I couldn't pass up on the goby/shrimp pair Michael @ NYaquatic.com was offering so I ordered them (getting on Tuesday). However they are intended for my 24g aquapod which is already home to my much loved skunk cleaner shrimp... I just heard that pistols may kill a cleaner shrimp??? I don't want...

This is what I need: http://cgi.ebay.com/Faucet-adapter-Diverter-Valve-for-RO-DI-system_W0QQitemZ120115036230QQihZ002QQcategoryZ20756QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem When I went to make water (I use this hooked to my kitchen sink to make my RODI since we don't have a sink in the basement and we didn't...

Pun intended... flipping through a recent magazine I came across this ad for dishes: http://www.corelle.com/usr/pages/ads/SLad_lrg.jpg As a reef enthusiast seeing a full page ad of dead SPS corals makes me ill... maybe I'm overreacting but I'm hopeful others feel the same and will voice their...

We'd like to get an idea of how much we're looking at to have our basement finished (nothing fancy, just want a clean decent looking playroom for our daughter & office area for me), I realize we'd save a ton by doing it ourselves but that isn't an option. Our home is 3 yrs old and we have a...

and I have the cheesy youtube video to prove it LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd8avrx7nA0 so... do you play with your tank inhabitants? I always wear gloves in my tank so I didn't even realize the shrimp would do this and found out inadvertently when reaching in for a dropped magnet...

That's my question :D I got a new Dell last December, I've barely used it as it's in the unfinished basement playroom/office (which we pretty much don't go in sadly)... that said my computer is acting terribly down there, I'm guessing I have a virus even though I run norton. I can't locate...

I was browsing threads on RC and saw this one http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1082751&perpage=25&pagenumber=3the tank posted from "slowradio" with the yellow tang and the very bright pink something in the middle caught my attention. I pm'd the guy to ask what type of...

Some where along the road of getting corals & LR from fellow reefers I introduced some mysis in my tanks. Now I've been told and read " Mysid shrimp are very difficult to culture because they are highly cannibalistic " which would make me think that I'd see a few here and there in the tanks...

Here are some photos so you can see what my rockwork looks like, and where I currently have my powerheads (out of site, which is how I'd like them to stay LOL) The tank is an Oceanic 70g RR with the megaflow overflow kit. Rock is mostly from marcorocks.com (so very airy), softies & a couple...

I have some sort of tiny critter infestation... these are the best photos I could get given these things are small (see photo with my finger for size comparison). They are on my LR and near my corals, seem to move fairly slow in the tank but are able to move fast when someone is trying to grab...

I need fish recommendations guys. I pulled my clown out of my 24g aquapod as he was harassing my purple firefish into constant hiding (which is a shame, he hosted my neon green toadstool and I really loved how the tank looked with him in it), he's currently in fishy time out (ie 5g tank) for 2...

Poor quality pic, note to self get out the tripod and don't try to photograph in a bright sunny room LOL Gives you an idea though. I'll try to get some new photos tonight or tomorrow after my weekly water change. As of now my clown (who hosts the neon green toasdstool) is in fishy time out in a...

I need to spray down the gravel in our dog run, seems a product called Odormute should do a good job... I'd like to buy it locally if possible and was wondering if anyone has never seen it? I know petsmart/petco etc don't carry it. Thanks!

After a lengthy acclimation I released my new coral banded shrimp into the tank... he swam around a min and then found the large cave. Parked himself in there and seemed content. I came back about a 1/2 hour later to see one of his long pincher legs on the sand!!! He was still in there, along...

Just wondered if anyone had a favorite type of magnetic algae cleaner? For me the mag floats have been virtually useless. I have a handmade tiny cleaner called the Nimble which works pretty good on my aquapod (thin glass) but can't do anything on my thick oceanic tanks. Best I've used in the...

I really like the look of the coral banded shrimp, but what I'm reading seems to contradict itself. Some sites & people say they keep them w/o any issue with all sizes of fish and even other shrimp, others say no small fish is safe in a tank with them. If I got one it would be going into my...

As the title states, do you go every 6 months... longer? sooner? The bulbs in my 24g aquapod are about 6 1/2 months old now... zoas don't look great (they never do though LOL) but my LPS are growing like crazy, xenia is pulsing away, shrooms look very happy... should I swap out my bulbs or milk...

Not sure if anyone can help recommend a company... with the last heavy rain we saw that in one place the water is pouring down at the side of our house & hitting the window (which is also filling with water) thankfully its a newer house and everything is sealed tight so no water is getting in...

We're in the market for an electric toothbrush... has anyone tried both sonicares and oral b's? Reviews for both are great so I'm having a really hard time deciding. Leaning towards oral b I think since the heads are smaller and could likely fit into the back of our mouths easier? Thanks for...

All the talk of blackouts in NYC and parts of NJ has me thinking, and scared! The best I have on hand are those battery powered air pumps and a stack of D batteries which thankfully since I'm a stay at home mom chances are I'd be able to toss in. Granted I don't know how fast they suck up...
