do you have sand in this tank and if so - please list the clean up crew. It wouldn't hurt to siphon out the cyano. I agree with all the previous posts - without knowing your tank equipment - it's a sure bet you don't have enough flow.

Shrimp are just ornamental (opportunistic) cute critters for the tank. They should not be sold as part of a clean up crew. They basically need to be fed just like your fish. If you do not keep them happily fed they will gladly plunge their claws into coral polyps and pull food out. It's...

Jabis - unfortunately for sale threads belong elsewhere. If you want me to move the thread - pm me. Otherwise I ask everyone to refrain from buying/selling in this thread/forum.

The good news is it survived the night. It is a Mourning Dove. After placing it last night in the box, I dare not open it again for fear of further stressing it. I was scared it was dead but it cooed last night and make some bird sounds. This morning, prior to work I took the box and drove it to...

he's got a nice 8 bulb T5 fixture in a 90 gallon...I can tell from the pic. ;) just kidding...i read it in his tale of the tank. Croceas (in the wild that is) are rarely found on the sandbed. If you're going to put in on the sandbed, do it a favor to feel secure and place a small flat piece...

welcome frank! discus are amazing fish...I actually knew a couple buddies of mine in NY that bred them (it was the most humid basement ever...lol) and sold the babies to lfs. Anyways - I didn't have a tank for a good year on this board but it was fun to hang around and read other tanks/look at...

Durso standpipes are named after Richard Durso's design (AGA/Aqueon copies it in those mega flow kits). http://www.dursostandpipes.com/?page_id=6 I went the DIY method (lowes/HD) - I honestly was so intimidated by it but everyone here was so encouraging and it worked! i didn't even have to...

Agree with a good book - much better than my advice! ;) A bunch of great books listed in my tale of the tank here Get an RODI if you haven't already. Huge difference in my opinion on whether you battle algae or not. Start a tank thread here. ;D This way we can help keep surprises at bay...

Yuyiboy - this thread is over a year old (almost 2). Pm me if you think something absolutely has to be added that can't be done with a new thread. Until then....Locked.

conch fritters are yummy. I wonder if they are the same conch...

I dunno - I had to take my damsel of a girl out a lot (buffets included) before she agreed to marry me. ;) 'Course now I just point to our savings/101K and say sorry. :o welcome to membership! I guess we can't talk about you anymore in the members-only forum. ;D Mods - quick, pull that thread!

This is the one I use. Frankly as a never-before user of RODI equipment - it was actually really straightforward to install. typhoon 3 That stated - I don't like piercing pipes - so I also grabbed the hosey: http://www.airwaterice.com/product/HOSEY/Hose_and_Y_Combo.html This little device is...

with the ultra cold weather online shipments are going to be iffy. sorry to see fish go like that.

yeap - gloves as usual. who knows - with the weather and all.

My wife mentioned to me there was a bird on the driveway and to be careful coming home. Sure enough there was a species of dove (sorry i am not a bird expert)- it looks like one of these Band-tailed Pigeon Columba fasciata Common Ground-Dove Columbina passerina Eurasian...

nice pick up. Can't speak to acans (maybe post over in sps?) but the nano wavebox is coming down in price supposedly due to the new exchange rates. :)

cool fish...the feather duster is a filter feeder - keep that in mind as you'll need to supplement with some food like DT's Phytoplankton.

another... good luck!

From a conservation perspective - did anyone catch the fact that it is LEGAL in canada to harvest lobsters that size - whereas in Maine it's not? I would also imagine that if the lobster were to go out into international waters outside the state - it would also become fair game. Although I do...

wow - nice tank! WELCOME TO NJRC! we have a meeting coming up on 1-24 if you can make it. Open to members and non-members alike.
