ouch....I didn't know purples weren't reef safe. Were you able to get the fish out?

wow bobcreef (and bconn/dnov99) - I think if my bill were to go into the 4 digit area - I seriously may re-consider the idea of my 120 and take a real hard look at a nano. Then I may go tell my financial advisor to take a hard look at some utility stocks. :P My tank isn't up yet - so I'm...

I would suggest to you to go for the Yellow Tang...they are from Hawaii and in a way you'd be buying "made in the usa". LOL. I believe the purples are slightly more expensive - probably due to the fact that they are typically taken from the Red Sea. Either will fit fine in a 120 - but purples...

Interesting...I may set a few up if only to see if I have any intruders/uninvited guests at night. Thanks everyone for the ideas! Maybe if I take enough claritin/zyrtec I could go adopt that 44 pound cat in Camden :o :o :o. It stinks that the owner had a foreclosure but man what was she feeding...

Hmmm - but then that means I have to set them in spots that are relatively accessible. I've got some crawl spaces in the basement that are really tight squeeze...I'd have to tie a line to the trap or something and set it without setting it off. Maybe I'll try this first before the poison.

Darren - thanks, no pets that roam the grounds or outside their cages (lol). Will take the poison under advisement if other methods/deterrents don't work.

natural predators would be ideal but I am allergic to cats. The mice are tiny. heck even the praying mantis I found in our garden was almost bigger...lol.

I just want to say that that tank is gorgeous. Oh and the 180 ain't bad either. ;)

Joe - the torch coral is part of the same genus as the frogspawn coral, as well as the "hammer" coral. They all are of the Euphyillia Family...hence promixity of these corals near one another typically does not matter. However, they all have really long sweeper tentacles and can easily sting...

yep - you'd have to have a kind of raceway tank connected via bulkheads where each compartment held a single adult. Then when it was molting time - you'd have soft-shelled Callinectes sapidus. I find those especially tasty when rolled in sushi rice. sorry for the hijack. A tidal pool biotope...

Hey Folks... Need advice on combatting Field Mice. None found inside the home but I am paranoid they will find a way in. Should I place traps outside? I am looking for my red rider but I heard that I might shoot my eye out. ;D

are you sure it's not the new light that is causing the corals to close up?

how much to prune depends on what you hope to accomplish with the cheato. If it is for strict nutrient export, then frequent pruning will in effect take the nutrients out of the tank and also encourage more growth. On the other hand, if it's main purpose is be a refugium - as in a place where...

good info herb - can you link the kill-a-watt product you used? Is it this one on amazon? P4400

I was able to hear it - I transcripted it here: "My name is Michael Plott, this is Mason, first of all I just want to thank each and every person that has already donated to reach our goal of $25,000…for this amazing opportunity to have this surgery for mason. You know as a parent you want do...

I didn't vote since I don't have either (ozone or UV). While there are tanks out there with both that are impressive, I've also seen tanks without using either that are just as comparable. Obviously there are other factors involved but it's something to consider (in essence: is it a requirement...

Never shopped there before but I'd try and get the skimmer and refugium separately unless you are set on the specific skimmer being offered. On there FAQ page they state you can customize it (that is, get the refugium without a skimmer) for a different quote. Personally I'm going to pick up a...

July 18 - 2008 A little bit dated news - but...our local mart has em for sale for $5.99 a pound...just in case folks are picking them up... CONCORD, N.H. -- The state is advising consumers not to eat a certain part of lobsters because of concerns about red tide. The state Department of...

you need to post your location if you are selling the shark. There's a sticky in the for sale about posting location (not zip, the city) in your subject line. ;D ;D ;D

I would have both overflows lead to the skimmer -> return. The return could then be T'd (or Wyed) to the fuge. The fuge would then just overflow back to the return. There is a slight risk that whatever critters are flowed out of the fuge will get chopped up by the impeller of the return pump...
