  1. awesomeee!! i got my kenya for $19.99 and since this is an internship project and my partner and i are paying from our own pockets, we are kind of on a tight budget so are you guys going to be selling kenya for cheaper than $19.99? possibly?
  2. PHEWWWWW!! i was bout to freak out xp thankyou thankyouu~
  3. there is something wrong with my kenya tree coral! now its all scrunched up and seems a little darker, it looks very unhappy. i was out for the last for days, but my partner, who was here, says that yesterday it was looked fine & normal, and the only change we did to the tank was scrub the glass with a algae scrubber and adjust the salinity a little. anyone know what might be wrong with it? & maybe what we can do to fix it? (ill post up a pic of my kenya tree a little later tonight, if it helps...)
  4. goooood pointt ill ask thankyouu~
  5. ok hopefully the classroom will be unlocked or my teacher will somehow allow to get a key or something to get in. ooor if not ill see if i can make friends with one of the janitors xp sike x] thaaaaaaankyouu~
  6. Since winter break is coming up and my aquarium is in the school, can i get some suggestions on what i should do with the live stock that i have over the break? I have an empty 30gal fish tank at home right now, should i set that up and being the live stock home with me over the holidays? btw... our winter break is from 12/22-01/02 so i feel like itll be too long to just leave them in school with no one to watch/take care of them

    what do you mean by they are "burned"? is sounds really bad... what can i do to unburn them?
  8. right now i think it might either be dead/dying, but yea i have a lot of caves so ill try it. right now all i have is liquid plankton, & i wont be able to go out to buy anything until probably wednesday, so should i try squirting some of that in there?

  16. i actually just bought 3 new coral on... monday i think...? i need to research more into them, buuut im dumb & forgot to ask the species name of the coral -____- but he guaranteed that they were very hardy and good for reef aquarium sooo im hoping they are alright. hes helped me before so... yea =p i posted the 3 coral in my "Please ID" album, so id be really helpful if someone can help me ID them~
  17. what you plan on doing: raising a small coral reef environment what you currently have: filter, heater, power head, air stones, protein skimmer, 3 coral, a polyp (hitch hiked with live rock) what you would like to do: research interaction with certain organisms in a reef environment what the research involved: various coral species, 2 clownfish, typical cleaning crew organisms, 2 serpant stars where Wooton is: rockville, maryland Tank dimensions: -height: ~23" -length: ~25" -width: ~18" Lighting: 15 watts (2 lights) Filtration -biological: 31lbs of live rock; ~55lbs of live sand+crushed coral Stocking Plans: Bubble Anemone 2 Ocellaris Clown Fish Brittle Sea Star 3 Serpent Sea Star 2 Peppermint Shrimp Banded Coral Shrimp Electric Blue Hermit Crab Orange Marked Hermit Crab Dwarf Red Tip Hermit Crab Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab Emerald Crab 2 Bumble Bee Snail 2 Astraea Turbo Snail 2 Nassarius Snail 2 Cerith Snail (these are what we are definitely getting, we may add some later when we get everything scheduled or if we have enough money in our budget) Budget: $<200 on live stock; ~$200 equipment (we're more flexible on equipment $) Research Question: how do coral develope into colony to create a reef ecosystem? (something like that) Plans for this tank afterwards: this project is also an excuse for us to start a saltwater aquarium, so after the project i will pick it up as a new hobby. also i am planning on taking a marine biology major in college so this is a good experience for the future anything else?
  18. im science interning @ wootton high school. what other information does wamas need to know? oh also, i have a 35 gallon tank & its the tall kind (rather than the typical long ones). i was just wondering how much light i would need for it since apparently the one i have no was said, by a store employee, to be too weak.
  19. for my internship project, i am raising a saltwater aquarium, however, its really poking holes in my wallet and, for an internship project, it is quite pricy. does anyone have any suggestions as to where i can find grants to help me pay for this project?

    the store employer picked the live rock it was attached on for us & exposed it to air for a while, but i read that sponges should never be exposed to air sooo... it might be dead -_____-
