I need to spray down the gravel in our dog run, seems a product called Odormute should do a good job... I'd like to buy it locally if possible and was wondering if anyone has never seen it? I know petsmart/petco etc don't carry it. Thanks!

To many variables to give you a "x day" answer, depends how much dry rock to live rock, how long the system has been running, total water volume, etc. To become "live" the bacteria that inhabit the existing live rock need to multiply and move into the previously dried rock. IME whether or not...

I was going to vote goby as well, don't all blennies have the "horns" on their heads?

Thanks everyone. I ended up ordering the Piranha yesterday since I want to use it on my 30g & 70g Oceanic. Getting it from Drs Foster Smith since they have such a great return policy (don't like it, send it back) as long as it works well I'll be ordering a reefgadget to go along with it. Rich I...

That's awesome! Let us know when you're done so we can hire you to work on ours... we desperately want it partly finished but are not DIY at all, and to cheap/broke to pay the fancy professionals LOL ;)

Seems like maybe I should cough up the extra money and try one since I haven't been thrilled with the mag floats before. Would you guys recommend the Piranha or the Hammerhead for my 70g Oceanic tank? I'm not positive how thick the glass is (and no idea where a tape measure or ruler are at the...

RIP Shrimpy, I hardly knew you... Woke up this morning and checked the tank, Shrimpy was sitting on a rock looking fine. Came back after my lights kicked on and saw my large emerald crab sitting in the same spot, eating what was left of poor shrimp :( I feel just awful, I have no idea a emerald...

After a lengthy acclimation I released my new coral banded shrimp into the tank... he swam around a min and then found the large cave. Parked himself in there and seemed content. I came back about a 1/2 hour later to see one of his long pincher legs on the sand!!! He was still in there, along...

Just wondered if anyone had a favorite type of magnetic algae cleaner? For me the mag floats have been virtually useless. I have a handmade tiny cleaner called the Nimble which works pretty good on my aquapod (thin glass) but can't do anything on my thick oceanic tanks. Best I've used in the...

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Sounds like it should work out, I'll proceed with caution and be sure to keep him well fed. I'll update with how it goes :) Candi

I really like the look of the coral banded shrimp, but what I'm reading seems to contradict itself. Some sites & people say they keep them w/o any issue with all sizes of fish and even other shrimp, others say no small fish is safe in a tank with them. If I got one it would be going into my...

had another idea besides the ones I told you about... cyclopeez. I've never had a fish turn it down (I use freeze dried myself) and it was what I used to get my very small yellow clown goby eating after getting him. Might work with your little guy/girl too.

My tanks (the ones w/o a puffer or wrasse at least LOL) are simply overrun with them. I have no idea what I've done to cause the breeding, I also still see plenty of pods in my tanks. I don't feed them anything in particular... I did have a 3g setup for a hitchiker crab I found in my tank that I...

I haven't tried the elite as I'm to cheap LOL but I've used regular chemipure in my 24g aquapod since day one. I heard about it originally from a fellow aquapod owern who's tank I adored and figured it it worked for him I'd give it a shot too. I also however do change 5g (with all the rock I...

I say turn off the daylights too... lots of people turn off all nights for a couple days every couple months. Think of all the critters that normally come out during the night that you can see :) My ballast for my daylights went a few months back and I was stuck with nothing but actinic for...

aquatic obsessions is pretty good at getting in requests, maybe check with them and if they don't have one they might be able to order it. Happy Birthday too!

As the title states, do you go every 6 months... longer? sooner? The bulbs in my 24g aquapod are about 6 1/2 months old now... zoas don't look great (they never do though LOL) but my LPS are growing like crazy, xenia is pulsing away, shrooms look very happy... should I swap out my bulbs or milk...

IMO if it's not making you happy, take it out. Sounds like it's time for the BTA to go, your clowns will be fine w/o it... will likely find something else to host. If you really like them keep them, otherwise fine time to part with them too I'd say LOL See what you'd get for credit, if you're...

In that case, when can we hire you? Anytime at all (I know you're busy) let me know and I'll be here with a new disposal waiting (anything else I need to pick up?) Please :D Thanks Mike!

Hey Mike, Thank you for letting your son know we needed help with the gutters, we were surprised to see him (glad we were home) but happy he was able to help out. I think we're going to hire him to put in the garbage disposal too :) Candi
