Check the about.com saltwater site, I think they had a recent article on this topic. http://saltaquarium.about.com/pets/s...rium/mbody.htm update: I just checked and they have new articles on the start page, but here is the archive location: http://saltaquarium.about.com/librar...y/aa051400.htm...

It could be a sponge of some sort, but it also -in a way- reminds me of a small starfish I had come in on some LR. It was about the same size and color, but had 7 non symetrical points(legs). I at first thought it was a sponge, but closer examination revealed it was definatly a starfish. There...

Originally posted by Hermit: ... Problem is that I am getting bubbles back into the tank and it is not from the skimmer ... The bubbles are occuring when the water which comes into the sump trickles through the chemical media to the rio which is below... I have a Rio600 for circulation, and it...

Originally posted by blender: ...does the timer some how press the on off button or what? You leave the light (switch) on, then plug the light into the timer which turns the electricity on and off to the light. This works great for small lights like I have, but if you are using VHO, PC or MH...

I just got a sponge filter (Lee brand -I think-, yellow triangle shape, about 6"x5"x5") runs off an air pump. I plan to use it in my 10gal H/QT which also has a mini bio-wheel filter with the carbon removed. I have the sponge in my main tank now for 3-5 days to culture the bacteria in the...

Originally posted by Reef Ranger: are they aiptasia anemones(glass), if so they are not good an should be removed. -Ranger- Can you give a better description of aiptasia? maybe a link to a good photo? Are they ALWAYS bad or just if/when they get "out of control"? -Dennis

What are the mating/spawning habits of jawfish? Could this be related? Just wondering since they sound like they were fine toghter for awhile and suddenly changed behavior. That and the hidding in a hole sounds like it might be protecting eggs or something. Disclaimer: I know nothing about...

Drewster, How did the move home go? I believe you made the move last weekend didn't you? ...as for the inverts, if you are planning on getting a puffer (as I am) then this package may become a very expensive "mail-order snack". I am not familiar with a Valentini Puffer (from your other post)...

The best advice for digital cameras in particular, and for any camera in general, is to use a good, solid tripod to steady the camera. Your pictures on your site look pretty good except for the motion blur of the fish, unfortunately I don't think that can be helped much with a digital, unless...

The only thing I see wrong with this set-up is... that it's not mine!!! Sorry, envy, greed and selfishness all just had a head on collision with reality!

Thanks to all of you who commented on this. I will continue with weekly cater changes for now. -Dennis

Stro,Thanks!! The GARF newsletter you linked to is just what I was looking for. Well, I would have prefered some better news, but now I know what the "baby" star fish is, an Asterina anomala . I suppose I should get rid of it before it proliferates and gets out of control. I don't have any coral...

Well, I'm not sure I'm ready to get rid of it yet. But if it can be established that it is harmful or begins to over populate, I will. Any ideas on its species? Could it be from my big starfish, or is it definately different. Can you tell at this stage? -Dennis

The pictures are up. you can see them at http://www.cbmoffice.org/personal/dennis1.htm Please help me identify the big star fish (Scientific name) and if the baby is from this starfish, of if it more likely came in on the live rock. -Dennis[i][b] (aka pround daddy) [This message has...

Originally posted by clayton: I do not know the common name Bahama Starfish. Do you know the scientific? I do not know the Scientific name. Perhaps a desciption may help. It has 5 legs, is orange to burnt orange in color. Bumpy on top. It eats by expelling its stomach. It seems to mostly graze...

He is moving around the tank. Today I found him climbing up the glass on the other side of the tank. The big starfish started to climb on/over top the baby. I don't know if this is good, so I moved the big one away to the other end of the tank. Do they nurture their young, or eat their young...

While doing a "search and rescue" for my (now deceased) Domino Damsel. I found a baby starfish on a piece of fake wood in my tank. I just added a Bahama Stafish two weeks ago, so I don't know if it could be from him/her or possably a hitch hiker from one of my live rocks. It is about one half an...
