Your tank is beautiful! Hubbie put black sand in his biocube at first. We both thought it would look great with the black background but it really made the corals look washed out. The black sand absorbed alot of the light and just did not do the corals justice. He also had problems with the...

Right now I'm not having any problems feeding them because they are in hubbies tank going thru QT for a few weeks and he has been feeding them for me! His tank is fallow right now so we put them in there to QT. Good deal for me huh? lol I will say it is a bit tight in his tank and will be...

I do feel a little better, but fish currently in QT looked great too until the day I was ready to raise salinity. Sticking with the plan I guess, start copper Fri. when I'm home long enough to deal with it. How long do you think I should keep them in copper and then raise the salinity? I would...

I've tried to get a picture and it just won't show up. The spots are mostly gone, but I know it is still lurking there. I did get some copper but need to clean out the other tank before I move them and I work a 3 day stretch. I work long hours, a few days in a row and then get several days...

It would be very hard to give up driving. It is so easy to take it for granted. It usually is taken better when coming from the doctor that they can't drive--let them be the bad guy. He may refer that issue to her family doctor since they probably know her better. Glad to hear it wasn't a...

Thats just mean!

My parents live in Roanoke, Indiana. Guessing there are several Roanoke

Hi Flower. How is your mom today? I've just been tagging along, saying a prayer for her. I know hospitals can be scary and isolating, so sending cyber hugs. Glad to hear your daughter is with you, I'm sure that is comforting for you.

Yes they are. You can cut a mushroom at the base or cut it in pieces and it regenerates. It also moves its foot and leaves part of it behind. It just starts to stretch and a small part of the foot breaks off (for a lack of a better way to explain it). The little piece of the foot left behind...

Tagging along....so glad we have a guinea pig Did they give you any idea how long it might be before you start seeing results?

Tangs Rule--thanks for the response! At first I thought it might be sand, I was living in denial. I am certain it is a parasite (ick). Spots have been there for 3 days now. They start as a bump under the skin and then "erupt". After 2 weeks of copper how much longer did you keep them in...

I have two tangs I placed in QT. Neither tang had any evidence of ick but I decided to hypo anyway to be on the safe side. I took one week to lower the salinity. The tank is bare bottom with one piece of base rock that was dried out when I put it in the tank. Second week into the hypo the...

I totally agree with Meowzer and BTLDreef--in a city the size of Houston you could easily find something great on craigslist. We have found some awesome deals in a much smaller town, even one that was brand new for 1/2 price. You will have alot of other things you will want to spend you $ on...

Hopefully her rhythmn is normal. But depending on what part of the heart was damaged during her heart attack, she may not have a "normal" rhythmn again. The heart beats with electrical stimulation and sometimes the electrical path is interupted. It is possible that first she had the...

Unfortunately they release very early because they have to fight the insurance co, esp. Medicare. Where I work we release in the evening all the time. Often more than one doctor is seeing the person and they don't round until after their office closes. Also the charge for another day is at...
