I give mine about 48 hours, then turn off the air. The egg shells will float and most of the shrimp will swim to the bottom. If you put a small light toward the bottom of the container they will swim toward the light.

I just recieved a group of Dwarf Seahorses out of Florida a week ago. Got 9 mixed horses Male/Female. Somewhere over the weekend I guess one of the males gave birth, my daughter found six babies in the tank. I had a few things die off and needed more sand for plants so decided to change to a...

Thanks, I'll give it a bit to cycle then check again.

I went to the Keys many years ago and bought a 7 day fishing license to catch fish for my tank. Is this still possible in Florida, and is there anywhere in the state that a person could collect any kind of rock from the ocean floor. I have seen that rock is off limits in the keys but I can't...

I have made some rock (about 50 to 75 pounds) with portland cement and ostershell. What I have read recommends curing (for PH) in fresh water for 6 to 8 weeks. I have cured this rock in fresh water for 12 weeks. PH stayed right for 4 weeks and I had green algae growing on the rock. I have...

Thanks for the Great Info BANG. Have you thought about or tried puting screen halfway in the tank. If the fry goes to the light and are small enough would this protect them from the parents? Just an Idea, or would it damage them if they hit the screen on the way up?

BrandonS Thanks That is what I thought but with all the blue from the HQI bulbs I wanted to check. WayWay I live in the SB/Elkhart area. I have been doing business with midwestcorals.com local wholesaler working on setting up retail. If your in the area he has a nice setup. Mostly corals but...

I have a 120 with 50 lbs of rock. Great looking purple and red coraline algea on the rock. Running 2 HQI and a 96 watt PC. The pc went out and I didn't replace it at the time. I now have a lot of Red or Rust colored algae on the rock and glass. I am replacing the PC bulb with a 50/50 so I...

Breeding Cleaner Shrimp Looking at breeding a few different animals. For Cleaner Shrimp would a 10 gal with undergravel filter work? Also if that would work which would work better, sand or cc? Would this setup work with Clowns? What type of filter is recommended so the fry don't get swept out...

Hi, I'm looking to buy some live mysis shrimp. Are there any avalible?

Also one other comment. I haven't found what I bought from SWF in my LFS and looking at the price of the items that my LFS has SWF has much better prices, and with the prices of the fish it takes nothing to come up with $80.00 worth of fish. The same fish at my LFS would cost me $100.00+ John

I've placed one order and won't hesitate to order again when ready. Ordered 2 Queen Conch, 3 horse crabs, xmas tree rock. All arrived alive and well. The conch laid motionless for a bit, but then started moving fine. This was 2 month ago, I have unfortunately lost my three horseshoe crabs but...

Hi, Any word when saltwaterfish.com is opening its store front. I will be in the orlando, Dundee area in a month or two and would love to check it out. Thanks John

How close to opening is Saltwaterfish.com's super store?

Yes it was still heavy, but with all rock and water out it was about 300 - 400 lbs. I bought some of the pads from Walmart advertised for moving furniture and used 4 of the large pads... Lifted each end of the stand enough to put the pads under the corners and then I pushed it like it was on...

I placed my first order with SWF, they were very helpful though the process. I followed the Acclimation process they have on there sight, and all went fantastic. I ordered a Chrismas tree rock which is full of life, along with the Inverts I ordered. First time I've bought stock mail order and...

OK I have moved the aquarium, I used 5 gal buckets to store the rocks in, I placed the buckets in the aquarium and placed the rocks without exposing them to air. I put the remaining water in trash cans, and the fish in food containers. Took about 3 hours to do the whole move. It's been 5 days...

OK I made this attempt this weekend. Here is a ruff draft of what I have done. The leveler (overflow) between the 120 and 45 is made of 1" PVC (Thin wall). I used a tee in the center with an airhose shutoff valve to prime the tube. This seems to work well. The water is replaced in the 45 at...

This is the 45 which I would build a new stand to put the tops of each tank at the same height. I have currently placed the contents of the 45 into the 120. TIA for advice John
