No mate. Eighteen hours later, these tiny things are still mostly sitting where they dropped. They circulate in the water if disturbed, but the other fish are leaving them alone. I found an article online somewhere that talked about another kind of puffer's eggs measuring about 0.4 mm in...

I just witnessed my 8" dogface puffer, who has been looking bloated these last couple days, circle the tank expelling about a 5 foot trail of what I can only describe as (forgive me) yellowish bubble diarrhea. :notsure: Now these tiny "bubbles" are all over the tank--some circulating, some...

Anybody have experience with big triggers? My clown in 8" and I'm just wondering what's ahead for him. (I put pix in the trigger picture thread) He's been in a 250 since he was a baby. Will this continue to hold him? He's docile toward the other fish as long as I put in enough food at once...

My dogface likes krill, silversides, romaine lettuce, and the occasional bloodworm or beef heart cube. I drop frozen cockles-in-the-shell (little clams) for my trigger to spend an afternoon with, but the dogface hasn't seemed to catch on to those. My Porcupine puffer eats frozen krill and...

Here's my clown's baby picture. He was about 2.5 inches at the time, in the Fall of 2003: Here's my bad boy at 2 1/2 years old, approximately 8 inches, guarding his beloved cockles Here he is hanging out with his little buddy:

Frozen krill and frozen squid (thawed.) Get them from the freezer at the LFS.

I dropped it in, it slammed its shell shut, and nobody can get into it! Should I add "1 mussel" to the bottom of my fish list? :notsure:

I bought a single fresh mussel at the fish counter today. Can I drop it in for my clown trigger? I don't want to drop any parasites into the tank too. Should I blanch it first? Or should I just forget about the whole thing?

No progress on the scratches. So, anyone who watches it, picture some big doozies on the side. My panther grouper, Pongo, is doing well. He seems to have gotten a little more reclusive lately, so I don't see much of him unless I'm feeding krill, and even then I need to coax him out of his...

If anyone who cares missed it back in November, the rerun of my Monster House episode where they build my 250 is going to be on Wednesday night, 8 PM in most time zones, on the Discovery Channel. You don't see much, since they mostly focus on other aspects of the build, but there are a few...

Can anyone tell me the difference between reef and semi-reef? Thanks!

1. I'm thinking of going reef, but I really don't want to part with my panther grouper, who is 6" now and growing. I know that means no shrimp, and soon, no clowns or other little fish (though he is living with them now). Can I still have a reef tank, or semi, with the panther there? Its a...

Thanks for asking! No progress yet. My fish guy came and looked at it, and was still willing give it a go with the removal kit, at who knows how many hours of labor. We decided instead to call around and see if someone in the acrylic industry has a better idea. This is a pretty big surface...

I have a clown trigger, about 5-6". He will have to go soon (he came with the tank) because I want what I can't have as long as he is there: crabs, snails, starfish, etc. He is a bit of a butthead. He OWNS the food. The other fish only get to eat when he is done, or not looking, or I throw...

Originally posted by ozadars it can damage corals Is this a factor of pooping on them or bumping into them? I'd like to convert to a more reef-like tank someday, but I don't want to part with my panther. Obviously shrimp, little crabs, and little fish would be out of the question. But how...

Originally posted by jkvjl Did the periscope have a digital screen? That's the one. It is really an lcd monitor attached to a security-style camera on the deck above my office, with a remote control panning feature.

Originally posted by jkvjl That was your house, VERY COOL. I love that show. That's the house were that had like the front of a boat hanging in the house they made it.VERY COOL You must mean our submarine viewing platform. We also ended up with the periscope, and the 250. It's been up 4...

Originally posted by karajay How did that sanded part turn out? OK? He only started it. Evidently, you need to work your way down through the different strengths of sand paper, so I have another 4 pieces of sand paper (in descending coarseness) to work over it before it can be polished away...
