Starfish

Starfish (5/13)

  1. Its a macro algae of some kind. Hopefully someone will chime in with species.
  2. Why are you not trying to get a reliable feeding response from him before you try to wean him? Wouldn't it be easier for you to wean him after you are sure you can keep it healthy?
  3. We use Pet Dominion in Rockville and they have proscribed interceptor to us before for use in our tank.
  4. Friday night will be fine. I didnt leave work tonight till almost seven and the red line was empty from Farragut North to Glenmont
  5. There is a noodles within walking distance (right across the street from the metro) and they are vegetarian friendly.
  6. dont forget to add Dshnarw and I to your list.
  7. I moved my tank a lot. What I recommend is one bucket for fish/inverts, one (or more as needed) for corals. I would save some of the current water to use when you get the tank to the new house, I always kept around 50%. Starting with all new fresh water sounds good but can cause issues with recycling. Leave just enough water in the tank to cover the sand but more than you think because you'll want to suck out the detritus that is stirred up after the move. After everything is in the buckets snap the lids on throw them in the car with the tank drive them over. When you get to the new house place the tank, add some water, unpack corals, then the fish/inverts. Top off the tank. Your move shouldn't be long enough that you need to worry about having heaters/air pumps in the buckets. I moved one of my tanks from KY to MD in a cooler with no air pump or heater.
  8. How cold are you planning on running your tank? Catalina's need around mid 60s if I remember correctly. We ran ours at 50...
  9. We had a 40g coldwater tank till the chiller went up in smoke. We already have a plan for a new one when we get the funds. A 60g 2ft cube isn't cheap made out of 1" acryllic. The acrylic will help maintain the temperature but it will also reduce the sweat factor on the outside of the tank. Another nice thing now is that there are cold water suppliers. Here is a link to the build thread for our old tank http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/176894-dshnarw-coldwater/

    They are just smaller on the one you have. If you look at the picture you posted you can seem them along the outer rim on the bottom on the left.
  11. Sustainable Aquatics is based there.
  12. Guy, it is also happening to customers in other parts of the country. See here for how this guy handled it http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=297868
  13. He'll fit in the tank, but keep in mind he may not pair with your goby. They don't always pair, but I enjoy them on their own even without the goby.
  14. We had ours until we lost power last summer and the tank cooked. A lot of our livestock came from Divers Den and a friend we had that lived in Oregon and would collect and send us stuff. Gulf of Maine sells cold water items. If I remember correctly the items found locally are used to warmer temperatures and are not suitable for a cold water aquarium. We kept the tank at 55 degrees. Also, I wouldn't recommend using the biocube because the glass is too thin and will cause a sweating problem in the summer. 1/2" to 1" acrylic is recommended to cut down on sweating.
