the algae is horrible. good luck. I bought a gallon a tech m. :'(

that is true of the one I had. In fact once you tried to grab it - it "sealed" itself against the glass making it almost impossible to pry off. Hence the reason why AqOb sold them in bags. They actually sell them live (occasionally) in the asian market on route 1/old post road. They are smart...

that stinks....i saw the pic - she does look huge.

that is so cool! does the feeding on the mucus impact the parent at all (e.g. like a parasite)? or is it completely benign to the adult?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IY2zT161ws only 12 million hits! lol. watch the end when he turns around...like what's going on behind me...a live interview!

lol - i had an abalone from aqob. It seemed like an interesting glass cleaner until it ate one batch of clownfish eggs.. :'( Either that or the female ate them all...but my money is on that invert!!

my pleasure. It's hard to remember everything though - you get tired and then don't even get online for a day or two! lol. I use RODI water though I probably could get away with just RO water. never though of that. I use Instant Ocean salt as I don't see the point of using anything better...

how about another top-down shot. I love those tridacnids.

Day 7 FTS. Still quite a few are alive. Although the big test will be how they get thru meta. I removed most of the filter on the light (i was only allowing maybe 10% of the overhead light to go thru. It's a standard NO light for a 10g AGA tank. So pics are with full light below (not that you...

well ixnay the 40% more. Down to 5 in the second batch. I really am puzzled. Maybe I'm only good with odd numbered batches? lol.

JR - you should stop by one night when you are on your way in to practice. I assume the knee is well enough now to work out. 40% more - you are too funny. Yeah well that sounds good except I was like at 300% more before! I ran into a problem on wednesday. I had a long day at work and didn't get...

oh here's some fun for those of you subscribed: chia-pet sea urchin

wow - i neglected this thread while i was busy padding the clownfish log. ;D First batch - remains at 5. I'm really proud of them - they are looking great in the bc29. Second batch - this has been a catastrophe. I went from 17 post meta to now 7 left - huddled together in a 5g hex. third...

Thanks Qwik - i feel like I could do a better job though. I also think they are small because of the lower nutrition value. I've lost two more clowns from the second batch. Down to 7. Pretty sad if you consider just 4 days ago I had 17 past meta. I really think the nutrition on them was bad. I...

Thanks Dan! They are really fun and cute to look at. 3rd batch update: Lost another 18 since last posting. This brings the total to 24 dead. I'm not sure if these were the result of transfer deaths or lack of food. I've been pumping rotifers into the tank and phyto - but maybe the lighting...

wow that is some serious plumbing in the basement! I am jealous! great job!!!

I don't like having a sandbed in the fuge. In my opinion it becomes a dirt trap unless you are sieving everything thru a Filter sock before the water gets to the fuge. I use a stack of frag discs in towers to serve as some kind of hiding spot for ampipods/copepods. I like mine bare bottom so I...

So fess up - besides smcooler - who went? I want to hear about how awesome it was. I went to a recital (there were 3 that day) and endured the longest day of piano music ever. At least, it felt that way.

buckwheat!

that's a great deal for those fish. how big are the percs? best pm me before my wife reads that...lol!
