aquaDRAMA Updated

I really need to post more about my fish tank. It is one of my core hobbies and I spend more time thinking about it than I do writing. There is so much to share about how I have managed to make this thing work.

The most recent change is that I gave away [...]

aquaDRAMA Modifications & Update

I am trying to harder to make quick updates to the blog. If only I had this magical thing that took my ideas and transcribed them. In that vein here is a little update on what I have done to aquaDRAMA lately that changed me home for the better.

I bought acoustic foam and [...]

Water Change Mania

aquaDRAMA was suffering from a lot of algae growth as a result of overfeeding I would imagine. That always seems to be the case, how to balance the needs of the hungry fish with the closed system.

This post if an take of KISS and how much work a tank  can be.

When I [...]

Maintenance

My normal maintenance activities:

change about 5 gallons of salt water every 5 days, this is done by keeping the main pump running, siphoning out the water and pouring back in pH, temp and salinity adjusted replacement water. “Top off” water is regulated into the sump by a float switch connected to a small [...]

aquaDRAMA – The Killing Fields

7976|50I returned from my trip to LA to find aquaDRAMA in a state of craziness! Three fish are missing, I suspect this is what transpired:

The angler was occasionally stalking my goby. Well, goby is no where to be found and angler is very fat and happy! Bette, my Longfin Fairy Wrasse, is MIA. She has [...]

Global Update

So it has been a long time since I wrote regularly on this thing. I have no singular excuse, but a combination of a few. I thought it was about time to just post a general update to what has been going on in the last 4-5 months. A quick list:

  • I sold my first home and bought a new one. Still in Hoboken, but much nicer. Once it is all together I will post photos and more information. It is a green building, with a LEED certification. The process of selling, moving, and resetting up your home is a grueling and I will not be doing this again. The fish tank alone was 2.5 days of work and I lost more than a few of the poor little guys. » Continue reading Global Update

aquaDRAMA update

I have not posted on aquaDRAMA in a long time! Here are some of the things that have changes over the last couple months: Some kind of strange slime as growing on the back of the tank, and when I tried to remove it there was a serious decline in oxygen levels in the tank. This [...]

Attack of The Pyramid Snails

I have 2 clams in my tank, don’t ask me to get into detailed binomial nomenclature, one is blue and one is gold. The gold one hasnt been doing so well lately and I wondered what might be causing it stress. 4 days ago I picked it up and many little white snails fell [...]

Tamaria Starfish

Recently I added a Tamaria starfish to my tank and it seems to have suffered a bit of acclimation stress, from which it seems to be healing. It is very active often crossing the tank and back in a few minutes until it seems to find something it likes to eat. It has many [...]
