Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
my worst performer: exxon. I bought on a big dip and it hasn't stopped dipping. My only saving grace was I didn't put too much in. This is one reason why I haven't jumped into the cruise stocks...i considered buying on a dip but was afraid it would keep dipping...
best performer that hasn't...
Ugh - please don't get these. They (marbled crayfish) are genetic freaks and are an invasive species in most of europe. Every single one is a female and can reproduce without a male (which I believe do not exist).
Use to go to SH a lot but then after Super storm Sandy - the back bay areas changed. I'm glad to see that you found an area that shows the fauna has returned. When I used to visit we'd see dozens of hermit crabs and those temperate "nassarius" snails. The really cool thing we once caught in...
Thanks everyone! I had taken a day off and was away from social media and spent time with family. I had a little withdrawal the next day from being away from social media...:D
How did you add the nems to the tank? Did you add the water from the seller into the tank? It's possible the seller had ich and there were motile ich in the water. It could even be a prior purchase if you added the water in since ich can be a single motile parasite. A single one is totally...
My guess is that the fish you named a "male" was actually becoming a female as well. Since you purchased both at the same size, it is likely they were both sub-adult juveniles. You probably got them together from a store/online right? With the lack of a dominant female, both subadults will...
man i'm so out of it. Tropiquarium closed eh? it was a huge retail space. I remember when I first moved to NJ years ago and went to that place...it was 1000x bigger (literally) than anything i'd seen in NY.
Also to be clear guys - he needs ROTIFERS. You cannot see rotifers with the naked eye - it's impossible. A copepod is 1mm in size. A rotifer is 0.1–0.5 mm long. In other words rotifers are 10x smaller! Clownfish fry will NOT eat copepods or pods that are eaten by mandarins etc.
I highly...
Rotifers are not at all picky about whether the phyto is LIVE or DEAD. Rotifers can be fed something like this Reef Nutrition Phyto Feast. Should be able to find it in a local shop. It is normally refrigerated so buying online/shipping is not ideal in the summer unless they pack it right...
yep the article above says it all. vibex is the one we want. Obseleta is the doppleganger that lives here in NJ/east coast and isn't really safe in our reef tanks.
hey guys. thanks @redfishbluefish and @MadReefer for the mention. I don't do this commercially so my methods are probably not the most ideal/efficient but let's break this down.
What to do with the eggs in a tank.
Some people will give up on eggs that are not laid on a tile (easy removal)...
