nassarius do not need algae - they eat left over food. They will compete with shrimp/serpent stars etc. A nice by-product is them turning the sandbed because of their sleep habits. personally i skip hermits. I got a batch for free at macna (kids wanted em) but now almost all of mine are in the...

this post should be separated and stickied as a warning to all of us who are part of the flood club as to how bad it can get! ;D ;D yikes!!!

So let me share my fish mishaps: At the AqOB anniversary sale - they had this beautiful beautiful leopard wrasse. I was like number 4 on the list of people in the store and bill lange was ahead of me. He also wanted that l.wrasse and got it. So being next in line there was another l.wrasse -...

I should also mention that Brizjuan was the guy I got my clowns from and he had an entirely different mishap - his entire 120 cracked. He got a call from his family while at work saying there was water leaking from the stand. That was the quickest "getting out of hobby" sale I had ever seen. We...

A bit different mishap - ...the first time my clowns laid eggs I wasn't paying any close attention to the tank. So I never noticed them laying them. If you've ever seen eggs laid the first day they are bright bright orange in color. But I never noticed. Busy with work/honey-to-do list yada yada...

Please do not bother changing your password Top researcher at Microsoft says the effort involved by users to change passwords constantly far outweigh the benefit...read the link above! =) Although somehow I don't think my employer will bother. I've got to change my password logging into the...

lol- but wait there's more, you have to pay for the priviledge and get in line to do it.

SYDNEY (AFP) – Australian authorities refloated a huge Chinese ship on Monday that had been stranded on the Great Barrier Reef for over a week after running aground, averting a potential environmental crisis. Emergency workers successfully moved the 230-metre (750-foot) Shen Neng 1 coal carrier...

jorge used Seaflor Special Grade Reef Sand. This the description on foster and smith website. "This mixed-grade aragonite substrate is perfectly suited as a reef tank bottom cover or for use with nitrate-reducing systems. The addition of small shells makes it ideal for aquariums with mature...

4 month old clownfish: Slightly less than 3 month old clownfish: Others have beautiful wrasses or the blue-spot jaw. I know mine is plain old yellow-head - but he's special to me! My favorite reason for having sand in my tank:

wow I can see why you'd have mixed feelings. I guess you can finally change the sig...

i have black sand - I like the contrast as it's different from the usual white sand. jsantonli (spelling?) also has the black sand. My only issue with this is that there are minor bits of magnetic material in the sand - which is attracted to the mag floats - making it a potential scratch hazard...

hang in there. It takes time for the tank to mature before most of the nutrients are taken up. I felt like it took almost a year for me before the purple coralline really took over the tank. When you say algae on the glass - it sounds like it's just diatoms and not necessarily the hair algae or...

(edit double post).

This is written by Colin Foord - not me: Julian Sprung and I have been working together to come up with a 'form letter' in response to the potential ESA listing of 82 coral species (see below). We wrote it such that other coral aquaculturists/hobbyists can attach their name and hit 'send'. Here...

I guess I'll give the other opinion (which I believe to be the minority one) - I don't care for crabs. I only have a handful of hermits from macna because my girls wanted them (and they were free from coral morphologic). As they got large I drop them into my sump. I think I might have one hermit...

it sounds fine. You want the GFO to be slightly moving at the surface...otherwise you're not pushing at water thru at all. It should not be bouncing around as then the media will just dissolve quickly thru friction. Do you have a pic of the reactor?

he's not on the boards anymore...he deleted his id. ::)
