I've got a bit of an algae issue in my 70g, presumably because I've been a bit lax in keeping my skimmer cleaned out (it uses bioballs internally) and my sump could use a cleaning. I pull out as much as I can but I'm not very good at it (thick rubber gloves I use make it difficult to get a grip...

Hope you get it back how you like it. My family thought I was nuts when I spent over a week designing a structure with my marco rock and then using zipties to secure it (3 large structures that sit together to appear as one piece)... I'm so glad I did it, I only have 2 rocks in there that aren't...

What a coincidence to see this thread today. I've had 2 mollies in my reef for over a month now (not sure on actual names but one is orange, actually a very pretty fish, and one a silver) anyways I got them because I have a few spots of algae the rest of the clean up crew isn't doing a good job...

Hey Matt can you give me a contact email for someone at seahorse.org so I can create an account? I saw the notice about needing to email to have one created but don't see an email. Thanks!

I'd say just enjoying, otherwise I can see this turning into needing to set up more tanks and a divorce lawyer being called LOL. Also going to jump ahead of myself, but I've always loved pipefish... are there such a thing as CB pipefish who happily take mysis as well? I'm getting that...

Yes I'd only be interested in captive bred, ease of feeding frozen mysis as only one of the reasons. Matt I'm going to be doing lots of reading on seahorse.org but is there a specific type of seahorse I should focus on in my reading that is best suited for the 30g cube, best number kept, etc...

Thanks Mark & Greg, I'll check out the link and check in with Matt depending on my findings. I had a feeling the tank size was at the lower end of the limit.

I'd love to chat with whomever is our seahorse expert, or anyone who keeps them. I lost my juvi green spotted puffer this week (reason unknown, other two fish are in perfect health) and I've decided against another puffer. Transfered the other 2 fish in the tank to my 70g and have been...

Not sure what your budget is, since I think they are very pricey... but have you checked Pottery Barn yet? They have quite a selection of wall units that you piece together, so might meet your special requirements/size needs. If you find any great furniture stores in the area please let me know...

My experience has been very hit or miss with these little guys. Ordered my first 2 about 6 months ago... they came in so small I thought there was no chance for them, yellow went into my aquapod and green into my 70g. As you can imagine green was never seen again after day 2 and is presummed...

Michael is great! 90% of my fish are from nyaquatic and with the exception of 2 very small clown gobies who've gone missing (might still be alive) everything has been excellent. Extremely healthy fish, unreal prices (even on more rare fish, my geometric pygmy hawk was more then double everywhere...

SHHH... don't let out the secret ;) Ken is great, his livestock, freebies, and excellent priority mail shipping are top notch. I've been ordering from him since I first got in the hobby and I know several people here buy from him frequently. Just got some rics in last week myself, including a...

Looking great! Now I really can't wait to get my package, hopefully tomorrow or Thursday :D

Re: Is my skunk cleaner shrimp in danger if I add a pistol shrimp (Alpheus randa Well if they go in the same tank it would be my 24g aquapod where the cleaner shrimp already lives, if I was risking my cleaner with that living situation then the pistol/goby could chance it in my 70g or I could...

I couldn't pass up on the goby/shrimp pair Michael @ NYaquatic.com was offering so I ordered them (getting on Tuesday). However they are intended for my 24g aquapod which is already home to my much loved skunk cleaner shrimp... I just heard that pistols may kill a cleaner shrimp??? I don't want...

::HUGE HUGS:: Thank you so much everyone for your super kind offers, I'm so sorry for not writing back sooner... hubby had to go out of town and took his home laptop and I was having computer issues again with my desktop so I didn't get online. Thankfully my adapter arrived on Saturday and I...

Al: trop is a bit of a drive for me, figure I might just go get some distilled water from the grocery, not as good as RO but better then tap just for topoffs Mark: thanks for the info, I'll check them out tomorrow...hopefully the part will arrive tomorrow or Sat :)

Hard to tell from the photo, but from the movement it looks like the swarm of mysids I have in my tanks. Easiest way to figure it out would be... if they are swimming likely fish, if they are running on the bottom its mysid... or net a few. As for your blenny being so fat, maybe because the...

As I said in the PM, welcome to the area & the group. A wonderful group of people here always willing to help out in any way possible!
