    sump questions

    I would move the 2nd and 3 baffle to the other side and then you can have a fuge! Alot of people only use 2 baffles for thier bubble trap and you dont need a bubble trap again before the pump because there is nothing in a fuge making bubbles. You just need something to keep the sand from...

    Refugium Help

    Ill load some pics tonight. Also, I actually tore out the board in the front that divides the cabinet space so that i could get my tank in. Just make sure its not load bearing and then go at it with a saw. You should bear in mind that this takes some time. It took me a week to get the glass...

    How many hermit crabs do i need

    I think it also depends on the type of hermits. I have blueleg hermits that seem pretty harmless. They are so small i dont think they could do anything to your average snail. I also have a couple of scarlet hermits which are bigger, but worthless imo as they do nothing and barely move most of...

    UV light side effect ?

    its from prolonged exposure to the light. There is UV in sunlight, thats why you wear sunblock. Maybe if you stuck your arm under it every single day you would get cancer but I imagine you would be ok with occasional exposure. You dont wear sunblock everytime you leave your house after all.

    Feeding help w/goby and clowns

    I feed the same thing but I also drop in formula 1 or 2 pellets once a day so that the bottom dwellers have a chance to eat too. I dont know about your clowns, but mined dont give anyone else a chance to eat the marine cuisine! They love it

    What is causing these sores on my fingers?

    He gave me a steroid pack and told me to wear gloves from now on! We'll see if the steroids work. Oh and i too have to pile on the moisturiser, and I wash my hands with anti bacterial soap everytime I stick them in the tank (which doesnt help with the dryness).

    worried about my clown goby

    I have had this blue clown goby a couple of weeks now and I never see him eat. He hides all the time and I have to actively search all the nooks and crannies to find him. Is he just eating the amphipods and copepods in my tank? I have noticed that there arent copepods crawling on my tank...

    What is causing these sores on my fingers?

    Now that i am sufficiently freaked out, I guess I will make an appointment with the doctor! I know I dont have a staff infection though. Just little sting like spots on the tips of my fingers. This makes me think that it was from handleing something. They are barely even visible, they just...

    I have been getting these sores all over my hands that are like blisters deep under my skin. They hurt really bad and arent going away very quickly.

    Scarlet hermits and cleaner shrimp shedding at the same time?

    My 3 scarlet hermits and a new cleaner shrimp have all shed their exo skeleton. I just find it odd that they did it the same day. I have alot of blue legs and another cleaner shrimp that havent though. I know this is how they get rid of toxins so im just a little worried that my water may...
