surely someone who has cheato in their own tanks can give/sell some? I used to grow the stuff and constantly had to throw it out. I supplied everyone I could here. I've stopped using chaeto so unfortunately cannot do the same today.

Are we sure the fish (especially clownfish) aren't afflicted with Brooklynella? ATJ's Marine Aquarium Site - Reference - Brooklynellosis

Sorry I missed the monday "meeting". Would have been nice to see mike and nikki again but oh well. I'd be happy to help take a frag and also agree with mikem about temporarily keeping it until you have time to take it back.

I picked up a pair of fire shrimp and a cleaner. Nice to see mad reefer and a few others. Sorry I was late!

I will be a little late. hope to be there by 2.

The last time they had MACNA in Orlando there was a behind the scenes tour at Sea World. It was a fantastic tour and I got to meet revhtree and his wife from reef2reef. My only gripe is that it was super hot that day. I remember because we met the sea world employees outside and we were all...

I can't speak for the softner/detergent - however assuming you are using generic bleach (no special additives, not the color safe bleach) - it is going to be sodium hypochlorite (aka Liquid bleach). Exposed to oxygen, bleach will "unbind" and become totally safe. In other words, after you...

Sorry i missed it. I went to a doctor on thursday and was told if my condition didn't improve, that I'd need a chest X-ray and likely i'd have pneumonia. Thankfully i'm feeling much better after taking the antibiotics but apologies for not making the meeting!

i was going to guess a mantis shrimp but based on your tank inhabitants you must have had this tank for a while...and a mantis shrimp isn't something that escapes attention easily. What other inverts do you have?

He must know the saying..."happy wife = happy life". My tank barely survived hurricane sandy. Looking forward to your new build. Welcome!

Thanks for arranging the salt buy and thank you @ecambero for letting me come by so late to pick up!

Was this a bangghai? Pterapogon kauderni? Pterapogon kauderni (Banggai Cardinalfish) The life span per the link above is around 2.5 years. Might be longer for the tank bred specimens.

If you are on facebook i suggest posting it on the clownfish breeding page. The folks there are pretty fast in responding. MOFIB as a site is pretty dead but that would have been the other site I would check. My 2 cents - from what I understand the first one or two batches the parents may...

saw that. Happens every year but this year it's been much worse.

Had a setback today on Day 3. Lost about 50% of the fry. I don't think my rotifer counts are as concentrated/as high as they need to be. I will persevere with this batch but if things continue to go south - I will try again when the clowns lay again (which should be any day now). That will...

congrats on being a parent Ha ha. I believe hermits initially would require a food source that is too small for your tank to sustain. But if you are serious about trying to save them - you could attempt to remove the fry via a Vossen Fry Catcher. Move them to a separate tank with a small...

more joining the party.

Last night....became poppa to 3 of these. The rest of the clownfish eggs should be hatching tonight. Not sure why these hatched early (or conversely why the rest are hatching late).

what a great video. He is right - his CFO is probably really mad at him.

You guys must be young ha ha. The original store was called That Fish Place (TFP). The business model was like Costco - a huge warehouse where you get goods cheap. But don't expect expert advice. The "biologists on staff" are just names they give to the summer staffers. There is a large...
