i recieved my blue ribbon eel by mistake (posted earlier) i have had it for just over three months and it is fine. although i have not seen it eat, a number of things have gone missing! such as cleaner shrimp and one small daqmsel. in my opinion the eel has been feeding on these items. but as...

i had the same problem with the hydrometers. i only use a refractometer now. the only way to go. also be sure to clean your hydrometers thoroughly after each use if you stick to that method. goodluck.

i use zoecon and have had no problems. i mix the zoecon into some frozen brine shrimp and then feed the mixture after a few hours. never clouded the water as such though.

i have a 2" rectangular trigger which had to be housed temporarily in a fish and invert tank. within two weeks he had killed 8 trochus snails! he would eat about half and then leave the rest which would cause ammonia problems unless they were immediately removed. he is now in another tank! no...

thankyou rmc but cannot seem to get your e-mail address from your post.

i3luedragon, i think you are reffering to a ups. these can run alot of computer equipment as the equip draws verry little current. i tried using my ups computer backup on my tank and it barely would run 3 fluorescent tubes! of course you can go for higher power but they start to get very expensive.

someone had suggested that he be moved and if he was not allright then move him back, that is why the double move. if he is ok then obviously i would leave him in the 75.thanks

i am also using a bakpak2 skimmer on a lightly stocked 170gal 8to be replaced soon) the skimmer cannot be setup as per instructions, in my opinion. this is a design that works but needs to be customized to suit different set-ups. i leave the airline controller off and the skimmer is placed about...

this might sound ridiculous but here goes: i have had a small tridacna clam die (about 2hrs before this posting. can i feed this to my undulated trigger? the clam is in saltwater and is deffinitely dead, but will obviously decay very quickly and probably become toxic. any info would be great.
