If they were really amphipods, I don't think they could "kill" a coral...do you have a pic of the amphipods?

Oops...no I meant how about a pic of your tank....! But if your cam is over there then oh well... :)

Re: Here's my 120 looks like a very big serpent star...

Mike...i know you were at AqOb....how about some pics??? ;)

Dang it! First I miss that mixer special...now this!

Great tips everyone...more food for thought when I get the tank up and running. twan - what does the CGEF mean? If that is a bad word, mod - please pm me so I can adjust this post... ;) How can you not love a talking lobster? No matter how bad or unsuccessful I am, I can always count on dr...

Whatever you think a hermit can do - a species of snail can do better... For dead things - there is nothing better than a clutch of nassarius vibex snails...be careful about getting the temperate species Illynassa obsoleta...you find those usually on ebay from sellers in north carolina...

That diagram looks almost like a skinner box - except the "electricity" is coming from the top instead of the bottom...and the "LR" looks like some bugs/cloud of bees... Brings back memories when I studied animal behavior using a skinner box. Anyways - I'm not as certain that the cuke was...

wow a lot of pics... what happens in a tie? is there a run-off?

Fry had it made with those worms....similarly I'd think my tank is fine with the city of scavengers...LOL. c'mon with supporting cast of zoidberg and amy wong...how can you go wrong? hmmm...so I guess I QT when introducing new batch and shake it silly when trimming...

I call dibs on this freebie...

here's one of two RES turtles...I know she's not as pretty as the rest of the herps on this thread, but she's been with me for over a decade now...she lays eggs every summer... though hatchlings would be cool...RES are an invasive species in the rest of the world and parts of the US...really...

I was just over at AqOb today and they still had a few cleaner Lysmata amboinensis shrimp in their tanks...been there since the anniversary sale as I recall.

I qt'd my first (and only) batch of chaeto...the amphipods and worms scurried about in the tank...just didn't know if I should have or not. What about any dip/solutions? any thoughts about the trimming question...I feel like I'm messin with a community of scavengers...lol.

Re: Here's my 120 would love to see a FTS...

lol - love the names... on the left side of the pic - it looks like a queen conch - but you don't list that in your livestock. If it is...your tank is pretty bare now (algae wise)...might want to consider dropping some nori at night for the conch. Good luck~!

So...I had the unfortunate choice of using one of those small HOB fugs on my 55. I'm in the process of re-doing everything with a larger tank but I have some questions that I never did quite figure out. People talk about trimming chaeto to help remove the nitrates. I understand this concept...

I disagree...I think you can do it for about the same with superior products... Remember - it's $250 with a Rio. $300 w.Mag9.5 So take this hypothetical example - you drop a tunze DOC 9005 skimmer in your corner...it runs for $255 (free ship)...if you wanted the 950gph from the mag 9.5 - just...

The bio bubble and the freedom filter...yes! As for jellies...I can see it now...Buy an Aussie Acan, get an Aussie Box Jelly for free! Pick either cute little Carukua barnesi or bigger sibling Carukua barnesi. Got a problem damsel in the tank? Box Jelly to the rescue! dry humor alert!

i forgot about the mag 5 recommendation...yep I put a mag 7 on it and it works like a champ!
