Tell me about it. I hate that drive too. Glad I don't have to make it. I got the number to get home delivery of Scripps. $0.75 a gallon. unfortunately there is a 100 gallon minimum. So I guess this is probably why there isn't a reef in the location where Scripps collects their water huh...

NO please don't apologize. This is the beginner forum where we come to learn from those who know more then us. Like you and Jesse. The more the better as far as I'm concerned. I had heard that exact half truth about bioballs and removed them from my tank because of it. interesting. So on to...

Thanks Kapenta Kid. seriously though????? No one else has anything to say about this? Give me something like. "Cris don't be an idiot. clean that crap off." Or "it's good for the tank and keeps algae off other places so don't worry about it stupid." I know there are plenty of people in...

but are you supplementing anything at all? And please share details of your 30 second 5 gallon water change. How about a little video of you doing it. I've thought about trying something like that becuase my pump pushs 5 gallons every 25 seconds, but one little slip and it's all over man...

You can't avoid a cycle. You can minimize them as best possible however it's a little ecosystem that you're making and it needs to find it's own natural balance. Even if rock and sand comes from an established tank it has to rebalance itself for the new life that it's supporting. whether it's...

Thank you for that very thorough description. I can honestly say, without without being facetious, that I have a much better understanding of water quality and it's significance. I've seen pictures of your tanks and if that is all you do......... not bad. The one thing that no one has told...

JohnandDawn..... How much water and how often do you change it on your 125?

Spain is definitely west of Poland and the borders definitely do NOT touch. You're probably thinking of Portugal not Poland.

I'm no expert, but I use Kent Marine Nano Reef supplements A & B for my 12. I think they have the whole alphebet. Not sure. My LFS reccomended it.

those are indeed some very impressive ugly fish. something I just learned the other day that I want to share. The electric eel is actually a fish and it's closest relative is the cat fish. They look a lot a like so I thought I'd throw it out for those of you who didn't know.

So are you going to just sell of the coral as they get to big? It's seems like you(at least I would) would want a tank to display what you've grown in a natural state. i agree it does look cool and it's a very interesting project. If I'm ever knowledgable and patient enough to propogate...

Jamie, 1. When did you start the tank? 2. that Ammonia should drop pretty quick and the Nitrites will come up. then they will start to drop and the Nitrates will rise. when your Ammonia reads 0.00 is when you want to do a pretty big water change. otherwise just do as the others have...

Don't apologize..... That's why they created this form. You figured correctly, better informed is just better. however I've learned that some mistakes your just going to have to make before you can really see the significance of it and the impact it will make on the tank. Ask as many...

Hey Jesse, everything looks really cool. Your lighting really brings out the colors. one question for you. 1. Why'd you put the crate in there? Are you just trying to get everything growing before you lay it out? Just curious. 2. is that a clam in your fuge? What kind? 3. I forget...

Those fishes were quite amazing and some were quite freaky. Thanks for sharing.

right now he's probably 5th in line for size. He seems to be more interested in eating then picking on anyone, but I'll keep an eye on him.

I definitely have an algae issue. I'm pretty sure it's because of the water i've been using from my lfs but I was curious about this particular algae. you know how some established tanks have some really cool almost plate like algae on their returns? I want that eventually so I haven't...

well that's a pretty cool name. I'll go with it. I like that a lot better then a white legged hermit. Thanks.

Well that is interesting about the glue not working because of their secretions. If you remember the last time I tried this with the free little piece I got from Coral Oasis it didn't work at all. I'll give the rubber band and the toothpick thing a try again. At least this one has some...

Does anyone know what kind of hermit this is. I bought 15 crabs from the same store and just this one has white stripes on his legs. I've scene blue legged, red legged electric blue but never white legged hermits. Is this just a typical hermit?
