Oh I know he was trying to help. Outside of telling me that he works at a doo-doo plant. But him also telling me that he houses his under a 10K - also shows me that he doesnt even believe what he is saying. Either that or just doesnt know. The way that 4K to 20K is based on the water depth. 20K...

You werent trying to help. LOL. You showed me pictures of a seahorse (WOW!!) and a anemone that the color is beginning to drain out of. 6 weeks is also a VERY long time for a clam to withstand water conditions in the event that it was or ever will be unhappy. Once again, confined information in...

PS: Most likely ALL of EVERY part of your testing equiptment cost more then my car(s). I have a friend that does engineering for Denver that says that some of the probes on the 20 some odd pieces of testing equiptment cost in the 100 thousand dollar range. Chances are a single wire inside of one...

Amazing!!! A water purification plant (where my craps go) has water testing for sea water levels? I am not being sarcastic. I am EXTREMELY interested. I find it AMAZING that you have the ability to test your water there. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way saying what you are saying is false...

You dont need luck. You just have to know how to keep your water quality perfect. Including all elements. I have a friend that has had a 80 dollar Rose Bubble Tip under 92 watts of T (whatever) lighting on a 75 gallon tank for over 3 years now. Guess for some people MH's is the answer - water...

read the original post. Any light that supports even the lower end spectrum clams, is going to be more then enough to even host a Rose Bubble Tip

My water conditons are 5 times better then perfect. See the clam? And a Bubble Tip is having issues?

I am running 18 inches deep with 265 watts and pretty much stock everything and all of it is growing HUGE. Even after 4-5 months. (PC Lighting too). I havent gotten to SPS corals - thats the only thing.

The scratches are on the glass.

So last night I fed him a piece of tilapia. The thing hasnt done much more then this all day. However he is still VERY attached to the rock of where he is at. Any ideas? Tilapia have to much iodine or something? Below is a pick of my Squamosa 2 weeks in. My Derasa is doing fine after 6 weeks of...

SUPER deal. I am cool with the guy that runs the LFS for my corals. I hate to sound like I am rubbing it in with my posts though.

Just kidding. $8.06 with tax for this candy cane. Unfortunetely the order didnt get in till 7 tonight so I JUST got home with the thing and stuck it in my tank. That is why it is still closed and dark. Green center with red rim though. Cant wait to see it open tomorrow. I AM PUMPED!!!

I cant say either way. The guy at one of my LFS told me not to worry about stinging nearby corals. Any way, I am still giving it its own section of the tank right near the middle with about 8 inches (at the biggest size of a bubble tip) away from the nearest coral.

AND I DONT HAVE HALIDES!!!! LOL. Here is the growth of my Derasa over the last month. That white part on the side of his shell, from where it turns brown to white, is how much he has grown in the last month alone. That is about 1/2 an inch.

Heres an extra kicker that I thought you clam lovers would like. This thing was in the LFS where I got the squamosa, and it is EASILY 30 inches long and about 2 feet wide. It's the size of my 11 pound nephew.

The Squamosa (Sam) got him for 20 bucks with the trade of some xenia frags and got the yellow fiji leather for 8 dollars. I know the cyno looks like garbage but it was a small price to pay to get 20 LBS for 12 bucks.

So i dont get it. I can understand that putting a big chunk of metal in your fish tank would release toxins into the water. I was also told by people to use "wedding vail" type material to hold down a coral. What are the consequences of using thumb tacks (with the plastic tips) and driving them...

I am thinking of adding a rose BTA to my tank for my clownfish. The thing that bothers me is the price. Most places that I am looking are selling them for 80 bucks. However I found a LFS around here (after calling about 10) that can order me one for 37 bucks. So I guess that is a deal and a...

From what I read - it says that its polyps can extend far past its base and sting other corals. So I am not to into it right now. I may get used to it after seeing how far they actually extend after it acclimates for a few weeks.

So I guess I paid 15 bucks for the thing and didnt even want it? In the pic where you can tell the full length, just a reference, that it is about 7-8 inches long. It was burried in some rock rubble at the time, and I thought it was a flowerpot. Oh well. I'll just leave it be and see it grow.
