Picked up the food last night. Both clowns hit the cyclop-eeze like it was candy. Saw the bangaii eat some. Tonight I did a little mix of the ova and the cyclop and I think the hunger strike is over. Seems like the ova got the bangaii out.

Evolution is a fact, intelligent design is faith, as evidence is not likely to exist or be discovered to prove it as fact. That does not imply that the two are mutually exclusive. The notion that one disproves the other is an ideological false choice. One can look at available evidence and...

Coming up on four days following acclimation and the two clown additions seem to be doing pretty well, but the bangaii is on a hunger strike. Feeding mysis. Going back to the LFS to pick up cyclop-eeze and ova? LFS said that was what they were feeding previously and perhaps the mysis is too...

before pic... hated that eclipse setup. was worried that the stand would go at any moment. new setup no more micro bubbles...

Well, finally set up a photobucket account, so I'll get to those pics in a sec. Got a new API marine & reef test kit. #'s looked OK. Need to get accustomed to the color matches for results. 79 deg sg 1.0255 ph 8.0 amm 0 nitrites 0 nitrates 0 -10 calcium 540 KH 143.2 / 8 phos 0-0.25 Had a tough...

I always found it interesting that throughout history viewpoints that conflict with accepted theories are met with such passionate opposition from the scientific community. I am not referring to outlandish claims or conspiracy theories, but plausible thought out hypothesis... say, mans role or...

successful move. Yesterday we emptied the tank, moved to the new stand/location, cleaned up the LR, water change, and put it all back together. After a shy hide stretch the Clarkii is seemingly pleased and back to swimming all over. Generally pleased with the new equipment. The koralia...

I have an existing 29g fowlr setup that has been running for 6-years. 2-3 inch sand bed, 25lbs live rock, 2 maxi jet 600 PH's, an eclipse hood w/ carbon & bio-wheel. Top off w/ store bought RO water. sg- 1.026 temp- 78 ph - 8.4 amm.- 0 nitrites- 0 nitrates- 5 The only inhabitant has been a...

I acclimated a LMB about a week and a half ago. 3 hour drip and water quadrupled in clean bucket. No lights or powerheads for 3 hours. He seemed to do well. Swimming around tank and rockwork, pecking the algae on the glass and rocks. About two days ago I noticed he seemed somber? hanging...

No hood. just glass.

I have a 29g that is 30" long... Should I purchase the 24" or 30" lights? Will the 24" fit with legs? Has anyone had an expirience with this that would say 'definitely go with the ___"? Does it matter? The only reason I ask is I can by the 24's local and I would have to order the 30's... All...

Do you drip acclimate snails? Or float and drop? Nassarius specifically... thanks

I have spirolina and a LMB on a hunger strike in the QT. How do you soak your spirolina in garlic? Is it as obvious as it sounds?

Ok, he stays in QT for another week and a half. I got some algae sheets this morning. I cut a piece and have it on a magnet in the QT. Hopefully he will eat soon!
