    Adding a BTA to my reef

    Drip acclimate for about 2 hours. Then gently scoop him out with a net. Place him in an area that where he can plant his foot down in the rockwork where it is dark and he will stretch out to the light. Of coure, not really deep dark, just a nice ledge where he can attach in a darker area. If he...

    BTA and Tomato Clown

    bta's are probably the easiest anenome to keep. Please buy an aquacultured one though. They are becoming fairly common. Your clownfish should host in it. Mine always have. Mine has produced 3 clones over the past 2 1/2 years and they now reside in other peoples tanks:D Of course, proper feeding...

    Anybody burn wood for winter?

    Originally posted by lovethesea Wrasscal.....do you have soot problems at all ? No soot. We do have it cleaned every couple of years. In case of creasote (sp) build up, I think. We also have no "wood smell" through the vents, just heat.

    Anybody burn wood for winter?

    If you are talking about an existing fireplace they make "inserts" for them and venting systems ranging from a couple vents above the fireplace to vents plugged into the heating ductwork. My house was built with a fireplace that has an insert connected to the ductwork. It is much more...

    Fighting or Queen Conch

    Tongan Strombus Conchs can grow to 4 inches and live for up to 15 years. They are peacefu, reef safe and eat diatom casings. They are also good for stirring and cleaning the sand surface. :D

    Originally posted by Ty_05_f Hey wait a minute I saw that on espn.com :thinking: I couldn't have said it better myself. Personally, it's not Auburn that I don't think belongs, it's USC. They have the lamest schedule. I think it should be OU #1 and Auburn #2.

    Why the Sooners should play for the National Championship: The Sooners have beaten three ranked conference opponents away from Norman, including the 12-0 shutout of No. 5 Texas, which hadn't been shut out in more than 20 years, as well as No. 22 Texas A&M and No. 23 Oklahoma State. The Sooners...

    Here is another where you can see the spikes better. I hope it helps you identify what you have. The spikes go all the way across. Sorry the resolution isn't so good. I had to really reduce the size.

    Fighting or Queen Conch

    Originally posted by Tina Most lfs refer to "sifting" as "shifting" Queens don't clean the sand bed like fighting do of diatoms. You have to be careful on those terms. Sifters- process the sand and ingest beneficial bacteria and fauna in a functing deep sand bed that requires anaerobic zones...

    Fighting or Queen Conch

    Scientific way to tell is if the bumps across the middle are nubby it's a fighting. If they are spiky it's a queen. At lfs I've seen both at the same size. I have a queen since we never get fighting around here.
