So I went for a vacation for a week did a water change and made sure my water was all topped up in my reef tank . A friend of the family was taking care of our cats and keeping an eye on everything . I gave him a list of things to do and watch out for on my tank and my cell number if any problems I text him almost everyday how things were to make sure protein skimmer did not over flow . So I came home tonight everything in my tank was dead the water was gross grey . He said that the skimmer over flowed and leaked onto the power bar . And shorted out no text to me on what to do . No call I asked him today how things were and he said fine . What should I do now . sue him . Can I claim this on insurance ? Any ideas I'm lost for words

wow verry nice looking setup

few pics

well after many years of fresh water i did the switch to a 70g reef , i tell you it was worth it i love the coloring of the fish and all the deffrent life growing in the tank , i will add some pics soon

wow that vampire tetra has some huge chompers on it

i have been wondering if anyone has ever seen these guys forsale i would like to do a small tank with a few of them there not verry big fish but coloring looks amazing and from what i have read about them there not to hard to care for http://www.seriouslyfish.com/profile.php?genus=Stiphodon&species=percnopterygionus&id=1370 here is an artical i have found about them

i have 2 fx5 and a xp4 running on my 175 i was wondering if would be ok to remove the sponges from the xp4 and just runn all bio balls ceramic rings and what not . otherwise a strait mechanical filter would that be ok to do ??

Herald will u be around monday I would like to get couple green phantoms finaly able to make it down to calgary

For unseen problems i am having troubles with my tropheus tank and i am considering switching it over to a salt tank , it is not drilled for over flows. I have no way of getting it drilled noe do i wanna move it , I am wondering if using my two fx5 filters will work and If purchasing an internal skimmer will work ? I want corals and what not i will be getting a metal hylide light , for the tank wich is 175g , any imput will be greatly appreciated

when i lose a fish i just take it as an excuse to go get a new fish , havent been to a store in a long time, sucks u lost a nice fish but is all part of the hobby they dont live forever . atleast is a fish and nothing to get attached to like a dog or cat . that would be hard

is everything still a go with the nasty snow coming in ????

just a curious question who owns this site . or the main admin . just curious. would like to say love the site

not realy and they dont monitor it . people are old enough to have respect for each other . the chat they have now is a second party on that would not put strain on this site.

goes for me to i would donate

just wondering why there is no chatroom in this forum would be cool to get to know people and chat with them . and discus fish stuff or other things

i usualy test once every couple months just to be safe

welcome doug

to bring a fish back dont u need some sort of import license and a big headache for one fishie

riverfront had a good selection of shrimp not sure what they were going for
