"I drank what?" Socrates Moby

That guy is very nice! I have read that some species have an estimated life span that could be in the 100's! Very cool! Keep us updated, I have never had them because everything I have read about them in the aquarium says they are very hard to keep. moby

Are you mounting the tank in the wall? If not , it really does not matter which wall you set the tank beside. Moby

Hi guys, I have posted in the past some very short stories. The response has been very nice. Thank you for all the great feedback. Writers live for that sort of thing! So I have an idea, if everyone would like to play along. I am currently burned out on my two books in the works and thought I...

Probably not much different. Go with 14 k and the 50/50 if you want less blue but not too much yellow. JMO. Moby

Yikes! Mexican hospitals! Almost as scary as Turkish prisons! :scared: Moby

No problemo! Moby

In all seriousness, venus fly traps are tough to keep happy. The moss they are planted in needs to stay moist but not wet. Early morning sun is great but not full sunlight all day. I had several in an empty 10 gal tank with some little S. American poison arrow frogs. The fly traps lasted about 2...

MOBY my dear, always a pleasure hearing from you!!!! You too, you flatterer! :hilarious If you can't stomach crickets they will also do well with small meal worms, but you have to crush their heads (they can bite!) I have a thing about bugs Me too, centipedes make me scream like a little...

I had several when I lived back in Georgia, go to the pet store and buy feeder crickets. The smaller ones are best. Do not feed them hamburger, it will rot and the meat has a lot of unhealthy side effects like samonella (sp?) and other harmful bacterias. Feed them only about once or twice a week...

Just to be safe, monitor the ammonia and if it doesn't start to rise then try a dead shrimp. Even cured rock will cause a spike if it is sent to you and had any chance of die off. Remember, if you do use a shrimp don't let it rot, it only needs to be in there for a short amount of time. Moby

ihave a very large skimmer that fills a 5 gallon bucket every other week Oh my gawd! That makes me heave just hearing it! :hilarious Moby

The first time my teenage daughter went on a date and the young man drove. :scared: A told him "I have a hole dug out in the desert and if my daughter came home mangled or crying for any reason I would fill it with his stinking carcass." I also informed him that he would dig the hole for the...

IMO, the most important thing to remember is a feed variety of foods. Mysis is more nutricious(sp?) than brine but a diet of any one food is not desirable either. Moby

IM DEFINTELY NOT A MATH MAJOR OR FOR THAT MATTER EVEN VERY SMART BUT IF YOU BOUGHT A BLUE RING IN 92 AND HES BEEN ALIVE WITH YOU FOR ALMOST 13 MONTHS THAT WOULD MEAN THAT YOURE LIVING SOMEWHERE IN 1994 SO START UP THE DELORREAN AND HEAD ON HOME LOL! I'm living in the past! Its h*ll when your...

It smelled bad when you cut into it? Moby

Is this LR cured or uncured? This makes a BIG difference. Generally, adding live rock at intervals will prolong the cycle time. It is better if you are able to put in all LR at one time. Can I keep buying live rock now and then and just add it in long after it has cycled? Yes, but in small...

I flew into the airport and outside I hailed a cab. I said "Hey cabby take me to where the action is." So he pulls up in front of my house! I go upstairs and find my wife in bed with another man. So I say "Who said you could be here?" He looks at me and says "Everyone!" ~ Rodney Dangerfield Moby

Hi BrendaC, Is this a salt water aquarium? Sorry but you didn't mention salt mix so I had to ask. If you are using RO water then , no, water conditioner is not necessary. Also should I add the powerhead and heater while this tank is cycling?? Yes, this will help you have time to adjust...

Hard to say without knowing what species of flatworms you have. The LFS down the street had them and they destroyed the SPS in their display tank! I have heard that some do eat pods and once the pod population is depleted the flatworms will die off. Sorry I can't offer any more info then that...
