I was told they can ink if annoyed, But i run a skimmer and cabon so it will probably be ok, here's the thing i am concerned about, Supposedly they only have a 6-9 month life span! If it dies in my tank will it pollute my system?

it's a sea slug, type in sea hare into google lots to read on them

i was hoping he would come out so i could get a pic, But it is camera shy! it looks like a rabbit squated down eating!

I went by the LFS and picked up a sea hare, I have read alot on them and was even going to order 1 months ago! So glad i waited, was going to cost me about 60 bucks to be overnighted! I got it for 20 bucks! MAN you should see this thing eat hair alge!

I personally would take as much of the water as reasonable, BUT you are going to disturb the sand no matter what, this will probably cause a minor cycle! But maybe do a test to check where things are 1st , that way you know once you set it all back up what you are looking for! When i moved my...

take a few buckets with tops, put in some water form the tank drop the rock and critters in them and leave the sand in the tank, take out the majority of he water from the tank so you don't have alot of sloshing going on! Good luck and becareful!

And you thought that holding it in wouldn't hurt ya!

I prefer the UFC rules! Not only is choking permitted but prefered! :hilarious

maybe you could put a piece of window screen in the sump and load the CC on it ( for awhile) then you can gather up the corners of the screen after a couple of weeks allowing it to seed, pull the screen out and remover the CC completely! BUT remember that disturbing the CC is likely to release...

He does know , the pics on the wall above that tank will have to go, evaporation will encrust them in short order! Good Luck to him!

Lighting, is pc combo, 260 watt and 2 400 watt MH! I have cut the Mh out for the time being, have nothing that actually needs them and the bulbs are way old! Rather not have them then provide the bad spectrum! My hair alge has fallen off considerbly since i cut them out! I think i am going to...

I agree with the others, Dump the CC and the UGF, do a mix of plain sand and live sand, You can actually buy some dead (coral/rocks) much cheaper and allow the live sand to seed it, this ofcourse will take much longer and cause you to have to cycle the tank again, but it will happen and totally...

Well i'll be darned, Finally got a good hitchiker! Normally i get stuff that will eat everything in my tank!

hey now , that's my fuzzy rock! I have been battling hair alge for months, not enough time in my life to keep up with it, But lighting cutbacks have helped considerably! The disk shaped thing in the middle is what i am talking about, i can't find anything that looks even close to it!

I have been watching this grow in my tank for sometime now, I was never able to get a good pic of it! Not that this pic is great, But i am hoping you can see it well enough to give me an idea of what it is!

Hmmm add the cost of the salt and the cost of the bags your using, seems a little pricey! But i live in new mexico what do i know about humidity!

I thought copper would leech into the silacone? I would think you would need to strip the sealer and start from scratch!?
