Well . . . my problem is not getting the food to him. He grabs it perfectly well on his own and even goes for my finger sometimes. It sure does feel strange when they grab hold! But my problem is getting him to either eat fast enough that he is protected from the other animals, or is sheltered...

You know its kinda funny that this topic should come up . . . . I can guarentee that each and every single parent on this board and in the world for that matter would feel 110% in favor of such technology should their child turn up missing. There is so much to be gained from such technology...

I have a question for you . . . . I have a serpent star that has been in my 20H reef tank for about 10 months or so. It lives under a rock and has never come out from his burrow during daylight hours, occasionally at night I will see him scavenging, but not always. Anyway . . . to the point...

Well . . . . I am not sure if you still need it, or are willing to wait, but I am moving at the end of august and will be tearing down my tank:( I have some great LS though, set up over a year. If you can tell me how to ship it, and are willing to pay for it then I'll send you some. But like...

You know . . . I didnt catch that. But I do agree though. two fish in a 6 gallon is too much IMO. I think that the clown would be fine on its own, but the cardinal from that I have read will not do well if in a tank by itself. I think that your best bet is to get rid of both fish, but if you...

It will acutally be less on the bio load as the shrimp will consume and convert the majority of the previoulsy uneaten food into energy. There will be less waste as they are rather active animals. It should actually (if there was a lot of uneate food on the bottom before) lighten the bio load...

thanks for the pic beth, but its not as interesting as I thought it would be. Oh well. Thanks though!

Originally posted by Beth Now, does anyone want to see a pic of the bottom of DSB? LOL Not sure if you are serious or not, but I would like a pic.

Originally posted by broomer5 It's usually wise to test pH, alkalinity and calcium together, and track the numbers on paper for awhile. I cant even BEGIN to tell you just how beneficial this is. I do it, and always have. I recently had problems with my levels, and I can look back to...

definitely a retest. At 675 or whatever, i believe that it would be snowing in your tank!

Originally posted by overanalyzer ... poor nmreefer is not going to get any sleep! I know:( . . . . . Sorry about that man!

I am sure that I came of very brash, but I dont intend to. I have much much more to say on this topic, but I fear that it will not be constructive so I decided to stop. Long and short . . . DSB's are effective short term. Long term . . . . it is impossible to tell. For anyone to come along...

You know . . . . I have been following this thread from the start and have just been observing things as they develop. However, I am about to break my silence on this one as I have put some serious thought into this topic. 1. DSB's are NOT by any means the end all filtration methods, nor do I...

The best single piece of equipment that you can have is literally right in front of you. It sounds lame, but seriously, this board contains EVERY single bit of information that you could ever need, and if you cant find it, just ask! What i would suggest is that you search around here, ask...

Yeah yeah . . you got me.;)

I too am curious to know who intentionally starved a fish . . . . .

Originally posted by Bigred I used the stuff and it is gone in 3 days (but) I lost my hammer:( It'll be back unless you fix the source of the problem.

Originally posted by NM reef I'd agree with the Capnella ID...from what I understand they tend to be much more difficult to keep than the colts.They recieve less nutrition from zooanthellae than colts and need a food source available via the water column to thrive.:cool: This is very true...

Instead of the Freshwater method of doing 20% monthly at one time, try doing 5% weekly. This acheives the same thing, creates more consistency, and is less of a shock to the system. I have noticed an improvement in both water chemistry, and coral growth once changing to 5% weekly water...

looks an awful lot like Capnella to me. Very similar to colt, but more branching as this appears. Colts are generally thick, where as capnella are thinner. My opinion . . . . capnella.
