    Pederson's Anemone Shrimp question

    All right, I got one of these guys recently. My understanding was that they liked to host in anemones, ricordea, and fuzzy shroom types. Was I wrong? My guy likes to cruise around on the sand in my tank full of shrooms and rics. I'm worried that sometime soon my banggai cardinal will think...

    Amquel Plus?

    Has anyone used Amquel Plus? My wife got some for her freshwater tank at work to do tap water changes, and treat the water. It really starts to stink after a while. She tossed the bottle and bought some more, but the stink came back again. Do you know if this is normal? Any thoughts are...

    Barry's

    Just wanted to say that I had a chance to meet Barry this afternoon at his storefront for clamsdirect. He was giving me a deal on some equipment, and he was a great guy with a lot of knowledge. The clams looked awesome as well :drooool: and I'm sure that I'm going to be seeing more of him once...

    Tank bred flame angels?

    Does anyone know where I can get a tank bred flame angel? I know that liveaquaria had them a while back, but I haven't seen them anywhere else since. The other good place for tank bred fish is inlandaquatics, but they don't seem to have any. Got any ideas?

    http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050310/ap_on_sc/captive_shark_1 I almost forgot that the shark was still up there. Looks like it's having a hard time playing well with others.

    Tarasco's 150

    Well, I've been planning this for a while, and it's starting to finally get off the ground. This 150 was originally going to be the home of a hippo tang that was outgrowing my 90, but unfortunately I lost the fish during a move. However, the wheels were set in motion and I determined that this...

    Tarasco's 90 (revisited)

    Well, I figure that it's time to put up some pics, even if there isn't a whole lot to look at right now. As many of you might remember, I lost almost all my livestock during a tank move on the first of the year. Click HERE for a view of the tank and the residents prior to the wipeout...

    How to level tank on slate floor?

    I got the stand and canopy for my new 150 gallon tank (5 x 2 x 2), and where I want to put it on the floor, the floor consists of slate, 16" x 16", on a diagonal. As those of you with slate floors know, the slate is not always exactly even. So I'm wondering about the best way to even it out...

    Black Onyx Clowns?

    All right, why are these guys so expensive? http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=1854 I realize that they're selling a pair, but I'm don't think that it justifies the price. They seem like regular percs to me. Am I missing something?

    I killed all my fish

    I've been moving down to San Diego from Long Beach over the past week, and saved the tank for last, cuz I knew it was going to take most of the day. I actually got rid of a lot of my corals, and was planning on starting over. Unfortunately, a friend who offered to help was late, and we didn't...

    Opinions on Calcium Reactors

    Continuing on my purchasing of equipment for my 150 tank that is to be SPS dominated, I am now looking at Calcium Reactors. So far, I'm looking at the MyReefCreations.com CR-1, Geo's Reef 612, and the Lil' Johnny from stoneyreef.com . What problems have you experienced or heard about with...

    Opinions on Mag-Drive pumps

    So I'm still in the process of planning my new 150. Since everything has to fit in the stand, I was looking at submersible pumps to save space. I came across the Mag-Drives, and wanted to know people's opinions. I was looking at the 24 or 36 in particular. I wanted a ton of flow. However...
