    catching the elusive mantis

    Dip the rock into a bucket of fresh water, when he leaves the rock, take it out and put the rock back into the saltwater. I'd still be willing to take it off your hands.

    hard tube coco worm

    They are the feather dusters that have the hard white tube. I dont know if anyone sells them. I've always seen them growing on liverock. I've just learned that they live long. It takes about 60 years for them to grow to about a 3" length. I have a few of them in my tank. Hopefully I'll be around...

    VHO ARO Ballast (AS-220) Questions

    Mine only get warm to the touch. I have it mounted to the back of my canopy, right on the wood. I mounted the ballast close to one end of the canopy so that the leads can reach one set of end caps. I then mounted terminal strips on the canopy so that I could lenghten the other leads. I used 18ga...

    Where do you get new corals

    Actually, I don't like buying full size corals because I would rather buy something small and watch it grow in my tank. Frags are the best bet for that. I go to one of the LFS and check the tanks for stray corals(ones that start growing out of the substrate). Tonight I bought 7 corals. 5 of them...

    Here's a question you marine geniuses

    Removing nitrates is the whole purpose of doing water changes. You are taking out water withnitrates in it and then replacing it with water that has no nitrates in it. If you dont do water changes, then your nitrates will build up. Using macroalgae to remove nitrates is also another way of doing...

    Looks I'm the biggest newbie on the message boards!

    Say what you want, I still got you to use punctuation and post in a way that we can read what you're trying to say. Try feeding your Lions, ghost shrimp. Thats what I used to feed mine and they loved them.

    Painting PVC

    Why bother painting it? In a few months it will be covered with coraline algae anyway.

    Looks I'm the biggest newbie on the message boards!

    To tell you the truth, I don't bother reading your posts because you dont bother reading them before you post them. They invented puctuation for a reason. I'm not talking about a few errors, your posts are just impossible to comprehend. READ them before you post them.

    Refugium Lighting ?

    I asked this same question a few months ago. I used to have my lighting on a reverse schedule but changed it to 24/7 due to the majority of answers I received here. They are now lit 24/7.

    Heater question?

    Whether you go with one heater or two, make sure you buy a titanium one. Youll never have to worry about it breaking. They cost more than the glass ones but youll never break a tube and you dont have to worry about putting a hot heater back in the water and breaking. You can put a hot titanium...
