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.
thanks everyone. and yes - going to see a movie with the wife is going to cost me. At least i'm not bringing the kids - then I'd be dropping a benjamin franklin.
thanks guys.
The other variable - i'm not 100% sure - is that I did turn out the lights early - and i noticed the fish made a beeline into the glass because of the pc monitor glow. I dunno if that had something to do with it because the bulk of the fish dead were suspiciously near the side...
CRUD! i jinxed myself!!!!
I woke up this morning to find 32 of my precious guys on the bottom dead. ONe of them had a stripe too - I have no idea what just happened. Feels like getting slammed on the head first thing in the morning. All that effort.
I feel like I am still "winging it" and not...
Batch 3 pics.
Here are some pics to show you the development on day 12. It's about 7pm (3 hrs before lights out) and they finished all the bbs. I had to turn out the light early so that they don't use up their energy hunting for nothing.
This is a corner shot. When you see them clustered like...
lmao - i did that when I was unemployed. Then I went on Ebay and sold the stuff i won via the video games.
yes - (shudder) i was a very addicted video game player. People actually would meet me online (in game) and then i'd give them the "goods" and they would paypal me. It wasn't a lot - but...
there's probably traces of nitrate...never bothered to measure since I basically do daily water changes.
Mind you if i had a real breeding system - i'd have a skimmer and lr etc in a sump somwhere.
I don't think there's any phosphate since i've just been feeding live food.
Here's a pic of the...
I'm just joking...
There's a lot of it in front of my driveway - welcome to take it for free.
;D ;D ;D
This road has been plowed several times already:...d'oh!
old thread i know - and I admit i am one of the naysayers. I think cheato is far more efficient for exporting nutrients in combo with a good skimmer.
But I will admit that in this hobby there are many ways to get there - so if it works for you - post up pics!
either way will work - as long as you approach it gradually. It's likely the fish adjusted to the higher sg over these past few months. It would be hard on them if you switched it back to 1.026 over a 48 hr period (or something).
beautiful mandarin! I should have gotten one. instead i have a fat aggressive yellow coris wrasse lol.
where's the GSP situated? I picked up some GSP from herbieK (thanks!) and put it on a disc. The thing is totally overgrowing the disc and trying to get off the sandbed now... ;D Jrwohler's got...
fred - spend the money and get a refractometer. Put up a WTB/want to buy - someone must have one available.
a few point off on salinity/specific gravity and you'll end up spending a lot more money replacing the deaths that occur due to improper water.
if they fight - you can be assured that the clownfish will be the winner since the crab has not real claws (the two pincers on the front appear to be more show than anything else).
You could always just get the "regular" porcelain crabs. They do not all have to be in an anemone. I got a hoard...
