Unfortunately, my tank crashed during the october blizzard and never recovered. Literally everything died except for my poor Nemo. Even his mate and home died. Now he is swimming all alone with a few snails and i feel bad for him. I dont have the energy,or money for that matter, to try and...

3 timers moonlights/antinics on one sunpaq on second MH on third

I use 4 stage lights on my nano. I have a dawn, morning light, "high noon" light, afternoon light, dusk, and nighttime. 8am 65w dual antinic on/ moon off 9am 65w sunpaq on 10am 150w 14k MH on/sunpaq off 6pm MH off/sunpaq on 8pm sunpaq off 10pm antinic off/ moon on As you can see, my antinics...

I handwash them inside out and then boil um in RO/DI (no salt) for about 5 min. The discoloration of the sox is irrelevant to me, I never see the thing. Sanatizing for me is done with the boiling + the hyposaline.

I think clams are a lot more durable then we give them credit for. I had a maxima under PCs for over a year and had considerable growth. Unfortunately, it died from the stress of a crashed tank and a tank swap.

Did you try nanotuners? They specialize in pods.

TheGuyFromNJ: Sorry, my misunderstanding. I don't use discs for just that reason. The easiest way I have found is putty over opposite sides of the disc. Kind of like the setting used to hold a diamond in a ring. I putty from the top of the disc over the sides then really smoosh it into the rock...

Friend of mine in Florida tosses his in his sump. Apparently they make good clean up crew down there. Plus the pistol cracks are neat.

I use plain old gel superglue for SPS. Use a 1/4" drill bit to make a divit in the plug/rubble, fill the hole a bit with glue, go around the edge to seal the crack and then place in salt water. The water will cure the glue rather quickly. If that gives me trouble, i still glue in place, but...

Spear guns work wonders, just dont shoot the glass! ;D

I would say no smaller then a dime for size? As far as repair for the mother piece, it will heal the open wound up in a couple of weeks but the overall shape will be altered a bit for quite a while. Take your frags from the backside/less visible area of the mother piece. I would cut a section...

Actually, the reason pistol shrimp have their pistol is to catch food. "The shrimp snaps a specialized claw shut to create a cavitation wave that generates acoustic pressures of up to 80 kPa at a distance of 4 cm from the claw. The pressure wave is strong enough to kill small fish." (quoted from...

I just kalk drip overnight, every night. Much cheaper and parameters are always stable. The new pod has been up for 3 months now and even the Marco rock is turning purple.

I use all cotton thread to sew the soft frags to a piece of rubble. It takes about 4 weeks for the thread to disintergrate and in most cases, the frag is well attached by then.

If you have rather small fish, ie. juviniles, chromis, etc. it is possible that the shrimp may stun/attack them. Does not mean that they will though.

One thing I have learned about Ich is that it is also temperature sensitive. Once Ich attaches itself to a fish, it takes roughly 2 weeks <in fresh water> before it is ready for the next stage of development. In salt water however, the water temp is kept at a higher level and the ich can mature...

I have false percs as well. I introduced my 2nd one about 6 months after my first one and they hooked up in less then an hour. I hope you have as much luck as I did.

Clowns are hermaphroditic, they all start out as males. As long as you buy a juvinile, you could possibly pair them off. The type of clown will also play a role in the deciding factors. Usually the more aggressive ones like maroons are more difficult then say true/false percs. Sorry for your...

This whole idea of vitamin C does have some merit. In the human body, the main function of vitamin C is involved with the synthesis of collagen fibers. Osteoblasts, bone-making cells, use vitamin C to product collagen. They then create a web-like structure with the collagen fibers that calcium...

I had the Yellow, AKA Chiquita in my 15 gal. for almost a year. She hasn't grown any noticable size in the 1.5 years iv'e had her. I know they can get big, up to 8-9" I believe. Ill have to upgrade my tank if she has a growth spurt, way too much personality. We call her the "hall monitor". She...
