Saltwater tanks around Central Ohio?

When I tell people I've recently gotten into saltwater aquaria (after having been out of the hobby for 20 years), they almost invariably will say, "Oh, those are so cool! Didn't there used to be a...

Sk8r, are rabbitfish spines sharp enough to puncture typical over-elbow gloves?! Yikes.

Didn't know that about the rabbits and the shrimp. My foxface has co-existed peacefully with a cleaner for a few months now, but the shrimp is quite large and was in the tank first. I wonder if it...

I'm interested in what might be "normal" in terms of this slight algae film. Like Reefdiver72, I clean the glass off on three sides about every other day, or every third day. I suspect that others...

You know, I'm beginning to think that ordering fish from virtually any online source is a bit of a gamble. I've ordered twice from liveaquaria.com, which is what most people would say is just about...

Anybody ever try mixing rabbits (in a non-huge tank)?

I have a 52" long, 115-gallon tank, that currently includes a medium-sized (maybe 4 1/2" or so) one-spot foxface. I know that adding another unimaculatus or a magnifica would be a bad idea, but what...

I am becoming more and more convinced. The pics of the bellus are also very nice. Anybody ever try mixing species (e.g., a lamarcki with a pair of melanospilos, a bellus with a watanabe, etc.)?

Is that true of caulerpa and other sorts of macro algae as well, that a gentle roll is best?

From most pictures I've seen of the Genicathus species, most of them tend to be a bit on the plain side for my tastes, in terms of their coloration. I've only seen watanabeis in person, and although...

Tagging along here to see what suggestions people have for you, and for noise reduction in general. My main issue is some gurgling noise from my durso/drain line going down to my sump in my basement.

Great call on nixing the metallic grate/egg crate. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Anti-jumper mesh "lid"?
