Poll For Good Advice? Aw, man. I thought this was the poll for bad advice. I guess I'm lost. LOL, really, I used to feed mine every other days. Usually with phytoplankton and the like. Good luck with yours.

Yeah, I think it was around noon on Saturday. All I know is that I logged on and saw a new forum w/o any posts, so I booked it to the forum and got the first post/thread in this one. I'm still upset about not getting the first post in the New Hobbiest forum. :p

You don't vacuum the sandbed at all. I have never once vacuumed my DSB and don't plan on it. The only marine substrate I have ever vacuumed was crushed coral. Hope you get this before you do the water change.

I have a DSB in the 75G, and that's about 450 lbs in itself, and I have a VDSB in the Fuge, I did the 75G's DSB first, and just used what I had left for the fuge, I wouldn't have cared if it was 10" of LS, it would gone in there. It's only about 6-7" though.

I have a 75G Reef, with 225 lbs LR and 600 lbs LS. The LR and LS is split among the 75G and the 25G fuge that accompanies it, but I'm not sure how much is in which, but the majority of it is in the Main Tank. My question is whether my tank will be able to sustain a mated pair of Mandarin...

I think that he deserves it, but that's up to SWF.com

I'll start it off with a picture of a REAL fish. Very funny name, but this is a real fish.

I'm first! Woo-Hoo! :D Great Idea SWF.com!!! I guess this means I have to post a pic??? If I do, I'll do it below.

Sammy, I thought that coralline helped corals in attaching to the rock, like when they grow and spread, it makes it easier or something like that. I can't exactly word it right, but my LFS owner said something to that extent, a long time ago when I asked him what coralline algae was.

Originally posted by chef jaysen One bad thing about stone crabs...........They are ILLEGAL to own. I won't tell if you don't. :rolleyes: They look really cool, but I don't really have a spare tank to devote to one of the fellas, plus that little detail involving the law. Nice pic though.

:eek: Mantis?!? Where??? :eek: Seriously, though, to me it look to be some sort of zoo, but it's sort of hard to tell.

I've been itching to see the coralline growth all of your guys and gals tanks. So, anyone that can, could you please post pics of the coralline that has grown IN your tank, meaning since you got the LR and all. I really want to see how much success everyone's had growing their coralline...

Now it all makes sense. Is that why your name and info was messed up a little while ago?

Way to stop that one in its tracks, Sammy. So, it's actually safe to use? What if the bag says something to this extent: May Contain Free Silicates Would I be safe to use it? I think it's some Quickrete, but I'm not sure. I'm waiting for my SD to show up, but have just been wondering. In...

I haven't had one, but I know that the CPR's come with them as Bubble-Traps and to quiet the return down.

Hey, I have a SeaClone 100 for sale. It is about 1 to a 1 1/2, and is run by a Maxi-Jet 1200. It's a great skimmer for up to 75G, but any larger would require the SeaClone 150. Anyways, the reason for selling is that I found a Berlin Skimmer for a great price, and couldn't pass on it. It...

Yeah, there is a guy at my Dad's lab that started out as a Marine Biologist and was at Scripps, but changed and became a Biotech Engineer. I've also got a friend who's really into Egyptology, LOL, it's a funny word, like Fishology. :D

Sounds good! :cool: I LOVE Flame Scallops, but from what I've heard they have dismal survival rates in captivity, hope you prove me wrong. If you have a good experience I may look into getting one. Keep us informed.

I wouldn't mind getting free DSL or Dial-Up. Sounds like I should call and "cancel". ;)
