Well welcome to the board :D

Actually it is well known that they can eat coraline. Most people, however, do not worry about this long term as often by scraping the coraline off the rock they spread spores, so while they eat and scrape off some, they in the big scheme of things, help coraline to spread. They do munch on...

You can soak all the other food in garlic too so that even the non-nori eating fish get the benefits.

Peppermint shrimp solved all my aptaisia woes with no fear of electrocuting myself. Speaking of aptaisia, anyone seen Tim Edwards lately?

Hey all, So my office nano has been up and running for over a month now. Aside from a bit of a cyano spurt (that's getting better every day) the tank is looking great. It's just a 3 gal eclipse system with 3-4 lbs of live rock, a cc bed, 2 snails, and 2 peppermint shrimp (under 13 watts of...

Yeah, looks definitely like an urchin. they are quite benign algae eaters--however they will eat coraline...

Still what type of fish are they? This may not be their natural food in which case it will not nourish them. Leaving it in the tank is a good idea, but if they really aren't going to eat it it could just drive up phosphates and nitrates in the tank. Again, what type of fish do you have?

What kind of fish do you have? I've always used garlic rather than garlic juice...ie crush some garlic, put it in tank water with the nori for a bit then add it. The non-roasted will contain more nutrients for your fish so i'd suggest giving that to them over the roasted variety. But if you...

Yeah, it's funny, here at my good ol' uni we got multiple e-mails over the last few weeks to protect our computers against that worm. But today (while no one's personal computer has been affected that I know of--since we all did the microsoft update when the university told us too) all the...

I feel for ya :(

Nerdy and MarVida--how bout having a servant bring micro-brew! Now that would be sweet. But for now I'll just be psyched with my hot cocoa. (See, really the best part for me with this is I'm not a coffee drinker--but I now have like 18 different ways I can get a cup of cocoa. Tomorrow I...

Err...I think you pulled me over once! Just kidding, sort of...maybe it's the job, but I still think you got a bit of a Michael Chicklis thing going on. Mmm...not bad for an old guy. *dang* there I go again hitting on the married guys :D

He he...well, keep pushing your luck buster and you may get a long distance snowball instead! :D

They just finished installing one of those fancy schmancy coffee machine thingies (the ones that custom make the coffee to order and can do mocha, cappuchino, etc...) across the hall from my office--now it's like a 2 step walk for me to get a piping hot cup of cocoa. Posters beware--I'm...

I heat/cool my house to keep it between 70 and 76. Winter ~$150, summer ~$80 (2 bedroom house with full basement)

Originally posted by InigoMontoya Can my CC be that much of a reason my Nitrates are still at 80ppm?? Yes, cc is a notorious nitrate trap! ps, you killed my father, prepare to die :D (i thought it was indigo?)

Yes, but considering his former profession he probably had to be shot or something to retire by 40. I'm guessing he's paid his dues :D
