    Black Spots on Clown Fish

    I've had the same two percs in my aquarium for over 4 years now without any problems. Last week I noticed the smaller of the two had a couple of black spots on it's left side. He wasn't acting any differently than normal, but I've kept my eye on him. Then on Saturday morning my wife told me that...

    Mushroom Removal Question

    It's been over a year since I've been on this site, and my tank has really been doing well. I had a bunch of zoos, purple, and orange shrooms. Over the past year the purple mushrooms have grown exponentially and have overgrown the zoos and are starting to overtake the orange shrooms. What is the...

    Back to the same old question...

    Now I moved just over a month ago, and so did my tank, but the sand stayed at the old place. So my little 15 gallon nano is bare bottom. Recently I've noticed Cyano, but it's in a wired place, it's on my pumps and that's it. Why would this be. The last time I had this problem the cyano was...

    My bottom is bare!

    I just moved, again, seems like every year I'm moving. This is the last time for a while I swear, cuz taking down and setting up my 15 gal was a PTA(I feel sorry for those of you who have bigger tanks, really I do). Got it all done in one day, and ditched the sand. I'm going bare bottom. Just...

    Zoo Trip. Yay!

    I was at the zoo a couple of weeks ago, and was lucky enough to catch one of those rare, but perfect Minnesota days. These are just some of the pics that I took, I have more but it's late and I'm tired. Baboons Merekat Flowers Napoleon Wrasse Leopard Shark...

    hi...

    ****! I don't even know why I'm posting this. I've been having Crazy thoughts over past couple of weeks. I look at my aquarium and can't seem to find the enjoyment in it that I once had. My Girlfriend has been doing all the cleaning and feedings. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe it's...

    Weird behavior

    I've noticed that my clowns have taken to "sleeping" on the sand in the corner of my tank? Is this normal? Just curious, they look healthy, but it just seems weird that they would just start doing this now after having them for a while.

    Clam question

    Are the Scuasomosa (that's the correct spelling, right?) the ones that can thrive under lower light conditions? What I mean by that is could I keep one uner 96watt PC, or would that be undoable. These clams are less vibrant in color, but I just saw one on Sharky's web site, and it looked really...

    HOB Overflow opinions wanted!

    Ok, as some of you may know, I'm in the market for a HOB overflow for my nano. I was looking at getting the CPR CS50, with the Aqualifter pump. That's just one idea. Now I know some of you use the CPR overflows without problems. There's also those who swear buy the U-Tube overflows. I don't want...

    EK's Nano.

    Hey it's been a while since I've posted anything about my tank. I had a 12 gallon eclipse heavily modified as my first nano reef, actually my first reef tank. It was up and running for over a year, and in that time it had seen cyano, temp crash (killed several corals), loss of several fish, good...

    New Tank

    Just thought I'd just give an update. I got a new tank, it's a 15 gallon, the 12 is on it's way to be the sump, just need to get an overflow, and baffles. The new tank is a lot bigger than the 12, or at least appears that way. Also got another clown, the original one already laid out the law of...

    Temp Crash!!!!!!!

    So I woke up this morning to a delightful little treat. Seems sometime during the middle of the night my heater decided it had had enough, and quit working. The temp in the tank was at about 72 deg, and my Ocellaris was swimming on it's side gasping, my Royal gramma was nowhere to be seen. All...

    Where do I put carbon

    So I was wondering where people put their bags of activated carbon? I would think you would want it in a high flow area of the sump. or is it to be used in a canister filter only. I can't see why the later would be the case. And it's probably not going to do much in the main sump compartment...

    Some Duluth News.

    Just found this intersting. This is my hometown news paper. I found one line particularly humorous. "While a filter, a heater and an air pump may be all that's needed for a freshwater aquarium, a 20-gallon or larger reef aquarium requires a system that includes two holding tanks, two pumps...

    Photography site

    Where are some good sites for learning how to take pics. I'm so frustrated right now, so frustrated I haven't picked up my camera in months, and I've got a whole lot of things I'd like to share. I just can't seem to get pics to turn out right. I use a tripod, no flash blah blah blah. I can't...

    Do you name your fish?

    I did, but then again I have two. My Ocellaris is... can you guess... it's cheasy but fits, and everyone has to have at least one named...... ready for this.... Nemo. My Royal Gramma's name is Dylan. I could see the problem with naming your fish if you had a tank like Mike's.

    overflow

    I am thinking, just thoughts, since I can't do my 30 gal anymore :( . I'm thinking of making a 10 gallon sump for my 12 gallon nano just to get rid of all the ugly equipment and add some stability. If I got the CPR CS50 overflow box, it has a flow rate of 300gph, is there a way to get that...
