I think it is time to frag this monster! Never done this before so need some help as to how to do it. Here is the whole thing:

I've seen my emerald right smack in the middle of the GSP before and knocked him off with a stick! I don't think he was eating them, but wasn't going to take any chances. I think he may have been cleaning out the crap that was in between the polyps. The hermits have been on there also, but I...

Funny you should ask this. My GSP just opened up today after a 3-day "nap" ! The wife thought I had killed them! I think they will be fine. Mine look brighter than ever!

I've followed the battles quite often and since I don't feel I have am knowledgable enough to participate just yet, I just read along. But it seems to me that if one of the major players in the battle against these methods "quits" and more or less "takes his ball and goes home", doesn't that...

Yep, they can get out!! That's why I waited at the tank for them to go in and then quickly grabbed the bottle! They wouldn't even approach the bottle with the smaller hole.

I caught 4 damsels with this: It had flake food in it but soon dropped to the bottom. I think they finally went in out of curiosity. I cut off the spout so the entrance would be bigger and once a fish went in I hurried and grabbed the bottle pulling them out.

Carole, I caught 4 damsels with this bottle. I put flake in it and waited till they went in. Had to cut the mouth of the bottle out more so they would go in. The original mouth was too small.

Both ends of the siphon tube are the same length. I did clean it and started the siphon. The waterline is alot lower now than it was. The tube was pretty filthy, maybe it didn't like that so much!! The assembly is made by Amiracle in case there is a history of problems out there with this...

Clean it and make sure the longer tube is outside... thanks, going to check that now...

The waterline in my overflow box, (the slotted box in the tank), is about 2 inches or so below the slots right after I pull the siphon with the air tube. Over about a weeks time that level creeps up closer to the slots and will eventually be the same level as the tank water. The siphon continues...

So far so good, I'll check back with you in a year and let you know if it made it!!

been a little over a month. He now spreads out much more than in that picture. I have him placed about midway up on a ledge.

My plate is doing great under 220 watts of NO lighting.

....Of course, Grand Cayman! Take a trip with Captain Marvin to the Coral Gardens and then hit Stingray City. Then a quick trip to the barrier reef to see the resident nurse shark. Great corals and fish everywhere. And if you want a good shore snorkle go to Eden Rock right in Georgetown. You can...

Funny, I was just headed back in with another 2 gallons when I saw your post.... So far so good, salinity is down to 1.018 after only a 3 gallon change. ...of course the fish now look great, no more scratching and no spots! Sneaky little parasites aren't they! guess the're trying to trick me!

Thanks Beth, I'll drop the level to the just above the intake, should be 3 or 4 gallons, replenish a little at a time, and just continue diluting that way until I hit the 1.009 SG.

Originally posted by jrpage What filtration do you use on that QT and what size is it? It's very nice. Also, can you tell me why you have no substrate? I set my up with substrate and even seeded from my other tank with substrate. Was this a mistake? Thanks! It is a 20 gallon glass tank...

I also learned my lesson the hard way, dead fish! I have since set up the QT tank and have had some damsels in there for a week and a half. Thought everything was looking good and now discover they may have ick. I am so glad that I QTd them first! I am of the opinion that every fish I get from...

Good Morning, I have some damsels in a 20 gallon QT, (been in for 1.5 weeks) and they are now showing signs of ick. I am going to start hypo. I have 15 gallons of salt free RO water that has been sitting for 48 hours. I know to lower the salinity over 48 hours, but would like your opinions on...

Freshwater tanks are not a bad thing! I have a 45 gallon FW with 3 bala sharks and 2 electric yellow lab cichlids. Then again, I also have a 20 gallon SW QT and a 55 gallon SW FOWLR so I get the best of both worlds. The electric yellows are very cool and not that expensive. They grow to be about...
