Saltwater is a completely different animal to FW. Depending on what your stocking list, the maintenance can be as simple as water changes to out right owning your social life and ruining your marriage (I've seen it happen!). I've spent countless months killing aptasia and glass anemones, but...

Wow... that's crazy looking and scary at the same time. I wonder if there's any difference in coloration when it's unstable?

Make yourself or purchase an egg tumbler. It resembles a UGF.

Be careful when shopping for BH media. There's been a lot of fake stuff flying around. There is one good method that I've found on how to regenerate any old porous media (rock, ceramic, or sintered glass type) that has clogged over the time of usage. Every year or so, I take half the media...

No need to install check valves, they often fail (even George Fisher ones) and are a nuisance to clean or service which you have to do every few months. Just drill a small hole around 1/4" on the bottom or side of the linelock output at the Y splitters. This will act as your siphon break once...

plecosGTA, sent you a PM. Please check and get back to me.

Will you deliver within the GTA area or can I pick-up somewhere in the Mississauga area? I go through about 1000 superworms/month.

I know the timing is a little late, but is this still going on??? :o

I was quite surprised the first time I saw the FF jump into the air. Thought it wasn't natural... almost hit me in the eye! Thinking about getting a new one. Maybe around 8-9" but can't find any around.

Yesterday morning, while I was gonna start my regular routine of feeding the fish, I realized that my 6" FF was stuck to the filter inlet breathing heavily. I get out a stick to move him out, but to my amazement... HE WAS MISSING HIS LEFT EYE!!! Also, a good area of scales behind the gills...

I have 2 NTT, one of who's full necklace split after about 6" They're stable most of the time, but very timmid and like to hide in the corners. Seen a lot of NTT in the GTA lately, even Big Al's has some in Mississauga.

Try your local water recreation/pool store. They should have that stuff readily available. Only other big box store which I've seen it at is Lowes. Canada doesn't have much in terms of PVC. Make sure you don't get CPVC because the thicknesses are different.

Had the same problem with my 13" SR. Old diet consisted of mainly superworm, cricket, and the occassional peice of shrimp. I too wanted to convert him to a mainly shrimp based diet, with the ever so often feeder because my wife doesn't like the idea of crickets (or any type of critter) in...
