    Crabs

    I bought some emerald crabs a long time ago to get rid of bubble algae- didn't happen. they tossed just about anyting they could around- some pretty big rocks too, I heard stories about how they may kill fish. I read how pitho crabs eat bubble algae and don't get as big as emeralds and bought a...

    Phyto

    I've been culturing my own phyto for over a year, startted with a kit from Mercer of Montana. My cultures have crashed a couple of times and I've had to start over with cultures I bought on Ebay.

    DIY Frag Rack

    I had an acrylic shelf laying around. I cut it down and used plastic mesh used for knitting and zip ties- the clips are the kind used for securing beach towels to chairs. My previous rack was drilled for plugs. snails kept knocking the pugs out and I prefer to use rubble. It's on the end of the...

    Local Critters

    Has anyone ever set up a tank with creatures from the ocean or bays. I remember seeing gar (pipefish ) jellyfish small fish in the bay and ocean along with clams, mussels and crabs. I suppose none would survive for long periods, but it would be interesting

    Frantic to Chill

    Some fish are just chill to begin with, others take a bit of time to settle down, but there are those that would drive me crazy and make me question if they were a bad choice for my size tank. My Melanurus was the first, pacing back and forth at the front of the tank, then there was the Tomini...

    Favorite Fish ( not the biggies)

    We all try to stock our DT with an Eye catcher or 2/3 but have you ever had that fish, 2 or more that catch your eye more than the others.

    Flatworms

    I stopped by my LFS today and it has post-its on the tanks with info when the fish was bought etc. I noticed that the one for a Springer damsel said it eats flatworms- at first I thought that it meant that that was all it ate- I have a Springer for years and it eats anything- got home and did a...

    Blennies

    9 months ago I got a very small starry blenny from a fellow reefer and added it to my 75g and never saw it again. I kicked myself at the time thinking I should have put it in the 13g until it got bigger. I assumed it died. This morning when feeding I noticed a fish lurking in the shadows. At...
