    Protein Skimmers on an Eclipse

    Hiya, I have the 37 gallon eclipse and my LFS person was able to cut a hole in the back of the hood so that I could put a HOB skimmer. I'll do my best to try and take some pictures of it tonight for you. He did some research on the internet about it and found the plans. Not sure I where...

    Hiya, I'd be really worried about polutions. I think you have to go 5 miles out to get clean sand and stuff. Personally, I wouldn't try it. Meadbhb

    brown legged hermit crabs

    Hiya, Hmmm, something I am afraid of. Maybe I'll let them stay at the LFS for a while and see how they do. Maybe get some feedback from folks that might have boufht one/some already. Better safe then sorry. Meadbhb

    diving for fish? what checmical is used to slow them down...?

    Hiya, I want to say I saw someone use a sucker gun to capture small fish with once. Works kinda like a bass fish, when feeding. When they open their mouth they suck in their prey, but it was shapped more like a gun. Am I making any sense? Wish I could remember what show I saw that on. Meadbhb

    brown legged hermit crabs

    Hiya, These guys are are as large or larger then the average sized land hermits you see in stores for sale as pets. They need a large shell, though, not the size of one that fills your whole palm. Nope, not hairy. Pale beige color no stripes or spots that I could see. Tried doing a search on...

    Protein Skimmer Help Please!

    Hiya, Sounds like you're getting to much oxygen in your skimmer. Try to adjust the oxygen or flow down so that it doesn't over flow. I'd let it run for a few days as a break in period to get rid of the bubbles. Meadbhb

    Pom Pom crab

    Hiya, I would think so. I've had mine for several months now and he's moulted at least once. Hasn't gotten any bigger then a quarter. I've almost got mine trained to come out on command. When I drop pellets in the tank for the shrimp and crabs, he'll come out and fight for one. Really the...

    shrunken leather

    Hiya, Shedding it's skin? I didn't know leathers did this. What do I need to look for? Forgot to mention it's color's a little off and i can see the spots where it's polps should be, kinda like white dots on a purple grey background. Usually it's a nice healthy flesh color. Meadbhb

    Fish stocking suggestions/ideas

    Hiya, i've got about 75 lbs of rock in mine, give or take 30 lbs live, 40 base, with the tank being 4 months old. My scooter wiped out my pod population in no time. I'm hoping it will learn to eat frozen mysin. I'm also going to start releasing live brine shrimp into the tank. Meadbhb

    shrunken leather

    Hiya, I purchased a piece of rabbit ear leather, check my other threads, there's a picture, about a month ago. It's been doing wonderfully, was extended almost 3 times it's size from when I first purchased it, polps out and growing. However, this weekend, it shrank back to almost nothing...

    Fish stocking suggestions/ideas

    Hiya, Don't get a green manderine unless you have 100 lbs of live rock and a very mature tank. They eat pods and are VERY hard if impossible to convert to processed foods. I loved my six line ::sniff::. He was a great little fish, don't know what happened to him. I only had a scooter in the...
