Can anyone identify greggti's mystery hitch hiker? The more I look at it the more it bugs me. I would love to know what it is so I can get some for my tank! Moby

Where are your phosphates coming from? Do you use R/O DI water? If not the water change will do no good more than likely. Test or have them test your water from the tank and also from the source you are getting your water. Trying to find the source is the key and eliminate it. Moby

Sorry if that sounded snotty dcathey. It wasn't meant that way. What I was getting at is this particular subject gives a lot of new folks problems and is the subject of much discussion. My intention was to maybe put all this plumbing info in one place on one post so as to make it easier for...

I put cheesy old decorations in my QT. It makes the fish feel more secure than swimming around in a bare tank. Just on occasion take it out and wash it well. I run mine through the dishwasher with no soap and then set out in the sun for about 2 days. Moby

They are fairly small fish, maybe 3 inches tops. But they are very active and spend most of their time cruising in and out of the holes and spaces between the live rock. I would think the amount of live rock in the tank is as important as the size of the tank itself. Soooo, ballpark figure. At...

Is this a new setup? What are your water parameters? Wait it out, do water changes 10% a week, if you are using R/O DI water to mix salt and top off eventually it will die off after it has used up all the nutrients it needs to survive. If you are using tap water..... Stop. Get a R/O unit. Moby

If it were me... I would take all the trays out and just use the rubble. But without an accurate picture of your setup its really hard to say. Hope that helps. Moby

We should tell them their customer service representative will refund their money! :hilarious Moby

AW MAN THAT BLOWS! I would do it quickly! That crack could give at any minute! I am sorry to hear this sort of thing. If you can see under the house at the beams you should be able to eyeball if it looks strong enough. Moby

my son (2 yrs old) was feeding the tank one day... needless to say he fell in and was consumed by our green carpet in no time... ::soob:: im still trying to get over it. My green carpet could eat your green carpet :) I laughed so hard beer just shot out of my nose!!! I heard a man...

Great show, been watching from day 1. But, (you knew there would have to be one) The plot thickens and very little gets resolved.GRRRR! I mean come on writers, throw us a bone! They did this to us last season too. This is one of the best shows on network but I'm getting a little impatient. I...

Hey greggti, I don't think that is Scinaia. I could be wrong, I'm no expert on this particular subject. But Scinaia usually has thin stalks, at least any I have seen. That looks more like a sponge of some sort. I say this from the photo it looks like tubular stalks plus Scinaia grows faster...

Absolutely beautiful!!! One of my favorites, but tough to keep if you are not going to feed each polyp. In a small tank the food (quantity) could be a problem and in a large tank its a pain to reach them to feed properly. Its a shame too because they really are stunning! Moby

My guess is he died of________ (fill in blank) and then was eaten by the other tankmates. Waste not want not, seems to be the rule. Moby

China? I thought it was Japan, oh well. Anyho, it is the real thing, the ball is made of fish food. :hilarious Moby

Oh yeah, I saw this on the news the other night. It is real! What will those Japanese think of next! Moby

Sinnersgirl, I think any hardware store sells it. Home depot or Lowes is a good start. It is usually white and has approx. 1/2 inch squares. Does not look bad, and will help keep kitty out of the pool! FYI, the San Diego zoo sells a very unique product made from the waste products of their...

Hey grumpygils, it looks like the reflection on the lid of the refug. Nice tank RaveenReef, keep us posted. I haven't seen anyone do a bare bottom in a while. Just out of curiosity, what sort of problems did you have? Sure they because of the sand? Moby

WOW! Really nice shrooms, the color is fantastic!! :happyfish Moby

Seems to be a lot of confusion on this topic doesn't it coach? I know we both have explained this on many occassions (you much more than I), I think we need a "tell all" thread to explain this in detail or folks need to use the search feature. That was not meant to be snotty, just this...
