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.
Catastrophe.
I got anxious and decided to set up the bc29. Moved the first batch from the 5g hex to the bc29. All survived.
Then I cleaned out the 5g hex, and prepared to catch the 17 percs remaining. I wanted the 10g to be the larvae tank.
So I caught them - just like I did the first batch...

I'm going to hit radio shack and get this tomorrow. I only need one, not 12. if you have one and would like me part with it - drop me a pm. Of course, if I don't hear from you by tomorrow, I'll have 11 extra. ;)
thanks guys. I am having a space issue now.
120 display (where parents are, and nest about to hatch in 24 hrs)
10g holding 19 baby percs (21 day old)
5g holding 5 baby percs (40 day old)
Only tank left is the bc29. I got to get the bc29 set up tonight. It'll be huge for them but I need space...
the tangs may just be under stress from being in a 90 gallon. Hate to bring this possible issue up.
I think chromis or similar dither fish would be the right move - as the tangs will cue on the dither fish being out and about and also come out. Anthias are also dither fish - so I'm not sure...
sorry george - when i wrote that i was thinking of someone else and quoted you instead. :P Anyways - I think the drive is worth it. But I would be in the dog house for a looooooooooooong time if I skipped out on the piano recital.
I've never been to something fishy - i assume that is also in...
Day 22, "FTS" Not exactly a ball, but a tight group of clowns, given they are occupying 1/10 the space of the 10 gallon tank. That is 17 of 19 clown fry. The other two are runts, not sure if they will make it.
I noticed that some of them have mis-barred "bars" - like the male perc. The bar...
I noticed last night my sea urchin had grabbed a hold of a disc of GSP. I didn't really much think twice about it and to my amusement I got some of these pics:

So I saw this comment on another board. Just want to make it clear - MACNA is not a swap meet. Macna is a place where a variety of speakers and hobbyists descend up on a single location for 3 days to talk/share/party (not necessarily in that order) and oogle at a variety of products. In the...
jawfishblocker 5000. Will the 6000 model be out soon? ;D
anyways - you could press your luck like me - I have a pair of pearlies and a firefish in an open top for the past year. Maybe the threadfin cardinalfish (my dither fish) make them feel safe? I dunno.
Just keep in mind if you use smaller microns and do not (as taz is doing) use them briefly only - then it will get gunked up very quickly if just left there.
fyi - for my rotifer cultures, the micron size I use is 53 to harvest.
i really need to get more filter bags. Been busy... :P
careful -
the listing says a 4400 model, but the picture is a 4460.

Spray paint also here. MikeNapoli had a thread and the first few posts was about painting his tank.
I did NOT spray paint the overflows. I dunno why - I just didn't.
interesting thought there...i have the same issue with my mrc. One day running great - then bam trying to overflow the waste collector. But placing a strainer (or sponge) on the intake - wouldn't that also lead to issues as it gets clogged up?
A thought (on this late night):
Employ filter socks...
3 days:
15 days: (that's a nickel for scale)
19 of the 100 are left. So my save rate is at about 20%.
As to why I'm doing this - why not! it is a lot of fun. yes work work work (any warcraft players?) but I haven't even thought about what is going to happen to them. Will I try and create a...
If the club needs a bunch of clowns for display to show we care about conservation - absolutely. I think ideally the clowns have to be 60 days old. They are eating cyclopeeze wafers exclusively now (yes no more baby brine shrimp).
The second batch born on January 8 -2010 is coming along. Here's...

I know in an earlier thread someone asked where everyone was. If the economy is still tanking like this - it explains the lack of activity.
I am not familiar with this group - but i heard they recently had a...
