not worth it unless you have a really really big system. The seattle aquarium had an huge surge device for their tidal pool display. If I recall right the shedd aquarium had the same also. The biggest issue in my opinion is salt spray.

Dr. mac had them in at one point also. That stated I don't trust any crabs in my tank except porcelain crabs.

btw - where did you order the rocks from? looks good...would look better if you could DIY into some kind of bridge/cave/pillar look.

So i'm not going to dispute the need for a softner - I will question the idea that you "run out" of soft water. I would say that seems to be a little strange. If your home is utilizing the water that frequently, then you should be able to just execute a manual regeneration. On the other hand...

Can't believe the tank has been up a year. Recap on the inhabitants: Boss #1: Yellow eye kole tang Ctenochaetus strigosus Boss #2: Female egg laying true percula amphiprion percula Boss #3: Male "guardian" true percula Dither Fish1: Threadfincardinal fish Apogon leptacanthus Dither Fish2...

At a max temp of 72~74....SH will be exposed to a lower immunity at higher temps (per panmanmatt). What about pipefish? Not sure if the requirements are similar temp wise.

TFP...the mecca of dry goods.... ;D Servicing all my pets needs from the small animals to the reptiles to the sw fish. A+ One summer we got a room at the hotel (i forget the name) which has an indoor pool with a slide and everything for the kids. Before I moved to NJ - I have hit places like...

I don't recall - but i thought it was definitely under 3 digits. I think the other concern with the octo is if it squirts ink - the chemical does not easily get removed and you will need to run a lot of carbon to ensure it is quickly taken out before the tank fouls. But they are by far the...

Dunno...if you fill it with water is the haze even viewable? Maybe you could run a leak test and while you are at it see if the haze is viewable when water is in the tank. But i dunno - maybe someone else can chime in.

of course all the cool inverts have to be nonreef safe!

cool man - i love the seahorse pic...oh the arrow crab is cool too...hurry up! ;D

As i recall mbodell posted many times asking people who submitted the potm to allow their use in the calendar - but it appears not many people agreed/or sent in a viable copy/image.

an octo would be so cool. I saw a vid of someone who fed him/her fiddler crabs. The freaky octo could go thru the overflow grates (about 1/2 wide) and out into the display to eat. It's a shame though the lifespan is short. I was at TFP a few months back and they had a pair of Octos for sale.

holy cow that is awesome. I always loved the 28 nano - it was really great why you had set that tank up. btw the little giraffe thing cracks me up. My girls leave stuff all the time - i'm like a broken record - please put your toys away! ;) Anyways - looking forward to the build! Have you...

links changed... i see this http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+4&ddid=76333 although the main invert page might be safest: http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/CatDisplay.cfm?c=2733+4&count=52&s=sna&r=

eh...if it works for you - go for it. I also read those articles sometimes with a grain of salt - because one person's way is not necessarily the right way for everyone else. The parasite thing is freaky though. By now you'd probably have noticed it if there was an issue. Anyways - if you go...

Onyx - fake name - made first for the clownfish Nassarius - true latin name for the Nassarius Vibex snail. You have the Ilyanassa Obsoleta which blue zoo at least has the guts to admit that. The false advertising is kinda sad - goes to show you can't trust anything from a retailer. Even one...

No such thing as an 'onyx" nassarius snail. What you have (more than likely) is the snails being sold on ebay - nassarius obseleta. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-11/mg/index.php In a nutshell - if that is what you have - they are not reef safe and are also possible parasite carriers.
