For those with sandbeds: fighting conches - use two in my 120 for sand sifting and eating up diatoms/algae on the sand nassarius snails - eat leftover food and stir the sand cerith snails - sand dwellers that pop out to eat algae on rocks/glass. sea cucumber - eats dirty sand, poops out clean...

If you want to read about the dreaded "Cuke nuke" - read here: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/jan2003/invert.htm The type that eats sand is typically safe. However if it blows it's guts - it's not an ideal situation either. ::)

threadfin cardinalfish. They stay tight together and are rarely apart. The issue again is finding healthy ones. Another issue is that it's been commented to me that they look like freshwater tetras. They are very peaceful - even my firefish chases them. that stated - any "school" of fish will...

congratulations on the big(ger) tank! I agree - if you want to "discard" the fauna on the existing LR - just let it bake/dry and that will kill everthing.

bad link...?

Stopped by and the place was there all to myself...even the couch was empty! shocking! Anyways reason i'm posting here is because that cowrie did not work out...it looked really cool but did not seem interested in the algae and my nassarius snails became extremely interested in it. d'oh...

My tang does not know when to stop eatting the nori so I tend not to give it all the time: fast easting = fast pooping = higher nitrates.

hey warren welcome! I love the display tanks at trop - if I lived closer I'd pay them more of a visit. I've never dealt with trent but austin is on this board and is a great guy to deal with. If you're really bored you could pay a visit to the Red Bank Vet hospital - there's a 2,000 gallon...

please post your location. oh wait wrong thread. Happy Birthday!

GFO = Granular Ferric Oxide - it's a term used to describe media that absorbs phosphates.

OG II has them. That stated if they are like dust - I'd just use the mag float. Maybe a picture if you have time to show what's growing will help.

clownfish, when small, basically should be considered "juvenile" - neither male or female. The best way to ensure a pairing is to buy a very small clown that will grow into the sex desired. If a female is there already - it should develop into a male. Regarding the sand - you should probably...

nice pics! thanks for uploading so many of them! That shrimp looks like something I just recently bought live from an asian market - quite yummy. stupid fact that i probably only know: Spock was filmed inside a tank at monterrey.

that is amazing. I've only seen a blue lobster up in maine at their oceanarium. Interesting morphs shown here though: (check out the half/half lobster). http://www.maine.gov/dmr/rm/aquarium/exhibits.htm#lobsters

I came across this sign... you'd think it meant it was one-way in all those directions, but no. It's basically a 4 way stop zone but they stuck an island in the middle. The sign is just to direct you how to drive around the island. Bizarre.

Welcome george - nice looking tank . Regarding the LR - what makes you think the 30~40 llbs of LR has copper in it? If it has copper then "curing" the rock will not help - the copper will remain and be lethal to inverts. Frankly if you know for sure it has copper - i'd look elsewhere for more LR...

catching up on my reading. That is one badly shipped tank. UPS shipped my skimmer from NaCL-H20 and the bottom piece was busted...a "pressure" crack (basically they stacked something a lot heavier on top. Anyways - what a mess of a car - looks like it was a well cared for scion but not anymore...

i have a 120 display with about 30 gallon sump - i had a 55 gallon drum for ATO while I was away the past 2 weeks and I came back and there was about 15~20 gallons left. So about 25 gallons evap - but both my sump and display have no cover (sump sits in a separate room). About 1.7 gallons a day...

terri is right - i haven't looked at my tarpon in a while but I just did and it does look like yours. My RPM for the tarpon is identical to what you have shown and the frame also reads 56J. Only thing is mine has a black sticker- not the silver you have pictured. My tarpon is underneath my sink...

hammerhead. I like the MD website and their barracuda picture does not look like your pump. of course pictures on websites are not always correct. ::)
