    Mangrove Refugiums

    sorry i dont have any pics for you as I had to demob my tank (wasnt around enough to take good care of it). I had one mangrove in my sump with some caulerpa and it did great under a 60W grow bulb run 24/7. just basically need to keep the leaves above water and sprayed with freshwater once or...

    Mexican Trochus and Nassarius snails

    What conditions do you need for the nassarious to breed?? or do they just not "do it" in captivity?? :D performance anxiety i guess.

    OT: Scuba Diving soon...HELP!

    Awesome! thanks for all the info so far. Keep the recommendations coming. I will be staying at the Costa Linda, dad's timeshare :) As for classes, I'm definitely more comfortable getting certified here. I found a PADI shop in town, just trying to figure out if I can afford it. $300 for six, 4...

    OT: Scuba Diving soon...HELP!

    I'm headed to Aruba in May. I'd love to learn how to scuba so I can check out the reefs down there. Can anyone give me some tips on where's a good place to take lessons? How much is decent equipment? Anything else I might need to consider before I go. thanks in advance Jason

    I'm miserable, So is the tank

    My boss had the same problem with southdown sturring up all the time. he used a "cotton" floss they sell at the LFS, it did real well catching the sand dust. might be worth a shot.

    OT : New Virus going around

    the teddy bear email is definitely a hoax. i get at least a couple of calls about that each week at work. as for the unwanted adware and such from imesh, kazaa, or the internet. try running SpyBot Search and Destroy. Freeware from download.com. it works wonders on fixing annoying things in your...

    Does anyone use or know about denitrators or nitrate removers or whatever they are?

    I second a refugium. Its natural and its a hell of a lot of fun figuring out how to make it fit into your system.

    Mangroves in Refugium

    Bang Guy, Did you have mixed experiences with them? I only had one pod, bought at LFS, but twolittlefishies brand. It did real well, maybe it was something in the H20.

    Mangroves in Refugium

    I had really good success with one for about a year until I shut down my tank in December. 10 is a lot of plants. Are you planning on keeping caulerpa as well? there might not be enough nutrients for all that. would definitely need some tank specs. basic care for a mangrove is pretty easy. Make...

    Need help to ID Anthias

    Definitely Male Lyretail Anthias. I had three males that lived together for almost a year with no problems then two stopped eating and slowly died. I'd recommend only one male and a harem of females. He definitely will feel like a pimp after that! :D

    To Answer BigMac

    I believe our wise shark broomer5 likes to say, "Your tank, your choice". You hit the ups and downs of a DSB on point, just a matter of what you want to look at every day. As with the case of your tank, its pretty freaking amazing as it is, I personally like the looks of a sandbed, but with...

    Jawfish and Shrimp ok together?

    yeah his sandbed is plenty deep. i had recommended the yellow head, didnt think he wanted to spend $100 on the blue-spot, just wasnt sure about them eating tankmates.

    Jawfish and Shrimp ok together?

    My boss is considering getting a jawfish for his 72 gal bowfront. His stock right now consists of 4 Chromis, 1 Lyretail Anthia and a Neon Goby. In addition he wants to add a pair of False Percs and maybe the jawfish. He has three peppermint shrimp and was concerned that a jawfish might eat the...

    recommendations for feeding anthias

    He said poop. huh huh huh huh all kidding aside, i fed my Lyretail Anthias Frozen Mysis, Brine, Marine Cuisine and oddly enough they liked Formula One. NEver could get them on flake though, just make sure you feed them at least twice a day and soak food in selcon or zoe for added nutrition...

    If I was rich.......(look at this tank!)

    I cant imagine the price on that thing. His chillers look like they are a couple of g's each. its a real nice tank, but the professional webpage makes it look even nicer.

    If I was rich.......(look at this tank!)

    If you check the credits he has a bio. He's actually a retired screen writer/photographer. Worked on Married with Children, so he's definitely got the bling bling.
