Steve - red slime - aka cyanobacteria can be caused by several (or combination) of factors. Dr. Ron Shimek basically states that "The root cause of this sort of thing is strictly nutrient imbalance. In effect, your system's export of nutrients is inadequate to keep up with the additions. The...

Adam - welcome!!! Where are you located? I'm not familiar with the equipment though I'm sure someone will chime in shortly. The reason I ask about location is that there are some preferences on LFS - but it doesn't make sense to send someone in Bergen to a store in Jackson...

if you are trying to insert a jpg from photobucket, there are two ways to do so: 1.in photobucket, choose the IMG code (third line under the jpg), then in this forum, just click paste... Or...the two step method would be to choose the Directlink (second line under the jpg), then in this forum...

pic has zero kb....means you saved a blank page or something.

SOunds like you have experience with FW (cichilds arent the normal beginner fw fish). Is your tank a FO? I think losses do come to even the best of us - and I don't think you should discourage yourself. With *Some* people, it may make sense to stop purchasing anymore fish to just do a check and...

Correct! "You killed my father, now prepare to die!!!" I guess that means it's your turn...

i have to meet you then...my wife thinks i'm crazy for loving that movie...I can prove to her that another sane adult male actually likes the movie. lol. midnight run - now that was another classic...deniro was hilarious. I'm going to use this one word quote- I think it's obvious - but...

he should have used a more obscure quote - like "did you mean an african or european swallow"? "I dont know....aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

I think you were asking a question - but if this is a movie quote - it's ferris buellers day off again...lol.

Man - I can't believe I've been away to miss this useless (but humorous) thread! I did something really dumb...that would be slip on some steps and badly hurt my back. Luckily nothing broke - just on massive painkillers and finally able to get to a desk/pc. It was weird - like I was living the...

no - but the priority overnight shipping from cali would run you $60~70 - unless they offer a deal on it. Would be awesome if we lived on the left coast...but i'm sure the club will have another invert group buy.

Re: Is my skunk cleaner shrimp in danger if I add a pistol shrimp (Alpheus randa ooops - misread that...definitely go for the 24g. Unless the cleaner is dumb enough to go into the burrow, I don't see it as a problem.

I would wait for our next group buy - but honestly think we should try and check out the LFS sponsors of this forum to see what they have. There is nothing like "WYSWYG"...the other concern Id have is the cold weather for shipping.

I used to use that background where one side is blue/black - but taping it to the tank was aggravating (the salt spray can be messy). I then tried some kind of material where one side is "sticky" and you smooth it out on the tank...but we got a few bubbles in there. The last time I tried - I...

Re: Is my skunk cleaner shrimp in danger if I add a pistol shrimp (Alpheus randa I believe there are others on the forum who have pistols with other shrimp with no issues.... I believe the only risk with the pistol in the 5g would be if after it built the burrow, the skunk attempted to enter...

congrats!

I think that urchin is neat looking even though I can understand why you'd want to move it...

The November 2007 Aquarium Fish International magazine has an article by Scott W. Michael on gobies. Specifically he briefly mentions that Gobiodon citrinus from Okinawa was reported to feed heavily on stony coral polyps and mucus, with a minor portion of its diet from algae, copepods and...

That pretty much sums up how I decided medicine/biology was not for me...that and my inability to get any decent marks in science (dang you westinghouse judges!!!) ....oh and blood...that scares the wits out of me... :P

welcome Martin! did you feel the earthquake today? it was far away east of you but hope all is well! I'd be interested to see what kind of fish stores you have in PR. Anyways - as my colleagues sign to me in PR... Saludos, Phil
