Oh forget I even posted this unless someone wants a really good deal on a good skimmer.. Say $40, costs about $100 brand new. Was bringing it upstairs to take a photo and dropped the collection cup. Its cracked.. easily repairable with goop (a good hard plastic glue) and I can do that, or I think yo...

Used but not very much.. I originally used this skimmer way back when I had a 29 gal set up and it isn't big enough to fit over the lip of my 75, so its been sitting in storage. I really have no use for a smaller saltwater tank anytime soon, and could use some extra cash, so anyone interested? There...

I recently purchased two GSP's. After 3 hours of driving from store to store and being told by all that they no longer carry puffers, I ended up at Walmart.. granted, this particular Walmart actually has healthy looking fish, and someone hand wrote care info and posted it on the tanks. I don't want ...

Site is PG 13 in general.. lots of kids

All done.. actually was done a while ago but I forgot to update the post

Corvus, I haven't checked out Google+ yet, one of these days!

Hello all, I'm going to be uploading some software to our host server tonight. This should NOT affect the live board at all, but we all know how things that *should* work one way often do something unexpected in the world of software ;) If the site goes down, grab your towel and don't panic! I'll ha...

Domain name expired and apparently they aren't staffed on Sundays! Sorry about the downtime!

Here's the same article we had on this site before the library zonked out:

I always found my females were significantly larger than males.. mostly belly, but definitely larger. That was when fully mature though.

Ah my boyfriend loves the dang blue bubble lights. We need to find a quieter air pump is all.

Bubba (turgidus) will not bite me unless I annoy him, such as if I wave a piece of shrimp in his face when he's not hungry. Then he'll swim around the shrimp and very deliberately bite my hand.

Oh, he can't resist nail polish though..

Oh he'll eat snails :) I don't know that I'd go with nerites as they have really hard shells and the puffer can break their teeth on them (same with malaysian trumpet snails). Apple snails, yes, obviously the puffer will bite chunks out of them and torture them to death. Anything you put in there th...

Biggest tank is 60 gallons? No big deal. I play it safe and remove the gravel and as much water as possible and then two people can carry a 75 easily.

If its chilly, consider using a cooler to put the fish in instead of buckets.. but I see you are in California, hehe.

Internal parasite treatment is treated food so that won't hurt the plants, salt and heat might and personally, I may be in the minority here, if there's no sign of ich I wouldn't treat for it. I'd aim for really clean water and the pimafix if you have it. You've already exposed everyone in the tank ...

I would keep the water above 70, they tend to just sit there and not do anything in cold water

Melafix is more of a skin soother for injuries, stress. Pimafix is for fungal issues, they can be used together, and are safe for plants. You probably don't need to do a hospital tank just because of the Pimafix, but it would be more cost effective to treat a smaller tank than a big one, you can do ...
