Wow, you're good! I haven't placed them permanently, I'm waiting to get some epoxy. I have them on opposite sides right now, I think that's where they'll stay. Do you have any recommended reading on feeding and care of them?

I didn't find out what they are, but I liked them. If you have any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. Here they are:

Maybe tomorrow after they acclimate, right now they're still "bunched up". I also picked up a spider conch.

I just picked up my first 2 frags today. I'm not quite sure what their proper names are just yet. They have neon green polyps. As soon as I placed them in the spots I wanted them, my curious peppermint shrimp came over and started picking on them. It almost looked like they were popping the...

That's news to me, but I'll take that into consideration the next time I cycle my QT. I'm sure it won't be the last time. For my FW tanks I used to use the stuff in a bottle, but I'm out in the boonies and didn't have that luxury at the time. I didnt use sand because i was trying to keep it as...

Tested again this morning, 2.0. (carefully) yanked that sucker out. Thanks.

I would have fed him to the hogs. A Muslim eaten by pork! I love it. :rotfl: On second thought, poor pig (the 4 legged one). :laughing:

I ran the test (API) again this morning and it's at 1.0 ppm.

Ran a test, and I'm still inbetween 0 and .25ppm still. Is it alright to throw in some carbon to maybe reduce the smell, or will this go against the cycling process in any way?

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere. I've set up my QT and threw an uncooked shrimp in there and it's been two days. I noticed today that the shrimp looks fully cooked I also noticed that it's starting to smell like, well rotten shrimp. How long does this have to go on? I know I'm...

I've been thinking about an ATO unit, or atleast a DIY one. Any place you can refer me to? I was thinking about using my 20 gal. can I use for preparing the water.

I'll be going on a 2 week vacation in June. What kind of steps should I take to prepare for this since my SW tank seems to take a little more attention than when I had a FW tank (top offs, skimmer emptying)?

My 125 w/35 gal fuge evaporates about 2 1/2 gallons a day.

I'm setting up my 11 gal. QT and would like to get advice on a skimmer for it. I bought it with a Rio Nano Skimmer and was wondering if this is good for the long haul or if I'm going to eventually need something better. I'll also be putting in a small heater and I have read that a light is...

Last night I made a trap out of a water bottle (tip inverted). I placed two cubes of frozen mysis and put it in the tank. Within 3 minutes I had trapped both of my Peppermint Shrimp (Note to self for later). I I I released them and put the trap back, checking it throughout the night. In...

I moved some rocks around and couldn't see anything. I'll try the glass technique tonight. What kind of food are we talking about?
