sweet...tank aside (since you already know that looks good) i really like how you refinished the stand. looks nice :)

One of my LFS's is selling a used 300 gal acrylic tank...it was the store owners home tank that he's selling cause he's moving--looks pretty sweet...I think he's asking like 5k for it though with the sump, stand, and all equip minus lights...not sure if that's what you're thinking or not. if so...

hmm...my zebras are nowhere near so aggressive--maybe you can find them a new home? and don't even look at the LFS...you'll pay too much...go to petsmart/***** or even your grocery store--the pellets i'm talking about are just Wardley Shrimp Pellet Formula--pretty low-end cheap stuff...probably...

sweet--congrats on the mantis--and congrats on being back in college :D my closest friends on campus (i'm a grad student) are the 'old guys'...they're funnier and party way harder...and you always know their wife will post bail if worst comes to worst :D

give him small pieces...he'll just grab them and stick them straight into his belly...that's why i like those shrimp pellets--i drop them near him and normally 3 arms each grab one, he pulls them inside and uses the other two arms to crawl back into a hole...works pretty well! what do you have...

Hey, if you know which rock he's in then it's really quite easy to get him out. Just remove the rock, put it in a bucket. I found that if i sloshed the bucket/rock around a bunch it t--'d them off and mine swam right out...grab the rock, and you're left with a mantis in a bucket. If that...

I'm no ophiura--but if you wave food near its den it'll stick at least an arm out. it'll be shy at first but it'll learn quickly--then it gets easier as the starfish knows that once it sees you it's meal time. (all my fish go after the turkey baster--when i try to spot feed anything my purple...

i've had it a week or two...it's about half way up the tank in moderate current.

One of my frogspawn is looking bad--well, part of it, one of the lower branches today completely receded to the skeleton. Now the second branch next to it is receding but the first branch looks like it's starting to extend again. All water params are good I think (latest results posted below)...

2x96 is a good light for a 30...4x96 is fine too...it all depends on what you want to keep. There's rarely such thing as "too much light" unless you're specifically wanting to keep low light corals. But 2x96 should work fine. Sandman though you'll probably get best results if you stick to...

Is it red hair algae or red slime algae? Some blennies (lawnmowers in particular) wil eat hair algae--as will most mexican snails. If it's slime algae though (well really any nuisance algae) it is likely caused by excess phosphates and/or lighting. Was the algae there before you upgraded your...

how wide is it? if 48" i'd suggest a second MH and place them on either side of the brace...

Yeah, enlist my boyfriend to keep them as pets and I guarantee you they'll all die. How bout a big annual craw broil? The options are endless :D

might i suggest tropicorium. they're in romulus michigan. i go to their store all the time--i'm sure there mail order 9/99 is good stuff--i've looked at the trays in person and always am quite impressed. they have a website. name again is tropicorium...all you need is the www and the com

Yeah, I've actually got a couple of them from my fw days. Thinking about pulling one out of the basement and making a lil office tank...trying to decide which way to go--nano sps or a lil dwarf seahorse tank. sounds like sps is out as i just wouldn't be able to make the lighting work. but...

I see JBJ makes an 18 watt 11" long clip on light. But I can't seem to find anyone making an 18 watt 11-12" retrofit light. (Basically I'm trying to figure how much light I can put in an Eclipse 3 gal tank hood--and 12" is the width limit). Any suggestions? thanks, leigh

Sounds like he gets fired a lot.

They'll reproduce like nuts--they kinda grow to meet the food supply--if there's food they reproduce...the food dwindles and they die back--they control their own pop pretty well. so yes, just toss a scoopful of them into the new tank and they'll do great on their own.

doesn't hurt--will startle you. i still have a scar from when my clowns attacked me months ago and i jumped inadvertently dragging my forearm along the inner lip of my tank. drew blood. and no joke i seriously still have a 2 inch long scar :eek:

What other board; you mean there's another board, yikes--even more opinions and fighting--one board is plenty for me :D
