    Blueleg Hermit Crabs......reproducing?

    jib-- I bought the 50 shells off this site to try and keep my blue legs from killing each other and the snails...it didn't work. I may have helped a little, maybe, but they still like to kill each other and my snails. I think hermits go through a plantonic (horrible spelling) stage so I doubt...

    Mushroom propogation

    My shrooms really exploded when I let the nitrates get up to 20 ppm. I don't think it was a coincidence...they had stayed pretty quite up until then. Now they are moving all around and getting really big.

    Snails and hermit preferences?

    I agree with most of the people above. Red legs and better neighbors than their blue legged cousins. I like the Mexican Turbos. They are huge, but they can turn themselves over, eat red slime, and my blue legs do not bother them.

    Red Slime Algae

    I have battled the stuff as a result of my reliance on tap water. I used a chemical to kill the stuff and it worked well, but it always comes back a few months later. It could be from old bulbs if everything tests well. Older bulbs can have their specs. fall off and it will show up...

    OT - HAIRTRIGGER - Patriot Act 2?

    The Constitution was not written to make law enforcement easy. As for our "damn rights", many people shed blood to get and keep them. I guess they did not think enough of how it would inconvience you. I agree that Bush has been a disaster as a president. He is unelected and becoming less and...

    light/flowerpots

    I just lost two vho bulbs to salt creep and I am so poor right now (student loans just kicked in, credit cards, bills, stress related hair loss) I may have to wait a few weeks to replace them. My question is will going from 300 watts on my 75 to 80 watts hurt my corals? I have ricordia, dwarf...

    coolest avatar!?

    I think I should win because in my 20 odd years of being a fan, it would be nice if the Cubs could be attached to winning in some capacity. Please, look in your hearts and understand how miserable this team has made my life. Throw me a bone.;)

    ballast burnout?

    A few days ago my Hamilton ballast running 2 110w vho's stopped working. I cannot think of what could have caused this. I have checked the bulbs, connections, wires, blah, blah, blah... Does this happen? Will they just quit on you? It is only 6 months old. Is there a fuse or anything I...

    Anyone ever get a clean up crew package from this site ?

    Not be a butt smoocher, but I have ordered several packages from here, as well as 90-100#'s of lr and 60#'s of ls....I have been very satisfied. If you look at the prices and the attention you will get for any questions--I am still back for more. Go for it.

    Fuge owners......

    I have one of the cpr hang on refuges with a 13 watt pc clip on light. It works fine for me...getting lots of macro growth, pods everywhere, and something new to look at. I did change from the 200 gph rio pump it came with, piece of noisy junk that broke, to a fluval 4 (280 gph).

    Bug of the Week

    I am glad to see this sticky...I have these guys and have wondered for months what they were. I have noticed a drop in my pod population and have tried to counter it with a refuge. It just seemed hard to imagine one of these delicate looking guys getting through a power head. I also think I...

    Lawnmower blennie, do they eat flakes or frozen foods?

    Yeah, I have one that is a total glutton. He will eat most anything I feed with and in large portions. I have never heard of one being very picky.

    sea test hydrometer

    I have one of those little cheap Sea Test hydrometers and it is getting a little dirty. I was wondering how people clean theirs without messing it up. I remember it came with instructions, but i have long since lost them. Thanks.

    Mandarine in trouble

    This may be a bit late but...buy a refuge if you can. I have 115#'s of lr and I began to worry about my mandarin so I added a refuge only a few weeks ago. The pods seem to really thrive in the thing, maybe the 24/7 lighting-but I have no idea. Anyway--you can really up your pods with one of...
