Since they were so cool about taking care of it, can you share where you bought them?

Thank you all for the information. Sounds like I should be in relatively good shape. Broncofish (or others), what the heck are silversides? I have seen this all over posts but have no clue where to get them or how you feed them.

I recently purchased a green brittle star from this site (AWESOME). I wanted to add just like one or maybe two fish to my reef setup. Do you think this is a problem (translated as will the starfish eat my fish!?!). Any input would be helpful. I searched the site first and didn't come up with...

Superman - I read a post recently that suggested setting up a large bucket of saline water at 1.035 or higher and then pick the rock(s) you think the mantis is located in. Leave that in there for a few hours. The excessive salinity will chase him out and likely do him in. Be aware that this...

Hey Track, how have you been plucking out those hairy crabs?

Thank you for the info. I am just working on setting up a refug and want to be sure not to screw it up out of the hole:-)

Swilbs83 - That is precisely what it looks like! I am listening for the popping sound to see if that is it or not. I am trying the method suggested in another post where by I have a bucket of highly saline water and I am dipping that rock to see if I can shake him loose. I am not totally...

So when it turns white is an indication it is going sexual?

Well I just saw the little devil. It does not look like the picture rather it really does look like a crab. This thing has got to be 1.5 inches in diameter and is furry looking. It has like 6 legs (from what I could tell). I am headed to the LFS to get some frozen "bait" so I can try to...

ReefSOE - If I can catch him, I'd gladly give him to you. I'll eMail you as soon as I get him and we can work out the details.

Hey, thanks for all the suggestions and support. I have to tell you that this little brat has been in there for 2 years and I have been dumb enough not to realize it. I feel like a total yutz for not having recognized based upon the clicking alone. I am going to give the soda bottle method a...

If you remove that hood, don't you need anything to protect the tank in the event that water were to splash onto the lamp? I have been contemplating the same. I currently have a 46g (something like that anyhow) bowfront all-glass and it has a plastic hinge that I believe would actually melt...

Mantis shrimp? What does it look like and would I see him typically? I have lost some snails but I assumed that they were more of a natural die off...Maybe not so from the sound of your note. Uggh. This is really frustrating. I feel like I have read so much but still don't know a lot about...

Probably not what you were thinking but I am having a major problem with some sort of hitchhiker! I purchased a great true perc about a month ago and about 2 weeks ago, he died mysteriously. All my water chemistry checked out perfect and none of the other stuff was stressed in any way (a...

Wow, really awesome pics! Thanks for sharing and happy new year.

Hey all, I am looking to move my 46g bowfront from the family room to the kitchen (easier time with lighting and we seem to spend more time in there!). I obviously cannot move it full. I was contemplating the best method for moving it. I was thinking to put most of the water into buckets and...

Wow, good luck keeping the water parms in check. I am setting up a 25g in my office this next week! I'll shoot some pics when I get it rolling.

Wow, 48 foot of lighting, must be some tank! Just kidding...happy new year.

As I understand it, the MH lighting is great for reef. Based upon what I have read and been told by others, PC is good, VHO is better and MH is best. Specifically though, MH in conjunction with some PC actinic lighting it the best combo for reef setups. Search within this forum for reef...

Broomer, using the gravity feed approach, does this mean as long as I keep the diameter of the flow from one to the next consistent that I don't have to worry about the various pumps passing up or not keeping up and causing a flood/drought? Right now I have a wet/dry as a pseudo sump. I'd like...
