Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / March 2005

We bought 10 turbo snails and 12 blue legged hermits to help keep our
tank clean.  We were having a problem with brown algae.  Well I woke up
yesterday, and not one spot of algae left.  Buggers must have been busy
that night.  Now I am concerned that they may not have enough to eat.

My tank is sized at 6' by 2' by 3.5'. It is made out of 15 mm glass not
toughened. Been there about 10 months now and looks absolutely great!
However, an expert of sorts came by and said this height needs a thicker
glass else I run a huge risk of the tank exploding one day and ...

of the picture.  Can't do a big tank yet so I compromised to a 24gal JBJ

hi.  I was wondering if someone could help me out.
I want to eventually put some soft corals in my tank, maybe even an
anemone with some acompanying clowns.  I don't want to go crazy and
overstock with coral, I just want to give my 29G some color.  I know

I knew better! I swore I wouldn't do it! I read all the horror stories. But

first fish in the new tank. WRONG!!!!! Bad bad bad!!!!
Little bastards torture anything their size or smaller. My friend bought me

Hi all.  This is really a different kind of question that you guys and gals are
probably used to seeing.  I've seen a lot about the benefits of live sand in
marine aquaria, and of course, have live sand in my tank and in my refugium. My
question is what is the feasibility of ...

Do any of you think it would be possible to use tiny glass beads 1-2mm
in the substrate?  They would be inert, wouldn't they?
Thanks,

I am going to fabricate a new tank for my black grouper.
I was thinking if I split a 4x8 into two halves, it will make the
sides. Split another for the bottom and small sides.
I am going to drill it, then have it tempered.
