  1. sorry to hear hope to have you back
  2. I have never seen that, but I have come down to find a claw less CBS with a big sally lightfoot chomping on the claw. And even though there is NO need for defense in feeding, think of snakes eating mice or even feeding your fish live brine (smaller CBS) Your mantis looks amazingly healthy and happy which is all that matters.
  3. Try cutting tassels in it. So that the clip looks like a mini brush when you are done and they can pull little strips off rather than chew at the whole big piece. But if they eat it you will know, they rip at it.
  4. It would definitely be more arrogant and want to be red with gold polyps! If it wasn't red on red
  5. HAHAH I told you to do this too......the biggest one at Scales was one I took back in after eating all my shrimp!!!!!!
  6. Much improved....keep up the hard work it looks good.
  7. Ok few more questions...... Bulbs for the T5 36'' retro kit? I will be adding 2 (one front one back) T12 actinics........so what four bulb combo? Thinking..... T12 Actinic ATI AcuaSun ATI AquaBlue ATI ProColor ATI Blue Plus T12 Acinic What about wattage? 24w or 39w? it is the 660 running 4x36'', andI will be getting either another 660 or a 430 to run the T12s. Tank is a 65g tall and I want to grow everything? Thanks for all the help thus far.
  8. been to discovery cove. Don't recall much "live" coral but I'm sure there was some with the number of parrot fish they had. I'm guessing he stubbed his toe early and swam around all day. I never left the water, except to get the free (included nothing is free) beer. I was in the water for 8-9 hrs if i had any cut it would have become gangrenous.
  9. Just had one that took down 2 peppermint shrimp and a fire shrimp, also picked up a few snail and ripped them out...........very opportunistic omnivores will eat smaller fish also. IMO for larger tanks only
  10. Ok so I have read over most of "Grims" suggestions. I will be doing a 5 bulb retro and here are my 2 options what do you think. ATI Blue + AquaBlue AquaSun AquaBlue ATI Blue + or ATI Blue + UVL 75/25 AquaSun ATI Blue + AquaBlue
  11. so what combo would you use for say a 5 bulb setup?
  12. he is gorgeous....The tank looks awesome.

  14. some of the nicer looking Picasso clowns I have ever seen. interesting deal you all have going here, this is why I love WAMAS.
  15. Unless they are fertilized the crab will one day just sit in one spot and pick caviar off her belly, seen it happen 3 or 4 times now
  16. here here .............Thanks to all for the good help and products that are few and far between around here!
  17. the tank is stunning, i love the sailfin, and I see you needed to move the frag rack to the glass to make some room. The 500$ eflo is nice I want one eventually.
  18. From what it sounds like I would stop doing the kalk water drip to bring down your alk. Your Ca seems like it is at a good level and you dont want to add more. Some water changes and not adding anything should bring it down naturally.
