    No idea what this is...

    I fixed your post for you. Wonder if I can break out the 10g and grow a tank full of this stuff...

    No idea what this is...

    I was sifting through the sand in the old tank (hoping to find my giant spaghetti worm, which I didnt) and found a small rock with a few zoas on it as well as a few things I initially thought were some form of red bubble algae. But, they appeared to have some sort of lighter pink mottled pattern...

    Yep, plain old gravel. I picked up a bag of natural gravel at Petco for a few bucks.

    Mark's 90 upgrade

    Well, tired of procrastinating. Had the day off. Started at 6:30am with an empty tank. Finished transferring livestock at 11:45pm. Added 1 purple firefish, 1 juvenile picasso clown, 1 yellow watchman goby, 1 tiger shrimp to the crew. Debating on anthias, flame angel, or melanurus wrassse as...

    Should I go with this... Or this... I'm leaning towards the second one as its a bigger, and I do have a 90.

    Thanks for the advice all. Think I'll go with a male melanarus, a juvenile clown, and a yellow goby/pistol shrimp combo. I was under the impression that with a Tang and a Clown it would be best to introduce any new fish during the changeover. Is that not a good idea?

    So what creatures in your tank have hurt you the most?

    Fell asleep with my hand in the tank. Margarita snail took my thumb down to the bone.

    Hi all. Tank is coming together. Planning on doing some livestock switchovers on Wednesday and could use some help. Question 1: I was planning on just catching fish in current tank, placing each (individually) in 1/2 gallon plastic containers, floating containers in new tank while acclimating...

    Raising Blackworms

    Could do that. Any brown, unbleached paper or cardboard would work. Basis is that the enzymes that break the paper down put nitrates into the water that the worms survive off of. The plant does the same thing but requires only a cup or so water change every once in a while and doesn't leave any...

    Good to see you're not going overboard ;) I may have some time Saturday. Give me a call if you still need a hand (can also drop the 40 off).

    Raising Blackworms

    Thanks go to Paul B for getting me into this. It's probably the best thing I've done for my fish, though I am still waiting for the supermodels to show up. Please keep in mind this guide is written for 70-90g tanks. You may have to upscale a bit for a larger system. I'm unsure if it would work...

    First time making fish food, didn't come out half bad

    Heya Art, I make my own once in a while. I have a small blackworm 'farm' in a 5g tank, so that's the mainstay of my tank the past couple of months. I just made some supplemental food as well. I get a months worth of high quality stuff for $4 or so. I try not to make too much to avoid freezer...
