank. Now I'm just using the 40 as the display and putting the 20 in storage. Only problem is that I never thought I would use the 40 as a display, so when I bought it...

    Nifty little snail

    So I found this snail on a rock while cleaning the tank. I mostly think it is nifty cuz I've never seen one before. From pics on a recent post, I think it looks like a stomatella(sp?). But all the pics I've seen of those, the snails have been a pale sandy color. I like this one cuz of the neat...

    rckmtl's new-ish 20gal

    So this is not really a new tank, but I've changed so much stuff around over the last month that I figured I'd start the thread over as well. While i had been getting a litttle unhappy with the tank's layout, the biggest catalyst to the change was an invasion of Apista's. I had hundred's and...
