Looks like a limpet. If you do a search on that, you should find lots of info. Some ppl say they eat corals, but the ones in our tank just like to cruise on the glass and eat whatever is there. They do travel on the rocks, too, but we haven't noticed anything valuable gone missing. Hope this...

Don't be discouraged by those who weren't successful with this method, it worked just fine for us.

Not sure what you're asking about--if you mean something like a Brita filter that screws on to the faucet--generally it is considered not good enough filtration. If you are asking about an RO/DI unit which can be placed under the sink and plumbed into the line there, that is considered the best...

you gotta have a character named the salt creep

Just FYI, it is not recommended to list other vendors on this site since this site is sponsored by a vendor of live rock, fish and equipment. You may find your post deleted if you do so. It's sort of a courtesy thing.

We didn't know we had several of these until moving some rock around and one fell off the underside--since then they have grown enormously! We never see the whole critter, just the arms, and then only at night. Ours reach out and grab any small bits of flake food--its neat to see how they move...

Just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of epoxy-ing rock together, it seems like it takes several attempts to rearrange, and even then, rearrange again in a few months. Do try to make it stable! Have fun!

What a shock! Looking at the tank late at night, I found a purple spiny urchin, about the size of a nickle. Must have come with some live rock, MANY months ago--now that we know its there, do we just assume it will continue to eat whatever it has eaten up to now, or does it require some special...

We have seen ppls tatoos, piercings, cars, etc, I guess we can tolerate someone expressing their interest in something OT once in a while. :) mom says, play nice.

now you're out of my area of expertise. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!

I'm certain you washed your hand off really well with something like hydrogen peroxide. or at least soap. so you should be ok. Keep an eye on the bites to see if they get really red, swollen, or icky looking (that was not meant as a joke) (but it actually is pretty good, eh?) Don't stick your...

the manufacturer is AZOO and the little tanks are called Palm tanks. Can't find good specs on line, since they are usually used for betas, the volume doesn't seem to be an issue. Good luck!

If you are hesitating to buy a RO/DI system (by the way, we have one attached to our laundry room sink--so easy even I could attach it, and that is saying something!!!) You could purchase filtered water from a free-standing unit at many Wal-Marts or even grocery stores. Some people recommend...

Going to be 50 in the fall, my motto is "I'm gonna grow old but I'll never grow up."

just checking to see what my profile says. edit: what a boring person!!!
