LoL.....that is a very well written obituary! I love how honest and straightforward it is. Reading an obituary like that makes me think about life and not just death and loss. It makes me regret not meeting that person. Finally, it leads me to wonder what mine would say.....unfortunately I don't...

I'm so sorry to hear about your CT, my condolences :( In my opinion, updates don't have to be only 'good' news....in fact it's more true-to-life when you include both the ups and the downs. I feel bad that you are going through so much right now. I'm sure readers of a thread can gain a couple of...

I bought a 'fake' barnacle cluster from my LFS for my fish to hide out in. It says it's "marine safe" is this true? Should I worry about the plastic/chemicals/paint leaching into the saltwater aquarium? I know 'natural' would probably be better, but I don't live anywhere near a beach and hate to...

I wish I had your problem! I would LOVE it if my Kenya Trees would spread! What's your secret, how do I get them to grow? I've had two in my tank for somewhere between 3-4 months and they seem a little bigger but haven't spread at all. I even have them right up close to my rock work...and they...

I totally agree with everyone on the great amount of personality they have. Mine is huge, and he's always busy. My fish don't want anything to do with him, however I think I've seen him try to clean them a few times. When I feed my fish, the CS comes up to the surface of the water and will...

Quote: YEAH.....It's been pretty boring lately :( I totally agree, it feel spooky that it's so quiet on this forum. I'm in 'limbo'. I set up my QT almost 2 months ago and was planning on adding a Midas and Royal Gramma...then that plan fell through. We've been looking for a home to buy, and...

I'm so sorry to hear about your poor lion! :( It's surprisingly easy to get attached to these amazing sea creatures. How are the other fish, any problems with them as well? What do your most recent water tests indicate?? Keep doing water changes, and testing the water frequently. Make sure you...

There was definitely around 1.5 - 2 inches of water that evaporated. I don't have an auto top off, I really wish I did though! I have no idea how I'd add one to a BioCube It's unfortunate, because, when my water isn't at the right level (or close to the right level, my protein skimmer doesn't...

How are your fish Tiffany? Have they healed up or back in the DT yet?

Thanks guys (and gals :) The only reason I've been continuously running the QT without actually using was because I was hoping/expecting to find the fish I've been looking for (an 'African' Midas Blenny) and I wanted to be ready. I recently decided that I'm just going to order it online along...

I would love to add a Peppermint shrimp or two.....I just have a (really huge) Skunk Cleaner shrimp that is kind of an evil Peppermint Shrimp serial killer. Before I realized what was happening, the skunk cleaner had literally killed and eaten 4 Peppermint shrimp. The last one he killed, I saw...

arrrrrrghhh....I wish I had known they were so difficult when I got them. It's kind of annoying now...haha Like the experts say "Research everything!!!" I certainly didn't do that in this case. I purchased two and and have one left. It's been in there for around 3 weeks now and so far it seems...

They survived! I left the lights on the timers and made sure to feed them right before I left. They were perfectly fine when I came home this past Monday. They were pretty hungry, but other than that the fish and coral looked good.

I'm changing out the bag of Chemi-Pure Elite in my tank and I know that it should be rinsed first. In the past, I've always done this right after a water change and so I've used the 'old' tank water to rinse the Chemi-Pure. The problem I have now is: First...... I've had a 10 gallon QT set up...

Quote: I would leave the lights Them them on, off, or on their regular schedule? I'm a little nervous about trusting a friend to feed my critters while I'm gone....I'm just nervous she'll over feed. Will these guys be okay, or should I be super specific. I do feed frozen, but I can leave the...

I'm leaving Thursday night and will be returning Monday morning. That leaves my tank without any supervision for 3 days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) It's a 29 gallon BioCube reef tank with: 2 Clowns & 1 Fire Fish 1 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, 1 Feather Duster, (bunch of Nass., Ceriths, and Astria...

I keep thinking about what Spanko said about the cloudy eye being caused by some sort of trauma.....and then the wounds on your CT...I wonder what happened to cause all this? Could there have been a little fish fight going on???

Oh my gosh you're right!!! I never thought of it that way.... It's kind of like providing a down payment on an assisted living facility, except our house will be that facility. Oh boy, this is definitely something Derek and I should take into consideration.

oh no! I'm so sorry for the loss of 'The Dog' :( I wish I was more experienced and able to offer some sort of advice. The most I can offer is my deepest sympathies and support. Keep your head up, I'm positive that you and your fish will make it through this! Any time you need to vent or need a...

I'm so glad that your shrimp and Fire Fish are doing well! My Fire Fish loves to hide in her little cave. Quote: Patience and logging often on this forum are the best way to minimize your suffering Scrapman is TOTALLY right! Without asking questions and having patience I would have crashed my...
