    Red Macro Algae, Small Black Snails

    I have a bunch of those mud snails in my reef and they have been in there for two summers. They seem to be reef safe and never go near the corals. They like the glass. Almost all of the crabs you can collect locally will live in your tank. You may not want to put them in there but they will...

    On Vacation

    The last time I went to Ocean City was great. I was surfing and I broke my collar bone and tore the bursa and rotator cuff. I got to be out of work for a few months which for me was always a good thing. I just think of it as a vacation with pain but I will take a vacation no matter what comes...

    Question for Paul B-Anyone ??

    Hey Qwik, crab roe is fine. I think fish roe would be better with more oil but I doubt it makes that much difference. Don't feed that stuff as a staple meal though. Only a few times a week if you can. The more fish oil you can get into fish, the healthier they will be.
