I have a lighting system for an Eclipse 3 29gallon tank that I would be willing to trade if you're interested. I sent you an email with the info.

Couple points: 1.) Nat I hope you realize that jwtrojan44 was defending you with his "fancy words craps". You may not want to start calling him names just yet. 2.) I have an eclipse system and know that they use regular flurescent lighting. If you paid 200 for it I think you really overpaid...

I have decided to get rid of the anemone because it has grown at a much faster rate than I had anticipated, and I have him in a 29 gallon tank. Because of his size, I can't make any coral additions to my tank because I fear that he will just run them over.

A pic of the anemone eating:

I live in the Northside of Chicago and I'm fairly new to the hobby (started in January). One of my earlier purchases was a Green Carpet Anemone to complement my clownfish that I now regret having gotten (the anemone, not the fish). If anyone is interested in trading or buying (or combination)...

Hi, Just wondering. Can a CC starfish coexist with a carpet anemone? I know that CC starfish is not safe with corals but what about anemones? Any comment would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Ron

Didn't get any responses from the reef side, so I'll try this room: Has anyone bought an anemone from SWF? I'm looking to buy a blue carpet from them and wondered about the size and quality of the anemone. A little worried since they do not have a guarantee for the anemone. Can you guys tell me...

On Feb 17th, I bought 2 shrimps (among other things) from SWF.com. One (blood red fire) shrimp molted on his first night and died the next day (complications during molting I presume, he lost his big claw). Since then, my other shrimp, the cleaner shrimp, has molted three times. Yes your...

I found these this morning on the glass of the tank. They look like eggs but I wanted to confirm. They are about a centimeter in length and is like a small mound (couldn't get a good picture from the side). I have cerith snails, 1 fighting conch, scarlet hermits, 1 cleaner shrimp, two false...

Found it! Thanks again. Have you been to the living sea aquarium in Park Ridge? Tons of salt water fish, not to mention their shark lagoon. Very pretty animals, but the prices are usually double those here! :eek:

Originally posted by doodle1800 One thing - I will give credit to The Chicago Aquarium in Orland Park. Those guys are top notch. Yes there are some good LFS's, but this thread was mainly to share LFS stories on how to handle ones that you know are full of it... Its real hard not to argue with...

Hello board, I was watching my tank this morning when I noticed in the back of one of my live rocks some sort of gas being released. At least that's what it looked like. It looked like thin streams of smoke coming through out the back of the rock. I came around another side and caught for one...

Well, those are the two interesting ones I have as of right now. That's pretty much because I don't have any fish yet! But next week I'll have some pretty cool critters/fish so maybe more pictures then! Thanks for the welcome!:)
