My fish only feed their guts, not their anemone. I feed mine raw shrimp from the seafood counter but it also gets food when I fee the tank. I wish it would stop growing!

Oops, you answered one of my questions while I was writing my post.

How old is your tank? How much do you feed? How long are your lights on? How often do you do water changes?

I don't know about the PraziPro, I thought the only thing that got rid of Ich was copper. IIRC, I thought that the treatment would be to put the fish in a QT with some copper and leave the DT empty of fish for 6 weeks. Copper kills inverts too and I think leeches into the tank like Panacur...

Does anyone attend the society meetings? I was thinking about going to tonights meeting but I've never been and just wondering if it is fun to go to?

You need to go back and read Ann's post number 14. Make sure you are using RO/DI water or water that you've treated for chlorine. The pH needs to be the exact same in both the salt and fresh. What I've done in the past is to get the pH perfect, then work on the temp, keep an airline and...

I know it's hard! But you've got to do it! It's not the water that's causing your baby to thrash, it's probably the parasites coming off it that is causing it. In your case, the thrashing is a good thing, that means that if you look really, really close you'll probably see the parasites...

I just started my first cultures of phytoplankton. I've bought the supplies from Florida Aqua Farms and am using 2 liter bottles to culture in. I noticed that they have a set up that is built from PVC in which they use plastic bags to culture the phyto. Has anyone tried using plastic bags...

How's the hunting going?

Yep, looking forward to the picts! I'm glad it's got a good home.

+1 with Teresa on the chiller. I have 3 seahorse tanks and 1 reef tank, I've finally got chillers on all of them. I think that is probably the best piece of equipment I've spent my money on. In the other thread, I posted a photo of my powerheads with the window screen on them. I'll admit that...

Here's a photo of my return. The photo also shows my powerheads with the screen covering them. They aren't that pretty but I don't have to worry about my horses getting stuck in them.

On the question of flow, what kind of seahorses are you planning on keeping? On my H. erectus tank, I used PVC to bring the return back into the tank and by drilling holes into a piece of piping, I made my own spray bar across the back of the tank. That allows me to diffuse the water and get...

Stick with it Lois!! Maybe you can borrow the bobbit worm from Cranberry.

Oooh!!! Love the video. I'm trying to upload some too but it won't be as nice!! I've put the link on a scuba forum where I've been posting the whole hunting story. Lois, thanks for thinking about other pieces of it!! Very little of that rock will go into my reef tank or seahorse tanks...

I looked in it's bucket a few minutes ago and it was in half now. I hadn't moved the bucket or done anything but wonder if it is a defensive tactic. I think I remember reading somewhere that it can generate another worm from the half that it broke off.

I got it and it's alive! Ewww!

Sorry Renee, I was really hoping to be able to take it alive. I really hate to kill anything, especially if someone wants it. I tested the tank water this morning. Ammonia is 0 and Nitrites are 0. How long would it take for there to be a reading if there was going to be one?
