    Mantis shrimp (Brick) Gone(ish)

    Timing is the problem. Been a delay with the (second) new tank as the first tank is being worked on. I've got it in a large creature carrier with rock and he's eating mysis fine. Just don't know how long he'll be in holding and feel bad for enclosing him. I expected him to be in holding no more...

    Mantis shrimp (Brick) Gone(ish)

    Gonodactylus chiragra Was put up for adoption a few months back (forget the original owner, sorry). Wilson picked it up and cared for it, then recently transferred to me. I thought I'd have capacity for it atm, but I dont, and I feel bad as its been living in a small tank now for almost 2...

    Marine Pure block or something else

    All my nanos had a media rack with floss on the top and then as much Marinepure as I could cram into the rest of the rack (and the rest of the filter area if there was any space). When I built my AIO partition for my 40 I left a full chamber for the stuff, and there's 6 pounds of the stuff in my...

    Ocean revives or SB reef lights?

    Never owned either but have heard good things across the board for ORs. Saw a shop a few years back with nothing but ORs over the tanks. I'm running Hydras atm, but I'm considering plumbing in a fragger with the OR247 over it. Per Versys - customer service... Here's what I do (seriously) when...

    cleaning a fresh water used tank need advice

    Don't even need 50/50. 10% vinegar to water is more than plenty. Just let it sit for a day or two. I'm cleaning a 40 filled with coraline now, but I only had about 2 cups of vinegar. Filled with 40g of water, dropped the 2 cups vinegar in, and 48 hours later the majority of coraline is gone...
