Cool thanks, your probably right, my son and nephew would start getting on my nerves after we walk through the door lol, as well as to many bathroom breaks away from the fun!

What about small kids? Like 7 and under

Event was great, good turn out, good food and lots and lots of corals.

Well I took off the seal I did yesterday and cleaned it really good and then prepped with alcohol, then cleaned again and resealed. I like the job I did so I will see how good of a job when I water test on Tuesday .

Thanks, I'm going to try it again with the bathroom thing, had one but lost it so getting another one. Just wish the HE silicone 1 was in black

Just the corner beads on both front sides and the bottom front going across the front of tank.

Anybody local to stafford that is very good at resealing tanks? Just need front pane resealed but want to make sure it's done right. I just did it yesterday but I'm not to confident on my work for the first time.

Even Pets plus down in stafford va sells thrive but I have not seen any of the water testing kiosk. Pets plus does have some type of set up through them i think where you fill up a tube and turn it in to them and they test it so you can plug the info in on the thrive website i think from what i heard last time i went in there.

I'll take a box of reef crystals

LOL

Welcome aboard! I'm also off courthouse in stafford.

Sounds like this is going to be fun! Thanks from a first timer

Phytoplankton and trying baby brine shrimp.

Update, It has been 7 days and it appears that all 4/5 babies are still swimming around. Looking good so far.

Had my share but seems to just pop up at times but very few, Just dont pop them if you can avoid it.

Ok, looks like i have the 4 I managed to grab. Got a vid and pic of them, looks like they are doing well. IMG_6423.MOV

I know its been tried many times and alot have failed but I am all in on trying to take solve this puzzle. I will keep everyone updated as I go through this. My cleaner shrimp released babies last night right around 1030pm and I did not see it in time because i was expecting it the next night. I was able to catch about 4 of them using a turkey baster. I put them in a round small 5g fish tank and stuck a wood air stone in it with a red light on the outside. Came home today and it appears that all 4 are still swimming around and if i lost any so far I only lost maybe 1. I know that I have a long way to go but with everyones help we are going to solve this some how. I will keep everyone updated as I really expect to start when my other one releases babies in a couple days or so. I will have the chad Vossen fry catcher by then so wish me luck.

Ok after a battle with ick with the little one he is better already and back with his girl. She likes him more after missing him while in qt for a couple days.

Very funny lol, where is that they are eating at? is that place something special you built for them.

no, i dont turn them off but i may start to being that for some odd reason it just started to show up. I clean the sponge atleast once a week though.

Paul, does your male chase/nip at the female at times?

Found out it was un eaten food. good thing is my reef octopus skimmer is doing an awesome job along with overflow. Guess my fish like every color flake but the redish pink flake lol, thanks for all the input everyone.

I just see it in my overflow on the sponge, took alittle piece out and its soft but not red, more so pink. i dont see it on anything other than sponge and i just I think i have seen it on there everytime i clean the sponge.

Noticed it in my overflow but everynow in then I will see it come up from 2 of my tanks?
