    Ha;tching Brine shrimp

    Sounds like another great use for one of those refugium deals. Don't know about hatching brine shrimp, but Indo-Pacific Sea Farms has what they call sea bunnies (egg-laying opisthobranch snail grazers) which creates somewhat of a plankton producing farm. That's what I'm planning on putting in...

    damsels

    I have four damsels 2 blue and two black and white striped. The black and white striped are way too aggressive and it's time for them to go. Will the blue one's get more aggressive as they get larger, b/c I don't necessarily have a problem w/ them. YET.

    sponge too big for tank! (goes very off topic)

    I've seen the first two pages from when they began and now this one. Anything worth seeing in between or same old excusses? Does any one feel bad for the kid, he's just looking for some friends and some acceptance? He had to go online to try that. Think about what they must do to him at school.

    Gas Cans

    I tried to use plastic gas cans at first had a bad problem of them leaching and throwing off my water quality. Be careful it could happen to you. I was told you should only use food grade plastics for storing water.

    Used to have a problem w/ hermits killing snails for shells and then I just bought some shells for them from the LFS. No problems now, wish I had solved what ever issue the green emporer crab had w/ snails.

    Making a wet/dry

    Colorado_Reef, Do suggest slowly removing bio balls even if a tank is less than a year old? Doesn't it need to mature and then slowly do something like that? When do you know it's time?

    best coral host for a clown

    What about a coral that a clown will enjoy, but won't kill the coral. I've read on here that they like hammers but at the expense of the hammer not opening up is that just something I'd have to live w/ if I want a clown. That it will harass certain corals.
