Klongo, I have an idea. Why don't you buy your live rock and get the curing process going. That will give you something to do. Do it in a rubbermaid tub or something. Unless you are getting cured stuff locally then I guess you won't need to take that step. One more idea. I could be wrong...

Bang Guy, No, it has too many arms to be a starfish. At least I am pretty sure that starfish only have 5 arms. I have attached a crude drawing. It looks like it has a central body just like a starfish but it has multiple rows of somewhat triangular arms coming off of it. The arms only come...

No, this thing doesn't have arms. It is just a round disc-like body with a bunch of bristle-like tentacles coming off of it.

I am guessing the tentacles are hard. I didn't want to touch it without knowing what it was. The tentacles are not long and soft like an anenome. I guess maybe it could be an urchin.

No - It isn't aptaisia. I have aptasia too. This thing moves around the tank. It is about 1/4 to 3/8" diameter disc for a body. It comes out in the evening. I usually see it when I go in to turn off the lights.

I turned my pump on my fuge yesterday for the first time. I had the same problem with the siphoning when I turned my pump off. I was told by some people here to do the hole right below the water line thing. That is what I am planning to do. I just don't want to do it until I am sure where to...

I have a little organism in my tank that looks like a brown disk with many arms coming off of it. Almost looks like a cross between an urchin and a starfish. The arms are too numerous for it to be a starfish and they are only coming off of the outer edge of the disc shaped body so I don't...

I posted this in the New Hobbyist forum earlier. I really need some advice on this so I am posting it here too. I set up a refugium yesterday with PVC plumbing to and from the display. The fuge is in a closet behind the wall that is behind my display. I turned the MAG 5 pump on today and it...

I set up a refugium yesterday with PVC plumbing to and from the display. The fuge is in a closet behind the wall that is behind my display. I turned the MAG 5 pump on today and it seems very loud. I knew I didn't want very much flow through the fuge so I set it up so the out flow went through...

I have two 36" fixtures. One is a triple tube NO fixture with three white bulbs and two actinic bulbs. I also have a PC fixture that has 2 55W white bulbs. Let me know if you are interested and I will send photos. Anyone else interested? All of the bulbs have been used about a month. More...

I changed my CC to LS this weekend too. I put the CC in a hole in my back yard. If you get anyone to trade anything for it let me know. I will get mine out of the hole and trade it to them too.

Who is going to win this week. I will watch sadly as my beloved Steelers were awful this year. I like the Rams, Colts, Patriots, and Eagles.

I have two labs, one black and one chocolate. The black is 10 years old and the other one is 8. They are the best dogs int he world after they are 1 1/2 to 2 year old. The lab puppy stage is almost unbearable. I was at a point when my black lab (my first lab) was about 1 year old when i...

My refugium will end up being about 15 gallons. Shallow sand bed in the display? I thought most people liked a DSB in the display. Could you elaborate about the benefits of a shallow sand bed. I guess I could make a DSB in the refugium.

I am going to switch to a DSB (Southdown) and I am also setting up my refugium at the same time. Any "experts" out there want to comment on my plan? -Set up refugium with pipes, pump, and Southdown -Remove live rock and place into rubbermaid container -Drain most of the water from display into...

I am building a fuge and it is going to be located above my display in the closet behind the wall that is behind the tank. My idea is that I don't want very much flow through the fuge. Is that correct? All that will be in it is my skimmer and heater in the first area, one baffle and the rest...

I just bought 150-lbs of Southdown play sand. It says on the bag that it is "Not Recommended for Aquariums". I just want to make sure that it is ok to use what I bought. It is Southdown sand, it says it is from the Caribbean and that it is cleaned. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick help Bank Guy. Hey, I am in your neck of the woods this week or at least somewhat. I am near Rochester visiting the in laws for the Holiday. I guess I will try to drill it on the bottom. Anyone ever tried to drill a glass aquarium?

Here is a picture of what I have planned for my fuge. I am going to put it in a closet on the other side of the wall from my tank. I am going to put it a little higher than the main tank so I don't have to worry about overflow boxes etc... I want to just have it overflow into my tank and...
