why can't you keep peppermint shrimp? I got one for my 12 gallon and within a few days all my aptasia was wiped out. much better than any aptaisia injection i could get.

it was a solid brown bubble mass thing...i'll have to find it in my rockwork...it was gone when i came back to it...he seems okay for now, eatting everyday to every other day, fully open and mouth is pretty much closed. i keep a close eye on him and see what happens. thanks for all the...

thanks...anyone know what anenome poop looks like? it just made a big brownish redish thing this morning. I just fed it last night, so i don't know if its poop or if its the zooanthelle stuff.

how long do you think a bleached anenome will live? could it ever get it's zoanthelle back?

I just purchased a LTA a week ago and i think it's bleached. i thought it was a light blue color when i purchased it, but its actually pretty white without the actinic lights on...it seems to be doing pretty well...it's already burried its foot int he sand...its wide open, mouth is closed and...

anyone???

anyone have any idea how to modify a skimmer or upgrade with another pump inexpensively? I have a AMS mini G skimmer, pump doesn't seem to produce enough bubbles...therefore not much gunk. Is there a way to use a maxi jet 1200 or do i need to buy something with a impeller wheel, such as what is...

How do you all keep your nitrates low in a nano tank without a skimmer or refugium? I just got one...I don't have a protein skimmer, using carbon and bio-balls...I think i want to change my bioballs out and use purigen or something other than bioballs as i know they can be a nitrate factory...

well, I feel a little bit better as i got some raw shrimps today(made my wife go to the fish stand and get 5 shrimp...she felt crazy asking for so few). I cut off a piece the size of a penny and cut it open and put some cyclopeeze in there and fed him. He took it right away and within 5-10...

Thanks for your advise...i thought the 4 watts per gallon in my nano would be fine... So how do i feed him? I tried giving him a cube of mysis shrimp, but he barely reacts to it...should i get some raw shrimp? do i just put it near him mouth? Well since i last moved him, he's attached himself...

thanks...i have him under 54 watts of compact pc lighting. 27 watts 10K and 27 watts actinic. This is way more light that the LFS had him under...he was originally under 20 watts of actinic light...(made him look better) His tentacles are not shrunken, but it is firm and doesn't move...i just...

I can see where you guys are coming from. I agree that you should do the research, but some people would think that the store should have an idea...but that's not always true...sometimes it is the LFS fault giving bad advice. I can understand a High School kid earning minimum wage giving bad...

Well, i just tried to move him and he is barely contracting...this doesn't look good guys...please share your thoughts...

I just got my first LTA in my 12 gallon nano. He moved around a bit the first day after he opened up...but over the second day, he hasn't moved at all. He's wide open, but the mouth is also open and the tentacles are curled towards the mouth. It's still alive because if i touch it it'll...

what do you feed them??? i just got some zoa's but i haven't fed them...also some came on my liverock...thanks.

actually, i think you can find the 150 watt online somewhere....i already have my 120watt sitting around so i didn't order another one.

no idea what i have...it just say 120watts on it...it's the spirally one...looks a little yellow to me, but it's making my chaeto grow out of control...it's more exciting than my fish...:) everyfew days i look and its bigger!!! :)

what about the drinking water stores???

then dont leave it on 24/7...i don't have anything except live rock and the chateo...so it's not going to hurt anything...plus it makes my stand glow at night...so it serves as a night light as well for the living room!

yeah...100% serious...I was skeptical but after these past two weeks...forget the expensive light for chaeto! I bought 5$ worth from the LFS and now i've got a piece about 12 inch square....started off the size of two brillo pads...now its huge. Once my nitrates are under control, i'll trade it...
