I know this is a very old thread, how are the mushrooms doing now? I have some I would like to remove from their current rock, but I don't want to kill them. thanks.

I have had a teenie (.5 inch) fighting conch in my 20g for about 3 months, and he is doing very well. I also have the 1" fighting conch my fiancee had in the 12g before we set up the 30g in the 30; we used a live sand bed and let the tank cycle for about a month to allow algae to build up for...

I know the MA part of MNAT already posted, but I have to tell you, WOW! that is by far one of the neatest octipus I have ever seen, congrats!

We have not tried to raise the larvae ourselves becuase while pepermint shrimp are considered by some to be relatively easy to raise, cleaner shrimp larvae are not so simple. they need to be fed rotifers and newly hatched brine shrimp intially from what I've read, which both need to be fed...

My fiancee and I have talked about this before. You have to check with the country for their import/export provisions. Some countries won't let you send livestock out of the country. If they do, you probably have to look into a permit of some sort to even collect the livestock. Shipping is...

We are currently running a live brine fish culture as we speak. We went to petsmart and bought a 1 gallon tank with an airstone for 15 bucks. We bought the brine shrimp eggs at Tropiquarium. You basically add saltwater and the eggs and wait a few days. Also, a very fine net helps with adding...

I am glad you went ahead with the octopus. I will be checking in on this thread to watch your progress.

I had a little bugger who took pieces from my frogspawn. I have one sitting in the old time out if you really want another. I have found when you have two they will molt and get big very quickly. If you have a big enough system you should be fine, I have one in time out right now if you want him...

My fiancee is bringing me up there for my birthday, love this store.

We just waited when we fed the whole tank and they come out eventually, then you reach in and grab the little bugger. We had several emerald crabs in our tanks and decided they were not worth the hassle.

The clam has been doing great, he moved around a bit but has fully attatched to an empty scallop shell. The hermit crabs use him as a jungle gym which annoys it every now and again, but he is open and looks great.

I'm the finacee previously mentioned in this thread, I started converted my 20G which has been running for four years from FOWLER to (baby) reef in November. I keep VERY simple corals, you can look at my transition on the "Her 20g" thread on the Nano forum. I upgraded my lights to 4 25w T5s...

We just went the whole nine yards, pulled everything out of the tank, drained it and removed all the crushed coral at one time. We then scrubbed the tank put down the sand bed and put the live rock back in and let the water clear. Once the water was clear we put all the fish and corals back in...

While I am no expert, we just did setup a 30g tank so we might have some tips for you. The Remora skimmer is a great choice, we have the same one and it does a hell of a job. We also added a cpr small HOB refugium to put some chaeto in to help out, I don't think you have to do it, put extra...

Looks great! love the rics.

Just ordered two pieces of coral from Dr. Mac and I am rather impressed with the whole process. I placed the order (40% off btw) and recieved an e-mail and phone confirmation when they shipped. The packaging was very well done and it was delivered early the next morning right on time. They also...

I just had to do my annual updating of the cleanup crew and it is a necessary evil. I noticed the difference in one day ind the decrease of algae on my sandbed. Hermits are always going to go after a shell once they want it so you are going to lose snails. Fortunatly, snails are very cheap which...

Sorry, Hawkeye should have looked back and seen who made the post. I confuse all of you gods who walk among us mortal reef keepers in these threads. ;)
