Day 7 FTS. Still quite a few are alive. Although the big test will be how they get thru meta. I removed most of the filter on the light (i was only allowing maybe 10% of the overhead light to go thru. It's a standard NO light for a 10g AGA tank. So pics are with full light below (not that you...

well ixnay the 40% more. Down to 5 in the second batch. I really am puzzled. Maybe I'm only good with odd numbered batches? lol.

JR - you should stop by one night when you are on your way in to practice. I assume the knee is well enough now to work out. 40% more - you are too funny. Yeah well that sounds good except I was like at 300% more before! I ran into a problem on wednesday. I had a long day at work and didn't get...

oh here's some fun for those of you subscribed: chia-pet sea urchin

wow - i neglected this thread while i was busy padding the clownfish log. ;D First batch - remains at 5. I'm really proud of them - they are looking great in the bc29. Second batch - this has been a catastrophe. I went from 17 post meta to now 7 left - huddled together in a 5g hex. third...

Thanks Qwik - i feel like I could do a better job though. I also think they are small because of the lower nutrition value. I've lost two more clowns from the second batch. Down to 7. Pretty sad if you consider just 4 days ago I had 17 past meta. I really think the nutrition on them was bad. I...

Thanks Dan! They are really fun and cute to look at. 3rd batch update: Lost another 18 since last posting. This brings the total to 24 dead. I'm not sure if these were the result of transfer deaths or lack of food. I've been pumping rotifers into the tank and phyto - but maybe the lighting...

wow that is some serious plumbing in the basement! I am jealous! great job!!!

I don't like having a sandbed in the fuge. In my opinion it becomes a dirt trap unless you are sieving everything thru a Filter sock before the water gets to the fuge. I use a stack of frag discs in towers to serve as some kind of hiding spot for ampipods/copepods. I like mine bare bottom so I...

So fess up - besides smcooler - who went? I want to hear about how awesome it was. I went to a recital (there were 3 that day) and endured the longest day of piano music ever. At least, it felt that way.

buckwheat!

that's a great deal for those fish. how big are the percs? best pm me before my wife reads that...lol!

really cool. I wish I lived closer to trop. I noticed a frag in front of the bsjawfish home. Be warned - their digging behavior sometimes causes them to dump mouthfuls of sand on the nearest frag. Also my pearly likes to grab pepples/frags (if he could) and line the entrance and at night even...

3 pages of suggestions! ;D http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=22763.0

JR - it's like a hundred bucks for a 6 gallon tank. I saw these being sold at TFP in lancaster. The design is cool and small - but at 6 gallons (even less when you add sand/lr)- you are really limited to what can be added in the tank. Also the surface-air exchange is poor because it only has...

welcome charlie! I agree with nick. Go with something better than the maxi-jets. While cheap, mj-s produce a bit of heat to the tank and also tend to be a rather focused blast of water. I've never used the mod's -but if you are pinched for money - i guess that would be an alternate route.

thanks - i should have thought about talking to you. Completely forgot. You and Rod. Oh well. So the best news - is that maybe this experience (losing 9 clowns in a day) was worth it as this third batch is doing remarkably well so far. 3 dead on day 1 (morning after), 4 dead on day 2. In my...

I thought I knew the answer to this - and it was would have been 3 weeks. It worked flawlessly with the first batch. BUT i'm starting to think the first batch were super healthy because they had all that food in there with them. The second batch - I want to say I messed up by trying to corale...

i saw that! they say the drivers went on the shoulder to get by!

i may just add them into the main display when they get bigger...then it'll be a big pair with a bunch of juvies. I dunno yet. Or I could part with them. It will be hard to do. For the 3rd batch I've lost 3 fry today. This is pretty good I think - but tomorrow will be more telling. I've been...
