Hey guys, I'm probably gonna go get 2 peppermint shrimps tonight to help with an Aptasia problem that I have. I've been told that my longnose hawk will decimate any shrimp... Is this true in all cases? If I add the shrimp with the lights out, shouldn't they be ok since they are nocturnal? Please...

I hear them..... they're coming.... yup.... It's definately sirens...

There's quite a few.. Depends on what you're looking for... check out: www.mops.ca (drygoods only) <-- highly recommended www.saltwaterconnection.com www.aquariumpros.ca www.aquacreations.ca www.jlaquatics.com There's more... but that's off the top of my head.

It is a Maxima "R" Air pump.. It's dual outlet, and adjustable air flow.

The airpump is brand new... bought it just for this occasion.

The aquarium is in a finished basement. This is also my playroom with my tv/audio. There are 2 small windows. The only AC in the house is in my bedroom, 2 floors up. The temp reading of 86 is the tank water only. I'm guessing that it's the VHO's causing the tank to get this warm, since it's...

I'll try it out, and get back to you... Should have more news for you tomorrow night.

kpogue, well, judging that your tank is 150gal, and mine is 90gal, I'm guesstimating that I'll be topping off close to 1gal every 2 days from evaporation. Which is not too bad. I will put one fan pushing in, and one pulling out... see how that goes. I'm going to get 2 220w 5" fans. I'll run them...

Drinking/spring water contail trace elements/minerals that you don't want in a tank.. Best is to use RO/DI water from walmart or your loca grocery store. Check for copper though the first time you get water from there.. Sometimes you get trace copper from the machine with Distilled water.. Maybe...

I guess I will try the fan thing.. Since it's a canopy, I'll have it blowing from back to front. I don't want to make holes in the canopy to fit a fan. Maybe 2 fans? One at each end?? Any other ways to cool things down?

Thanks! I found a pic in another thread, and that's definately it..

Dang heat... my tank got up to 86 last night... had to float bags of ice, and kept 2 out of 3 sets of my VHO's off today since it's gonna be another hot one... Is there a cheap way to cool things down without buying a chiller or floating bags of ice? Thanks!

Terry, You say keep a tight lid on... I have a canopy with an open back on my display tank... Will he find a way to jump out the back? If so, what do I do?

Yeah, My skimmer's skimming crap now... but it's LOUD. Any quiet adjustable air pump options?

Slothy... For mine?? I've got 6 VHO's (3 white aquatinic, 3 blue actinic) on my 90 gal.

From what several reliable sources have told me, a painted black bare bottom, or dark will suffice.. By bare, I meant, no substrate (ie: sand, etc...)

Ok, so my skimmer's already picking up some muck... What about the air pump? Any suggestions for an adjustable quiet pump? please???

Hey guys, I need help ID'ing a mysterious snail in my tank. It's about 3/4" long, oval, and a flat shell. It has two long (1/3") antenna's as well. Dunno what this guy is.. found him cruising along my LR and glass. Thanks.

I don't have cleaner shrimp (yet), but I do have a yellow tang, hippo tang, and a longnose hawk that all eat flake food right out of my hand... Handfed fish... who would've thunk it?
