Enjoyable article done by a research scientist

Today as I worked on our tank I got a tingle from the water. Shocked (sorry could not help that) I started removing electrical items to find the culprit. Strangely enough the only thing I can take out that makes the voltage go away was the ground probe. This is one made onto an electrical plug...

I know this area is not real keen on T5 lighting as it not well supported or discussed around town but Has anyone on the forum tried the new URI T5 actinic? Just curious, I am going to try some anyway

Has anyone here built a tank using wood and fiberglass. Before we left the big easy a LFS had built a very nice lagoon prop tank using a wood frame that was coated with fiber glass. I am wondering how that type of construction compares cost wise with acrylic. Looks like I could build a 6 by 1.5...

As you may know some of us in the Plano North Dallas area are discussing a seahorse tank tour. Realizing this is a small section of the Marine Aquarium world I am curious as to how many people would be interested in going on the tour if it was organized. Right now we have 5 sites listed, and I...

Well we were sitting around talking seahorses with Lee today and it occured to us how many of us in the north east (plano, allen, richardson etc) area are either keeping or raising seahorses. I realize we are a small faction of the larger marine aquarium world but I cannot help but wonder how...

Now that we made the one month mark, I hear that we have two possible obstacles to getting our fry to juvies Getting them on frozen mysis, ( they need to grow a bit) and Hydroids We need panacur but I am not sure how one would go about getting it and where

Anyone here ever culture rotifers I could call real fast. If so PM me I just got a bag of live rotifers in and the instructions and posts I am reading are confusing Thanks

Ok I have a small penquin filter for a 20 gallon tank that I need to route the filtered water (or some of it) into two fish bowls in the tank Any ideas?

I like doing DIY projects but somethings I prefer to just buy The auto topoffs from oceanus systems are sweet http://www.oceanussystems.com/ The senser mount is a little infelxible and requires room that I am quickly finding a commodity in my small sump but other than that I love this thing...

Any of you folks know of an ahdesive that would bond wood to acrylic?

All we need is rock and a little stand work, and we are ready to give birth to our new tank http://www.jonezing.com/component/option,com_gallery2/Itemid,3/?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=281

Man, I dont think it could be said SPS are not doing good in my tank. No sign of tissue loss, growth is slow but happening problem is No matter what SPS I put in my tank the polyps stay out all day to the point they are furry and look like flowy LPS Could this be ozone causing it? what the heck...

Ok so yesterday I learned not to use the seachem white phosban stuff. Today I go to look at the iron based stuff you guys were using on the tour yesterday and find there are choices. What brand do most of your recomend? I am leaning toward rowaphos, but would like suggestions. Also was it just...

I seem to be doing ok with the SPS in the tank and found this piece over at Ramine's It is a Montipora Spunosa (spelling?) cant find out a lot about care and such on the web, anyone seen them?

Ok so we started with a happy coral, two days ago Now the coral is retracted, and the flesh is visible between two heads, there appears to be some sort of blue organism on it and a pineapple sponge growing in the affected area

Ok so I looked at nanocubes, and I looked at aquapods and well. I just cannot imagine using one for sea horses, though I am sure they would work fine. We have our old 40 gallon tall acrylic that was the life boat out of New Orleans for our fish. I have a sunpac PC light fixture for it. I have...

Is it normal for a blue acro to have the polyps extended all the time? I bought a frag at the frag swap, it is turning blue underneath under the polyps but the polyps are so furry I cannot enjoy the blue color? the queen of the new camera is going to try and snap a shot tomorrow and I will post...
