Hope this the right spot, but Christina’s Coral Cabin is having a 20% off everything in her shop on 3/3 for her 40th birthday if anyone is available to come on by [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a different kind of peppermint shrimp, a Lysmata Rafa. I thought they were camel shrimp at first too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Believe it or not peppermint shrimp but this kind. A friend of mine was having someone help with her tanks and they accidentally put this this peppermint shrimp in the tank and they ate 40 ricordias within the day! It has to be the ones with the horizontal line across the back and not the standard breed we see all the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone but sure you anyone say this post online but Christina’s Coral Cabin is having a free frag Friday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I currently do, both dwarfs and full size Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! It makes me feel better that he does have heavier sand on one side. I had it sloping left to right but maybe I’ll do it in the front to the back for more weight across a wider area Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone ever kept garden eels? The substrate I read needs to be 6” deep minimum but I do not want the whole substrate to be 6” in the tank. If I add 6” to just one side, do you think that weight not evenly distributed will break the tank? It’s a 40 gallon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone! I’ll just cut the inner lip to make items fit [emoji3526] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can I remove the top rim on a 40 gallon and have it not ruin the integrity of the tank? I’ve done it in smaller tanks, like 10 gallons, but the water volume in a 40 gallon makes me a little nervous. I don’t like the top rim as it makes it hard for items like a protein skimmer, etc to fit properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t see the answer anywhere but what/where are you getting the water you are mixing your new water from? I had an issue in the past, have some now cause haven’t had a chance to replace the filter in my RO/DI chamber. It throws it off just enough to wreak havoc with algae growth. It’s just a thought. Also, maybe you don’t have enough bacteria in your tank with all the water changes and Vibrant use. Don’t give up hope on your tank. We all go through this at some point. It’s frustrating for sure but hang in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys. With all the changes in these little nuggets over the years it gets harder and harder to figure out these random finds. Picked up this little guy yesterday while buying dog food at my local Petco. He was in the Assorted Clownfish tank and and I had to have him since my other clown lost her mate. Can someone help me identify what he is? Is he a black ice, black snowflake, bullet hole, something new? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just an update. Found my firefish last Sunday with a gash in his side dead in the tank. That was the last straw and I took all the rock out and caught the little devils. Come to find out they had been breeding and I think every time she had a clutch she would kill anything that swam by. Needless to say that break down distorted my tank. I lost a bunch of corals and 6 fish, but at least they’re out and I will just start replacing what was lost Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lost a lot of items in my tank as of late…all thanks to a mated pair of pistol shrimp. It’s a long story, but they’re out of the tank now and the tank is slowly settling and getting everyone is trying to get back to normal after the disruption. However, I noticed my male Wyoming white is MIA. That’s odd for him to just not be with his mate? There is no body that I can find and nothing to kill him but he didn’t come out for feeding and that’s not like a clown. I think he might be gone. I’ll give it a few days however. If he is, I will need to get another cause having just one breaks my heart. I was thinking about adding a Maroon and seeing if I could do a Wyoming/Maroon pair. Is that possible? If not suggestions.
