there are several smaller species of sand sifters that would be fine in smaller tanks as long as their population densities are not too high...1 cuke for every 40 or 50 pounds of established live fine grade sand would be a good starting point imo

Not to nit pick, but there are only 4 species (3 pacific and 1 atlantic species) of horseshoe crabs all of them being extremely ecologically important. None are to be considered dwarf as the the Atlantic species Limulus polyphemus is the smallest of the four. IMO your horseshoes may be finding...

If someone already stated this, I'm sorry for the repeat. I think the bill is necessary and it might make alot of people think before they buy... if not for the fish's sake then for their own. Too many people in this hobby have little respect for life and feel that if a cheap fish ( such as a...

flatworms are a common pest, but IMO you need to start being more concerned with water quality management rather than searching for a miracle fish to solve the problem. But having resourceful fish such as sixlines or leopard wrasses will help control many pests

redo the plumbing with flex pvc. or add a length of it in your current plumbing

I'm getting ready to break this system down. RAD is building me a 48x48 cube

Likewise Dave, I've got some zoas for you when your out here next...or when I finally get some time to head out your way.

I think Mike is referring to Legends on rt 34 in Wall.

try to salvage those crabs before harsh dips. They are beneficial and very interesting in their own right. they are in the genus Trapezius

The problem is they are becoming a much more common sighting within the past couple of years.
