Well, tired of procrastinating. Had the day off. Started at 6:30am with an empty tank. Finished transferring livestock at 11:45pm. Added 1 purple firefish, 1 juvenile picasso clown, 1 yellow watchman goby, 1 tiger shrimp to the crew. Debating on anthias, flame angel, or melanurus wrassse as...

Should I go with this... Or this... I'm leaning towards the second one as its a bigger, and I do have a 90.

Thanks for the advice all. Think I'll go with a male melanarus, a juvenile clown, and a yellow goby/pistol shrimp combo. I was under the impression that with a Tang and a Clown it would be best to introduce any new fish during the changeover. Is that not a good idea?

Fell asleep with my hand in the tank. Margarita snail took my thumb down to the bone.

Hi all. Tank is coming together. Planning on doing some livestock switchovers on Wednesday and could use some help. Question 1: I was planning on just catching fish in current tank, placing each (individually) in 1/2 gallon plastic containers, floating containers in new tank while acclimating...

Filling up the new 90 :)

Could do that. Any brown, unbleached paper or cardboard would work. Basis is that the enzymes that break the paper down put nitrates into the water that the worms survive off of. The plant does the same thing but requires only a cup or so water change every once in a while and doesn't leave any...

Good to see you're not going overboard ;) I may have some time Saturday. Give me a call if you still need a hand (can also drop the 40 off).

Sure, just wrote up a thread on it... http://www.njreefers.org/showthread.php?91169-Raising-Blackworms

40b pending.

Thanks go to Paul B for getting me into this. It's probably the best thing I've done for my fish, though I am still waiting for the supermodels to show up. Please keep in mind this guide is written for 70-90g tanks. You may have to upscale a bit for a larger system. I'm unsure if it would work...

Heya Art, I make my own once in a while. I have a small blackworm 'farm' in a 5g tank, so that's the mainstay of my tank the past couple of months. I just made some supplemental food as well. I get a months worth of high quality stuff for $4 or so. I try not to make too much to avoid freezer...

40b available again

Sorry Bob, not thinking. 40b pending.

Need to fund a new return pump and a larger skimmer, so... 40b brand new, still has stickers $30 15g with metal stand (nice for nano or species tank) $20 20g long and a 10g $10

Manhattan has that effect on fish. I think they get overwhelmed looking at the big buildings and tend to forget they're sick.

BAH! Crawled back in. Pending...

As I sit here typing this my wife seems to be going into labor. Think I'm going to go to the hospital in a few minutes.

Look into Life Rock as well. Its man made and pre seeded. You just put it in the tank while cycling. I used 40 pounds of it along with 20-30 pound of dry rock and it works very well. Currently cycling some now for a new build. Sound like you've got a wealth of freshwater experience and...
