yea i know i got squirted by his "hydraulics" while placing him in the tank. thanks guys i will place him in the rocks next week

thats funny i had 7 lyre tails one dead one missing and one which is nearly finished his metamorphosis. in a week he went from bright orange to burgandy and his eyes are like a blue very different from the females. now the 4 females and one male get along great. schooling nicely

i just recently got a clam in a group buy with a missing foot. do you gusy think i should try and return it or will it be ok?

crack aint a little cheaper its alot cheaper. all you need is 5 bux to get high. with reefing you looking at a 100 minimum including livestock and equipment before you even get a buzz.

the problem is that the politicians havent just sold out to the oil companies. they also sold out to the corn lobby which is why we use ethanol which is corn based and not a sugar based fuel which burns cleaner and is cheaper. also if the algae thing works out as hobbiest we can set up algae tanks for harvest and make some money

that was funny. or you could get one of your other wives to get corals for you at their lfs so none of the wives thank you get stuff that often.

great cuz i dont have a saw. i will just cut it with pliers. so how big do these sheets come as?

how to cut eggcrate to put it on the tank and the process from purchase to installation. also how much does it cost relatively speaking

how many fish do you have in the tank and what is your filtration consist of. generally speaking corals dont really add to bio load but i dont wanna dispens any advice without additional info

my girlfriend is actually pretty good in supporting my addiction. i wonder if this will continue when we marry but i usually dont spend alot on impulse as i like to research livestock before purchase. last time i was at the store i spent 100 but i usually spend that or less on livestock

i notice alot of lps corals if properly fed dont need alot of light. or my personal favorite the sun coral. i love mine and it doesnt need any light so those are some options

wow. this is bad to say but i have a slight cyano issue and i felt bad but that growth is unnaturally rapid. what are your phospate levels and what chemical filtration have you employed? rowaphos or perhaps a phosban reactor.

doug, pm coming about tri color and orange ric if you have any left

i have one i got about a month ago from scales and it is doing quite well. all of the dead polyps are being replaced already and it is starting to come out even when the halides are on. though its usually when they are about to go off. it has an excellent since of timing. i feed it pe mysis and brine shrimp and it always comes out for that. i have it placed such that it doesnt get alot of light though so maybe that could be it.

thanx anyway. i have found some info

i would like to get some info on this reef lobster Enoplometopus debelius. i have one now which appears to not be doing well but since this is my first lobster i wasnt sure if he is doing badly and if so will he be able to recover. does anyone have experience with any lobsters in reef tanks? when it molts does it lose its color? or perhaps a claw? if it were eaten or otherwise damaged in that way i could blame my new blue chin trigger but his lack of interest in my shrimp and the lobsters' disappearance prior to the addition of the trigger makes me suspect othwise. advice?

thanx also if someone has a link to that thread that will be great. also with our scientific knowledge and the trends with quitting things maybe we can develop a patch or something for the cravings. skim away.

thanx again

i getting a wrasse this week so i need some eggcrate what is it listed under at home depot. i dont like to ask them (employees) because they dont know the store very well.

i had the same problem. i am going to get 5 more lyretails tomorrow which will bring it to 8. one is turning into a male and there is one other female that he/she doesnt bother but the third female can only come out at feeding it seems. it will be great to see them get along as i had the same theory about putting several in the tank as opposed to a few to spread the aggression

indeed i just upgraded from my coralife to a bubblemaster 200 and i can smell the difference. i thought i had good skimmate with the coralife till i saw a good skimmer at work. its time to start saving pennies. your tank will thank you for the additional skimming aability of a skimmer of at least 500 dollars.

i think the dendros are pretty to but a tad expensive. i paid 40 bux for my sun coral and have had it for like a month and its already recovering nicely and sprouting new polyps. i feed every day .otherwise it is easy also i keep it under a cliff for its comfort

ill piggyback here and say before i replaced my coralife it did the same thing and i only owned for a few months. it could be salt or debris stuck in the airline or algae in the motor or something. clean it really well and try it again

since you are all far and you and john live near each other i will go to doug's house first and then to your house again rebecca and finally to john's house. see you all then

well i have a hang on back fuge and i have another section in my sump where i grow macro and fauna and keep bad critters until i can find them new homes
