Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
:) It partners with the Pistol (Snapping) shrimp (Alpheus sp) not with the Cleaner shrimps, though it might look for the serveices of the Cleaner shrimp like other fish.
Just a few observations, if you don't mind me butting in :)
Assuming that the coral in the middle-right is Monti Cap, it will shade the corals and anemone below as it grows. Montis usually grow faster then other corals so it will easily outpace them for space and light. On the other hand, that...
If the first dorsal fin looks like the one on this pic http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/faunabase/_asp_bin/MapITcx.asp?d=Fishes&t=Amblyeleotris%20wheeleri
or corresponds to the description from here http://www.fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=7196
it would be the Amblyeleotris wheeleri...
Ok, we are going somewhere. Actually before I would go for PC power supply (which is usually the most reliable part of PC ::) ) I would check CPU cooling fan as well as how tight the heat sink is pressed against the chip. PCs today MUST run them, and I believe that they have a feature to prevent...
First of all, is it a laptop (external power supply) or desktop (internal)?
I assume that when you powered it up, you couldn't see any lights, LEDs lit, any sound from fans and hard drive, right?
If desktop, is the screen's power cord connected to the outlet or to the computer? Does it work on...
Open mouth, if combined with rapid gill movement is usually a sign of bad water chemistry. Change of a color is the sign of stress that can be from any source, though the first to be manifested in this way would be change or inadequate environment and stress from other fish. Enlarged belly could...
Are you talking about the coralline algae or green algae? For coraline algae, all magnetic scrappers are going to be inefficient, and you would better do to use something like this...
Hey, I just quoted from the link you posted :P
Anyway, have you ever wondered how autofocus works on a digital SLRs? Wether using phase detection or contrast method, autofocus is based on a small number of autofocus points to either cut technical or computational complexity of the...
Amazing how much "cutting edge" Artificial Inteligence from 10-15 years ago is now proliferating common products on the market:
"Leveraging data provided by their 1,005-pixel RGB Matrix Meter, Nikon’s new SRS provides more precise subject identification, optimizing autofocus, exposure and white...
That is why I have said small amounts, in the sump. The concentration of such addition will quickly disipate in a significantly bigger volume of your sump and should not reach your tank in any dangerous levels.
As for chemical reactions, they stabilize very quickly, specially if you add smaller...
Well, they had this cool labyrinth made of blocks of straw where you wrer supposed to time your dog navigating it. I thought it would be more fun to sen my son in it ;D
Then they had a "cute dog" competition, and a swimming pool where the dogs competed in how far they would jump into the water...
Don't change water, there is absolutely no need for it. Just start slowly adding the salt. Just mix some small amount of water (doesn't really matter if it is fresh or from tank) with some amount of salt. Calculate how much salt you need (basically what you intended to add to 25 g) split it in...
Not sure about that - I had an algae-eating blenny that wouldn't touch hair algae ???. As Carlo has suggested, Tangs are very efficient and IMHO the best. Of course, at the same time you have to reduce the nutrients which will prevent the future growth.
