Eeew I just thought of something... I am going to use my 260W PC's in the 90 gallon.. so I need instructions on how/when to move the lights over to the 90 from the 55 too.

I haven't had enough problems keeping coral alive in my 55, so decided to try a 90 Sooo.. I did a search of the boards but not finding exactly what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me to or write up a step by step on how to move from one tank to another while they are side by side (or a few...

I have a frag ready for trade in Utah... it's a purple mushroom with purple spots on it's own rock... these things grow insanely! I'm looking for a Kenya Tree also attached to a rock. I'd like something I won't have to mail (I have bad luck mailing frags) so would prefer someone in Ogden-ish...

I noticed that mine cycles... parts will turn grey then return to purple.

I think I'll have nightmares.

I'd like a second opinion on my brittle starfish... the little guy has hollowed out a cave under my tank's biggest rock and he pretty much sits in here ALL day and night! He seems to constantly be starving too... He eats with my fish every day, sending arms out to grab formula 1 and formula 2...

Just a thought... my EC stands tall and extends his arms out every time I walk by... I kinda torment him by hiding then moving toward him, just to see him do it. Anyway, at times I've seen him extend so far he toppled over. Maybe we have ungraceful EC's?

Down the drain baby!

My Zoos are dying but they started pouting long before I got the CB... shrooms and ric are doing great!

Oh those are pretty too! Don't they hide most of the time though? I'd like to enjoy it heh

Getting rid of the damsel is a no-go... that fish belongs to my autistic daughter. The fish is feisty but behaves as she's been put in her place by my LMB. It was our first fish and has backed down to every other fish I've put in there.. I got a whimpy damsel!

I've been itching for another fish.... Setup: 55 Gallon Tank 20 Gallon Sump/Fuge Unkn lbs of LR (see picture.. it WAS all base rock so I didn't weigh it) 3-4" DSB DOB 4/26/2007 Fish: LMB 2 False Percs 2 Green Chromis 1 Damsel 1 Coral Beauty Inverts: 1 Brittle Starfish 1 Emerald Crab 1 Porcelain...

Something is eating my GSP slowly... I've filmed for 6 hours and haven't seen a soul by it except for the Coral Beauty which picks around it... never in the spot that's disappearing. So my thoughts are... to build an eggcrate cage around the GSP... it will allow full water flow but keep anything...

Ok then, by process of eliminations I guess I take my Coral Beauty out and QT him to see if the Coral comes back.

Is it ok to have THAT many of those little snails?

I got some middle of the night shots of my fading GSP to try and catch why it's receeding and this is what I found. I knew I had a LOT of those tiny snails, too many to count as you can see in the middle picture (I put a red dot by each of them so you can find them easier), that's just one tiny...

I guess my only option right now is to take out the new things I put in my tank when my GSP started to die off. Here's what I got with the latest order: Coral Beauty 10 Jade Hermits 10 Turbo Snails 10 Nes Snails 1 Brittle Starfish 1 Cleaner Clam 1 Queen Conch 1 Porcelain Crab What of those...
