I would not try to remove it. It will probably move on its own since clams can move around using they foot. You got lucky my friend, congrats!

MaroonClownFan, I also live in Michigan (West Bloomfield). If you don't want the Asterina, I would love to pick him up. I'm trying to breed them so that I can feed my harlequins them.

If _all_ the fish and shrimp (would have to be large shrimp) were the size of the lion's max size. Could it be done without losing anything? I'm basically trying to see if there is any way to get some type of lion in a reef. I will be setting this up and doing the research on stuff for the...

Ok, my nano currently has a 65 watt power compact running about 12-15 hours a day. I bought 1 175w MH because I'm putting together my 75g tank. I want to put the MH in the nano for now and put the PC over my curing (it's actually cured now) LR bin to start growth of other stuff. My question...

Ok, I've got one 175w IceCap Electronic ballast coming in tomorrow with an AB 10K bulb. I have the oppurtunity to get a 250w PFO ballast from a friend for relatively cheap. Would it look bad if I had these two combo's running in a singe 75 gallon? If I used the same brand of bulbs, AB 10K...

The title pretty much says it all. What is the real differences? Thanks for your time.

The one powerhead is well under the water level (2-3 inches completely underneath). There is nothing else mechanical in my tank besides that. I thought at first it was my sand bed processing nitrogen. But there's just to many. It also only happens when the lights have been on for about 8...

My tank looks great. But by the end of the day there are a plethora (I always wanted to use that word) of oxygen bubbles on the water surface, on the glass, on the rock, and my Xenia seems to attract some (it's scaring up). I dont have an algea problem, that I'm aware of. I scrap my front glass...

Not the best picture. The colors didn't turn out, but it is Brown, Grey, Blue, and White. You can see from the pattern how it would look in person. I believe it is a Maxima. Looking for it's value and if it's a good specimen.

I'm ordering Metal Halides for my 75 (I can use one for my nano until I make the switch to the 75) on Tuesday, but I need a light source until they come in. My ballast that ran my two PCs blew up and is out of comission so I'm desparate to find something that will work for a couple weeks...

Well my tank has been up for 3 months now and doing great. Starting to buy the equipment for my 75 gallon. By the end of the day there are alot of nitrogen bubbles in my tank and on surface of the water. It really hasn't bothered me much. However, earlier this week the Xenia had two bubbles that...

The water in a reef is turned over by a very large factor. Nothing that we can simulate in 'small' tanks.

Yeppers :). Feel free to e-mail me at 'tjkohler@yahoo.com'

I really like the rock layout of the 58, in fact, I'm tagging this so I can come back when I aquascape my 75.
