This is the only site I've dealt with online. I can't vouch for any others. My LFS's aren't that bad here in town, but they don't get anything really exotic. I highly recommend the LiveRock from J&L. It arrived better than the cured stuff at my LFS.

Have a positive remark on this company. I ordered my cube and it had a bad ballast. Called JBJ after the place I ordered the cube from said I needed to go through JBJ to get the warranty. While I did play some phone tag, they sent a new ballast and two new PC bulbs incase they were...

I forgot to mention If you do order from the States, your credit card company gives you the lowest possible exchange rate, you are dinged with GST at the border, and UPS or FED EX will charge you ~10% "brokerage fee"for doing the paperwork at customs. Contact Customs before you order to...

Hey, I deal with J&L aquatics out of Vancouver. http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/stor ... inpage.php Great service and prices. I've heard they are one of the best suppliers on the continent. Don't order from the US for livestock. Many times a delay at customs will happen and you'll...

Thanks for the advice. I am getting a bit nervous as My tank reaches 80+ degrees even when the outside temp is <70. Unless I run the AC all summer at 70 or less this might be a problem. I should look into a solution for the temp issue. Does anyone have experience swapping out the stock...

Ive got a very curious cat who likes to sit on the hood when I'm not home. The tight seal is the only thing that keeps his paws out of the tank. It's nice and warm I guess. I am using the stock pump and have ordered an extra Maxi-jet 1200 which will be arriving in the next few days. I hear...

I have a tempereature question for my 24G cube. With the lights on for about 10 hours, the temp settles at approx 80.5. My heater is set to 77, so it drops gradually to 77 over the next few hours. I know fluctuations are a bad thing, so should I keep my heater set to 80? I know 80 is a...

Yeah my tank is still cycling. The green stuff is quite hard. Doesn't green corraline need light to grow? I shouldn't be worried though, right? This particular rock is a little stinky. Smells different than my other rocks. There probably is a lot of die off.

This Green stuff is growing on the underside of one (and only one) of my rocks. No light reaches this stuff. What is it? thanks http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i59/idog3344/Picture056.jpg

Well, I've been reading lots on this forum as well as getting some great help from the membership. Many posts speak of getting a tank, starting a cycle with LS and LS and very quikly seeing all sorts of life popping up in their tanks. My tank has been cycling since april 17, and I have yet...

I am using the Coralife swing arm style hydrometer. My Gravity is now around 1.026 so I probably shouldn't worry right? My Nitrates are still off the chart though. I will do another big water change either tonight or tomorrow.

So I did a 25% water change. My Nitrates were off the chart so i figured it was time. I scrubbed all my rock. That bluish coating was like a slime on the rock that came off as soon as the rock moved. I scraped off so much crap from my rocks it was staggering. I even found a dead clam in...

whoops, Just saw that you were in Texas, so I guess the temp is going the other way. Your prob is keeping it cool. Mine is keeping it warm. My bad.

You keep your thermostat in your apartment at 75 degrees! Are you some sort of reptile? :lol: My thermostat in my house is 68-69, and I need to use the heater to bring the temp up to 79 in my 24G NC. It's always within .5 degrees of where it's set on my heater Turn down the heat and...

Here is a real NOOB question, but one I haven't seen talked about in the books. My tank is still cycling right now so I am keeping it dark. It is in my livingroom which has Souteast exposure so if I move the tank by the window, It would get about an hour or two of natural sunlight in the...

I used live sand and threw in a piece of shrimp to get the cycle started and the amonia spike. It probably is something dying on the rock it looks almost like mould. Doing a water change tomorrow and will scrape off. It seems to be spreading a bit

Hello, I have my tank cycling with about 25 lbs of Live rock right now. It was cycling with sand for a week then I added the rock about three days ago. I have noticed that the red corraline has turned black which I understand is normal, however there is a bluish-white translucent sort of...

The 2006 Nanocube comes stock with a 290 GPH pump. This is supposed to be sufficient for the cubes of this size. 10 GPH at least per gallon is my understanding.

Oh, I found the Serial # on the back, needed a mirror and a flashlight to see it. Does anyone know the actual capacity of one of these cubes? I filled it completely with less than 4, 5 gallon RO watter jugs. Kinda pissed cause I lugged 6 of these bloody things upstairs.
