    The burden of the nano tank

    Decided to go through the tedium of a full monthly tank overhaul today. Total power down. 5g water change. Refilled ATO reservoir. Replaced filter material. Full scrapedown of glass. Full clearing of salt creep and general cleaning of all surface component parts. Corrected some structural probs...

    Special Agent Furcifer Pardalis

    Guy likes his cage, already came down from roof and seems to have 2 basking spots and a few hang out spots. Was puling his food today and he saw a hornworm in my hand. Moved in slow and held there, he had one eye on my face and one on my hand. At 8" away he took the shot and took the worm out...

    Special Agent Furcifer Pardalis

    Didnt find him on Fauna, just stole the pic of a ybbb to show. Found him on Morph. When I looked he was listed 20 mins before I logged in, think had i been a bit later he would have easily been gone.

    Cleaner Shrimp

    Agree with Amado. Have 2 bloods, they keep their own areas. Seems price for them and skunks are now $40 or so nowadays. If they're under $10 they're probably camels - uninteresting and not very efficient.

    Bubble algae and peroxide dip

    Never had problems with Emeralds and they are always part of my CUC. Currently have 2 in my 30g, no worries. The bad rep they get seems to be due to the fact that a lot of shops sell Gorilla Crabs as Emeralds. Emeralds eat algae (and love bubble algae). Gorrilas eat corals. They look very...

    Can anyone tell me what type algae this is?

    Have a conch, 2 camel shrimp, one blood cleaner shrimp, one Emerald, 15 mixed snails, and 4 hermits in a 32g. The only killers are the hermits, the crab is happy to munch on algae and grab food on the sand. My urchin is great at cleaning rocks, though I find myself in agreement with Matt now...

    Super Pet Expo

    Might be there myself with my new chameleon addiction. They're much easier than a reef tank, just maintain a specific humidity during the day and a different one at night, run a separate misting system, pop in a HO T5 system with specific bulbs for color and UV, keep live plants with various...

    Can anyone tell me what type algae this is?

    Looks like dinos. The bubbles are just air collecting in them. My tank is going on 4-5 months and just clearing. Normal ugly tank syndrome. Dinos, a small bit of red-slime, some hair... I dropped in a good CuC, a load of pods, and used a turkey baster to blow any detritus off the rocks every...

    Micro brittle starfish

    Unsure what the current state of RC is. They were up and down for a bit. Last order I placed with John, last year about this time, had almost 100% fatality. He's a good guy, at least with my experiences, and gave full credit. BUT, saying that, the next couple weeks may not be the best time to be...

    Model building and trolling

    Thats the Seaview my friend, from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. A 60s-70s show that was basically Star Trek meets Lost in Space but underwater with a flying sub thrown in.

    Unfortunately, it's the second. Give the man a cigar. She still needs a dot wash, standard wash, weathering, some detailing and decals...

    Model building and trolling

    Well, I'm done trolling. The custom model base I've been working on today is done. Seriously disappointed in you folks. Not a single one of you called me an idiot. For any fan of 60-70's Sci-Fi, this should be an easy question based on the base. What's the centerpiece to be added?
