    Quarantine Tanks

    For those of you who have or have had a QT tank, I'm interested in some feedback. I'll soon be transferring the rock and livestock from my 15-gallon nano to my new 80-gallon display and and trying to decide if I want to use the nano as a quarantine tank.

    Snail ID please

    This guy came on the live rock when I started my tank over a year ago. He has grown from 1/4" to over an inch. He hasn't seemed to harm anything as of yet. Looking for an id if somebody cares to hazard a guess.

    Copingsaw's 15G ADA TBS

    I'm sure I'm not the only one here who lost a tank thanks to Ike. I had a 3-year old 20-gallon tank that crashed on day two of 15-days without power. I was able to keep my freshwater tank alive during the entire outage without losing a single fish. The loss of my clowns and corals was enough to...

    I'm curious to find out what people's opinions are on the role evaporation plays in acheiving water changes. I have a couple of small tanks and I have religiously done 20% water changes every other week. I don't have a skimmer on my 12-gallon nanocube so I have been especially careful to...
