Has anyone ever had problems with bug bites while dealing with your aquarium? I have live plants and notice some small red fleas for lack of a better description jumping around on the surface.

I...

I use RODI water for my reef and wouldn't use anything else because of the corals and the algae. With a fish only tank you can get by on tap water. RODI is better but not required for a fish only...

I live just outside of Lexington, KY where Dustin has the dirt tank.
I actually visited his home and bought some plants and he introduced me to the process. I have since set up a 40 gal. dirt tank...

I have a 50 gal. tall tank which is about 2 x 2 x30" tall. I have 7 angels, all doing fine. Regular water changes and they are doing fine.

When I replaced my gravel, I did my normal water change but went all the way down and sucked out the gravel along with all the grime.

This required three water changes in order to get all the...

I considered the same thing once and could not find a single beach that would allow me to take sand. Several actually stated that they had to bring sand in from time to time depending on local...

One nice thing too is that light from what I can tell is probably worth what you are paying for the set up. It's going to be over kill for a fresh water tank. I would sell it and most likely not...

The more live rock you have the more you are likely to succeed wheather it be a large or small tank.

Do pay attention to the warning lable on the frozen bloodworms. People all over the country, including myself are having serious alergic reactions to the bloodworms.

There is a thread on this...

I have used them for nearly two years now. Never had a problem. I pop them out or break them off and put them in a plastic cup that I in turn toss.

Seems that you can develope a reaction.

Do any of you use the frozen blood worms? If so, you may or may not be aware of the health dangers they pose. I post on another forum and found out yesterday that a number of my health problems are...

I have the fluval fx5 and the Rena 3 with the heaters on my 220 discus tank. I painted my background black so you don't see the heaters. The only thing I don't like about the Rena is their blue...

Different brands will have different ends. Some will have a spray bar some will have various tips to mount on the hose. Check the web to find your make and model and you can order the correct piece....

On the other hand.

There are people who would kill to get a nice piece of driftwood that still leaches out tannins. People with Angels, and especially Discus would like to have your driftwood. ...

I have been lucky enough to have some angels who would spawn about every 7 to 10 days. I always lost the hatch if it was in a tank with other fish. Sometimes other fish would get them sometimes the...

Thank You, I'll check it out.

Are there any:

Discus clubs
Freshwater clubs
saltwater clubs
aquarium clubs in general in the Central Kentucky area?

If not does anyone know how to get one started? I would think there is a...

I would think you would mount them to the canopy.

Once they drop to the bottom of the tank they will start to swim in a day or so after that. Start feeding them then. I feed 5 o6 times a day. Keep their little bellies full at all times. I keep...

Do you have any photos? I always thought it would be nice to have a tank of those.

I went through the same thing. Ended up starting out with a FOWLR.

I found a local forum which was just a small group doing mainly saltwater. Got to know a couple of the guys and very important...

I used a 20 gal. high bare bottom. My angels would spawn every 7 - 10 days. I ended up selling them and actually trading some for additional equipment.
When they first start feeding is when they...

I can't argue with that logic at all. Wish I had thought of it. It's by far the most likely way to give you the best results. Neat thing about a forum is the brain storming.

Good luck,

Just to add another thought about frags. In my area several of us will share frags from each of our tanks. This increases the number and types of corals on each of our reefs.

I keep green star...

Dead plants can bring down your PH to a more acid tank. Some people like that, depending on the fish.
