Heh, you just listed them yourself. In something that small, you dont really want fish. Just go for some great corrals. Soft ones that move, pretty hard ones, clams and such. Id go with a pair of clowns and a goby myself. Some shrimp perhaps.

Its "lifetime" should be published somewhere, will take a little digging though. Or just email the maker and ask them. Or again, get a light meter and use that after a few months. I think the average lifespan is about 12 months (usable).

Thats about right. PCs are about 9 - 10 months reliably. MHs are hard to tell unless you can measure them. Pick a brand.. run it for a 6 months then start testing it. Once you know the lifespan of the buld, replace it with one from the same brand and do it again. Compair the results when the...

Get some clear tape.... Scotch tape would be good. Pick a spot close tot he bottom of the glass and tape a few layers (maybe 2 or 3) above where you see the salt buildup. Then clean off the salt from the band below the tape. If somehow there are drops of water running down the outside of the...

Well, I dont know myself. I can tell you what I see when I go to my LFS though. Below their Huge corral tank they have a Fuge and skimmer and so on. The Fuge is the last thing the water passes though before it goes back to the tank. THe smikker is set before the Fuge, and if memory serves, there...

Correct. General, one side of the worm will live. I wouldnt worry about it decaying and causing problems. If you have a cleanup crew of any kind, they will find the body soon enough.

I have a lot of them!. Never bothered to find out what they are called though. They seems to help clean up the waist food and stuff. I know they are nocternal, and tend to hide under rocks.....

See, its this kinda thing that makes me wana drill my tank! Ill definatly keep this in mind when I build my kiddie pool / lagoon / shark tank.... :-) Maybe use it in the last stage of the filter system before the return into the ref.

Okay. I got some frosen Squid and plopped that infrot of it... Check this morning and the squid is gone, as are 3 of the 12 shrimp. :-) Ill try the Garlic thing tonight. I need some night lighting on the tank to watch it cruise about in the dark. Its kinda boring to watch sleeping in the...

Mortality for sharks hatched sharks is high. Something like 50%. I got 2, one refused to eat and has starved to death.... I dont have any corals in the bottom of the tank. Im just after opinion right now.

A baby bamboo shark. Right now its in its own 10gallon with a damsel. Its about 4" - 5" long and not long hatched. I just got it to take some Squid... Im wondering if it would be alright in my reef tank. It would be a lot more space, a managed environment and give the little guy more places to...

Octopus or squid huh?. One of the Bamboos has died. Never saw it eat or anything. Just seemed to sit in the corner and sulk. The other is swimming like a champ but wont eat the ghost shrimp. Those damb shrimp have been in the tank for 5 days and are all still alive, all 12 of them!!. So the...

Well yea. I can see that too. I mean. Every time there is a dog attack, you get some liberal minded loon calling for tougher restrictions on these "dangerouse" animals. Theres always someone out there who doesnt understand, and so calls for an end of when they dont like.... Happens all the...

Well, the 40 can be up and running in 24 hours. I have enough LR and cycled water in my 55 to cover an emergency. Food is the concern right now. Ill stop and get some shrimps on the way home today. They will be in the 10g for about 3 weeks, wached very carefuly.. Then we move home and the 40g...

This crap spreads fast and can choke out anything in its path. I speek from experience. One soluton is to remove it by hand. Problem is, once its there its hard to get rid of. Yes, cut your lights back. The sun is only up for 10 hours of the day at most. If you want to, install some night...

Okay. The wife just produced a pair of stripped bamboo sharks. Heres me thinking Im getting eggs..... Nice. Totaly surprised me. So, I have a pair of Bamboo sharks sitting in a 10g. They are immature, about 5". So. Advice? What to feed?. I have a 40g on standby when they get a little bigger. Im...

Hey, if these guys are getting so abundant... Why am I still paying $40 for them!? ;-) Yea, this happens. I think there was a case of some wild critter in the australian coast getting loose and going nuts. I dont see it threatening the hobby though. So a few fish are getting eaten... still no...

Yer can'y go wrong with T5 HOs. I have a 55g with one 48" T5 pair and 2 24". Everyone is happy. Hard and soft correls. BUT! Ill say this much. I had one tube go out... one of 6.. I didnt knotice until one of my LPS started to die off. (got it back though!)

I thought about that. I just invested in a simple Batter Backup for a computer / server. Works a treat!. Just add drip loops to all the cable and its pretty much fool proof. Trust me, my power goes out everytime theres a storm. (lakeland electric in floirda) So the Backup keeps the main pump...

Well, just because there is no collecting going on I wouldnt flip out. When else do you have filtering?. They wont collect if there is nothing to collect.
