This is an amazing tank. I am the original owner of this 75 gallon long (dimensions are 60x18x22) acrylic, and virtually scratch free tank. The tank has ~125 lbs LR, primarily Fiji, that is super encrusted with purple and red coraline, red, blue and green mushrooms, pulsing Xenia, and green...

Thanks! My stool got real big real quick, that's why I had to do a little re-arranging-to give him more room. HOw big can those suckers get? He's already ~6 inches thick, and close to a foot across when fully extended.

Thanks guys. I hatched the Bamboo a few months ago just to see if I could and as you can see he's getting big and healthy. Unfortunately I knew going in to this that I'd have to get rid of him sooner or later. He's actually moving into a friends spacious 300 gallon this weekend. I definately...

Hey guys, I was reading a post about Toadstools and thought I might share some pictures of my Fiji Toadstool along with other tank inhabitants. Enjoy, and please let me know what you guys think!!! <a href="http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4292103793"...

Thanks, I should try to and get a few pics snapped of the filtration setup and maybe a couple under the actinics. The bamboo is in my 75 right now--it may look bigger because the tank is 60'' long vs. the standard 48''. I prefer longer tanks b/c they usually offer greater surface area and...

I'm proud to announce that Vance, our baby bamboo shark hatched himself Oct. 8th and seems to be in great condition. I offered him some squid yesterday to see if he was hungry yet, but didn't seem too enticed. He actually swam to it and took a little bite, but didn't take it all--that action...

Now I know who the go-to man is on this forum for questions with my Bamboo-Hate to put the pressure on you like that but... So yesterday I got a real good close up of my egg. I bought it about 2 months ago and the guys at the LFS told me it should hatch within the next 1-2 months. It has...

Hey, depending on the thickness of the acrylic, if you don't feel like taking the time to cut it with a saw or want to deal with the melting issues-try scoring it with a blade of some sort. Box cutters work really well. Then line it up in between any door and the wall. Close the door on it to...

I already know that a DSB is a necessity for keeping sharks (so as to not irritate their bellies). Right now I've got a banded cat shark egg in my tank with about 2-3 inches of finely CC. What I'd like to do is layer play sand from Home Depot over the top to create a softer surface for him to...

Byron, whats happenin'. I'm not sure what the best temperature is for hatching these eggs (I'd really like to know myself b/c I've got one in my 75). I do however know that these sharks prefer cooler conditions once they are born--btwn 74-78 degrees. At 87 degrees you might want to think any...

Not to mention I'm broke as a joke and constantly looking upgrade my tanks in the most economically efficient manner. ;) :D ;) I'm also accepting sand donations to the Digler Foundation for a Better Reef, so if you're in the Bay Area and have a little lovin' to give....

Thanks for your comments guys, but maybe you missed one of my questions....is it possible to boil out the toxins?? I try to minimize the toxins by collecting from a remote area regardless. This would also be in my best interest to avoid any potential legal problems of collecting the sand...

I was hoping to get some thoughts on using sand from a local beach. Any success stories with using collected beach sand? Failures? I'm aware of the chance that the sand could be polluted with toxins, but is it possible to boil it, or to leave it in the dark for a few days to kill anything...

Skirk, no worries man. I'm upgrading to a 240 in a few months so he'll have plenty of room to move around (and nice soft sand to lay on). This is merely a hatching tank for the lil' lad. Thanks for the concern, and please understand, that's why people come to boards like these--to learn more...

Jim, Thanks again for responding. Chances are that the guy who sold it to me was mistaken and that it really is a cat shark egg. If it is a Cat shark, what type of behavior do they typically demonstrate in the tank? Are they active swimmers? Should I be concerned about anything else in my...

Jim, thanks for the input! Over 200 successful hatchings--man that's a lot! I was checking out links to pictures of various types of shark pictures and I'm starting to think that I might have a Leopard shark egg. They used to have a bunch of baby Leopards (grey with the black spots, right?)...

Hello all, I'm new to this board-sent over from the Aqualink Webforum. I'm trying to find out more information on cat shark eggs. I've seen a few posts for Bamboo shark eggs, but does anyone have any experince with cat shark eggs? I like to know what the optimum conditions are for getting...
