Re: need assistance with eels


You could get a piece of acrylic cut to fit your tank and just drill some small holes in it for airflow. I'd also pick up some clamps to keep the top secure. Another option is to suspend your metal halide over the tank, that way you don't have to worry about the acrylic melting. I'm just curious ...

need assistance with eels

I just got back from the aquarium store and I'm really interested in getting a snowflake eel, they're part of the moray family. Thing is, I found out they're notorious escape artists and can slip out of tanks pretty easily. I'm looking for some advice on how to eel-proof my tank, basically what I ...

Re: is my lighting enough for plants?

I'd start with adjusting the light duration. Try 10 hours and see if that helps. If not, then look into upgrading the light or adding ferts.

Re: small aquarium setup


Water changes are a breeze on a 10g tank, so I wouldn't stress too much about a sump. I mean, I've got one on my tiny 5.5g and it's overkill, but hey, I like to go all out. As for a skimmer, it's just not practical unless you're working with a pretty big sump. Finding one that's large enough to ...

small aquarium setup

I'm setting up a 10g tank and I'm looking for some advice. Do I still need a sump and a skimmer for a tank this size? If so, what kind would you guys recommend? I've heard mixed reviews on them. Also, how many lbs of coflake would be good for this tank? And what kind of fish should I get? I want to ...

Flow for lps corals

I've got a spot with pretty strong flow and decent lighting. I gave a dragon soul favia a shot there but it didn't take, so I ended up moving it. Anyone have any other LPS suggestions that might do better in that area?

seeking advice on fish care

I've got a 125g saltwater reef tank with a large yellow tang, a medium clown fish, a lawnmower blenny, crabs, snails, and shrimp. My local store has California stingrays and a black and orange batfish, and I've been eyeing them for a while now. I recently lost most of my fish to a disease, but my ...

Re: Dragon soul favia coral

I've had similar issues in the past, too much light tends to cause bleaching. That coltin's dragon soul does look a bit underfed, it should be more puffy than that.
