    Mushroom ID, please!

    Are they the same color and size as they were in the store? Ours change to a different color at night and if they get stressed (like when I or a crab touch them). Shrooms usually are pretty prolithic.

    What livestock can i have?

    What size tank and how many watts? I've got 160 watts of NO flourescents on our 75 gallon and the mushrooms are growing like crazy! We also have a "hairy" mushroom and a "pimple" mushroom and a toadstool leather. The last three are up high in the tank - about 5-6 inches from the surface and...

    What to Do With Loose Zoos

    They must be bulletproof and have nerves of steel. Or maybe they are parents. . . . Either explanation could work. :thinking: I beg your pardon! I was stuck thinking about my kids. I'm sure yours are perfectly well behaved. WHich is the most likely explanation.

    "Obey wan the Goby is a neon goby" LOL-for real!! But, does Obey Wan use the mind trick on you to get fed more often or anything ? ? Obey wan said, "I want to get a bigger tank"(with a small wave of the fin). Chiquita says in a monotone, "I want to get a bigger tank". Obey Wan said, "I will...

    What to Do With Loose Zoos

    My 3 smallest usually go with me. I think we might get waited on faster because of the "fear factor" of a 2, 3 and 5 year old loose in the store!

    Making a Refugium

    Hey Smoney! YOu probably don't want to slow the overflow plumbing going into the fuge with a valve. Besides, it will only flow OUT of the display as fast as you put water IN. I would aslo get as big of a tank that will FIT and I could afford for a fuge/sump. WHen ya start dividing it, it gets...

    Leather toad stool

    I don't think I can post the link to the "Geothermal Auqaculture Research Foundation" (dot org) here. But if one were to find them on the web, they could look at their propagation section for "Sarcophyton" and get the low down. The jist is to cut off the top and then slice it into pie shapes...

    Refugium question

    Ours is a 29 gallon baffled into 3 sections. The right is about 10 gallon fuge - the left is for the skimmer/heater and they both flow to the middle which is the return. Bret, you will find the "tee" and ball valve to limit flow through the fuge section. Also a smaller valve/line to return...

    Barrier Reef

    There are incintives in my area to build "feed barns" for cattle to help collect manure-especially in close proximity to waterways. Another idea that could help may be large ponds/lakes downstream from farms of a certain size that would help filter the water before being sent on eventually to...

    Barrier Reef

    Limiting the amount of fertilizer used by farmers seems like a more practical solution. I would LOVE to see a big 'ole fuge, though! :joy:
