I am a minister( no pay)...my hubby works in media services at a college...we are happily ensconced in middle class...lol.

this isn't me...it is my husband, but look close -- he seems to be in the gaping jaws of a shark...lol

The perfect proposal is the right person asking at the right time to spend the rest of their life with you...nothing more and nothing less...

thank you for the advice! I know about the pods for the dragonet...that is why I am waiting for him...I want to set up a fuge tank and grow them. I also found a few places online that sell live pods. As for the gorgonians...thanks for the heads up on the algae thing...I will take that under...

Well-we did things a little different. I proposed to him. I fell in love with him on our first date...and I kept it quiet for a long time (over 2 years) ...he finally said the "L" word on Valentines Day in 2002...I was ecstatic. He moves very slow though. Finally, after much thought and...

I have done SW a lot in the past...18 years ago it was my job to set up tanks. I also had 9 of my own. I have taken a 5 year break due to illness and finances...but have my new 125 FOWLR set up running and cycled. Lights and filtration are good (I did a lot of research) and I have live rock...I...

While it has been done with a type of success-to avoid a stressful situation in your tank I would avoid having 2 angels together...I am sure that opinions will vary.

I would wait at least 6 months---more like 8 to put in a tang...

I usually drip acclimate for at least 1 1/2 hours...more for a fragile fish. What other fish do you have? How long has it been running? What kind of fish are you adding?

Hi...I know that I have to wait a few more months to get a tang...this isn't my first SW tank...but I was wonderring about a purple tang in a 125 gallon FOWLR set up...do you think he would be happy? I know the Naso needs at least a 180...but what about the purple?

how are you acclimating them? I reccomend the drip method described in detail on this site...what are your water parameters?

Another thing...try frozen foods...

fridmani like to hide...so there is a possibility he is okay. Try peeking in crevices and see if he is hiding...

great! I was hoping to get positive responses. At some point I want to have a manderine...and pods are the food of choice...lol. My hubby is unablre to help with the plumbing of a "real" refugium, as he lost an arm in an accident...so I am on my own. :jumping: Anyone else?

Has anyone had any success with the prefab refugiums? I have seen both HOB and in tank models. I wanted to know if it would be possible to grow pods in either of these...anyone have thoughts and/or experience?
