Unless you look like a sea slug from behind .. I think you are safe ;D

One of the stories surrounding Fishzilla or the japanese snakehead fish is that it got introduced to North American waters by a guy following his traditional customs of releasing fish to the ocean as an offering. To add to the effect of his offering, he chose a fish native to his own country...

Do you intend to keep it? If you do, you would have to get hold of an unfortunate sea slug so that this guy can host it. In an aquarium environment that might be rather uncomfortable to both the parasite and the host. You would perhaps also risk the pearl fish larvae entering your main tank if...

.. sorry who are we talking about again ??

Ouch, tough luck Jon. Were you able to figure out what happened ? Perhaps get a sample water tested to find out if anything other than Ammonia, nitrate etc is through the roof? I dont know if this helps but you live not so far away from Rutgers Marine Science Dept. you could try shooting...

If you're there ask a volunteer when is the Hippo feeding time. It does a nice dance in the water when that happens.

You could buy an ammeter/voltmeter from walmart and find out where your electrical connecetion is failing (or not outputting the required amps/volts). I have come to realise that this is an involved hobby that you've got to be a little hands-on about.

Its marketed as both in-sump and out external use. The reviews were mostly good, but I would any day trust a fellow members opinion more than some stranger with a keyboard. I am in no real hurry for a skimmer, I could wait till I have more understanding of what I would like out of the equipment.

I maintain a 20G at the moment and recenlty got a decent deal on a Reef Devil protein skimmer. Has anyone used it in an out-of-sump installation ? Any feedbacks about the skimmer ? This summer I hope to be able to convert the 20G into a sump/frag tank and the 40G above to my main tank. In such...

I totally agree with you Phyl, on the fact that the stuff is good. But how sensitive is the stuff to the expiration date ? My bottle expires on 08/28/09 ... and directed amount of use is 1-2 tsp/day for every 100 gallon. With that rate, I suppose it would be 2tsp/5 days for my 20G. Between now...

Please dont bad mouth only Petsmart/Petco people, stuff like this happens in our favorite LFS-s as well. I went to one of our sponsors' stores a couple of days back, and against my will was somewhat coerced into buying a bottle of oysterfeast to feed my newly bought chalice. [inspite of having...

I assume you would have measured from glass surface to glass surface, which just by itself is an incorrect way to get to the tank capacity (since we have not accounted for glass thickness). I would suggest not to sweat it, since it might not a big deal on a tank that big. But if you think that...

Hi Janey, Your tank dimensions seem to be off (or the capacity is a little above 97 gallons). Your length X breadth X height = 22464 cu. in. .. and that according to Google Calculator is 97.25 gallons approx...

Incense hmmm.. do you think that can take the insane tobacco stench from my car. Sounds pretty close to where I live, will check it out sometime.

Contact the powers that be and find out if you could change your screen name to Robbies Jungle. The word reef is too "constrictive" to properly describe you 8)

I am very new to the reef keeping world. So I make it a point to pore through the Net most of my evenings reading about the intriguing creatures and about the ways of preventing my steady stream of outflowing cash to culminate into an ammonia/phosphate rich, nutrient deficient tub of salt water...

bump ...

I was thinking of planting some mangroves in my CPR Fuge Medium, and was researching on mud substrates and here were some of the options I cam up with: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_hg?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=aquarium+mud+&x=0&y=0 For or against opinions on the above above...

Want to grow live food ... From either the grape caulerpa I got from AdamPl, or the other macro algae I got from rehype, I got a lot of pods ( dont know what type so not categorising them). All of a sudden, I see a couple of small brittle star and sand sifter stars surface out. [Cause and...

Should they stay or should they go I ID-d my last macro as grape caulerpa. I have been reading horror stories about these guys. Is it OK to keep them? Could I use carbon pellets to nullify or mollify the effects of their sexual discharge? I was also thinking of using one of the chambers of my...
