Thanks! Thought so

I've also used them for last last couple of years on my acrylic seahorse tank. Weekly I do a 50% wc and scrub away with the eraser.just make sure you get the untreated ones... generally stay away from any "bathroom" etc ones that have added chemicals.

breaking down a temporary qt frag system and found this guy attached to a frogspawn frag. Thought i'd check before i dump it in my nano Thanks!

Welcome! Just moved to Manassas in February, glad to see more reefers this way!

Beautiful!

I was fortunate to win your 100$ gift certificate in the raffle yesterday and wanted to thank an awesome vendor for supporting the club. Businesses such as Avast are the reason why I continue to shop local!

Ahh I'd be happy to help, but I'll be at the meeting :(

Welcome!

Welcome!

Thanks Isaac for the offer. Actually I was looking at the one that I thought was battling vibro and am now leaning towards a)I'm a helicopter parent and was paranoid and b) he was switching colors on me due to the move and different tank colors. Anyway, I'm going to keep monitoring the situation... he seems happy enough in the hospital tank eating his fill of live enriched brine. I think it's all the buckets of water and the current 4 tanks (usually just 2) going in the office right now that is grating on the SOs nerves . I, like many on here, always skirt the line with my various tanks, especially on nights last night when we had to keep the generator going ! Jessica-- yes! Thank you, I couldn't remember where I saw that Alagen dispenser! If bottled phyto doesn't work I'm going to call them and see if they're still offering it as a backup option. Thanks WAMAS!!

Ah 20 bucks I could probably live with but the website was quoting me 51 for 2 day :(

Wow, 12 bucks a bottle for the rg complete, but 51 dollars for shipping... were you able to find this locally?

Thanks Dave, I think you just saved my brine shrimp... otherwise all the bottles and tubes were a hard sell to my SO.

Thanks Anemone for the tip, I'll try to reach out to someone in the morning!

woohoo, thanks for the advice Brian! I'm pretty sure i was thisclose to being thrown out when I explained recreating the food chain in the office. I dumped in the phyto that I had and pumped some selcon in along with the meds for the next batch.

Over the course of a big move, stuff hit the fan at my male seahorse's expense :(. No, he's not dead, just scratched, and if you've ever owned ponies, well... yeah. Anyway, I won't bore you with the particulars other than the mad dash (and rifling through my fish supplies trying to find this and that) to find brine shrimp (check), gut load them with meds to prevent, you know, death (check), enjoy the male playfully snick them up (check and whew!), 50 percent water changes and an army of airstones... and now here I am with half a Home Depot bucket of brine shrimp, aerated, with the phyto poured in that i had laying around (usually reserved for my clam). So suffice to say, I wasn't prepared to feed the buggers, other than my slurpee of phyto in the fridge. Like a good hobbyist, I've now taken it upon myself to try to cultivate and rear every creature big and small in my office and will be ordering a couple strains of algae mentioned in the previous posts in the forum and apparently chugging soda over the weekend. If you've kept with me so far, i'm really asking if anyone has any suggestions of some ready-made stuff to pour in (and how much) or if any of our lfs have some phyto available, 7-11 style until I can get my butt in gear?

Awesome work WAMAS!

love the speckles!

Howdy, I grew up in Easton! Welcome aboard! Some of my fondest memories were Skipjack sailing, crabbing, and all of the outdoor stuff the area has to offer. It's definitely become a larger town since I lived there, but you really can't beat the shore!

Very nice Cynthia! I'm still amazed it fit in your car Can't wait to see the new residents :P

Hi and welcome!

Yep Alan, that was me, though I'm sure many others made out with nems. By the time I shopped around on Saturday, there weren't many left. Anyway, formerly it was "nem that lived/survived in my bag during MACNA" and is now "nem that refuses to come out of the basket" Wish I could get a good picture with the yellow and green at the bottom.

+1 this is what I do with LRS/mysis/calanus (the last one happens to make it to the nem via my sun coral). My RBTA has grown since I got it in July, however the member I bought it from (see Oct tank of the month) had gorgeous nems that were never directly fed. Occasionally I spot feed though as I love the *NOM NOM NOM* trash compactor close they do .

Oh MACNA was so much fun! I had none of the burdens of planning and execution and all of the satisfaction of meeting other members and talking to people who are crazy about their tanks . Basket nem, aka martini since she's a lemon drop, was flipped upside down in said basket in a low light/low flow area for a couple of weeks. Then i tried higher up. I even "encouraged" it to move a few times using various methods of gentle nail encouragement, powerhead placement, and aloud readings of self help books. With moving on the horizon and 3 weeks of stubbornness, I've officially given up and she's happy in the basket, clipped to the side of the tank, with the neighboring live rock (also in the basket) that she's dutifully ignoring. Ok, now I sound like a total crazy person.

I think the word I was trying to find is trademarked. Or something
