    Do fish traps really work

    I sold my place and the new owners are keeping the built in tank. My worry is that I have a nice Achillies tang (3.5 inches or so) and a captive breed Scribble angel (around the 3.5 inch size as well) in there, and the new owners may not have enough knowledge to keep them for their first tank...

    Do you treat your new coral before putting them in your DT?

    I was just wondering what some of you guys do for adding new lps and sps into your tanks? Do you treat them with anything, and if so what and for how long? I used to add corals into my old display tank and it seemed to work fine years ago. However I ran my new tank empty for 72 days and all...

    For all the reefers on here that said they have never seen a yellow SPS

    When I lived in Canada I used to get frags from this guy, his sps are some of the best I've ever seen and true to color. He also sells nationwide in Canada. Another one of his SPS pictures just won Picture of the Month there, and it happens to be a yellow SPS. I remember a bit back fellow...

    I need a basic 2X4 stand to hold a 190 g tank

    Hi Guys, Like the title says, I was wondering if anyone has or can build a reasonable priced 2X4 stand to hold a tank that is going to be 60 inches long X 27 inches wide. I need to build woodwork around the tank and stand afterwards, so the stand that holds the tank does not have to look...

    Any good Thanksgiving Fish Store sales?

    Hi guys, I was wondering if any of the local fish stores were having Thanks giving weekend sales. I always here about great Black Friday deals, and am in the market for equipment. As well, is there a certain time of the year when the stores are clearing out last year's stock. In Canada we...

    New in Houston, old in the hobby

    Hello everyone, I just moved to Houston about 6 weeks ago, and it's time to start getting my planned tank going. To begin with any helpful hints of things to watch out for due to the Houston climate would be great. Going from there I need a good aquarium builder, as I have a spot that will be...

    Do I need to know anything about water softeners and aquariums?

    Hello everyone, I just moved to the Cinco Ranch area of Katy, and am looking into putting in a water softener. I wanted to know will the added salt in the softener wreak havoc on my water perameters, and any additional advise on the matter would be great as I have never had a whole house water...
