    new eel

    Can I interrupt this post with a question? Are the Jeweled and the Mexican Dragon one and the same? What about the Brazilian Dragon? I read that they were, but then I saw a pic labeled as a Jewel, but it was somewhat blurry and did not look to be "horned" as the other Dragons. Confusing without...

    play sand for bottom material

    You should do a search for "sand" and read all the posts. You'll learn a lot! There are something like 4 brands of sand that pass the vinegar test (you drip a little vinegar on the sand and if it fizzes it's good)... I myself am in search of "pulverized limestone" by PAVESTONE that they do...

    I could. That's true. But since the odds are in favor of it NOT happening, I'm taking the chance. Same reason I DO NOT play the lottery... statistics! :hilarious

    other auction/used tank sites?

    Hmmm. I'm not sure he thought that whole "posting a pic" thing through. That might HINDER more than it helps... But I have an uncle that's way scarier looking and couldn't be nicer. Builds his own custom Harleys. Handy guy.

    Ah... That's okay. You probably have livestock that I'd wonder why YOU wanted! Diversity is good. From what I've read the breaking glass occurance is uncommon... and they are FASCINATING! Notice also that I did say I wanted a colorful one... they're BRILLIANT!

    Mantis quest

    I have a 30g with about 75lbs of LR... shrooms, rics, zoas, assorted snails, hermits, and worms... and one damsel that I wouldn't cry over. Been going for over a year now, with the LR just adding up... Couldn't decide what I wanted in there. Are you looking to adopt one out and checking...

    pic of my hand burnt by my MH!

    I was totally kidding - completely unoffended - 100% joking! Don't feel bad!! If I didn't want anyone to laugh at me, I would've kept it to myself. Right, Murph? But I lemme tell ya, no girl I know would think a scar on her forehead would look cool! Boys!

    Efficiency of Seq Dart pump on 210G

    Thanks! I think I'm going to err on the side of caution and go bigger than the Dart, just so I don't have to redo this!

    LOL! Was that a dig, Blaze? I'll have you know that my forehead is back to its former self, sans scar. Thankfully.

    Efficiency of Seq Dart pump on 210G

    Ah. Thank you for the response. So to be safe (on the conservative side), I should estimate about half the pressure to be depleted, and I should go bigger than a Dart, even with an additional pump on the skimmer... I like the attached diagram (All credit to HowieUMD ) for simplicity. Any...

    Anybody want some chaeto?

    Amanda- I got the chaeto this afternoon- Nice size bundle and very green. :cheer: Thanks again. Rest assured, when it starts choking up my future fuge, I'll pay it forward too. Take care! Darla

    Pics I told one here a while back I would upload when I a new digital camera

    DME- Gorgeous eels! Do your DMEs sit around with their mouths open like that, or were they posturing for the camera? My Kidako has been with me for a week and is still trying to be very scary My Zebra didn't do this, so I'm wondering about the behavior. Thanks!

    Efficiency of Seq Dart pump on 210G

    The tank and oak stand & canopy are by Oceanic. This whole situation is a PITA because I have no idea of stand measurements or where it's drilled. I can't really "plan" anything, but I'm dying to get the essentials out of the way. Has anyone bought the needle wheel skimmer & pump combos off The...

    Efficiency of Seq Dart pump on 210G

    My eyes just kinda glazed over ther for a few minutes... Okay, so I'm going to have to shell out more for a 55 for the sump. Gotcha. Will do. Trying to go cheap never works for me! Heh. I can't begin to plan out anything with elbows or pipes period at this point. I have no idea how the tank is...

    Mantis quest

    That was hilarious! My stomach hurts I laughed so hard. I even emailed it to my Asian stepmother and SHE thought it was hilarious! Of course, she's "a flip" as they call themselves, not Micronesian, so maybe that skewed her enjoyment as well. I hope no one comes along to protest the lack of...

    But, see... laughing at MY mental deficiency made it feel better for a sec, right? What are friends for? I think we were both just... unlucky. .. yeah....

    pic of my hand burnt by my MH!

    Ouch! That looks awful. I didn't take a picture, because photographic evidence of my own stupidity isn't something I wanna keep around... lol... but... I was cleaning my glass, bumped a zoa colony and automatically grabbed it before it could fall into the back of the rockwork... and bonked my...

    Upgrading without another cycle?

    Fabulous. I think I'll get some just to be on the safe side. I'll need to get my eel in there asap - he can't be too happy in the 90! Thanks for the responses!!

    Upgrading without another cycle?

    I won't be adding much LR, because I'm planning for a ray along with my eel... so that's out. Will adding the bottled bacteria have any adverse affects on the LR or LS? I can't think of any, but what do I know? LOL!
