I don't know if anyone mentioned it but a 75 gallon is much smarter than a 55. It's wider so it gives your fish more room to swim around. It's the same length but the tank is 18 in wide instead of I think it's the 55 is only 15 in. I upgraded my 29 years ago to a 55 and was so disappointed in...

Here is the tank as of 5pm central Can't say enough about the light rack my father built...well I was going to make one myself but showing him my plan made him come up with his own and he kinda took the project away from me. Anyway here is a video of the 13.5 with Chestnut.

No nerites do not produce in salt water. I think that the larva need brackish water to grow and they go back into salt water when they change from larva into baby nerites. I haven't had a lot of luck with narrates the most recent ones that I got the ox tongue nerites have been doing very well in...

So after a lot of work the tank is up and about 95% done. I have to move the corals back and since some mushrooms are on live rocks there is that bonus. I also need to add the bacterial boost and get some copepods for the tank. Oh and the snails, at least the nassarius and some of the nerites...

Well I had a little hiccup yesterday as I don't know where I place my python attachments so I could work it with the kitchen faucet. Thankfully I found something off of Amazon that I could get actually this morning. Best thing was that it actually worked with the faucet, so I was able to finish...

So it's been a while since I updated on the tank shenanigans with the 38 gallon. After doing a 90% water change down to the substrate I refilled it completely with new salt water, ran it for a month and tried a (what I assume to have been well acclimated) molly as a guinea pig to see if there...

Hello, I actually had mascara barbs. They are absolutely gorgeous so active and they need a big tank. I had mine in 120 gallon but then I moved them to 125 gallon and they liked it better because of the extra length. If they weren't so expensive I would have got them again but they're about $20...

Agree, they are tiny fish so that would be a great number for a 6 gallon.

Thanks Tom. Sis and I were super disgusted and frustrated when all the fish died and then after thinking we solved the problem having the rare goby die too. Hopefully they molly I will rest in a couple weeks will be Ok.

The smaller Rasbora like chili would work. Borora merah, or lamp eye rasbora are beautiful too.

Went to the one in Chicago in August. Mainly looking for corals and it did not fail me. Wish I had a smidge more $$ on me. Didn't hold up to the other aquatic expo from a few years back, but worth it for me. Would recommend the 10 am tickets and things were selling fast.

Life has been something lately. I had a scorpion fish in the 38 that mysterious (it was a about the end of his lifespan) disappeared (died) and the next day all the other fish in the tank were gone. Parameters were all great, snails, coral and brittle sea star were and are thriving. Did...

Lights out and mostly covered the tank for a few weeks now. The hair algae is mostly gone. Do have some BBA, but it is manageable.

Sorry it's been a while, life kind of dropped a bomb on me so I had to deal with that. The tank is experiencing a algae explosion. I should have known better than to add the fissidens moss mat that was in the tank prior to me redoing it because it has slowly been bringing back hair algae and...

So the smaller bubble Coral is fighting a bit of algae. I have the leaf fish in the tank, his? name is Chestnut. I just added 3 cherith snails to help with the diatoms and hopefully algae. I had some heaters in my spare parts bin but the two I tried were DOA. I ordered one through saltwater...

Beautiful! The plants are loving it and the angels are huge. The office and patients must love watching the tank.

So the 1 basis and the 5 catfish were delivered. When I get a chance I'll try to get some photos.

So the tank cleared up really nicely and I decided to move the bubble corals over. I'm going to be going and getting the leaf fish shortly. There's a light that's going to be coming today sometime before 10:00 pm but the location has a lot of sun and my prior tank (the 20 L) really enjoyed the...

Cleared up nicely. Forgot that it will also home a single tiger basis. The tiny catfish and the basis will be delivered tomorrow courtesy of Wet Spot.

So I had a six gallon UNS tank setup in my room. Had it setup for some api bettas that I moved downstairs and then I put some tiger shrimp in the tank. They did well but I had placed the baked soil substrate in the tank and its been over 2 years. It has been slowly turning into sludge and I...
