Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Only thing I keep is Inverts. Had a goby once that the LFS gave me. He got it when someone that was collecting shrimp for him had it in the mix. He lasted until I had my ich outbreak a long while back.
When I first set the system up I let it run for 10 min. Its been running for about 3 days now. It goes empty-sed-carbon-ro-di. No idea what I did. I even took it apart, washed all the glass holders, and re flushed for about 20+ min. Still didn't help at all.
Just annoyed that I have this...
So my system is all set up and I seem to have some sort of problem. The water is cloudy for about 10-20 seconds. What could be causing this? Did I install something backwards or is my water just no good. I know my tap water foams up if its not used for a while but does clear up. Could this be...
John at JB can order me pretty much anything fish wise I'm looking for. Just might take him a little while. Also never heard of "Ocean Aquarium". Is it a good LFS?
Thats why his roomates are only the Monster star and hermits. I was also under the impression snowflakes were fish eaters not so much as an invert eater.

To start I have a 135 gal with a 20 gal sump and a 40 gal column tied in(filling with macro(future refugium(kinda)))lol. Pumps are unknown, 2 HOB skimmers(rated 75 gal, 125 gal). 6 bulb 54watt t5HO fixture over the 135 gal. and a 2 bulb 24watt t5HO fixture over the 40 gal. Just started to use...
How would they do with an eel(small)? I made the mistake of letting my little girl pick a friend for her monster choc chip star. I really want a puffer but if it will be a problem with an eel then I'll just leave well enough alone.
The one thing you have to be careful with is the pipefish as they do not stay small. I've seen people catch them at a foot long. Theres also a guy that goes to my lfs that says he has caught a baby butterfly fish once. The only baby anything I have ever caught was a flownder the size of a...
This is the first time I'm going to try and bring a coral back from the brink. Its a Bubble Coral. Picked it up fairly cheap and hoping for the best. Any suggestions or info that might help it make it would be great.
Thanks

I've never had a problem with it. I normally chill the shrimp anyway for the trip back. That probably kills most of the stuff off. The only thing that worried me once was some seaweed or algea I bought home. On closer inspection it looked like it had tons of tiny inch worms.
On another note...
Sea Horses are the one thing I can never find. I know they're around, but I have no idea as to where or how to catch them. The only way I ever caught a Pipefish was it was wrapped up in some seaweed I got snagged in while fishing.
