I cant get that post for some reason Drakken. I thought I was being original. If I make $$ from it, I will be sure to share the royalties

thanks for the pics. That looks bigger than 20g. is the entire tank 20g or is just the center part 20g?

momma always said...."life is like a box of lr....you never know what you gonna get......"

based upon what you are saying, I am assuming you haven't cycled your display tank yet. I believe that once the rock is cured, it will not aide in cycling the new tank. You will need to use a piece of shrimp (or live fish depending on how you feel about torturing little fishies) to cycle the...

i would say its worth it just for the volume of water. You will still need to be vigilant about your water condition, but the more water, the more fogiving the system will be IMO.

is your 75g filled with water and cycled? If not, you will need to cycle again. Using the uncured rock in your main tank will cycle that water. do not use the ps yet. if you are going to continue to cycle the lr in the 30g tub, I would add another ph unless you are getting enough water...

here is a crude example of what baffles do. as the water flows from left to right (for this pic), you force the water to move up and down giving the air bubble more opportunity to escape

Originally posted by Kipass4130 wrap them in paper soaked in tankwater and pile them in a box... no need to bag for such a short trip i do this with rock from 45 mins away no problem i agree. have done this many times (40 min) and never had any issues.

very nice. Your spouse must be real understanding to give up all that room in the dining room. good luck with your new business

from what I understand about sumps, I would also try baffles first

I would lower your sg to under 1.025

It would depend on when the last time it molted was (unless they molt from stress which I don't think they do). The cleaner I had molted every few months or so. If you leave the shell in, the crabs will make quick work of it, or you can simply remove it. Just your preference. I have not had...

have a great time and be sure to share your pics when you get back!

double ditto kip:D

Originally posted by RyeBread Hmm.......have you ever tried to grab ahold of an Aiptasia with a pair of tweezers or stick one with a hypodermic needle to inject hot water or kalk? I have. They do the exact same thing. Not saying that these are 100% positively Aiptasia but, they look just like...

Originally posted by Daniel411 I've learned to live by this: pay for all sw related stuff with cash, and never ever look back at the receipts! I shred the receipts so the wife doesn't see :D

weekly for now, but slowly backing off as things seem very stable right now.

I do agree that that first pic does look like aptasia, but I have had an encounter with those little #$%^&'s before, and I am positive these are not aptasia. Some type of feather duster as waterfaller1 said.

This next pic is immediately after spraying with water. You can see they retracted back into their tubes. Aptasia do not do that.

I think it is the picture quality. Take a look at the following. This pic is right before I spray with water. You can see them out of their tubes.
