Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
pretty sure they are a shoaling fish - but you're going to need more than 2. I have to go dig thru some old issues of Aquarium Fish International - I know I read about them there...be back.
depending on where the crab is - you could try and use the bottle trap or anything that has somewhat steep walls. Put something meaty at the bottom of it at night and then the crab may come out.
with regards to the hammer - you could try lowering it but I'm guessing the more flow may somehow...
Jul 29th, 2008 | LONDON -- British police were searching for a shark stolen from an aquatics shop over the weekend in southern England.
The female Australian marbled cat shark was one of a breeding pair kept in a converted garage in the back of a store owned by Peter Newman in Farnborough...
Well - southdown was meant as play sand and marketed by Home Depot - but it became the mecca for reef enthusiasts. I mean, why pay double the price at an LFS when you could get the same aragonite sugar grade sand from a big box store?
That stated - for this specific example, I'd tend to agree...
i think it may only be available in hawaii.
edit - btw it's hard to tell if the Pro Pak product is aragonite or silica-based.
I would suggest aragonite only because it can help buffer your tank. I believe Silica could increase the likelihood of an algae bloom.
if a heater is too small - you have the disadvantage of it constantly being on to try and warm the tank up in the winter. Of course the other problem with a correctly sized heater is if it gets "stuck"...
Some folks use two (smaller) heaters - this way if one gets stuck - it's not going to cook...
wild guess here - but if the cuke were annoyed "while you were out" and decided to eviscerate...it's possible all fish would be killed rather instantly - especially in a smaller volume tank like yours.
Article on Cukes
I hope that is not the case - but the only thing I can think of is perhaps...
OC II is located in North Plainfield on Route 22. They have a sticky I think in their forum with the exact address and phone #. You could also PM Brian (I forget his userid) and I'm sure he could direct you.
All AGAs have two overflows. They are located as such:
I think he means to just go direct to the source (catalina) and buy it instead of via ebay.
Also - just saw this post by Ocean Gallery II:
Tank Sale
That's a very good price on the AGA...albeit it is not as nice as the perfecto (with one corner overflow) or the oceanic tech series - but that...
sorry - this may not answer your question - but unless you are partial to caulpera - I'd say dump it and get some chaeto. Everyone in this club has too much of the stuff. Honestly this club does so much for people - I don't know what I'd do if I didn't join it.
You may have to remove the durso pipes and then you'll have room to manuever to capture the clown.
With eels - I've read using a pvc tube to get it in, and then pulling the whole tube out. I just don't know if something similar would work with a clown. If it was a maroon - I'd put a fake...
Impossible to tell. The shell looks similar to a turbo but the opening is not circular - they have more rounded openings. I checked this Article by Dr. Ronbut I don't think any match your specimen.
Ah - I may have found it...it appears to be some kind of periwinkle snail. Google that and...
you'll need a picture - there are a lot of different species of snails/gastropods. If they are out of the water - then it may be that they are an "inter-tidal" species...the closest thing I can think of is a Nerite Snail.
When Adventure Aquarium opened - (then called Camden Aquarium) they had the idea of only showing local (NJ) fauna. I went and unfortunately (as you noted) it was pretty dull (color-wise) and the variety was limited at best.
Question though - wouldn't the waters in our area be cooler? So would...
Starfish are omnivorous - brittle stars are generally excellent scavengers - though they could always take a helping of something meaty if offered. The only fish-eater that I know of is the green kind - so if it's black - it is likely just a scavenger.
In terms of cukes - you want one from the...
