So I have been gone from these parts for awhile as life got in the way of me keeping my tanks going. Just wanted to know if its ok to post some for sale items in the livestock section. Didn't want to come in here and do the splash and dash. Basically my pairs of clowns and a pair of Bangaii...

So if my electric blue crab was a snail killer, what would kick his azzzzz? he was dead on a rock out of the shell.

Dagnabit... Mr. Blue done killed my last turbo. I may have to get rid of his ***... This will be the last electric blue hermit I will ever buy.. why did you guys not warn me... I need to speak to the manager...

I have a willow tree that needs to come down. its about 30x30. Any recommendations or referrals on a service? Elgin area. I have 2 estimates scheduled but one guy seems like a tool. Thanks much!

I'm going with ATI bulbs for my 75g tank. mixed reef. Whats a good bulb combo? 3 Blue+----2 Purple+ ---- 1 CoralPlus, Maybe a Aquablue instead of the coralplus? I guess I'm trying to reach maybe 20K on the lighting.

You know I really haven't had the luck in keeping ricordias. Alot of wasted money and always the same result so I stopped buying. With my new system I plan to make it happen once and for all and would like some help if anyone can pass along some do's and don'ts. Thanks!

Well I needed a new tank project and a couple fish needed a new place to hang.... So I am putting together a 40B tank to house a pair of Bangaii's and my Snowflake pair. Plus will be creating a mini reef to grow out some corals since my 75 is basically a fish habitat. I rebuilt my fish room and...

Yes these are the non-dimmable type. Can I assume these will wire up as the D version except for the dimmer control? Its 12 LEDs on a string and I have 2 strings, 2 drivers. I'm eliminating the chinese drivers and just going with the mean wells. Hey for $24 ea from Jameco, can't beat it.. thanks!

I'm looking to put something on the back of my new tank and want something that really brings out the tank. Any ideas where to find some? Don't want cheesy but something that will blend in... I'm doing a 40b and just getting things going.

Looking for recommendations on bird sellers in the western suburbs area. Cockatiels are what we are looking for and hand fed young ones. Thanks for any info!

So I bought one of these a few weeks ago. Maybe 2" in size and was pretty much on the move all the time. Yesterday it was on the front glass with a chunk missing on one of its arms. Today it be dead on the sand bed. I have a pair of black o's, a royal gramma, 2 bangaii, a small 6 lined wrasse, 2...

I actually have some high numbers in my on going quest. My black O's put out a great effort this hatch.. I'm counting around 350-400... picture doesn't show them all... minimum die off as I have to use a snagger to get them out of the tank.

whats the best place to put a hole on a 40B? And best size as well. I can do a 1" drain with the hole saw I have but was thinking maybe a 1 1/4" drain. any thoughts?

I'm not hoping for the best, yes I am, my male Bangaii has been holding eggs for 8 days now. Its gonna be a long wait and see if he keeps them. I made myself a fake urchin so I think thats what got them going. Anybody think I can pimp out the female to my other 2 full grown males and get them to...
