toastiireefs February 2, 2008 Share February 2, 2008 This has to be a first. therre are toilets with aquariums BUILT into it there has to be something bad aout that, with all the ammonium in your bathroom i heard that by flushing your toliet you aerosolize some of the chemicals, so always close your toliet seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshnarw February 3, 2008 Author Share February 3, 2008 Just make sure the lamp doesn't fall into your bathtub while you're in there - BZZAT! I'm not much for baths...showers are more manly That's a temp light until the clamp-on light gets here. I also have a glass top I put on when cleaning and such, and if it starts causing issues when cleaning, I can always just pick it up and move it for a minute...only weighs 30 lbs or so. I don't have to top off very often, which is nice - steam from the shower condenses enough to take care of it most days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshnarw February 4, 2008 Author Share February 4, 2008 well, i guess if the tank crashes, I know why but at least I'll have only killed a pest crab and some pest anemones I can't imagine anyone would get too upset over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshnarw February 5, 2008 Author Share February 5, 2008 I've seen pictures somewhere online of toilet aquariums... someone will have to look that up http://www.fishnflush.com/ I got the *real* light fixture today. Much nicer - bluer color from the actinic (makes the majanos look much brighter green/pink), clips onto the side of the glass, so no worries about it killing me in the shower.

extreme_tooth_decay February 5, 2008 Share February 5, 2008 i heard that by flushing your toliet you aerosolize some of the chemicals, so always close your toliet seat Yep...and not just chemicals get aerosolized... Did you see the Mythbusters episode where they left some toothbrushes in a typical bathroom for a month and tested them later? They found fecal coliform on all the toothbrushes...even some they kept in the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshnarw February 5, 2008 Author Share February 5, 2008 Yikes! How disgusing is that? well, considering that every time you pass gas, you release a bit into the air it's not so surprising (and if you smell it...guess where else it ended up ) Sorry for the disgusting moment, but fun gross science facts are fun to pass along, and one reason why I'm not overly concerned by it (especially with a pest tank). you don't even WANT to know what you can find on your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber has been fussing for some with the new light. (Oh hey, off topic, but good place for it - do you need any help shipping for the Valentine's day swap? Amber mentioned you might.)

dshnarw February 24, 2008 Author Share February 24, 2008 the majannos are kinda pretty/cute too bad they multiply like crazy Oddly, I haven't had a new one pop up yet Anyway - found a fish eater today, thought it fit the bill: Psuedocorynactis The guy at Roozens (whom I'd never seen there before) kept trying to talk me out of it, until I didn't flinch when we watched it catch a starfish twice it's size and attempt to swallow it.

dshnarw February 24, 2008 Author Share February 24, 2008 what kind of nem is that? Pseudocorynactis. I think the common name is orange ball anemone (But it's not an anemone...it's a mushroom).
