I'm really getting tired of my gf's sickly a$$ cat. I like the cat, but don't really care for it sometimes because she's mean to my kids when they come over. For the last month now, the cat had been throwing up it's food, and then she had a really bloody stool, so we took her to the vet. $300...

Good morning...I'm at home bored today and I'm thinking of taking a trip to Reef City out in Frankfort, looking for a blue/purpleish sps coral and maybe some other goodies. Anyone wanna ride/meet with me? Is it worth a drive out there for me? :)

Here's another good article. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120712101545.htm

A good read I stumbled on. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120710150440.htm

I went to animal krackers today to look around and buy my kids a hamster, and saw a small yellow tang in their coral tank picking on a seahorse. I felt so bad for the seahorse, watching the tang constantly pick at him, and the seahorse couldn't do anything but lay on the sand and every once in...

I'm preparing to try my hand at sps's again...and have been doing a lil research on dosing. The two products that I've narrowed it down to is c-balance 2-part and seachem fusion 2-part. Which of the two would be the better choice, because I'm leaning more towards the reef fusion. Thanks for your...

Does anyone know of a local, affordable place where I can get my car windows replaced. My mother had been keeping my car, since I haven't been able to drive, and this morning she called me to tell me that two of the passenger windows have been busted out. While she was making the police report...

I just went to my thread (possible upgrade?) to respond to Ericthered response, and couldn't post anything, then I saw that it was closed. Any one knows why that happened?

Hello everyone, just asking everyone opinion on a possible upgrade..on my other forum, another member wants to downgrade to a smaller cube from his 75 gal bow front tank, because he's in the military and when he moves again, he'd rather move the smaller tank. We talked last night, and I told him...

My job finally authorized my second, and hopefully last, back surgery...and it's scheduled for May 21st. What sucks about the situation is that he wants me bed bound for 2-4 weeks, now who here thinks they could go that long without playing in their tank or even water changes. My gf said she'll...

I stumbled onto this article regarding sea cucumbers and coral reefs. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/12/111222152018.htm

Hello everyone, I need a little assistance...for the past two weeks, I've been pulling this unknown algae out my tank daily, it grows fast, and grows thick. It's individual stalks have fern/palm like leaves. It seems to be popping up more and more, and now around/within my corals. Aquatica told...

Since I've been keeping sps's, I'm wondering if it would be safe to start using interceptor in my system...especially since I haven't dipped none of them. I know it kills red bugs, nudibranch's, flatworms, etc., but will it also kill my other inverts such as stars, shrimp, pods, snails, or...

Hello everyone, I need a lil help making a decision...I have a 1.5 in long polyp leather about a few inches from my sps corals, and was wondering if I should move him or just get rid of him? The only reason why I wouldn't want to get rid of him is because he's the only coral from my old 55 gal...

Hey ladies and gents...I've been doing a lot of research on led lighting and decided to get a led fixture. My main reason is because of the heat scare(90* and more temp) I had last summer, which killed many of my corals. So if anyone has any suggestions, other than me building it myself(no...

I have a question...when I do my water changes, my sps corals are out of the water during that 5-7 min time frame because they're all the way at the top...my question is, Is that safe to do so, especially on a weekly basis? I'm not concerned with lps's or softies being out of the water, but I've...

Why using tap water is a bad idea Almost every newcomer to the hobby asks the same question…Can I not just use tap water in my tank?...The anwer to this is a resounding unequivacal NO! This article will hopefully tell you why using tap water can lead to disaster in a marine tank. Natural sea...

I found this lil' bugger in my tank the other day, and did some research, and found them to be "not" reef safe...so I had to fish him out. That probably explains why some of my soft corals have been disappearing.

Just saying hello to everyone, my name is Lionel, and i've been into saltwater tanks for 3yrs now. I live in Chicago, but am a police officer in the south suburbs of Chicago, and I own a 29gal reef. :)
