It’s that time again for a new magazine issue. The May 2009 Fish Lore Aquarium Magazine is now online. Check it out. There are a couple member spotlights (thanks NavyScuba and Gremlin), an article on shell dweller cichlids (thanks Fish Addict), an article on Algae Control, another on the Purple Tang and one on the Birdsnest Coral. (more…)
Anyone that has had an aquarium set up for any amount of time can tell you about algae. Aquarium algae control is a popular topic on forums too. So with that in mind I decided to write up something that would be helpful to aquarium newbies for controlling algae in their aquariums. The article is kinda long but hopefully it touches on the many possible causes and sources of algae problems in your tank. I was also kinda selfish in that I plan on linking to it when someone has an algae problem on the forum. (more…)
The Purple Tang is quite popular among saltwater fish hobbyists with larger tanks and they are expensive! Ranging in price anywhere from $100 – $150 and that is online. Locally you can expect to pay more. The scientific name for them is Zebrasoma xanthurus and they are collected in the Red Sea, the West Indian Ocean and a few other locales. Like other tangs, the Purple Tang needs lots of swimming space, proper tank mates, slow acclimation and the proper diet for adequate long term care.
Just uploaded the April 2009 Fish Lore Aquarium Magazine. Thanks to Platy Ben and Amanda for the articles and Au01st and Nick Goody for the member spotlights. (more…)
I just added a new aquarium book review to the site. The book is “Giant Clams in the Sea and Aquarium” written by James Fatherree. If you currently have Tridacnid clams or plan on purchasing them in the future then this book is for you. It provides in depth information on every species of the giant clams. (more…)
The March 2009 issue of the Fish Lore Aquarium Magazine has been uploaded for you to read. This was a pretty big issue this month. We had Fish Lore Member Spotlights on Choffman, Red1313, MeGustaUnaPez and SteveAngela. A big thank you goes out to PFP and Tom with the freshwater fish profiles this month. Also included are a couple of coral profiles and info on protein skimmers. If reading about aquariums and fish is what you like, check out the magazine. (more…)
The February 2009 Fish Lore Aquarium Magazine is now uploaded. Special thanks to Alessa, CapeKate and PFP for writing articles this month and to Matt and Shaina for the member spotlights! It was another fun issue to put together and hopefully you will find it a fun read.
Here are the links to the articles:
This is regarding a review on the Ocotopus HB 800s Hang On protein skimmer. I am always interested in reading about the latest and greatest when it comes to aquarium equipment, especiall protein skimmers. I feel that protein skimmers (for saltwater tanks) are one of the most important tools we can use other than regular partial water changes to keep the aquarium water at optimum levels.
Whenever I come across a post or article on a new skimmer I always read it with interest, hoping to find the next great skimmer. I had been hearing repeatedly how good the Octopus line of skimmers perform and was very interested in checking one of them out. I was also interested in picking up a deltec 600 but couldn’t find one online or locally for a decent price. Those deltecs are expensive! Too expensive if you ask me…
