Hmm..he produces quite a bit of waste. What kind of clean up crew could I use? Will he eat hermits? He's not a true eel...

Hi all, My lighting fixtures are slowly going the way of the dodo, so I'm in the process of upgrading them. I just got a Formosa-DX for my 25gal but need to find legs for it. Is there any benefit to running the JBJ lights or will any straight pin 65w lights work? Also, I saw these T5's on...

Thanks - I just hope I don't regret his purchase. Fiancee is now asking if he'd fit in a 135 with a puffer. I really don't relish the though of a move cross country with all I have now. Last thing I need is a big puffer to worry about! He's doing very well as far as his appetite is concerned...

These are taken with my crummy Olympus C-70. The macro mode is terrible so I tried taking a few through a magnifying glass (the starfish and aipstasia) The rest are my new Green Wolf Eel along with 2 shots of the injury on his tail. I think they're ok, but man, I need a new camera - if anyone...

Awesome pic - just wish I weren't colorblind :(

I'm all excited about some free stuff I've received in the past few weeks 20 gal AGA Green Wolf Eel 135 gal (haven't seen it yet to know if I should get excited) So...buddy was tossing some tanks (he collects snakes) and let me know he had some in his truck if I was interested. Went out and he...

He is a bit of a pig - He was fed only goldfish for about the past month or two so I'm feeding krill only at this point. Have an order of Selcon coming in to soak the krill first. I'm feeding him twice a day and giving him 4 krill each time - have to find out what a good amount to give him is...

Ah..cool. Well this is in a FOWLR...no corals but some mushies on a separate rock. Thanks!

Hi all, Got a few critters on some new LR for my Green Wolf Eel tank. Some cool little brittle stars, nifty sponges and featherdusters and something I think is an apstasia. Anyone confirm? In the lower left is also a clear type of anemone with whitish little nodules at the end of each arm -...

HI all, So went to turn on my lights for Lyle, my lobster this morning and found that I've likely got a blown ballast on my 24" Corallife. Tried another bulb with no luck. Due to severe financial strain at the moment, we won't be able to get a new ballast for about 1or 2 weeks. The question I...

Thanks Vitz. Yeah, the vet didn't give him much of a chance either. He doesn't appear to be in any pain and still swims fine when he is swimming. I'll finish off this round of treatment and see if it is responding. If not I'll have to euthanize :( That said, I know there are great debates...

He's about 4. Finally found our old aquatic vet and showed him some pics (you can see em at http://myweb.cableone.net/dcrowder NOT FOR DIALUP (very large pics) He thinks is not flexi due to how fast the ulceration was growing. I have him on tetracycline right now and that seems to be at least...

Hi all, One of our Bettas has had a white patch on his side for at least 6 months. Before we moved, the patch was about 1/4 the size of a dime, and thinking it was some type of fungus we dosed him with standard treatments which did nothing. As it wasn't spreading or affecting his behavior in...

I have the premade filters that you add the carbon to, from the little envelope. Using a PF300 filter on my 25. I usually will have the standard two filters in place, but only one of those will I use carbon in. Len, I heard that leaving carbon in too long can lead to it leaching phosphates back...

Ok, it looks like I'll finally be getting a bigger tank once we move in December. I need more space for my Bow-Tie damsel (she's only got one eye so she's in her own tank) My plan is to move the damsel and 2 scooter blennies from their 15 to the 25, then move my critters from the 25 into the...
