They are great fish, but are best kept in a species tank. They are notorious for eating fish bigger than themselves which can lead to their death. I have had mine for a year in a eclipse six gallon. I plan to move him to a ten gallon later this year. He wont eat frozen despite all my...

The ceiling hangers only support 8 lbs. Im in on campus apartments and I dont want to loose my deposit if that cant support it. The ballast is included in that pendant, but its off to one side and its way to heavy to hang. Im over it. Its ugly but the tank will just have to be prettier to...

Yeah I took the bio wheels out, althought they never caused a problem on my 75 when I had the emperor on that. But that had about 120 lbs of liverock in it so... The halides wont be a problem, I plan on keeping mostly light loving species of coral, things from my 75 that are in the top few...

Let me know what you think! I love to hear your comments and criticisms. Right now the tank has had water in it for over a week. the filter cartridges are from my reef tank and the rock was already cured and had been in my reef and my frogfish tank for over two years. I used about 3 gallons...

I added some live rock. The aquascaping isnt quite finished yet, and I plan on adding a lot more rock, but for now it will have to do. I couldnt find a decently priced heater in town so I rigged my waterproof heating pad to sit inbetween the tank and the cinder blocks to provide heat when the...

Well it turns out I cant find a good way to hang my lights; the whole thing is not evenly ballanced, one side is way heavier than the other. Also I couldnt find anything in the celing to support it. (I didnt have a stud finder or anything, and I dont know which way the floorboards of the floor...

Filled it with distilled water from my schools chemistry lab and Instant Ocean. Added Aragalive aragonite reef sand (coarse grain, more like cc). I only added about a half inch, just enough to cover the bottom. I like the bare bottom theory, but I dont like the look.

well I posted this on reef central, but I thought I would share this here as well. Hello Everyone! I have been into reefing for the past few years. I recently moved away from home (about 2 hours away) to go to college. I miss my tank so much, I decided to start a nano for my desk. I have a very...

Its sometimes called an angler fish. Marine center usually has them...

probably some sort of apogon cardinal. lots of species in the genus that all look alike. search on that. It may be full grown and likes to school. Very big in Japan. they use them in small tanks as the only fish.. They school really well.

Yep it is a helfrichi. Im in the process right now of trying to get my frog to turn red. Im documenting the process. He is pinkening a little, so I have hope that he'll change. I repalced all his natural decor and added red background, substrate and plants.

Skysdale, where in central wa are you? I go to CWU and am helping convert a 300 gallon tank in the science building over to a reef. We just put in 450lbs of live rock on friday. I dont know any other reefers in this area and it would be great to meet up with someone else.

They are awesome fish to be sure. I bought one two weeks ago. It was eating frozen in the store and it was tiny. Only about 1.5 inches. So far he is very active and eating well. I wanted to buy two, but the other one wasnt interested in frozen food at all so I passed on him. I was sort of...

In a pinch, aluminum foil can be used as a reflector until anopther can be aquired.

They arent the best pictures becaus they are taken with a kodak 2 mp through a magnifying glass. Thats why the edges blur. Here is another one.
