Thanks Sammy, and I'm sorry to hear about your luck. I am grateful for the info. Puffer, I hope I have the same expirence as you. Burn you must realize that the flower pot was not sitting in a $10,000 reef set up and "condeming to death" is a little strong. FYI I'm not a new reefer either I...

I'd like some info on keeping one happy. I just got him and he seems to like strong current but what else? Keep the reef, Raistlin

I haven't been by in a while and I just thought I'd give a shout to all my fellow reefers Keep the reef, Raistlin

HELP PLEASE!!! Guys I'm a little worried about this one

I have a piece of cat's eye and it got upset a week ago.So I put carbon on the tank and he seemed to be at ease.Now things are back to normal(though he hasen't recovered all his color back yet) but when he opens up his front tissue "droops" for lack of a better word.Does anyone know whats going...

I feel your pain! I am starting to have the same problem with my Eiboli mimic. He has faint traces of Ich and his appatite has decreased. I plan to buy a cleaner tomorrow.I have heard that they are the way to go.I once medicated a tank and beat the Ich but damage to my rock made me sick ( it...

I am with Sundog and Mr. Salty. You should leave the algae especally on the back wall.It looks natural and inproves water quality.As they said it also is an alternate source of food that can come in very handy if your going to be gone a few days. Keep the reef, Raistlin

I see no problem with keeping Anemone so long as your really care about our hobbie and the the welfare of your tanks inhabitants. Hell when I first started 5 years ago I had a tank crash do to my own lack of knowledge and I apologized to each and every fish that died (almost came to tears over...

Thanks Clownfish! BTW that sounds like a kickin setup your workin on! Let me know if I could ever help you out on some 411. Keep the reef, Raistlin

thanks clownfish! I have a 10 gal mini-reef (and its doing well believe it or not)I've had it for a few years with only 30 watts on it (one 50/50,one actinic)and I am aware you can't keep clams with three watts to the gal.My wife is getting me a 55 watt pc setup (custom sea life I think) giving...

Birmingham AL! A big ROLL TIDE to all my aquarists bretheren out there! I live just outside of Birmingham in Vestavia. We have a great LFS less than five min away.No aquarist society thought (we really need one).Its great to see people from all across the country involved in the hobbie! Keep the...

Kalkwasser is Calcium Hydroxide. Get some and read the directions carfully as some vary.You take water from the tank and mix a small ammount of kalkwasser in it,then WAIT for at least half a day and pull from the mixture making sure not to pull up the settled debris in the bottom,just use a...

my experience with sponges is that they aren't too hard to keep (blue being the exeption) but I had to clean mine from time to time with a soft tooth brush in some tank water.As they filter the water through their bodies small particles of debris stick to the outside making it look dirty.Also...

I have asked before for info on my Eibli mimic tang (much thanks for the responses).I know that in general tangs dont get along with each other.But my qusetion is with a Eibli mimic can I add,say a powder blue with him in a 55? or any other tang for that matter? Or is that a death match behind...

blacktip, I meant no disrespect and my quention was truthful in nature.I merely want to learn and assimilate more on the subject.My lunar knowledge is somewhat lacking and I wasen't offended by your comments but intrested thats all.We are all here to learn no matter how much we know.I am just...

very interesting blacktip. But,Do you feel that your success has been based on your use of lunar cycle lighting (or the success of other professionals) or just excellent water movement and quality mixed with a large dose of knowledge and trace elements?? Raistlin

you just gotta love this bb! Raistlin

I have a Eibli mimic tang. He's happy, a good eater and beautiful.Can anyone tell me more about him his habits and does he have the same "blades" on his back fin that most tangs have? Thanks, Raistlin

can they be kept?

the mushroom will propogate if you split it down the middle with a sharp razor and the mushroom is relatively large and very healthy! A jagged cut on a unhealthy muchroom will only lead to disaster! good luck Raistlin
