if your kid makes a mess in the kitchen and leaves it for your wife, do you yell at her for taking so long to clean it up?

Its still a post on an article that is about a 46 year old book. Things were looked upon MUCH differently back then. The post is just as pointless as the written article, regardless of who is appointed to where by whome. edit* 36 year old

so you're going to base this on a book written in the 70's and disregard the guy saying he doesn't really stand behind its information anymore? ...right...

my LFS has a lagoon with 2 cat sharks and about 15-20 rays, a wrasse (not sure of the type) and a few pretty big damsels. I'd say, if you have the space for them, a ray or an eel would be fine.

why don't snails just stay alive?!?!

does anyone here have one? My LFS has a sweet setup with about 15 small rays, 2 sharks, and a few random fish that I guess they overflow into it when large enough.

Excellent! Thank you for your answer! I like details, so the more details the better. I like to play things as "pretend I know nothing" and gather info then get confused on "I know this, but not that" Do either of you guys know a basic ratio of tank to sump size? Or if theirs a rule of thumb...

I know this is a pretty basic question, and I've got the general idea of how it works, but I was wondering if anyone has specifics on it? I'm not talking about the filtration and that stuff. I just want to know really what keeps the water from overflowing, best placement for the pump, and for...

Aahh, I understand Thank you for the info! hmm... I don't want to poor little things to die, crap!

my margarita's are fine and very active, its the turbo that died...

hmmm... so quite possible the snails died THEN the worms started eating it?

I've never had or seen these worms before in my tank. Its been running for over 2 years, live rock has been in there for about 18 months that came out of an established tank from a LFS. I had 3 turbo's in there for about 3-4 weeks without problems. Then purchased the new set of snails and then...

30 gallon, (currently) 4 mexican turbos and 4 margaritas, too much algae... now that they've been decimating the current bloom (which is not close to being gone), hair algae is starting to bloom. I can't win!

aaahhhh noooo!!!!! I hope those were the only two!! I bought 2 turbo from a LFS and it was one of them. The other 3 were/are healthy... for now
