If I'm not mistaken, the isotope used for calculating the age of rocks breaks down quicker under intense pressures/heat. THus, if said conditions were produced, a rock would appear older than normal half life would indicate. What IF: when the plates shifted (after a flood or something) some...

:jumping: Do you put them in a QT to dose the visine? Or how many drops per gallon is that for the display? Great pics of a great looking critter. I want one.

Did you say you are a supervisor, as well? If so, then crack the whip. Dead fishes lying around=heads rolling. In any event. Whether you are the super or not, take ownership of the place. I know that sounds wierd and I'm sure you already feel very strongly about the place and critters...

Sorry-purple firefish. And we will take pics of whatever you get. Well. . .you take the pics then we'll TAKE the pics.... oh never mind-you know what I mean.

These are the only fish in a 75 gallon. They seem to have plenty of room. The pseudo-chromis isn't agressive towards anyone(yet). We've had her (pinky) about 2 months or so. She was the last fish in.

What happens if you use "red eye reduction" on your camera and take a pic of this guy? Things that make you say, "Hmmmm. . . ." :thinking:

Emerald mithrax? I don't know about the brownish spots, though.

These look very nice in person. Better color than the pic. I'm pretty sure they stay small, too. Good luck! And for goodness sakes, post some pics!!

Rainford goby? :thinking: I'll check that out. No agressive fishes--2 oscillaris clowns, 1 mandarin, 1 LMB and 1 strawberry pseudochromis.

I saw some of these in a LFS today. THis pic isn't the best but you get the Idea. Cool fish. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4

Try this: "I seem to have lost my phone number. May I have yours?" This is SO corny that it gaurantees a smile, if not laughter. PS Have a good follow up line to let her know you aren't phyco.

Thanks for the replies! I have a LMB but he seems more interested in the stuff on the glass than in the hair algae. Do they not like it as well when it gets bigger? Or is he just not able to keep up? I HAVE seen the scarlet/red legs eating it.

I have some of these and have noticed them eating coraline(at least it sure looks like they are!) The coraline usually come right back. No biggie. A buddy of mine has hundreds if not thousands of them in his 65. He is going to try a harlequin shrimp to regulate their numbers. Any thoughts...

Thanks Dogstar. Are those a type of Nudibranch? I've read that "lettuce leaf" (common name) nudis will eat hair algae. I think my problem started when a powerhead fell off the tank wall and stirred my DSB. :scared: And, no. (shame on me) I havn't checked my nitrates. I had just checked...

A buddy of mine uses dried macro algae sheets to feed his tang and crabs too. He'll hold it under the surface and just kinda crumble it as it soaks up the water. Tangs LOVE it. I believe the name of the product was "seaweed select." HTH

Ok. It's about time that I got some help for my cleaner crew. The hair algae is getting pretty obnoxious. What is everyones favorite/best pick for critters that eat this funky stuff? :help:
